Ing treatise upon aesthetics will be hearth
~ welcomed. The hundreds and thou
sands Of American travellers who annu-
ally make the tour Of Europe, have long
felt the want of Just such "a work In
every city and town which they visit, the
great glory Of the people is some ancient
work Of architecture, or some splendid
specimen Of painting or some marvel of
the sculptor art Tho American tourist,
in due order, takes a look at them all,
and admires greatly-not the beauty Of or
the genius displayed in the work of art
but his own incapacity TO perceive any
thing wonderful where all the world beside
Is moved with admiration. After months
