WHY NOT A FLAXMAN EXHIBITION?
(To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR.") SIR,—I read with much interest the article by "Ignotus " under the above heading in your issue of last Saturday. Any- thing that would help to revive the fame of Flaxman in the Public mind would, it seems to me, be a wise and desirable undertaking, for it would not only be drawing attention to a supreme artist, but might incidentally pave the way for a wider knowledge and better appreciation of sculpture in this country than at present obtains. One of whom Gotzenberger said he was one of the three men of genius he had met in this country, and whom Blake called "The Sculptor of Eternity," should not be allowed to be forgotten, as, except for the few, lie seems in danger of being. As the writer of a book on the British sculptors, I very heartily endorse the suggestion made
by "Ignotus."—I am, Sir, tic., E. &enroll]) Cussiczusta.
