Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art Treasures of the United Kingdom From the Art Treasures Exhibition, Manchester From the time when the nee-christians in their holy zeal commenced the destruction, as far as practicable, of the monuments of Pagan Art, down to within the last few centuries, the ruin or neglect of works of antiquity has been ever going on. It would be no uninteresting task to trace the various causes which led to the revival of antique Science, Art, and Literature, during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries in Italy, by means of which a deep appreciation and love for antiquity was spread and nourished in the most powerful states, and amongst the greatest intellects of modern times. In England, however, with which we have especially to deal, it was not till the seventeenth century that this newly planted feeling bore fruit; even then, the principal collectors - royalty itself, and noblemen - employed people of education to select subjects for their galleries and museums and the treasures then obtained were valued almost entirely for their excellence as Works of Art with but little feeling, and less knowledge, of their importance as illustrating the life and intellect of past epochs of human existence. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the desire of such knowledge gradually increased, and Archaeology began to assume the form and method of a science, which threw its light, dim indeed and yet uncertain, not only on the long past days of ancient Greece and Rome, but on the yet more remote gloom of Egypt, and the cavernous obscurity of early European life: after a certain period of probation, the contempt with which such studies were regarded by the world generally passed away; and at the close of the eighteenth century, and still more after the commencement of the nineteenth, the Dryasdusts became recognized as a body of students whose researches were calculated to be of the highest importance, not to Art only, but for the general advancement and certitude of all historic knowledge. At present, this is peculiarly the case; for we live at a time when there is an almost universal desire to preserve whatever may tend to elucidate the entire history of the human race.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Art Treasures of the United Kingdom: Collected at Manchester in 1857 The Greeks, who had in classic times produced such noble. Works as the sculptures. Of the Parthenon, the Niobe, the Laocoon, and the paintings of Polygnotus and Apelles, were about Ad). 1000 reduced to a miserable state of artistic incapacity. Nor were the Romans any better they who had in former times plundered and collected Art without ever having been able to produce it, seemed at this period also to have lost all interest in it, except where it ministered to the vanity and glory of their rulers. The Church, alone, seemed to employ Art for its own sake and in this way many traditional representations have been preserved. Two other nations deserve notice whilst considering the state of Art at this period, since, although called barbaric, and at no period remarkably elevated, they never sunk so low as the two celebrated races first mentioned, but they exercised a considerable in uence on the weakened state of Art in other countries.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical, Descriptive, and Biographical Handbook to the Exhibition of the United Kingdom's Art Treasures, at Manchester, 1857 In the early part of 1856, several of the influential mer chants and manufacturers of Manchester, most of whom had visited the Paris Exhibition in the preceding summer, as well as the Dublin Exhibition in 1853, were, 'in their admiration of the fine arts, forcibly impressed with a remark made by Dr. Vvaagen, in his valuable work, to 33the effect that there were, in the aggregate, art treasures within the United King dom of even greater interest than those contained in [the collections upon the Continent. Mr. J. O. Deane, .tl1e com missioner of the Dublin Exhibition, who had acquired a large amount of information respecting the contents Of the nume rous galleries, printed, for private distribution, some sugges tions, to the effect that Manchester would be a suitable locality for an exhibition of art treasures. This led to some conver sation upon the subject, in the first instance, we believe, amongst a party of gentlemen assembled at the residence of his worship the Mayor. Finding that their views were ac cordant, the matter was more generally canvassed; and although some supposed that no active steps would be taken, others became more interested, and it was-thought desirable that a preliminary meeting should be held. The Mayor accordingly issued a circular, and presided at a meeting con vened in his parlour, within the Town Hall, on the 26th of March, 1850. A general conversatio'n took place, particularly. In reference to the probability Or otherwise of the art trea sures which might be desired being obtainable for the pure pose of such an exhibition - what should be the extent of the building for such an Object, and its cost - what return might be reasonably anticipated, 850. There was some little dith culty, lest it might interfere with a projected exhibition, already decided upon, in connection with the Manchester Mechanics' Institution. This obstacle was disposed of by a determination to hold the latter first; and it was successfully terminated on the l6th March last. The president, e. Oliver Heywood, .at a-conversazione given. In the lecture hall on the following evening, stated that the Exhibition had, during 169. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
