They simply find particular works pointed out for examination ; but no reasons are asked or given for their being thought good, or condemned as bad ; and the critic and guide may himself be totally incompetent, if not, as is too often the case, biassed by favouritism or prejudice. It is precisely here that the want of a sound education in the theory and the principles of Art, as distinct from the merely technical, is seen. The public is thrown upon individual, and perhaps extremely one-sided, o...pinion, from which it takes its impressions, instead of having the power of forming for itself a judgment based upon a safe foon* dation. Amongst the errors to which an uneducated public is prone in estimating works of Art is the fancy that mere imitation constitutes excellence. It has its own very great merit. As a mechanical accomplishment it, no doubt, ranks, and should rank very high ; and an artist cannot be too diligent in mastering this most important element of practice, as his language of expression.
