The Winter course of lectures under
the auspices of the Washington Lecture
and Library Association will conclude to-
morrow evening with lecture by Hon.
VIM. Parsons, the great Irish orator. Sub
ject, tMichael Angelo The New York
Herald says of Mr.. Parsons and his lee
lures:
s',Fhe speaker, who is one of the few
distinguished lecturers the old country
has favored us with of late years, spoke
without notes or manuscript, and with
vigor, huency, and beauty of language
that evoked repeated sounds of applause.
His peroration might very well answer
for classic model of scholastic declama-
ton. The tale of how Angelo painted for
Pope Julius the concave ceiling of the
Sistine Chapel is one of the thrilling pages
that mark the life of this great man.
how for years, by night and by day, he
worked upon the ceiling, suspended a
hundred feet from the floor; how he over
came the apparently insuperable difficult
ties of giving to a eOncave the appearance
of a fat surface; how Ire followed up the
seven subjects he took to illustrate by
finally producing FEThe Last Judgment -
the most wOndrous, weird, and terrible
| production of the human pencil that the
world has ever seen. All these are themes
| that only genius can claim to offer. And
] then his final work, at the age of eighty
! years,-the vast and wonderful Church
of st. Peters at Rome, of which the world
| has nOt'the equal, was painted in words
| All these topics the orator, with a force
and eloquence seldom heard in the Cooper
Institute. vividly delineated.''
