Book Description
Excerpt from The Newcomes, Vol. 2: Memoirs of a Most Respectable Family How by degrees this slippery penitent was induced to make other confessions; how we got an idea of Mrs. Rid ley's account from him, of his dealings with Mr. Sher rick, need not be mentioned here.

Excerpt from The Newcomes, Vol. 2 of 4: Memoirs of a Most Respectable Family British art either finds. her peculiar nourishinent in melancholy, and loves to fix her abode in desert places; or it may be her purse is but slenderly furnished, and she is forced to put up with accommodations rejected by more prosperous callings. Some of the most dismal quarters of the town are colonised by her disciples and professors. In walking through streets which may have been gay and polite when ladies chairmen jostled each other on the pavement, and link-boys with their torches lighted the beaux over the mud; who has not remarked the artists invasion of those regions once devoted to fashion and gaiety? Centre windows of drawing rooms are enlarged so as to reach up into bed-rooms - bed-rooms where Lady Betty has had her hair powdered, and where the painters north-light now takes possession of the place which her toilet-table occupied a hundred years ago.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Newcomes, Vol. 2 of 2: Memoirs of a Most Respectable Family Amongst all ranks and degrees of painters assembled at Rome, Mr. Clive found companions and friends M The clever est man was not the best artist very often: the ablest artist not the best critic nor the best companion. Many a man could give no account of the faculty within him, but achieved success because he could not help it; and did, in an hour and without effort, that which another could not. Efiect with half a life's labor. There were young sculptors who had never read a line of Homer, who took on themselves, never theless, to interpret and continue the heroic Greek art. There were young painters with the strongest natural taste for low humor, comic singing, and Cider - Cellar jollifications, who would imitate nothing under Michael, Angelo, and whose canvases teemed with tremendous allegories of fates, furies, genn of death and battle. There were long-haired lads who fancied the sublime lay in the Peruginesque.man ner, and depicted saintly personages with crisp draperies, crude colors, and halos of gold-leaf. Our friend marked all these practitioners of Art with their various oddities and tastes, and was welcomedain the:, atel_iers of all of them.
