COLLINGWOQD'S LECTURE.--The second of this

return of

gentleman's lectures, on art, was delivered last night, at
the Collegiate Institution. The lecturer, in the first
place' briefly reviewed his last lecture, and then pro-
ceeded to bring before his audience some new points of
Ills subject. He (commented with much seventy upon,
t4lle idea, which is so common at the present
‘ltne, that a mere manual dexterity constituted the
'great artist ; even manual dexterity, said he, (is
dot always considered a necessity, it being some-
'Lanes thought that if a person possesses a knowledge
'Of certain laws of art, he is also to be claimed as a
poster. He did not consider that imitation should reoeive
'hat amount of attention which was sometimes given to
it) as it was far from • being the highest branch of
art. Imitation must always be, to a certain extent,
defective, as, for instance, if the moon or a star be
imi-
tated, the imitation will not truthfully represent its
111041; in colours, also, imitation is utterly baffled,
might be easily proved by taking a (.'common
c'g from the roadside. (Hear, hear.) The same thing
Zas true, and to a much greater extent, in the case of
~oNvers. An imitation perfectly fierrect, though it
Wight nevertheless be found quite unable to represent
the most powerful manner the natural beauty which
,„,oninipreseut in the most common of nature's objects.
The lecturer discoursed at great length on the above
other branches of his subject, and. concluded amidst
the hearty applause of his audience. • •
