We cannot greatly compliment him on Ina skill in
writing, for his style is diluse. often awkward,
seldom approaching to neatnoss and never to ele-

authorship.
NOTES IN ENGLAND AND ITALY 81 Mrs. HAw-
IHoREE. l2no. pp $40 q. +. Putnam SON.
The recent death of Mrs Hawthorne is adapted TO
awaken fresh interest in this admirable journal Of
her artistic and social experiences in Europe. With
the exception Of the excellent works of Mr. George
s. Hillard and Mr.. William Ware, few books Of
American travel have made any valuable contIIbu-
tions TO aesthetic criticism furnished any satsiac
tory aids TO the comprehension and enjoyment of the
illustrious masterpieces of European sculpture,
painting, and architecture. The present volume
forms an exception to the prevailing rule Mrs.
Hawthorne wss a natural artist. She had an eye Of
rare acuteness for the beauty Of form and color,
combined with no incOnsiderabe power of cXecu-
tiou. Her cultivation large and gem
erous. CoDversant from early youth with the finest
specimens of art to he seen in this country
fond Of study and familiar with books, attuned
by social intercourse to harmony with the noblest
expressions Of the Beautiful in literature and art
she was singularly prepared for intelligent com
munion with the wonders OF European galleries and
museums The record Of her impressions in this
volume is not only delightful reading bat fall of
instruction. As some example among many, read her
description in the Roman journal Of Guidos cele-
bratcd portrait Of
