THE BRAZEN IMAGE.
To the Editor ov tub " Evenikg Mail." Sir,— The remarks in a paragraph of your contemporary this morning with the above heading" are not particularly accurate^ seeing the Memorial is not an image, neither is there any braes about it. The remarks, however, reminded me of the following short paragraph from Archbishop Whately's works, ' ; There is much truth, (he says) therefore, in the Scotch proverb that 'children and fools should never see half finished works.' They not only cannot guess what the whole will be when complete, but are apt to presume to form a judgment without being aware of their own ignorance." If your readers will suspend their judgment till Saturday afternoon, they will probably witness what they will allow to have been one of the mo3t impressive Bights yet witnessed in Nelson. Yours, #0., A MBMQBUMBT,
