To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Allan Cunningham's "British Painters, " in the " Family Library, " is a book of much general infor- mation. The same author has written a " Life of Sir David Wilkie. " Much may also be derived from the "Life of Titian;" "Life of Sir Thomas Law- rence;" " Life of Fuseli. " We will next consider The Art of Sculpture, though comparatively lit- tle remains to be said. By cultivating a taste for the highest order of painting, which is characterized not by meretricious ornament but grandeur of concep...tion and simplicity of execution, we shall not be at a loss to judge of sculpture. The history of sculpture is very fully given in the " Penny Cyclopaedia. " You will there find an enu- meration of all traces of the art found in Scripture. The extent to which it flourished among the Hebrews, Babylonians, and Phoenicians, being little known, is the subject of only a few pages : but the style of sculpture at different periods among the Persians, Egyptians, Etrurians, Greeks, and Romans, admits of being illustrated with reference to existing remains.
