These terms are now so frequently used in reference to periods and works of art, that it would be useful to your readers if some competent person would define precisely what period is comprehended in the term mediÆval. In a recent Exhibition many works of a comparatively late date were classed as mediÆval. Mr. James, speaking of Charlemagne, says—"the precise birth-place of the greatest man of the middle ages is unknown." Here he refers to the year 742. Some of the correspondents will, perhaps, through your "Notes Current," define the limits of this term. S. E.
