PORTRAITS OF FAMOUS FIGURES IN
FICTION.

CHARACTERS OF ROMANCE BY William Mich
olson. Sixteen Plates in a Portfolio. r. II.
Entering fields, Mr. Nicholson has modi-
fed the style which has been associated with
his name. The bold arrangement Of masses, the
altogether simple line TO which he accustomed
us in his portraits of living celebrities, he now
seems to have abandoned. He retains his quiet
key Of color. but in the matter of his draughts-
manship we find him putting two touches or
more in the place where he won't TO put
only one. We regret the change, yet there is
undoubtedly ability and a very taking original
ity in these designs. Considering them as in
terpretations Of famous personages in fiction, we
delighted and now left cold. Mr.
Nicholson's "Porthos' and his 'Chicot' lack
something of the glamour Of Dumas, and his
Don Quixote. is far from being the romantic
figure that dwells in the heart of the lover Of
Cervantes. But Mr.. Weller, as he Is here pre-
sented is capital; "JOrrocks' is perfectly done,
the Commodore Trunnion" is also plausible
and we like too. the "Gargantua" and the
Baron Munchausen." Mr. Nicholson seems TO
have odd taste for the fat men Of literature
Six Of his heroes are men Of mighty girth, and
despite his failure to create convincing "Por-
thos," we may say that he is at his happiest
with models Of the kind. We should not omit
however a word of approval for the delicacy Of
is the least admirable production in the lot
Another portrait drawn from a latter day hero
is one Of Stevenson's John Silver" not exactly
a SteyensOnian work Of art but not without
merit. 1t will not be long, we suppose before

business OF life which is for example the
slucidation Of those mysterious transactions

a donkey skin ultimately won the best OF nus
bands and a great kingdom into the bargain.
Mr. Lang has taken his tales from all regions
