The Sixth Outline, in its kind, is a very striking and masterly
performance : unlike those that precede and those that follow,
it has nothing tender, nothing touching, nothing graceful about
it ; all is terror,unmixed even with pity. Mr. Retseh has here
displayed the variety of his powers, and the force with which he
can pourtray the fiercer passions, and the human frame in i
taste of the utmost exertion. The two men who received the
order from their Lord are here thrusting the huntsman Robert
into the furnace. We may perhaps be hypercritical, but it
seems to us that the lower part of the figure of the huntsman is
deficient in energy ; he is making no use of his legs in the life-struggle with his antagonists, though their iron grasp would
certainly be sufficient to prevent his moving them with any
effect.
