113 sible and familiar to every educated person. Art, when limited to such works as can be bought only by the very rich, becomes little better than the concomitant of French cookery, dresses from Worth, and hideously set diamonds : an object of ostentatious luxury ; whereas if only a little of the artistic power concentrated in such work could be bestowed upon things of easy mul- tiplication, small price, and ordinary use, it would not only bring pleasure into many lives in which pleasure is as... scarce as flowers in a close, smoky town, but also train innumerable men and women into an habitual perception of beauty, without which they must wander through all the galleries provided for them by the nation with mere vacant, unfamiliar wonder, and leave them as poor of durable artistic im- pressions as they entered them.
