Three remarkable paintings of the late John Martin have been ^ drawing vast crowds to the Hall of Commerce , 52 , Threadneedle-Street ; they are entitled " The Day of Judgment ;" . " The Plains of Heaven ; " and " The Great Day of His Wrath ; " and are valued at 8 , 000 guineas .
If ever paintings possessed a moral , they are these , and their execution is worthy the fame of that mighty son of genius , whose spirit conceived and whose hand delineated their remarkable idealities ;—
€ C Whoever may view these pictures cannot but be struck with the lofty aspirations of this gifted and talented man , for whilst they present the most extraordinary conceptions of the portions of Holy Writ which they are intended to represent , they abound with imageries of poetic fancy , the most beautiful that can be imagined . ,,
They should be studied by artists for their scenic grandeur and talented workmanship , and by all who desire to benefit by the lessons and warnings they teach . It may with truth be said of these pictures , that never was the intention of the painter more clearly shown in his endeavours to assist the preacher in his sacred mission .
" I have ever felt it my duty , " said the late Earl of Durham , on a public occasion , <( to support and encourage the principles and practice of Freemasonry , because it powerfully develops all social and benevolent affections ; because it mitigates without , and annihilates within , the virulence of political and theological controversy ; because it affords the only neutral ground on which all ranks and classes can meet in perfect equality , and associate without degradation or mortification , whether for purposes of moral instruction or social intercourse .
