Turner Brothers & Co.
Mr. lluh Davids lias some Ideas well wortlijr
'f attention in his urticlc on "ExprcHsion In
Architecture." We call attention to Uio follow

"If wc would mioeopil In forming-nu airhltocture of

of modern life more mtinirl.v than any other; ami tf

either 1 ft "nun or oruamentailoii, we may pro.
i) e somethitifr worthy of oiirnifc: hnt nil direct
illtatlon - can onlv lead to l.nd results,
liei-aime to us the preater part of Its oinament, wllh
Its mounters, its grotesque linages, it rude and often
tiMleeent st ulpture. Its covert sntlre- and mystical
allusions, arc nieunlnKlcHS, or 11 at all understood,
only ly those whose tastes lead fheni to anll'iuarlati
or professional research. If we desire to ornament
our architecture in the name spirit which Is evident
in the mediieval worR. and which contributes e
much to Its value -in onr day, we must derive our
imagery not from limes past. Out Irorn the living
present. What interest would a Gothic, building,
apart from the liemity of its eonstniction, have
for us, or what light would It throw upon the
ajre of its erection, had the arehileet (rone to
I he temples of . Kjrypt or Greece, or Koine, for
Ins details? or what interest lias now for us a
perfect copy of a Piiitlicnon. or a temple of
Itaechus, or a Tliebun jmte? Architecture,
to have Btiy value beyond that of mere convenlenci)
iind utility, must express the living spirit of the ago
of Us construction; ami henee our stcumUoats
and our locomotives, our printinc presses and our
mules, our. sewing-machines ami our monitors, our
mowers and our cameras, must furnish tlielr iiuota
to the o'nuiniein of the architect if lie desires to cover
his edifice witli the records of the present., which
posterity will read with Interest ami instruction in
the future. Our early history, the struirifle for inde
pendence, the war of the lioiiellioii, the
emancipation of the slave, the clash of
polities, all should furnish themes for the
architect and sculptor; anil thus, If our architecture
should seem to us prosaic, every year would add to
its quaintness. and it would cease to lie a practical
and stupendous anachronism. If not beautiful lnir
eyes, It would possess ineutimaiile value in the
future, as to a certain depree honest ami character
istic of a (Treat age and people. Still, such orna
ment tyniibl ut best be but an imitation or auupta
tionof a mode of expression adopted and neces
sary in an atfe when most other media were un
known or denied to the people; it- is' unneces
sary for us to say in stone what we can print
in words. , The newspaper, the lniura.ine,
the lecture, the public assembly, are our natural ami
sufficient outlets of expression and Hilets of Instruc
tion; and therefore recourse to (lothic architecture,,
with its attendant sculpture and stained j?lass, for
fither necessity, seems a retrograde rather than a
progressive movement. At present wc have no archi
tecture: we build well, and our streets Miow elegant
and commodious dwellings,, costly and elaborate
churches, solid-looking banks, plain and useful pub
lic schools, gorgeous hotels, and warehouses ol every
style; but we look Iu vain for the expression
of an original idea for the successful working out
of a distinct purpose. We have buildings in every
imaginable exaggeration of bad taste and with every
possible confusion of rule, order, and style aggra
vatingly pretentious and provokbigly destitute of
architectural fitness. A Greek temple stands for a
custom house, a college, or a bunk; a prison Is repre
sented by a Norman keep or an Egyptian temple; a
court house resembles a barn or a 'factory; and so
most of our public buildings might be interchanged
without sacrilice of or detriment to any rule of
architectural propriety or icsthetie feeling. The
nearest approach to an ecclesiastical siylu was to be
found in the old-fashioned New Kngland lneeting
house. Original, built on no old World
model, the exhibition of the feeling of a peoplo
governed by a puritanical and economical
lisiike to all ornament, simple In their
tastes, earnest in their piety, resiles iu their habits,
and unstable in their local attachments, it wastrutli
ful and characteristic In expression; but it almost
jnstllied the reproachful criticism of being 'a porta
ble sentry-box of .ion' by the perishable material of
which it was built and the fttnisincss of lis construc
tion, it, however, has been of late superseded by
imitations in wood of Grecian temples and Gothic
cathedrals, which it is to lie hoped will again
give way to something more worthy of the age
and people. It is a question of great import
ance, in seeking to adapt any ancient style
of architecture to our purposes, to ascertain
not only how far it can be made useful, but how its
expression will be ad'octcd by its forced vicinity to
other and Incongruous styles. A good instance of
this may lie found in the Academy of Design in New
York, one of the must perfectly-executed buildings
in the country. In Venice or I'alenno it would be
entirely in keeping, but the general ell'ect Is Injured,
and much of the beauty and pinity of the design and
detail lost, by the obtrusive incongruity of its sur
roundings. "Although wo have no architecture proper, great
strides have been made of late years in the taste ex
hibited in the erection of our buildings, especially In
onr churches and country houses. The former are,
it is true, mostly copies of Kuropean types, more or
less debased irom me purity oi me originals, or
modelled upon the later and more florid styles of the
sixteenth century; but In the latter there is not only
. orlgnality, but often beauty of design. The heat of
our Hummers and the cold and snows of our winters
render a deep porch and spreading veranda not only
useful, but ornamental; and in this department we
see a better opening for a style original and expres
sive, unfettered and progressive, than in any other.
