"This is one of the most beautifully illustrated books ever introduced to the public; and, to add to its value, the letter-press descriptions given are written by masterly hands, and convey a large amount of important information. The work contains nearly fifty illustrations, comprising the finest subjects in the art of sculpture, both antique and modern; and the engravings, which are executed in outline, have a light and graceful appearance. To the young student this work will prove of great advantage; its engravings, and its sound practical instruction, presenting to him materials for thought and action which few other works on this divine art can offer. The book is printed in strict keeping with the illustrations—neat, chaste, and elegant."—London Mercury.

DEDICATED TO ROBERT VERNON, ESQ.
THE UNIVERSAL PICTURE GALLERY;—Being Engravings from the best Masters, both ancient and modern, by Linton, Gilks, Measom, &c, with letter-press illustrations.
Demy 4to. handsomely bound in crimson cloth, gilt edges, price 7s. 6d.
It is the mission of art to realize and embody the ideal creations of the poet; indeed, the painter must himself be more or less a poet,—expressing by form and colour that which the writer educes by words: and to bring both art and literature, in the most attractive guise, to the homes and firesides of the many, is the aim and object of the present work. The engravings are of the first class, from the burins of Linton, Gilks, the brothers Measom, &c., and printed on tinted drawing paper. While the subjects are systematically chosen from the best works of ancient and modern artists, there is attached to each such attractive information upon its origin, style, history, or feeling, as may be necessary to enable the reader to appreciate its peculiar excellence and value.
