The Waverly Gallery Of The Principal Female Characters In Sir Walter Scotts Romances Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Waverly Gallery of the Principal Female Characters in Sir Walter Scott's Romances This has always been regarded as one of the sunshiny walks of art. Except in the case of that sublime countenance of Homer, which, though originally only the imagination of a Greek artist, has now become the accepted type of the poet, we know of no instance in which the severer labor of the pencil has been turned in this direction; but, on the contrary, it has been rather the painter's recreation. And as such a lighter labor of art, associated from its very beginning with happy thoughts, and the pleasanter moments of life, this Gallery is deemed a most appropriate Holiday Offering.
