Légende

Young England, by G. Halse, 1870. 'This marble statuette, by Mr. Halse, in the Royal Academy Exhibition, will doubtless find many admirers among at least the homelier class of visitors. A little boy in knickerbockers, laying his cricket bat aside for awhile, only to pore with pleased expression over his book, is, we believe, an ideal of "Young England" which will find acceptance with both intellectually and muscularly inclined Christians. No further comment is therefore needed beyond quoting the lines which the sculptor has appended to the title in the catalogue: "Not prone to pastime at the cost of mind, Nor studious at the cost of foot and hand, Fit hours he gives alike to thew and thought, In healthful alternation wisely planned".' From "Illustrated London News", 1870.
