Excerpt from Mrs. Leicester's School C, Vol. 2 of 12

The Reynolds Gallery has, upon the Whole, disappointed me. Some of the portraits are interesting. They are faces of characters whom we (middle-aged gentlemen) were born a little too late to remember, but about whom we have heard our fathers tell stories till we almost fancy to have seen them. There is a charm in the portrait of a Rodney or a Keppel, which even a picture of Nelson must want for me. I should turn away after a slight inspection from the best likeness that could be made of Mrs. Anne Clarke; but Kitty Fisher is a considerable personage. Then the dresses of some of the women so exactly remind us of modes which we can just recall; of the forms under which the venerable relationships of aunt or mother first presented themselves to our young eyes; the aprons, the coifs, the lappets, the hoods. Mercy on us I what a load of head ornaments seem to have conspired to bury a pretty face in the picture of Mrs. Long, yet could not! Reality must have some "charmed life" to have been able to surmount the conspiracy of fashion in those days to destroy it.

The portraits which least pleased me were those of boys as infant Bacchuses, Jupiters, etc. Rut the artist is not to be blamed for the disguise. No doubt the parents wished to sec their children deified in their lifetime.

В своих очерках Лэм отвергает трюизмы господствующей морали и утверждает естественную нравственность доброты, радушия и терпимости. Взаимная поддержка, дружеское общение, радость и веселье, верность старым национальным праздникам и обычаям, а в то же время - право на самобытность, на выражение собственной личности вопреки косности и ханжеству господствующих нравственных норм - вот что хочет он внушить своим читателям.
