[Illustration: COMMUNICATIONS] [The editors cannot pay attention to demands of correspondents who forget to give their names and addresses as guaranty of good faith; nor do they hold themselves responsible for opinions expressed by their correspondents.] BARYE'S ADMIRER. TO THE EDITORS OF THE AMERICAN ARCHITECT:-- Dear Sirs,--I have just seen a letter from "Anglo-American" in your issue of December 14, in which he calls for the name of the English artist who said concerning the French sculptor, Barye: "Had he been born in Great Britain, we would have had a group by Barye in every square in London." Théophile Silvestre reports this remark as if uttered in his presence. Your correspondent takes the remark perhaps too literally, when it merely meant to express admiration through a slight exaggeration. Herbert would have been content to see a few squares only decorated with groups by an English equivalent of Barye, had one existed. As to the assertion by "Anglo-American" that Alfred Stevens was "an artist not inferior to Barye" it will be shared by few who have studied the works of the great French sculptor of animals and men. "Anglo-American" is right in saying that my short paper in Harper's Weekly errs in giving two bronze groups after Barye to Mount Vernon Square, Baltimore, instead of four. Were I a resident of that city, I could hardly have known this better, and how the error got there puzzles me. Certainly had I been permitted to see a proof of that paper the mistake would have been corrected, unimportant as it is, so far as Barye is concerned. I must compliment your correspondent on the quickness of eye that detected the slip and regret that the proof-reader of Harper's Weekly did not know his Baltimore to the same degree. But he is himself in error when he speaks of the "Life and Works of Antoine Louis Barye," written by me and published by the Barye Monument Association as a catalogue. The catalogue is quite another thing from the édition deluxe, which is the only edition of the "Life." CHARLES DE KAY.
