Herald of the times. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1830-1846, 1838-11-22


received last week, but too late for i'll
scrtion. We fully concur with tho
writer in his remarks.
Mr.. ATKINSON,
Having been all my life connected
with the fine arts, and seen IA well a.
handled, some of the choicest spcci
mems Of the old Masters, an ardent de-
sire has naturally been created in IN,
to become acquainted with all living
artists, but more particularly with those
that drew their first breath in this oul
dear, our native land have been lee
to offer these few remarks in conse-
qucnce of having recently visited the
afeHer of Miss JANE STUART, in this
place, the daughter of the greatest
Painter that ever livcd-thc man who
has handed down to postcrity the most
faithful and striking likeness of the im-
mortal and dearly beloved WAsnlNG.
ToH--thc man who was taken by tn,
hand throughout Europe by the Royal
" and Nobility. He was in fact lite.
rail Y idoliZed by them-his works wcr,
III the greatest possible demand, ,-ano
at this day would be paid any price for.
w itncss his WAsuIvGToNs--tho sun.
can hardly. be named that would induce
lln f. mt fInt a
the daughter Of this man-(inheri,ine
in most remarkable degree the extra
ordinary genius Of her father, )--resid-
ing in this town, upon the very Island
that gave her immortal parent bilth, is
almost totally neglected by her country
men. Shall it be said that JANE STU
ART langushed here unknown and Ia
bored in obscurity, and finally died
without once being encouraged as she
deserved ? trust no. For the honor
of our country and tho rise and progress
of the Arts, even now in their infancy,
trust you will all cry No 4! Her works
arc truly wonderful, and slew the great
est versatility Of talent-cycry thing
seems created by the touch of her mar-
ic pcncil--she but as it were brcathes
her wishes and the scene appears. |
