Old Times in the Colonies (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Times in the Colonies Mrs. Jameson partly classifies the paintings. And what kingly artists have essayed the saintly theme! A history of modern painting could almost be constructed out of it. I am not con cerned with this just now, however; and I pass on to her view of the ducks and geese to which, as Mr. Coffin reminds us, St. Francis was so fanatical as to sermonize.
