This ts bad enough of Itself; but, if the statue is to be at allin keeping with its recently built base, we have reason to apprehend something worse than the mere repetition of an unfortunate idea. The public will await with curiosity, if not with awe, the work of art for which this structure is deemed a suitable beginning. It should cer- tainly be unique in its simplicity, and the few small stones forming the base (which two or three men put in place in about half a day, with- out the aid of any machinery except a crow-bar) are evidently not designed for any “heroic burden. Beyond these obvious conclusions even Soniectare cannot find its way. It has been said of some of these monuments that the masonry is their most effective and im- posing feature; but if such a criticism can justly be passed upon the Dupont memorial when it is ayeted, what an imposition the statue itself will be.
