Miscellaneous.
Buskin says '. " Never buy a copy of a picture. All copies are bad, because no painter who is worth a straw ever will copy. He will make a study of a picture he likes for hi<3 own use in hie own way ; but he won't and can't copy ; and whenever you buy a copy you buy so much misunderstanding of the original, and encourage a dull person in following a business he Is not fit for, besides increasing ultimately chances of mistakea and imposturp. You may, in fact, consider yourself as having purchased a certain quantity of mistakes, and, according to your power, being engaged in disseminating them."
