Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, No. 432 - Volume 17, New Series, April 10, 1852

THE MEDIVAL MANIA. A LEGEND OF AMEN-CORNER. DUST-SHOWERS AND RED-RAIN. THE CITY INQUEST FOR THE POOR. OCCASIONAL NOTES. SURVEYING VOYAGE OF THE RATTLESNAKE. A CELEBRATED FRENCH CLOCKMAKER. SAINT ELIZABETH OF BOHEMIA. A MAN-OF-WAR, OR A MAN OF PEACE. NOTE TO INTENDING EMIGRANTS. THE EMIGRANT'S MANUAL. History is said to be a series of reactions. Society, like a pendulum, first drives one way, and then swings back in the opposite direction. At present, we may be said to be returning at full speed towards a taste for everything old, neglected, and for ages despised. Science and refinement have had their day, and now rude nature and the elemental are to be in the ascendant. In our boyhood, we learned the Roman alphabet; but youngsters now had need to add a knowledge of black-letter, which is rapidly getting back into fashion. Perfection is only to be found in the darkness and ignorance of the middle ages. It is proper, no doubt, to get rid of what is tame and spiritless in art; and it must be owned that nearly everything that was done in architecture and decoration during the Georgian era was detestable. But it is one thing to reform, and another to revolutionise. Let us by all means go to nature for instruction; but nature under the exercise of cultivated feelingselecting what tends to ennoble and refine, not that which degrades and sends us back to forms and ideas totally out of place in the nineteenth century, and which, for that very reason, can have nothing but a temporary reign, to be followed in the succeeding age by a violent reaction. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
