THE FINE AIM,
Thursday the ,catluldu.g and awning were re-
, moved from the steno erected in Russell-sqoare,
iis honour of the late Duke of Bedford. ?deny
friends of the Duke and lovers or sculpture attend-
ed : the effect produced on the spectators was a
lively admiration of the performance, mingled with
emotions of regret for the loss of a Nobleman who
delighted in promoting the good of his country.—
The statue is colossal ; the attitude well chosen,
graceful and manly; the folds of drapery ure'am-
ple, yet sufficiently detailed. llis Grace reposes
one arm un a plough, the left hand holds the gifts
of Ceres, cohlormisig with the general plan of a
monument intended to mark the Duke's patriotic
fondness for agricultural pursuits. Spring, Sumpter,
e I 'dawn and. Hinter, personified iu the endearing
semblance of children, play round•the feet of the
statute, whose apparent magnitude seems aug-
mented by the contrast. The pedestal, in embel-
lishments and size, is well adapted to the purposes
of illustration and strength : to the four corners
are attached bulls' heads, in very high relief, the
cavity immediately beneath the upper moulding is
adorned witlcherds of cattle in recumbent postures;
on the curved sides are rural subjects in basso-
re firm ; the tirst represents the prepanttion for
the ploughman's dinner, the husbssidmais's wife,
on her knees, atteolls the culinary department;
a yosith, sounding u horn, two rustles, and a
train of oxen at rest, finish the groupe.—The
second composition is snide up of reapers and
gleaners variously employed ; the young women in
the centre is delineated with the comeliness sod
grave of a village favourite. These enrichments,
the four Seasons, anti the statue of the Duke, are
all cost in bronze, and so very successfully, that,
with the palish of high finishing, they preserve the
spirit of an original model.
l'he massy material of the pedestal is Scotch
granite, and, together with the superstructure, mea-
sures, from the level ground to the summit of the
nuniumeni, 27 feet. The principal figure is nine
fret high.
