The north bank of the Thames is seen, looking eastward, from about the position of the middle of the present Waterloo bridge. On the extreme left is old Somerset House, with its landing-stairs, next comes the Temple, and in the distance St. Paul's. Behind are seen the spires of St. Mary-le-Strand, St. Clement Danes, St. Bride's, Fleet Street, etc. On canvas, 2 ft. high, by 3 ft. 8 in. wide. 23 View on the Thames--The Savoy, the Temple, &c. (_1031_) . . . . . JAMES. On the left is the old Savoy Palace with its curious chequered brickwork; more in the middle old Somerset House, the Temple, etc. On the right is seen a portion of the south bank of the Thames. 24 View on the Thames--Old Fleet Ditch (_1043_) . . . . . JAMES. The mouth of the Fleet Ditch is in the centre of the picture, crossed by a stone foot-bridge of a single arch. On both sides of it are large buildings. 25 View on the Thames--The Adelphi, Whitehall, and Westminster (_1032_) . . . . . JAMES. The view is of the north bank looking westward, and shows, on the right, Inigo Jones' water-gate; next the octagonal tower of the waterworks, then Whitehall, and beyond, Westminster Abbey and the old bridge. 26 View on the Thames--Greenwich Hospital (_1079_) . . . . . JAMES. The view is taken eastward, and shows Greenwich Hospital on the left, and the church to the right. 27 View on the Thames--Old Savoy Palace (_1045_) . . . . . SCOTT? The view is the same as No. 23. In an old inventory there is an entry relating to it:--"Rec^{d}. 23^{rd} March 1819. View of the Savoy, with old Somerset House, on the banks of the Thames, painted by Scott, the English Canaletti. Bought of Colnaghi, £265." Samuel Scott, the marine painter, is the artist referred to. He was a companion of Hogarth's, and a jovial one too--but he was also much more, being an admirable painter of marine and topographical subjects. There are three characteristic views of London by him in the National Gallery, where is also his own portrait by Hudson. 28 The Thames from the Hill above Greenwich (_1016_) . . . . . DANCKERS. To the left is the Observatory rising high up. Below is Greenwich and the Hospital, and the river winding round the "Isle of Dogs," and London seen in the distance. Though hitherto unnamed, this is doubtless:--"The Landscape of Greenwich, the prospect to London; by Danckers," in James II.'s catalogue, No. 195.
