LIICTUIRES ONBO:7I.I6TURV.
Mr. FiARIKAN. COMlTiatleed his Course of Lettufes
OA Sculpture on. Monday. He traced, in a very able
manner, the progress of that art in this Island, from
the earliest ages of uncivtiliaed• barbarity to the blaze
of splendour and excellence it has attained in our
times.
In an enumeration of the departments of Design,
Painting holds the first place, and Sculpture closely
follows it. A proof of the great estimation of these
two arts among the Ancients, is the light in which
the greatest philosophers considered them. Plato
studied Painting ; Socrates was a Sculptor ;—and
Aristotle himself may be ranked among the number
of the Fine Arts.
Among the ancient Britons there is no appearance
of Sculpture having received any attention, until the
invasion of the country by the Romans, who intro-
duced images into the Temples, and placed them on
the Altars. In making this observation, Mr. Flax-
man exhibited two heads, casts from ancient relicts,
dug up at Bath. They represent Diana and Mi-
nerva, and appeared to be copies of some excellent
productions.
The Saxons destroyed the works of grandeur
brought over by the Romans, and introduced in their
stead the rough and barbarous images et the gods
their own uncultivated imaginations had suggested.
No sepulchral statue is known in England before the
time of William the Conqueror. In the reign rf Ed- I
ward the 111. efforts appeared which are worthy of '
respect even in these days, of which Wells Cathedral
affords a striking example. Specimens of the sculp-
ture in this church Mr. Flaxman produced in draw-
ings, and remarked, that the figures posseised a noble
'simplicity, and beautiful elegake of composition.—
Besides, in speaking of these specimens, some regard
must be had to the circumstances under which they
were muted. There was then no knowledge of
Anatomy, and what little was known of the science
of Optics was confined to two or three learned
Monks. Some 'slight glimmerings of perspective
were, indeed, reserved for Roger Bacon, a few years
afterwards. Under these circumstances it is not sur-
prising that the figures are ill drawn ; but parts are
beautiful, and sometimes possess a grace more mo-
dern productions have not attained.
Mr. Flaxman pursued his course in a very cleat
manner, through the reigns of Edward I. and 111.
'dm. to Henry VIII. He here produced some spe-
cimens of the sculpture on the tomb of that. Monarch,
the figures of which, though superior in proportion
,ot form, were, he observed, far inferior in simplicity,
grandeur, and natural appearance, to those which de-
corate the Chapel. The Professor then continued his
remarks through the succeeding reigns, and ended
by observing, that since this Academy had been
established under the auspices of 'our present Sove-
reign, England had possessed a Sculptor whose works
had eclipsed those of all his continental cotemporaries.

IMPROVRMINT IN VIII ARTS, PARTICULARLY Palt-
TRAIi-l'AlNlixo.—The new discoveries about the phy-
siognomic:a expression of the different faculties of the
mind, together with the discovery of the anatomy of
the brain, hitherto quite unknown to anatomists, Will
be of great use to artists, particularly to portrait-
', painters. A Professional Correspondent, who had
Ip.tid particular attention to the subject of compara.
tive and human anatomy, assures us, though unwill-
ing at first to assent to the apparently-chimelical
doctrines taught by Drs. GALL and Seorratztni
on an investigation of their anatomy, he found so
scientific and complete a development. of the struc-
ture of aq organ before quite unknown, that he fol-
lowed up the study, and is convinced, front accurate
elimination, of the truth of the general physiological
principles of his theory: and he laments that he ever
wined in crying out against it with those Anatomists
who, professedly ignorant of his theory, are employed
in, condemning what they cannot understand ; and
who fancy that a great name in the science will jus-
tify them for disputing facts they have confessedly
never examined, and prejudicing the minds of ad-
miring multitude of tyros. Our Correspondent says,
that, however fantastical many facts in the•lheory
may appear, there is, nevertheless, enough of interest.
tfig truth demonstrated to repay the anatomist and
artist for die trouble of the investigation.
