*in t 0 ivhte ,brisineSS;. Mr. Frank Howard was called
upon
.to' rea pal*. on' the Matas, of Art, and its
Critics WhiCh, after tracing progress of
act till it reached its nearest approach to perketion in
Greece and Italy, he proceeded to shoW the unifornilty
of principle to be found' in all the artistic critics down
to, a very recent, period ; and, in contrast, the
capricious variety of' the opinions of the public.. The
only real variations among the artists from first to last
had been upon minor details and questions of practice,
which still remained unsolved ; and he asked how the
public, uneducated in art, should be able to solve those
doubt; which still remained unsettled in the minds of
those who had devoted their whole liVes to studying the
stiVeet, and ba4 proved their mastery over all other
points: the president had offered the thanks of the
Society 6' Mr. Howard, a ghott discussion took place, in
Which, Mr. Joseph Ifoidt,, Mr. Hefteri Mr. S: Huggins,
and Mr: Cog took part. The meeting generally expressed
iheasel4eS highly pleased With Mr..Howardis interesting
