Text Appearing Before Image:
aring birds, the placid mothersin their sunbonnets, the old beehive-maker, the romanticmillers boy, the girl handing straw to the thatcher,—these we shall see no more. The diary continues its record of work day by day:— January 9th.—Rose at 6. W.P.B. Painted at smallsketch of the Orphans. Made sketch of interior of cottage.To Luccombe, but on the way met with a girl keepingbirds, so capital that I stopped at once, drew her until4. Home. Dined 7. Prayer meeting for Missionaries,America, Jews, Religious liberty in Europe and East, andthe destruction of all anti-Christian error. Had elderberrywine at Mr. Browns—resolved to take no more. Decidedto paint Hide a stick in a little hole.: Copies of the Pilgrims Progress woodcuts were sentto Charles Kingsley, whose advice had been so helpful tothe artist, and were acknowledged as follows:— EVEKSLEY RECTOEY, WlNCHFIELD,Jamiary 11th, 1862.

With strong individuality, andvaried imagination, here is real beauty of form, withoutwhich I care for nothing. It seems to me that you areabout to become one of the first designers in Europe, andI trust that you will spare no time or pains to make your-self such. I think the period which you have fixed isquite the right one. It may be a little late, but it is theSiecle Louis XIV., which endured through Cromwellstime also. It is the world against which Bunyan andGeorge Fox testified. I hope to see and hear more of you.You must come down and see me here in the course of theSpring or Summer.—Yours faithfully, C. Kingsley. What Mr. Ruskin says, alluded to in Kingsleysnext letter, possibly refers to some theory expressed in hisbooks, and not necessarily to any advice given to FredericShields personally, for though all Ruskins letters appearto have been preserved, there are none between that
