[19] A thoughtful writer in _The Spectator_, 3 September, 1887, notes the absence of representations of childhood in ancient art and literature, and the following number of the journal contains a note of protest from Mr. Alfred Austin, in which he says pertinently: “Is it not the foible of modern art, if I may use a homely expression, to make a fuss over what it feels, or wants others to feel, whereas an older and a nobler art, which is by no means extinct among us, prefers to indicate emotion rather than to dwell on it?” [20] See an interesting statement of this Biblical force in the preface to Matthew Arnold’s _The Great Prophecy of Israel’s Restoration_, London, 1872.
