Wednesday 13th.--The Tuppers came to Gabriel’s study to have a talk about our next No. In the first place it was decided, after a good deal of discussion, to change the name of the magazine, and Aleck Tupper suggested _Art and Poetry, being Thoughts towards Nature_, as a title. This we all think better than _The Artist_, and it was accordingly adopted. Brown expressed some apprehension that he might fail in getting his etching ready; and proposed that Gabriel, Woolner, and Hancock, should each set about one, and that whichever is finished in time should come into this No. Gabriel will take as his subject the painting by Chiaro of his own soul, from the _Hand and Soul_ which appears in No. 1.: of this he had thought before as a frontispiece to the volume--if one ever were to be completed. Some poems were read over, among them John Tupper’s “Sixteen Specials”;[222] to which I still object, as being too jocular and technical in style. Hunt is getting quite confident about finishing his picture, and even in very comfortable time.... Thursday 14th.--Gabriel having to think about his etching, the task of writing a poem illustrative of Brown’s design has been transferred to me.... Wednesday 20th.--Orchard sent Gabriel a second portion of his first _Dialogue on Art_, treating herein chiefly of early Christian (or, as he terms it, Pre-Raphael) Art, and seeming to out-P.R. the P.R.B. The word is impolitic, and must be altered. Tupper gave me the first proofs of No. 3.... He has written out also a new prospectus, which he gave me to consider.
