PREFACE.
For the sixteenth time Royal Acapemv Picturks makes its annual appearance, and for the sixteenth time a few words are called for in which to draw attention to its object, and to comment There in a few brief sentences on the art achievement of the year, which in a measure it reflects. is here, of course, no pretence at completeness, for an exhaustive reproduction of the Academy This work, it should be explained, Exhibition would be neither possible, nor desirable, nor edifying. docs not even claim to include c[uite all of the best pictures, because in the ca.se of a few artists the copyright has already passed from their hands, and conunercial considerations, prejudice on the part of owners, or forget fulness on the part of painters, prevent their works from being included, and so enjoyed in the homes where they would bo welcomed in homes of London, of Great Hritain, and throughout the Empire. But the great majority of the most ini]iortant works in painting and in sculpture are to be found in the following pages the works of Academicians, of leading " outsiders," and of promising young artists who have sprung lately into notice. Within the covers of this volume, therefore, may be seen a fair representation of the Art of England in two of its chief sections,
during the period that has elapsed since tlie last issue. The Art of England. For the present-day art of Scotland (save that of Scotchmen residing in England) is to be seen but sparsely practically not at all on the walls of the Royal Academy. Thfs is a matter much to be regretted, for whether or not it be true (the question need not be discussed here) that the Scottish painters do not come up to the English Academy standard or view of what is right and sound painting, the fact remains that what would be to the public a refreshing and interesting scliool of recruits to Burlington House are as a body absent from the exhibition and, as Besides Sir George Rcid, worthily rc])reseutcd, to the majority, unknown to the English public. water-colour, not a single one of the band who have niade contributes a Cameron, who and Mr. D.

Tt is true that there are few pictures of such outstanding merit It beyond in iinagination and execution that they divide amongst themselves the attention of the public that love to ap])raise the Academy l)y its sensations, and to measure its success by the crowds that gather and ])ush around individual pictures. The year is one in which the inqiroved level of general execution allows of a truer judgment and of a fairer estimate and examination of the whole: and tho.se who can a])i)reciate the ipiality of the work, realising how nuich more important a question this is than that of annisement-at-tirst-sight," will pass through the galleries, or turn the leaves of this

NOTES.
As we pass round the Royal Academy to-day we find portraits, fine in character, expressive and natural in pose, lifelike in renderinLf, scholarly and skilful in modelling and colouring,', which are not unworthy of the reputation of the Mritish |>aiiiit'i-, cm n ili()nL,di in the ag<(reijatc tlioy are
not this year so striking,' as last. We have landscapis Ashich may otler few surprises, wl wiiicj) rcHoft with hrcadlh and tenderness the love in the lirilish soul for ever}- aspect and humour of nature. Three artists all "outsiders" have made their mark in the record of the year: Mr. Adrian Stokes, with a fresh and modern rc|)rescntation, e.\()uisitely felt (in tempera, hy the way), of landscape in Al])ine hcif^hts: Jlr. David Fanpdiarsou, with one of the best and most subtle snow pictures that have ever graced the walls of the Academy; and Mr. Aumonier with a masterlv rendering of fiat Knglish land, with singidar .sense of breadth and, as it were, of gentle force. 'I'here is no need to speak in any detail of the sidjject ])ietures, the marines, the animal ])ictures, save generally to say that in tcclmi(!al quality they show in the aggregate a higher degree of subtlety and of executive ability. As usual, bad pictures disfigure the walls; they arc not wholly ab.scnt from these pages, but their proportion is happily lower than in the past. The .scidptiu'c, which includes no work of great size or importance, is also to be appraised most for the qualities of delicacy, good drawing, and subtle modelling, with little aim at the grandeur and the noble which the marble and the bron/e should inspire. Mr. C'olton's "Spring-Tide of life" but it has suffered somewhat in the carving, seeming to have acquired is an cxciuisite grou]), a curiously Italian savour which the plaster did not po.s.sess. Yet when wc rcfiect what was the (eehnical level of this gallery twenty years ago, and what it is to-day, wc have every reason to congratulate ourselves on the improvement manifested by the A'ounger school. So much the Royal Academy establishes and it clearly proclaitus this year as well its eternal opposition to the swift handling of one section of the modern school

It will be doidjtcd if .Mr. Kyre Crowe is right in his mcehaiiical facts. He is right in not giving a movable cap to his windmill, which was not at that time invented by the Duteh, but he should then have made provision for his mill to be floated on water the first device for directing the sails to the direction of the wind or to be turned, as a whole, on a pivot, the German arrangement-. A stone building eoidd not be so treated. At the time of Crecy the lords of the land claimed the winds passing over their borders as their " property," and windmills could only be erceted with their permission, (iiusici.DA (p. 22).

Alain Chautikr (p. 40) By E. Bluiv Lrir/Iiton. Margaret of Scotland, Dauphine of France, we are told, one day discovered Alain Chartier, the poet, asleep.

Scotland, and died at the age of twenty-six, having passed a miserable life with the dcTout Dauphin. One of the most notable men at the Court of France was this Alain Chartier. who, although he was not blessed with beauty, was a gi-eat favourite with the Court ladies, b}- reason of his poetry and his ready wit. A touch of drama is added to the scene by the presence of the priest behind, whose quick eye detects the princess's act, and who may be expected to cai-ry the news to unsympathetic quarters. Chartier, who was Archdeacon of Paris, secretary successively to Charles YI and Charles VII, was a considerable tigure in Parliament, and was repeatedly employed as ambassador by his masters. He was dubbed " the father of French eloquence," and was held to be the finest speaker of his time.

But not to be denied, a handful of men here, another there, crept or squinned over, and went each man for his rock or stone on the other side. But liow were they to cross the open and bullet-swept hillside It looked as if the South Lancjishires had halted, pinned to the grouml by the Boer fire. Suddenly, about four o'clock, all further attempts at advancing under cover were given up, and the Lancashire Brigade marched proudly into the open ground and on to the enemy's works. Over the railway poured the South Lanaishires, and with a rush were presently at work with cold steel. And now, in contrast with their former bravery, the burghers lied in all directions. Others held up their hands, their rifles, bandoliers, anything, begging for mercy. Soldiers stooped over, piisoners were made, Eailway Hill was ours. A sudden realisation of victory swept over the field a silence then from afar a faint cheer .another, till it swelled into a roar, and all men knew'that the Battle of Pieter's Uill was won."

It has been asked whether in this picture of the daughter proud and defiant, standing with her hand upon the door handle of the room, ^yhelein the worthy old couple stare at her in startled anxiety whether the heroine of the drama is leaving her home or returning to it. The girl has returned, covered with jewels, clad in fine attire, hardened in heart, shameless still in soul. The artist's intention has been to draw a distinction between the Prodigal Son who returns wretched, tattered, and repentant, and the Prodigal Daughter of to-day, whose feuiiuiiie heart, once abandoned and whoU)' corrupt, knows no redemption, but glories in sin, and is conscious only of enjoyment as to the past, and as to the future persistence in the lost path on whicli she has entered.
