357.. "The Awakened Conscience," by Redgrave,
is weak in execution and crude in colour; and the
expression of the remorseful sinner is more fear at
some external object than the agony of an inward
hell.

In the large west room the numeration commences
with 407, " Wise and Foolish Builders," by G.
Harvey. Although the reality is but child's
play by the sea shore, it is doubtless.
intended as illustrative of Scripture parable ; whether
a worthy illustration may be somewhat more a matter
of doubt. Mr. Harvey is an artist of much reputation
in Scotland, but his picture is here placed so high
that it is not possible to judge of its merits. The
general effect is pleasing, though rather weak.
439. " Christ bearing the Cross," by W. H. Darley,
shows much power and grandeur of style.
449. "St. Peter and St. John healing the Sick,"
by Mr. Eddis, is a large and well composed picture,
and there are many goods parts in it; the head of the
mother is very fine in expression. The general
effect of the picture is injured by the qua:ity of
colour, vk htch is not clear and forcible and historic.
446. "Elizabeth and Mary; or the Song of the
Virgin," by Mr. Tait, from the lines in St. Luke,
" My soul doth magnify the Lord," is an earnest and
unobtrusive picture, which in style reminds one of
the early great men, and is painted in a clear and
subdued tone, indicating a true feeling for colour.
The subject is one of the highest nature in which
perfect success would be a great achievement. The
figure of Eliz tbeth is especially remarkable for appro-
priateness of expression and happy realizstiun of
character.

489. " The Outcast of the People," by Herbert
is an illustration of the verse in St. Luke, " The
foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests,
but the Son of Man bath not where to lay his head,"
and is an impressive picture of much simplicity and
earnestness. The time is bight, and the Son of Man
is represented in deep contemplation seated on a
rock by the desolate sea shore, and to the
left, the moon's pale crescent is descending towards
the horizon. We have heard it remarked that the
figure of the Saviour wants dignity and elevation of
character, and there may be some truth in this; yet
the picture is altogether one of high character and
great excellence. _

566. " Arthur and iEgle in the happy Valley," by
Martin, is, like all his works, remarkable and conspi-
cuous from its peculiarities. The cold darkness of hue
which pervades the picture, and the interminable re-
plication of barren rocks, give anything but the idea
of a happy valley.
531. "Morning on the banks of Zurich Lake," by
P. Danby, is a picture truly deserving to rank in:the
highest class : it is admirable; so simple in composi-
tion, so rich in tone, poetic i❑ feeling, and perfect in

execution. No one of our artists —display; a truer
feeling for the poetry of nature than does Mr. Danby,

. _
or selects its finestphases with more consummateskill.
With this picture our notice must terminate for the
present, but we hope to take an early opportunity of
returning to the subject.
