The antique schools date from the dawn of civilization to the end of the tenth cents; the med iæval schools date from the tenth to the fifteenth cent.; and the modern schools have continued the traditions of the masters of art to the present times. The works of the various authors are respectively known by the names of their actual schools, and are called antique , med iæval , or modern , as they belong either to the one or the other of them.

A pecuniary mulct or punishment imposed by a competent jurisdiction, and was so called because it was said finem facere de transgre i one - to make an end of the transgre ion. The statute law has seldom determined the amount of fines to be inflicted for particular offences, and the common law never. They vary according to the aggravation or otherwise of the offence, the quality and condition of the parties, and numerous other circumstances. This power, however, which is in the hands of the court, is far from being wholly arbitrary; for the Constitution of the U. States directs that "exce ive bail shall not be required, nor exce ive fines imposed, nor cruel or unusual punishment inflicted." It is not usual to inflict a larger fine than a man is able to pay without touching the implements of his livelihood; but instead thereof, to inflict a limited imprisonment. ( Eng . Law.)

This term is generally applied to those arts in which the artist seeks chiefly to give pleasure by the immediate impre ion produced on the mind by his work. These arts are thus distinguished from arts which are designed to answer some practical purpose, and so have been termed useful . By some, the term fine arts, which is generally taken to include those which appeal to the eye and ear alike, has been limited to the arts of painting , sculpture , and architecture . - Antique art. In its general acceptation, the term A. A. is understood to be that of a period antecedent to the revival of the cla ical studies in Western Europe, or before the risorgimento , or renai ance , of the arts from their a umed period of lethargy. There was, in fact, a distinct character about the productions of the artists of the more ancient and the more modern times, which was sufficiently marked to produce in the best of them a separate style of art, and which has led to the establishment of the schools of the so-called antique and modern styles; the med iæval arts form, as it were, an intermediate cla , which was as distinctly marked as any of the other styles. The antique school was distinguished by an anthropomorphism and a divination of the human la es or other saccharine matter.
