Book of the artists American artist life, comprising biographical and critical sketches of American artists: preceded by an historical account of the rise and progress of art in America . refresh the thought of his companion. By this conta6l with leading minds in various countries, by habitualobservation of nature and art, and especially through the exercise ofgenuine mental independence, he disciplined and enriched his intelle6l inevery sphere. True to his American principles, he recognized no aristoc-racy but that of nature ; broad in his views of life, he rose superior to alljealousy or narrowness ; bold and free in opinion, he uttered his honestsentiments with candor and enthusiasm ; and thus, in the chara6ler of anartist, he brought an ever fresh accession of information, wit, and genialityto the social circle, and shed abroad the light and glow of a noble, kindly,and inteUigent man. It is in this view that we feel the void occasionedby his death, and reahze the loss his country has sustained; for art,though a grand and beautiful, is not a universal language, and when hergifted votaries are also priests at the altar of humanity, they are doublymourned and POWERS.
