E Kneelaml.Mr. H. Kneeland, now a respectable artist in N.York* w»a for several years an ingenious cabinetmaker in this village. He was fond of the nice andfanciful parts of his trade, especially carving, inwhich he exhibited great skill. This was but theyearning of the hidden faculty, the struggle of themysterious power within, which is now so hsndsome. ljr exhibiting itself in the noble field of sculpture.— The friends of Mr. K. will be gratified to read the following notice of one of the productions of his chis. el, which we extract from that severe, but, we be. lieve, fair and able critical paper, the BroadwayJournal, in its noticu of the present exhibition of theNational Academy.11 Bust of J. J. Mopes. By H. Kneeland. It ia tothe disadvantage of this excellent bust that it is theonly one in the exhibition, for it ii so true to nature,so finely and purely modeled that it requires to beseen by the side of ordinary works to make its snperi-ority apparent. It ia admirably chiseled, and makesthe nearest approach to the perfection of Power’sbusts of aoy that we have seen in any previoua exhibition.”
