To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
lb is the very elaborate pretension of scenery that betrays its poverty. Again, as Lamb hints in a short but very pregnant passage, it is assumed from the effect which obtains in painting, that when the latter is transported to the stage the same result will follow. But he says truly, ' painting is a world in itself,' i.e. complete within the four corners of the frame. There is no attempt to deceive, and we are not invited to assume we are looking at a substitute, for say, real trees and houses.... But on the ■ stage, as Lamb says,"\ 'there is the discordancy never to be got over ' between painted scenes and real people;' and he might have added that greater discordancy between the real boards or ground, that almost fixed area so many feet wide, and the vast painted distances : for, by retiring ' up,' hills are brought to the same height or level as a pillar, which should be three times the actor's height ; or one may be standing beside a column whose shading only represents its circular form, which the actor's own solidity renders more feeble of effect.* , ' * This has been fully insisted on by Mr Parker, who, in his late work on the Nature of the Fine Arts, shows ingeniously how false to art is the mere imitation, so as to deceive, of ordinary objects, for that in painting this ' third dimension ' of relief is not required.
