J 9719519 to blo Your sincere and affectionate Friend,

why, as you are many, you have not taken the name of the Directory, or the Directors Club, or simply of the Club ? And whyd

after having announced the fine arts as your principal subject, you have dealt I more in literary subjects; and how far the publication of the ARTIST is con

cerned in this matter? Speaking of the Artist, I should tell you, that I originally intended to have applied my art to the detection of the writers in that paper. But as they announced at first, and have continued to announce, that "each essay will have the signature of its author,” I thought that, after much labour, I should have no merit in the discovery; as the editor would have informed the public, that each essay had really the signature of the author, but that my weak eyes could not perceive it.

T. S.

My correspondent's suggestion of the adoption of the name of CLUB is deserving of consideration; and his conjecture, with regard to some variation which has taken place in the selection of subjects for the Director, is correct and jusť. I consider the Artist as a publication, which may be of great use in this coun try, and I trust that it will not be given up.

If Trismegistus had possessed as much of personal acquaintance, as he does of occult science, the initials affixed to the different papers in the Artist would have supplied, without conjuration, the names of the authors and he would have found among the contributors, men of the first eminence, in the different walks ofert and literature. He would have found the compositions of two of our most successful dramatists; of six of the most distinguished members of the Royal Academy; of a gentleman to whom the Director is indebted for several communications, and of a philosopher whose researches have added to the treasures of science in modern Europe. A work like THE ARTIST, will always be wanted in this country, to vindicate the pretensions of the liberal arts, to direct and purify the national taste,-to impress the public mind with respect for the GRAPHIC MUSE, and for her intellectual and exalted powers, and at the same time to teach her votary to reverence himself, and to look to superior excellence and

lasting glory, as the great objects of attaiments infusing into him a portion of that divine spirit, which produced in antieht Greece the highest perfection of artesandt habituated the aspiring genius, haveteive wbaltly as a meaner and inferior tribute, land to desire praise, and praise alone. adlow teftib ed ai sogenume edt bauot oved blow sHeruterul bas - two to ow to zaorizoqmoo -uitzib teom sɗt to xa to petitsmsıb lut ¡ymebsɔA [syod edt to eredmem bedeing Totus adt modw of smultasy s to 2noit somvamo?
