'Mr. Goodwin's mannerisms are rather exceptionally pronounced this year, and among six or seven works, beautiful as they all are, there is nothing quite as good as the “Salisbury” of a year or two ago. He has however, a fine "Siena", and for his principal work, a highly poetical “Pompeii by Moonlight'
