vlRelNlA's FOREMOST SCULPTOR

Edward Virginius Valentine Is not
culv the leading sculptor of the Oid
ro1ninon state, but he stands in the
very front rank of American seu!ptors,
and has won an enviable reputation
across the water. He is no longer a
young man. He was born in lS3S.
though his alert bearing and clear eye
convince his new acquaintance that
figures NAV be misleading, if they can
not be said to lie
Mr. Valentine is a true son OF Nlr-
pinia. He was born in Richmond,
which is still his home, and laid
foundation for his art work at the
Medical college of Virginia. Later he
went abroad, studying under the best
masters to be found in Paris. Flor
enca and Berlin.
The cities OF the south contain
rlc,lv fine specimens OF Mr.. Naien'
tines work. The statue of Thomas
Jefferson at the Jefferson hotel in
Richmond is a masterpiece which no
one who has seen it is likely to for
get. and the recumbent statue OF Cen
eral Robert E. Lee at Lexington, Nlr-
ginia. is said to be the finest recum-
bent statue in America. But though
Mr.. Valentine excels in this style OF
work, he has produced some compost
tons which are ideal. for example the
classic group Andromache and Astyan-
ak and that called Judas and Grlet.
Mr.. Valentines wsrk shows no de-
crease of excellence with his advano-
ing years, and his name certainly de-
serves to be added to the long list OF
illustrious men whom Virginia mas
given to the nation.

OF the general rule that new state

derived from the principle Of non-in-

more erroneous than this supposition.
The attacks against which the
United States engaged to protect New
Granadian sovereignty were those Of
foreign powers; but this engagement
