England and America have much to learn from him--the value of long,
careful, and unremitting study; the advantage of being thoroughly
familiar with the scenes and types of character depicted; the charm of
an almost unequaled simplicity and directness. He possessed the rare
gift of being able to envelop every topic that he touched with an
atmosphere of elegance and distinction. His productions are not
ephemeral, but are of the kind that will endure.
