Convey at one view a graphic history of the art
itself, and a brilliant idea of the perfection to which
it has been brought by ages of application and im-

which are conspicuous the Imperial eagle, with the
cipher of the Emperor. Upon the whole, the pri-
vate view; which, by the by, was crowded all day
with people of distinction, gave the utmost satis-
faction, and the feeling expressed was that, even if
the Dublin Exhibition contained nothing else, it
would be worth the while going to.
By the by, while speaking of the Dublin Exhi_
bition we may mention that arrangements were on
Saturday completed between the managers of the
Dublin Exhibition and the .directors of the rail-
