EE VIEW OF NEW BOOKS.
From Claiton, Hansen, it Haflfelftngor
we hive received the following new publica
tions: "Fair France," by the author of "John
Halifax," etc., published by Harper fc Bro
thers, is a . book that has a special interest
just at the present time, when "Fair France"
is seen tinder vastly different aspects than
when Miss Mulock visited it in 18G. The
work, as its title-page describes, records the
impressions of a traveller, and it contains
little that is worthy of attention on aocoant
of novelty. It is a very charming book nev
ertheless, and is rilled with admirable bits of
description and shrewd, sensible reflections
on the country and poople. Miss Maloch's
Protestantism and British prejudices, how
ever, are made more decidedly prominent than
is necessary, and they frequently ffreventher
from taking a just and impartial view of mat
ters and things in such a country as France.
This is almost the sole blemish in what is
otherwise a very delightful and readable
work.
"The Cryptogram," by James De Mille,
published by Harper & Brothers, is a story of
great interest by a writer who is rapidly win
ning a high reputation as a novelist. This
story is planned somewhat after the peonliar
style that Mr. Wilkie Collins has made so
popular, and the plot is sufficiently involved
to secure the cordial attention of the most
experienced fiction reader. Mr. De Mille has
a lively, dashing style that is in itself an
attraction, and in the present work, which ia
in many respects an improvement over his
previous efforts, there are some excellent de
scriptions of character and some highly
wrought scenes that cannot fail to satisfy the
lovers of sensation.
"Woven of Many Threads," published by
James It. Osgood & Co., is a well-written novel
of English life that will repay a perusal.
From J. B. Lippincott we have received
"Lost and Saved," by Hon. Mrs. Norton, which
is a story that will not leave a very favorable
impression of the morals of the English aris
tocracy upon the mind of the reader, and
although it is, from an artistic point of view,
worthy of the high reputation Mrs. Norton
won years ago, it cannot be commended as
pleasant reading.
"Ginx's Baby," published by Koutledge
A Sons, which has been sent us by George
Gebbie, No. 700 Sansom stre et, is a work
that created a great sensation in England
when it was first published about eight
months ago. It is a strong and vigorous
satire upon the impractical efforts of profes
sional philanthropists, and much of it is as
applicable to this country as to Ed gland.
The forlorn foundling and child of the gutter
is personified under the title of "Ginx's Baby,"
oyer whom the Protestants, the Catholics, the
parochial authorities, and others interested
squabble until finally the fate of the baby is
if anything rather worse than if the philan
thropists had allowed him to die in peace in
the first place. The book is one that will
give offense on this side of the Atlantio, as it
bas on the other; but, as the Scripture
sayetb, "Woe to that man by whom the offense
cometb,'' we commend it to the earnest
consideration not only of those interested in
our charitable institutions, but to readers of
all classes, as it contains much that is worthy
of thoughtful consideration.
T. B. Peterson & Brothers send us "The
Sealed Packet," by T. Adolphus Trollope, a
story of the Italian war of 1848-1849, which
will rank among the best efforts of this popu
lar writer.
From W. S. Turner we have reoeived
"A Tale of Sin," by Johnny Ludlow, pub
lished by L. It. Hamersley & Co., an inter
esting and affecting narrative that has
considerably more merit than its title
promises.
Mr. Turner also sends us Applelon's Journal
and Ecery Saturday.
From the Central News Company we
have received the latest numbers of Punch
and Fun.
RVSEIN ON SCULFTUIiE.
The London AVienaum gives the following
summary of Professor Iluskin's recent lectures
on Sculpture at Oxford:
The subject of the two last lectures de
livered by Mr. Raskin daring the present
term was a comparison between the two
schools of Athens and Florence. Only twice
in the history of the world do we meet with
a perfect school of sculpture in the fifth
century before Christ at Athens, and in the
fifteenth of the present era at Florenoe.
TheBe two were not only consummate in them
slves, but were the origin of all that is good
in others. They both fulfilled the test of a
perfect Bchool. They represented the human
form in the best possible way. When we call
them schools of sculpture, we include in the
term such painting as fulfils the great objeot
of sculpture, which is, the realization of form
to the eye.
The most striking point of difference be
tween the two was, that the Greek exoelled
chiefly in representing the body and limbs,
and laid comparatively little stress upon the
face; while, in the Florentine, the face was
everything, and the remainder of the form
merely subservient to its expression.
. It is interesting to compare the Greek
Venus Urania and the Italian Aphrodite.
