SCULPTURE FOR THE LONDON CORPORATIOS.
readers are aware of the determination on the 10' ei
the corporation to commission the production of
tain number of statues for the adornment 01. then
sion-house—a determination for which they and
architect, Mr. Bunning, deserve the warm thanks of
who are interested in the progress of the fine arts
country. In carrying out their intention, the cote
tion wisely avoided competition ; they visited lra;cV
studios, and then named by ballot six sculptel4i'
should each be commissioned to produce an ideal v/te
from one of the English poets. The artists selentifor
Messrs. Bailey, M'Dowell, Foley, Lough, Calder
ejP
shall, and Thrupp ; and they have each subtelttsi?
sketch in plaster of their design, one-fourth the reds
which is to be somewhat larger than life. The ega
are—following the same order as the names :—" 3i'42
Morning Star," Milton ; " Leah," from Moore's
of the Angels ;" " E2eria," from Byron's
Harold ;" Comus, Griselda, and a figure callel'oitY
" Lion Slayer, unappropriated. This last is to be le
drawn, and a substitute provided. The statuette
the most part promise very well; but, being little IYel
than sketches, everything will depend on the maufl 01,
which they are carried out, and for this, of couret?,
corporation depend on the reputation of the sculP totl
We sincerely hope that the result will prove satiate°
