DIBTSXB^TIOK. ^9 Tkere k, however^ another pointy and a st^l more importuit one, bearing on this matter of purchase^ than the keeping down <^ prices to a rational standard. And that is, that yon pay yonr priceB into the hands of living men, and do not poor them into coffiiffi. For observe that, as we arrange our payment of pictures at present, no artist's work is worth half its proper value while he is aUve. Hie moment he dies, hk pictures, if they are good, reaoh douUe their former value ; but that rise of price represents umply a profit made by the inteUigent dealer or purchaser on his past purchases.