It seems impossible that we, so full of Inventive
genius in other tilings, should not sooner or lntr
have iru architecture of our own, particu
larly as, in this art, utility, the leading
motive, is one which has great charms for the spirit
ol the people. The diversity of climate, soil, races,
and occupations which marks America militates
strongly against the promotion of a style universal
or common to the whole country ; but there is no
doubt that, as our wealth is increased and our
tastes developed, there will arise what will lie known
and recognized as American architecture, having a
common principle, but varying In detail with the
special requirements of each portion of our exl ended
and Increasing territory. What is needed is thought
and study on the part of our architects, and knowl
edge and appreciation on the part of our people.
Nothing is well done in a hurry ; ami this great na
tional characteristic must be abandoned or modilied
so far as architcutnre is concerned. We 'must give
the time necessary to complete our design, ami think
out the detail for ourselves, instead of copying both
from the works of other tines and other countries.
All shams must be abandoned, all eilbrts
to produce effect without honesty of con
struction exposed and decried, all shilis
and contrivances . to diminish necessary ex
pense avoided, and the work begun, carried oiji, and
completed with a due scii.se of its importance, pres
ent and future, and ol its lituess both iu piii-posc. and
expression, before we can i-bum either to have an
architecture of our own, or fli'ii tu present to the
world a single good specimen of that of other lumls."
From the paper ou "The Prospects ol Trade, "
by Hon. Ainasa Wolkor, we make this extract:
'There is and must be a general scarcity of cur
rency throughout the country, because that'ariicle is
so superabundant, 'Phis statement Is doubtless u
paradox to the unreflecting; nevertheless nothing is
more certain. The history of the country for the
last fifty years shows that money has always been
most scarce, and the rates of interest most advanced,
when there was the largest absolulo amount iu cir
culation. The reason for this is obvious. As a cur
rency w expanded, speculation Is excited, prices are
greatly raised, and it takes a much larger amount of
money to transfer an equal amount of merchandise,
while the operations of those, who are engaged in in
fluencing and controlling the immense amount of
transferable property of ail kinds held for specula
tive purposes absorb an the surplus, and leave the
money market in a stringent condition.
"Money, we must recollect, is win-re not In propor
tion to Its actual quantity, but to the relative demand
for it. When, therefore, in addition to the natural
wants of trade, the spcculalive interest conn s into
market, the extraordinary demand Is certain to cre
ate a pressure; o that, prucllcally, it has always
been true, as it is now true, mat an expanded eur
reney will be most scarce when it is most abundant ;
that collections will lie most unsatisfactory when
the circulation Is largest; and that the rates of inte
rest will be highest when the loans of the banks are
most extended.
This important lesson the people must learn; and
if they would have jjioiicv plenty and cheap, they
must insist that the nffiount shall be reduced to its
iiuiural linill to that point where it Is at par with
specie. They cannot have an easy and reliable
money market until that which is called money is
truly so; and we Incur no risk in predicting that a
Hatlsfactory state of trade will not arrive until the
eurreiicy of the nation is equivalent in vulue to tlio
currency of commerce.
"In looking forward for the remainder of the cur
rent year, we do not anticipate a general panic or
breaking down of the national industry, because the
currency Is now a fixed quantity, and cannot be (as
in the case of a mixed currency it must be) suddenly
withdrawn from circulation whenvver there is a
pressure on the banks for the redemption of their
notes; buti we do exiiect that trude, manufactures,
w Uimuw jseuerulijf will h dA'prv-W', U'tt jiroUta,
will small, expenses largo, rents and rat
term high,' and losses from ilcllnniient ol M
heavy; whl e in the large centres of trade, I
aliv in the largest, 'the spasms' of the moucy
market will be frequent and violent, .
