such book as this IL pretends to be q history OF
the Fine Arts, illustrated by engraving Architce-
ture, sculpture, painting, engraving, drawing, etc.
etc, are all dispatched ia the short space OF 80
small l2mo. pages. The wood cuts. particularly
those Of "Rubens "Poussin," "Girl pouring
wine," etc, are miserable caricaures, and the en-
craving Of Benz imin West is an Infamous libel on
the features Of that intellectual man. in quoting
Hoxarths words, the 25lst page the proof reader
Dug bt to have omitted the apostropbcs IS the

subject the Fine Arts, deserves better book than
this miserable trash from Zines and Others; and
firm is well calculated to publish superior book
on this subject the Harpers. Therefore, we hope
that they will discard this from their library, and
get up good one in several volumes.