The former is a goddess of heaven; she
has power over lawful and domestic love;
her essential function is child-bearing; she
is calm, and looks straight before her;
she is the quiet guide of life. The latter
rises from the sea, and proceeds to lay a gu
land on the earth; she represents the passion
and anxiety of love; she is naked, and her
hair flows wild; she has bo care of herself,
but expresses the agonized hope of an infi
nite jealousy, Btrong as death. The Greek
Venus is always lovely, because the Greeks
did not believe that love could exist apart
. from what is externally fair. The Italian
Venus is plain, to show that love gives beauty
even to the meanest things. In the Greek
Vtnus, and in all Greek sculpture, there ia
an absence of expression; even in
death is the same calm smile.
Violence of gesture is never represented
in Grttk art. There is never any kind of strug-
le, even in tho combat of Hercules and the
cd. All st'Cli battles are, with the Greeks,
treated in a purely conventional manner.
Apollo calmly takes aim at the python, which
stands, in its turn, calmly awaiting the arrow,
gracefully twisted into a suitable and symme
trical number of well-arranged coils. The
object of Greek art is to exhibit the grace of
bodily action; never to show any mental
emotion. Florentine art, on the contrary,
represents the aotion of the mind. It is ex
pressive, in its saints and madonnas, of hu
mility and gentleness; and the whole figure
even the drapery is disposed with the view
of bringing out this idea. The mere beauty
of the face is nothing, and is held of no
account, because the first idea of Christian
art is that love, of itself, makes the unlovely
lovely. Hence, the Pre-Kaphaelites were
right in their pictures, notwithstanding the
severity of the criticisms passed upon them,
in making the faces devoid of beauty.
Greek art combines in itself all simplicity
and all complexity. It is perfeotly simple:
it is always free from any weak or monstrous
decoration. It gives life to what is dead,
and chastisement to what ia untrue. Eveu
the smallest Greek coins are full of a lovely
veracity. It avoids all heavy ornament, such
as we find on the lifeless figures on an Indian
temple. The function of Greek art is identi
cal with that of the mechanical skill of
Drcdnlus.
At the same time, Greek art is most com
plex. It loves things which are varied and
double. It is full of exquisitely divided va
riation and ohequeredness, and minute oppo
sition. We find this poikilia borrowed from
the Greek in the works of Albert Durer, and
Rembrandt, and Velasquez. It may also be
traced in the fantasy of Arabian walls, as well
as in the latest work in the front of Ilouen
Cathedral.
The real secret of the success of the Greek
and Florentine artists is, that they were gen.
tlemen, in the best sense. In England, we
have a theory that the clown should produce
art, and tne gentleman look at it. The rule of
all really good art is exactly the reverse of
this. The true artist must be a cul
tivated gentleman; in fact, the special cha
racteristics which tended to develop the
schools of Greece and Florence, are those
which principally raise and cultivate the mind
of man:
1 . The capability of enthusiasm, and the
recognition of it as the highest state of man
hood. This element was one which shons
forth prominently alike in Greek and medieval
gentlemen.
2. Obedience to seen and unseen authority.
The love of law, the submission to those set
over them, was strong in Greek times, and
still stronger in tne Middle Ages.
3. Habitual living in the presence of death,
and of death regarded as the end of life, not
as the beginning of a new existence. Death
was accepted as an evil, but it was regarded
without horror.
4. Purity of the pattern of love. In this respect
the Florentine school was far in advance of
the Greek, for although the Greeks dwelt on
the sanctity of domestic love, yet the abso
lute necessity of purity in the highest love
was an essentially Christian idea.
5. Imaginative or actual dwelling in the
presence of pure spirits. The Greek pictured
to himself the gods dwelling among men; to
the Christian his belief was a living and a
present reality. But the Greek had no idea
of receiving from these spirits pardon and
the forgiveness of his sins; so that hope and
humility were impossible to him. Here again
the h lorentine school was at an advantage
In Giotto's "Hope" we have a typical repre
sentation of the first of these virtues. In
Filippo Lippi's "Annunciation," of the
second.
Perhaps the best type of mediaeval figures
is Luini's "St. Catharine." Luini is the only
artist who can draw hair flowing loose, and
yet can, at the same time, keep the expression
of perfect purity. He alone, of mediioval
artists, could combine beauty and saintliness
The invasion of Italy by the Lombards and
Msigoths was necessary to the develop
ment of mediaeval art. In the Lom
bard history of Rosamond are found the
elements of all subsequent art. The Lom
bard legend, like the Lombard art, differed
very materially from the Greek. No Greek
king of the heroio age would have made his
queen drink out of her father's skull. In the
Lombards there was a fiercer spirit subjected
to a more subtle intellectual law and to a
firmer discipline. There was a violent ani
mal passion ruled by a fixed and undeviating
code of laws. This appears in Florentine
art in the dragon, everywhere present, but
everywhere subdued.