, From the -"Maiden Soldier," by Mrs. Diet, .
we take this about female warriors:
"It Is not a very uncommon thing for women to
servo In tlio disguise of soldiers, and our late war
"presents several examples. The services, however,
appear to have been Inconsiderable, and the disguises
Imperfect, for 'discharged' Is the brief record of
nearly all. In the war of the American Revolution
two or three Instances of heroic action on the part of
women were gratefully acknowledged by the public
authorities. Congress passed a resolution making
honorable mention of t lie service of Margaret Cor
bin, wounded at the attack on Fort Washington,
where she filled the post left vacant by her husband,
who was killed at her side while serving a piece or
artillery. A complete suit and half the monthly piy
of a soldier were voted to her. The gunner s wile
who took her husband's place when he was killed at
the battle of Monmoutn was rewarded by a commis
sion. Hut no adventures of the kind attracted so
much attention as the wonderful romance of the
Massachusetts girl who actually served in the He
volutlonary army through a long term, and rendered
services valuable enough to be rewarded by a pen
sion during life.''
From Turner Brothers it Co. wc have re

Deacon fi Peterson. A iiuc steel emjravintf of
Shakespeare's '"Isabella," in Measure for Mra

The London AthcHttnm says:
We have been nsked fur n" further exposition
of the history and characteristics of the scries of
impressions from the plates of the "Liber Siudi
ortiui," purchased front Mr. John Pye for the
Print Boom, British Museum. This, is not an
occasion for an essay, but it may serve to ex
plain certain parts of 'the history of this fatuous
work if we recall some of the incidents' which
attended its appearar.ee. It must be remem
bered, that the point of the history distinctly
indicates the absence of patronage for or even
understanding of nit. not -portraiture, in the
country at the beginning of this century. The
history of the failure of the "Liber'' shows this,
briefly thus: Turner, about 18011, commenced
a series of designs, for such they were,
in illustration ol tlio more recon
dite principles of chiar-ocuro a term which,
as wc need 'hardly explain, menus a great deal
more than the words '"light and shade'1 and
composition. Jle chose landscape and its con
nate architectural -1111(1 marine themes ns expo
nents of his aiiiH and lessons. . He might
equally well, had it f t;':ted him. have employed
figures for this purpose, ns other potent ch'iar
oscurists had done; in some' respects, however,
the art of the master could lie better shown
by themes which were le?s likely than incidents
of human life to divert the inind of the ob
server from the dciign to tlio mere subject of
a composition, and Turner wauled to show art,
not to produce a series of illustrations, histori
cal, topographical, nnd othnr. To ex'press
sentiment in landscape- was amon-j his
chief aims. Iu . this sense of his pur
pose, '"iSolittido," one of the "Liber"
designs, is a poem drawn on paper; so are
its fellows, "The River Wye," "London from
Greenwich," and the rest. With this nspect of
the subject, however, wc have little here to
do. Turner divided his "texts" into classes, nud
proposed to publish ne hundred examples in
twenty parts, which were to bo periodically
issued, and to comprise five plates each. Apart
from the details of publication, which were of
no well-promising cliaancter, Turner's plan ori
ginally was to make drawings in Sepia for the
guidance of the mezzotint engravers. The
maioritv of the drawings thus made are now at
South Kensington: these have- been photo
graphed; syme of them, as usual, with remark
able fortune, others with as remarkable ill luck.
The best of the copies are, as exponents of com
position, and, occasionally, of sentiment, nearly
as good ns the originals, of extraordinary value,
and commendable to poor students because they
can be got for a shilling apiece. Others are un
mitigated rubbish. Probably more uniform re
sults might be obtained on rephotographing
these drawings.
