...social characteristics, it holds an exhibition every month at which are exhibited chiefly home productions, but also valuable pictures in the possession of individuals. In this way a healthy emulation is excited, and works of merit brought to the notice of the public in a very attractive manner. It is hoped that this method of exhibition will do away with the custom of jockeying pictures, so common among picture-dealers, and so detrimental to the interests of the artist.

Its scathing criticism on an account of the Boating Convention in our last issue had for its object, no doubt, the utter annihilation of the Magenta. Still, we feel in duty bound to present No. 7 to our readers, and will here state that, though the article was necessarily written...
