...verse in the present number, as a whole, is not as good as in former issues. Mr. H. E. Fraser's lines, In the Night, although not always smooth and musical, show much purity and simplicity, and their genuineness more than atones for any lack of polish. Mr. F. S.

The two artists who will be ranked as the great artists of this century are Meissonier and Adolf Mensel. Yet these two are essentially different. The former is the object of extraordinary notoriety which he himself fosters and although attaining some excellencies never reached before he is a pronounced example of the artist striving after a coarse publicity. Mensel is a true artist. The notoriety which he enjoys is spontaneous on the part of the public...