The best of these drawings, however, and still
more the photographs from them, are extremely
inferior to impressions of the plates which, after
the designer had etched the outlines, the several
engravers prepared: also to the eleven "Libers':
which Turner wrought with his own hands from
first to last. Among Mr. Pyle's collection are
several which bear the touches of paint placed
by the artist in directing the engraver. It was
found that the copper plates on which the sub
jects of the work had been mezzotinted failed,
so exquisitely delicate wns the engraving, to
produce more than from twenty to thirty fine
uiipicHMoiis. i urnci iiiuisi'ii, uiereioi e, in oruer
to carry on the work, executed from time to
time all the needful reparations upon the copper
plates; and thus impressions were obtained
which constituted a series of "Liber" . prints
distinguished among amateurs as impressions
of the plates in their "second ' and "third"
'States" of repair. These "states" arc conse
quently of less value than impressions which
were taken from the plates in their original
condition Yet, apart from composition and
sentiment, being results of the artist's genius
and profound know ledge of chiur-oseuro, even
these "stales" are valuable, and extraordinarily
so when, as in the folios of Mr. Pye, a conside
rable number of them are brought side bv side
with Impressions Irom the plates as originally
mezzotinted. One oi the grounds upon which
the interest of the laic purchase for the Trustees
of the British Museum rests is, that we have
now opportunity for collectively studying most
of the subjects of the original work under the
influence of changes which' are wrought upon
the plates, and produced what may be cslled
"Eflecls No. a," "No. 3." and sometimes "No.
4." Even it collection of original impression ex
hibits cllect No. 1 only.
The change and general decadence of the
prints us they came from plates which had been
more or less frequently wrought upon are illus
trated in n very striking manner in the British
Museum collection. Although such changes,
which constituted the successive "states" of' the
prints, were not invariably injurious, it U rare
indeed lo noie an improvement in the progress
Irom "state'' to '"stale;" in a few instances state
No. !! is better than state No. "J of a certain
plate ; never, lo our knowledge, is a state No.
'i better than an original impression of the haute
plate. 1
'1 he hi.-tory and cvient of the changes made
in the plates huc been given with strange exag
geration and a few errors, but it, would be hard
lo exaggerate the cVUVi.-ullies not only of the ar
tist and his engravers, but of the very subscri
bers to tins extraordinary publication. The
price was raised verv considerably on the ap
pearance ol the second part. The parts appeared
after no regular intervals; long periods elapsed
between several of the Issues, and nobody knew
when one would be billowed by another. Tur
ner, or some one whom he co'uhl trust, sorted
out the impressions in .-uch a fashion that what
was conceived to be a near approach to emialliv
of value was obtained lor the respective purls its
they were issued to Individual subscribers: no
single part consisted wholly of original impres
sions; parts were made up with impressions of
No. 2s and No. bs, and a rough kind ol jus
tice seems to have been done
Turner published for ready money only;
those who failed to make up their set's in duo
order by paying for tlieiu experienced the in
convenience of having broken sets. The issue
went on in tiiis odd way until it entirely failed;
the hist part appeared in 1S, or fourteen years
after the first; the fourth part was enriched by
an exquisite frontispiece which the artist pre
kcnted to his followers. There are thus seventy
publtfjicd ilutes ami UiQ frontispiece, Turner,
when the series rnroc to an end. gathered whftt
would be called the "remainder of his impres
sions, and sold them In sets. , ,
Much gossip has floated about with respect to
tho "Liber tttudiorum." It is certain that the
nrtlst'affordcd not a few Illustration's 'of his pecu
liarities of mind and judgment in his ideas of
fmblishing the work, which, whatever might
uive been their sources, clashcd-tcrrilily with
commercial necessities, customs, and prejudices.
After a short time from the firstrlf not irom the
first issue, he refused to allow the usual proiits
to retailers. As ten per cent., afterwards re
duced to five per cent., was all tho traders could
hope for in return for their trouble and the use of
their capital, of course they did not. for the love
of Art alone, procure and distribute Turner's ven
ture. Would-be purchasers were thus frequently
compelled to go to O.ueon Anno street, est, in
search of their copies, and were there supplied
by the artist. The worst impediments, how
ever, to the course of tho "Liber" were the ex
treme irregularities of Its isues. The personal
nnd other incidents of its history involve tho
designer's difficulties with the engravers who
successively undertook portions of the series of
plntes: the lack of patronage for the work did
not allow him to remuuerute, them fairlv; other
incidents evoke admiration for the energy
Turner threw into the execution of Unit part
which w-as reserved to himself. Then we ex
perience regret on account of the nbamlonmert
of the idea of completing tho scheme as at first
proposed, when more than a fourth of the work
remained to be published surprise at Turner's
apparent indifference to the unfinished state of
about a doen of the plates w hich remained un
published, and would have gone far to fulfil the
original plan and, lastly, wonder at the extra
ordinary perseverance which carried the noble
notion of sin h a work so far as it went, despite
its lack of profit. These arc some of the matters
for thinking which the subject suggests.
