Book Description
Excerpt from The Life and Works of Thomas Cole, N. A An apology for undertaking a work, from some incompetency, Is almost as common as a preface. Such an apology, however, common as it is, the present writer feels himself bound to offer. He confesses himself incompetent, for several reasons, with which he will not trouble the reader, to write well of the genius, character, and life of a true artist. Why then was it attempted? Because it was thought that he could, at least, do justice in part; and because the work seemed naturally to fall to him. The relation of pastor, and that in the, retirement of the country, admitted him, at length, to an intimacy with the painter in which he told him much of the story of his life, and, at its close, committed to his discretion most of his papers. It might be asked, in the present flood of publications, why the memoirs of a person, whose life is usually so quiet as that of an artist should be written at all? It may be said, that the history of any man who was simply a model of conscientiousness and moral purity, and of earnestness in the pursuit, and reproduction of the beautiful and true, - who, with strong will and great purpose, bad a vast patience, is well worth the writing and the reading. Much more so, if, to the above qualities, there were added those of a fine genius. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1856 edition. Excerpt: ...transparent loveliness. October 10th.--There is an article in the "American," addressed to the American people, on the subject of erecting a monument to Washington. As to the design of such a monument, I would say, let it not be a statue; for however great its size, its many parts and projections would render it less durable than something more simple: time would destroy the original beauty of the sculpture of a statue. I would not have a column; for that is only an architectural member, and not a complete whole. Although it were crowned with a statue, it would not appear to me either consistent or in good taste. A pyramid would answer in durability of structure; but that is unmeaning. To my mind a colossal altar would be the most appropriate, and the most capable of uniting beauty of form with durability. Let it be hundreds of feet in height; let a fire burn upon it perpetually; let it never expire while the nation recognized Washington as the Father of his country. Mor, g, noon, evening and midnight, let its flame rise in the oavens a symbol of his glory, and a Pharos to light the ch iren of freedom to deeds of virtue and greatness, for ages to come. October 30th.--The weather for a month has been truly delightful; but this day above all. A pure crystal-like atmosphere has floated round the landscape; and the brown of the leafless woods has been tinged with the purest ultramarine. The sky is clear and cloudless, the air is still, but fresh. 0 Nature, to the loving eye thou art seldom without smiles. November 21st.--In consequence of having a number of 208 LOVERS OP NATURE FEW. sketches to paint, my afternoons are so fully occupied that I have little opportunity of writing. Gloomy days have come at last, and brought with them...
