The article focuses on the famous Burlington House institution, which is a Royal Academy. The principal place in the chief room is occupied by a command picture of the coronation. It contains scores of portraits, executed with photographic exactness, but except for the royal personages themselves, a few bishops, and two or three generals, there is scarcely any one to whose features an ordinarily well-informed person could attach a name. In historical pictures generally this year's Academy is singularly lacking. Scarcely any painter has found inspiration in the life of ancient times, or even in early legends.
