...December number of the Magazine of American History is essentially a Christmas edition. Two beautiful engravings of Rembrandt Peale's portraits of George and Martha Washington are the frontis-pieces. They have been contributed by Miss Stokes and have never been published before. "The Inauguration of Washington in 1789" is a paper well-worth reading, especially interesting in connection with the coming celebration of New York city...
...value to art students would be that in these periodicals appear etchings, a part of them original work by men of he present day, as Paul Rajon, or Maxime Lalanne, who died but yesterday; a part of them etched after etchings of the wellknown men of the past, as Rembrandt and Meryon; a part of them after wellknown pictures.

These illustrations, whether they were original work or after the "old" and "modern" masters, would certainly be a great help...
...earnest appeal for the requisite amount of money to build a monument in New York to the memory of General Grant embodies the most important feature of the first article in the January number of the "Art Review".

...they would use a little more drapery. The Dutch have more drapery than the French, though they are deficient in other respects. I cannot bear the sight of those Dutch girls with hats something less than the circumference of the earth, and with market baskets in their hands. No, Rembrandt, we cannot follow you; you loved nature, but it was a vulgar nature. The English are bad also, especially Turner; he is too landscapy. If I had only a head to paint, I might take the Florentines as masters, but I must give Antigone the rest of herself as well...
