MODEL ARTISTS IN LONDON AND PARIS. We
saw the model artists in London and Paris q
year ago. These exhibitions were decent re-
spectacle, and quite classical. In fact, nothing
else would be permitted there by the police -
the least indeceDcy or Improperly is watcht d
most closely by the public authorities, and re-
pressed Immediately. In this free city and free
country more latitude is allowed to every thing
at first, until after some time, when they begin
to run upon the borders of licentiousness, when
powerful reaction Of public opinion takes place,
and the moral sense of the community becomes
outraged, as we see in the present crisis Of the
model artists in this city.
