...reproduction is a work of art. True art, the author says, is "nature reflected in the spiritual mirror, and tinged with all the sentiment, feeling, and passion of the spirit that reflects it." It is neither real or illusory; it is the embodiment of the inmost being of the artist. For, if the artist cannot feel his own work and infuse into it his own spirit, how can he expect his work to move others?

...London for the past year or more, engaged in literary work. A friend who recently visited him there describes him as haunting the library of the British Museum day after day. Last winter he spent in Egypt and the East in company with Percy Anderson, the well-known English artist. An article on Crete, with illustrations by Mr. Anderson, will soon appear in the British Illustrated, the result of materials collected during this journey.

...most that Lord Elgin was allowed to do thus far was to make drawings of these works of art and this was permitted only on the receipt of five guineas from each artist daily. In 1801 Abercrombie defeated the French and the fate of the Parthenon no longer rested on the result of the campaign in Egypt. At this time, De Hunt, chaplain of the British embassy to Constantinople, conceived the idea of moving the marbles themselves to London and finally in 1801, after some reluctance, gained permission from the governor...
