The Exhibition of the National Academy of Design, 1827. The Second. New York. D. Fanshaw. 1827.

THE Second Exhibition of this institution was opened to the public early in May. It consists entirely of works never before exhibited by the Academy, and these are exclusively by living artists. We cannot better introduce a few critical remarks on a display of talent, which does credit to the city of New York and the whole country, than by a few brief observations on the nature of these exhibitions. The Preface to the Catalogue of the Academy, the title of which is at the head of this article, well expresses the object of the Society, and very properly distinguishes the exhibitions of an academy from other exhibitions of pictures, &c. They say,

"An exhibition of the works of living artists forms an essential part of the academic system, in all the academies of Europe. They differ altogether in their object from those permanent collections of works of art attached sometimes to academies, but oftener entirely separated from them, belonging sometimes to distinguished individuals, sometimes to the nation; as the Louvre and Luxembourg in Paris, and the National Gallery in London. The object of these latter is to bring together the excellencies more especially of ancient art, and preserve them, as permanent models, to the artists and the public. On the other hand, the exhibitions of the academies are intended,

"1st. To show the state of modern art, by inviting the living artists to an annual display of their productions;

"2d. To furnish an opportunity for the young artist to bring himself before the public, by the side of the older artist, by which means he is enabled to prefer his claims to distinction, or to see his own defects, and to improve;
