The article presents information on multiplied art. It has seemed to the best and wisest of those who in the times have given thought to the fine arts, that multiplied and popular art is of as much importance to the world as art of any description whatever. They have felt the imperfection of such art as it commonly exists and have seen the difficulties in the way of its improvement; but they have also felt its capacity and seen its power to be very useful. They have, therefore, seen clearly and kit strongly the need of great improvement in this department. Their efforts have been directed towards such improvement and not in vain. In no respect is the recent advance of the fine arts more marked than in this improvement in its cheaper and more accessible forms.
