...with the help of their instructors, and other helps, to master the meaning of these. It will do little good for the instructor to point out the beauties in idea and expression. As to the beauty of ideas, any one who should put a decent amount of work upon Horace, and find no beauty in it, would, in my opinion, find none were it pointed out to him with ever so much care and repetition. And as to the beauty of expression, some of this must be seen in the anatomical dissection spoken of. But are we so in want...
...Chelsea Public thinks the IT H guilty of unpardonable impudence in not leaving the modern Pompeii, cap in hand, with obsequious thanks for the well-meant castigation inflicted upon it by the Public.

...criticism allowed here valuable, to the reader also such an exercise is beneficial. Even those who never write demand, as a consequence of their practice in this criticism, a higher style of excellence in books and magazines and papers. Not suddenly, of course, do they come to look upon what is mediocre with loathing; but because the process is slow it is none the less sure...
