THE UNIVERSAL PICTURE GALLERY;--Being Engravings from the best Masters,
both ancient and modern, by LINTON, GILKS, MEASOM, &c, with letter-press
illustrations.
_Demy 4to. handsomely bound in crimson cloth, gilt edges, price 7s. 6d._
It is the mission of art to realize and embody the ideal creations of
the poet; indeed, the painter must himself be more or less a
poet,--expressing by form and colour that which the writer educes by
words: and to bring both art and literature, in the most attractive
guise, to the homes and firesides of the many, is the aim and object of
the present work. The engravings are of the first class, from the
burins of Linton, Gilks, the brothers Measom, &c., and printed on
tinted drawing paper. While the subjects are systematically chosen from
the best works of ancient and modern artists, there is attached to each
such attractive information upon its origin, style, history, or
feeling, as may be necessary to enable the reader to appreciate its
peculiar excellence and value.

"----------------Give me the broad prairie,
Where man, like the wind, roams impulsive and free;
Behold how its beautiful colours all vary,
Like those of the clouds or the deep-rolling sea!
A life in the woods, boys, is even as changing;
With proud independence we season our cheer;
And those who the world are for happiness ranging,
Won't find it at all if they don't find it here."
