THE END. J. M'Creery, Tooks Court, Chancery-lane, London. Critical Opinions on LANZI'S HISTORY OF PAINTING IN ITALY, TRANSLATED BY THOMAS ROSCOE. FROM THE EDINBURGH REVIEW. "When we consider the number of painters, the great quantity of historical matter, the numerous anecdotes, the solid and sensible criticism, and the vast mass of valuable information, and especially the astonishing variety of original and striking ideas, that are expressed in a brief, terse style, in six volumes, we are surprised at the comprehensive shortness of THIS HIGHLY ESTIMABLE WORK. We are delighted to find much of the ancient simplicity in the ELEGANT AND CLASSICAL STYLE OF THESE GOLDEN PAGES, from which, more than from any other book, and perhaps as much as it can be derived from books, we are able to attain an idea of the wonderful genius of the Italians for the Fine Arts. IT IS WELL ADAPTED TO FORM THE TASTE CORRECTLY; AND IS A FAITHFUL GUIDE TO TRAVELLERS, many of whom, having examined the works upon which Lanzi delivers his opinion, with his review in their hands, have bestowed upon him this expressive, strong, and hearty panegyric, 'HE IS A FINE FELLOW.' "Mr. Roscoe deserves and will receive the thanks of all lovers of the Fine Arts, for his valuable contribution towards the advancement of objects which they have much at heart, and which may be considered of high importance. He has here afforded his countrymen another opportunity to acquire some knowledge of the Fine Arts, and of their history, which assists the mind in reflecting upon the productions of the great masters; teaches us to admire them upon sound principles, and redoubles the pleasure of contemplating them; and so shews the truth of the ancient saying, that the most wise are the most happy. THIS KNOWLEDGE, MOREOVER, FORMS, IN THE PRESENT DAY, A NECESSARY PART OF POLITE EDUCATION." FROM THE LITERARY GAZETTE.
