Speaking of the famous sculptors, Thorwaldsen and Canova, Mr. Northcote's sentiments are very far from agreeing with received notions.

"A young artist (he says) brought me all Thorwaldsen's designs the other day, as miracles that I was to wonder at and be delighted The following observations are very good. till I The volume before us is divided into two "When Dr. Johnson (says Northeote) was with.

The surface is a part of nature, and will always continue so. Besides, how many useful inven

tions owe their existence to ornamental con-
trivances! If the ingenuity and industry of
man were not tasked to produce luxuries, we
should soon be without necessaries. We must
go back to the savage state. I myself am as
little prejudiced in favour of poetry as almost
any one can be; but surely there are things in
poetry that the world cannot afford to do with-
out. What is of absolute necessity is only a
part; and the next question is, how to occupy
the remainder of our time and thoughts (not
so employed) agreeably and innocently. Works
of fiction and poetry are of incalculable use in
this respect. If people did not read the Scotch
novels, they would not read Mr. Bentham's
philosophy. There is nothing to me more dis-
agreeable than the abstract idea of a quaker,
which falls under the same article. They
object to colours; and why do they object to
colours? Do we not see that Nature delights
in them? Do we not see the same purpose of
prodigal and ostentatious display run through
all her works? Do we not find the most
beautiful and dazzling colours bestowed on
plants and flowers, on the plumage of birds,
on fishes and shells, even to the very bottom
of the sea? All this profusion of ornament,
we may be sure, is not in vain. To judge
otherwise, is to fly in the face of Nature, and
substitute an exclusive and intolerant spirit
in the place of philosophy, which includes the
greatest variety of man's wants and tastes, and
makes all the favourable allowances it can.
The quaker will not wear coloured clothes;
though he would not have a coat to his back
if men had never studied any thing but the
mortification of their appetites and desires.
But he takes care of his personal convenience
by wearing a piece of good broad-cloth, and
gratifies his vanity, not by finery, but by having
it of a different cut from every body else, so
that he may seem better and wiser than they.
Yet this humour, too, is not without its ad-
vantages: it serves to correct the contrary ab-
surdity. I look upon the quaker and the fop
as two sentinels placed by Nature at the two
extremes of vanity and selfishness, and to guard,
as it were, all the common-sense and virtue
that lie between.'

Northcote, our readers are aware, was the pupil of Reynolds; and his recollections of that masterly artist (not previously given in his Life) are very interesting. They occur in various parts, and we must not stand upon order in their introduction.

His nonsense is as good as your nonsense, when
both are equally in the dark.

Of the Royal Academy Mr. Northcote does not express a high opinion: if one of its oldest and most distinguished members paints it in such colours, surely we may join the general voice, and proclaim that it wants reform.

The subjoined are yet more miscellaneous than our preceding extracts.

straws or pebbles that lie in our way.
The impertinence of mankind is a thing that
no one can guard against.

Speaking of the famed Author of Waverley, Northcote says:

"I was much pleased with Sir Walter, and I believe he expressed a favourable opinion of me. I said to him, I admire the way in which you begin your novels. You set out so abruptly, that you quite surprise me. I can't at all tell what's coming.' No!' says Sir Walter, nor I neither." I then told him, that when I first read Waverley, I said it was no novel: nobody could invent like that. Either he had heard the story related by one of the surviving parties, or he had found the materials in a manuscript concealed in some old chest. To which he replied, You're not so far out of the way in thinking so."" [A bit of the old mystification !]