Chivalry aided in the development of me
dieval art. It was a recovery from the sen
suality of Home: its aim was absolute
chastity, and it regarded the relation of the
sexes entirely apart from sensual passion.'
This arose from anticipating an ideal state,
where there is no marrying or giving in mar.
riage. Such a belief rouses men to an effort
after an imaginative purity of love. This
is why Dante was absolutely free from
the animal pain of jealousy. The
chivalrio idolatry of sentiment was
even pushed so far as to raise a disoussion
whether true love could exist between mar
ried persons, and whether it is not de
stroyed by the passion of the body. This
question was actually brought before the
Court of Love of the Countess of Cham
pagne in 1147, "Utrum inter conjugates
Amor possit habere locum," and was decided
in the negative by some sixty high-born
ladies. This kind of imaginative affeo
tion must be distinguished from monastic
chastity; but yet the true life of religious
orders was not mortification of the body, but
satisfaction of the spirit: it was the laying
aside of the cwwn of humility; it was the
adoption, in the place of a turbulent life in
the world, of the vow to learn all that could
be learnt of the star which told of peace in
heaven and goodwill to men.
WRONG NOTIONS ABOUT FRANCE.
Appleton'i Journal says:
The current American notions of Franoe
have been generally formed from superficial
acquaintance with Paris and a few famous
authors like Voltaire, Rousseau, and the
modern novelists. But Franoe and French
character are suggestive of much more than
Paris, and Voltaire, and the novel-writers.
What most of us know about France is limited
to the external aspects of Paris life, and to the
Parisian writers. But these, though naturally
having tne ascendency of all light and spark
ling bodies, represent only the most super
ficial traits of French character. The varied
elements of race and temperaments, the op
posed and diverse moral and intellectual ma
teiials of France, are sufficient to Bhow the
fallacy of generalizations which represent the
Frenchman as a giddy, extravagant, irreli
gious, immoral being. Outside of the whirl
of Paris, France has engendered men of as
cold and hard a temperament as Scotland's
Knox, or New England's Edwards; soldiers
as obstinate as Grant; statesmen as pure as
Washington and lofty as Burke; she Las pro
duced Calvin, the root of a vast and sturdy
religious democracy, Descartes, the great re
former and liberator of European intellect,
who is said to have done for the intellectual
world what Luther commented in the eccle
siastical world; Pascal, than whom no Eng
lish moralist is more grave, and precise, and
searching; and L'llopital, the wise and
disinterested statesman. The Frenonmen
most widely celebrated, like Voltaire and De
Musset, for vivacity and shallowness, and yet
for penetrating and stimulative wit, are, after
all, like the light and sparkling wine of
Champagne, significant of but a part oi
France. We must not overlook tne cratty
and quarrelsome Norman; we must make
room for what Burgundy has given to
France, the richest wine and the
grandest eloquence, both of which suf
fer by transportation; fervid and splen
did types, like Bossuet and Mirabeau.
The truth in, the great renown of France is
the result of the variety and keenness, the
gravity and depth, the vast and multiform
genius, she has engendered on her soil and
iiourished by her civilization. Her genius
has been light, and keen, and irreverent, in
tne head of Paris, but strong, opulent, ne-
roio, at the extremities. Her greatest soldiers,
thinkers, and orators have come from the
Erovinces, and from them again must come
er salvation, now that her Parisian head is
powerless to deliver her from her enemies.
Dugucscelm, Montmorency,Turenne, Marshal
baxe, Honaparte these great soldiers came
from the provinces of France, and likewise
tne Hunkers and statesmen, L llopital, Des
cartes, Pascal, Richelieu, Montesquieu, and
Mirabeau. lhe sad and patient Trocnti
comes from Brittany, which is said to afford
the most unyielding element of the French
nation certainly the most devoted and reli
gious, in the Protestant sense of the term,
which is fidelity to an exalted sense of duty.
The truth is, French character is about
as multiform and many-sided as we
can possibly conceive; and yet such
is the force of prejudice, that among
the English-speaking nations French
character is but another term for f rivolty and
irreligion. This in spite of the fact that the
historic life of France has afforded the great
representative types of character, from Rabe-
lais and Moataigne to Voltaire andltenan; the
type of Christian sweetness in Fenelon, the
type of controversial and haughty power in
Bossuet, of Protestant plainnesss and logic in
Pascal, of genial humanity in Moliere, of poetio
sensibility in Lamartine, of poetio genius
in V ictor Hugo and George band, of intel
lectual discrimination In St. Beuve, of piety
and grace in Eugenie de Guerin. If we would
appreciate the French, we must understand
lhe measure of the influence of these men
and women, and we must be able to give
an account of them before we can presume
to talk about French character, which is not
one but many-sided in its historical manifesta
tions.
