Tis the 'Public Always Wrong?
London Morning. Post ('Cons,) :.The
chief count 'in the indictment of the
critie against the public is that it is
irrespousive to the highest arta Is
that true? Allowance meet be made
for limitations. IL wouldbe.' unfair,
for instance, to reproach the public'
for not appreciating a Greek tragedy
pertortnecl in the original Greek and
according to the conventions of the
Greek theatre. • It is the unfamiliarity
of- tiie' form that is 'more often- than
not responsible for what seems to be
Public insensibility; or it is the failure
of the good to attain the truly great.
Be it remembered It teonly genius
that knows how to speak in accents
that touch the universal heart.
