destroyed,but the schemewas ultimately abandoned.
Reside the rebuilding of its chapel and other parts,
Trinity College has been considerably enlarged
toward the south by the inclusion of the cottages
ln the foreground of Mr. New’s picture and Kettell
BtaU (purchased from Oriel College) at the south-
east.
The Towers of Oxford as the title indicates, is
a view taken from the top of Magdalen Tower.
B belongs, therefore, not quite to the same category
as '•be prospects taken from an imaginary altitude,
bhe middle of the picture is occupied by the New
Schools, from Sir T. G. Jackson’s design, selected,
f° lt; bas always been understood, not for external
eauty but on account of the internal convenience of
1 e planning. The view of the High Street, looking
westwards is a very favourite one and shows the
toam thoroughfare of the city, with the graceful
Curve which is justly and universally admired,
tra' r0tTl ^x^or<^ '0 Florence is a far cry ; and yet the
n of thought which connects the two several
j ’s no novelty. For has not Cecil Headlam
xtord and its Story,” 1904, described Head-
ington Hill,which overlooks the University city, as
“ the Fiesole of Oxford ” ? In some sort, too, the
sweep of the Arno suggests an analogy with the
High Street of Oxford. In Mr. New’s view of
Florence, a number of little key sketches in the
lower margin serves to identify the various buildings
depicted in the panorama above. This particular
view is a new departure, but welcome as it is, one
may venture to hope that Mr. New will not be
tempted to abandon for other enterprises the
“ New Loggan” series of Oxford views which no one
else is so well qualified as himself to produce.
Aymer Vallance.
[Mr. New’s Oxford series also includes Brasenose
and Wadham. All these drawings as well as the
Florence, have been engraved under his super-
vision on the same scale as the originals, which
with the exception of The Towers of Oxfo7-d and
Florence, the dimensions of which are by 21
inches, measure approximately 13 by 16 inches,
and the engravings are published by the artist
himself at 17 Worcester Place, Oxford.]
