Various
Popular literature -- Great Britain -- Periodicals
64. The adjourned Debate. _T. Clater._ A cobbler, despite the ancient
saw, _ne sutor ultra crepidam_, intently devouring the "folio of four
pages."
67. The Sisters. _John Wood._ One of the painter's most successful
productions, and deservedly so.
74. Diana and Actaeon. Another of _Wilson's_ classic compositions of
captivating loveliness, proving the painter, as Mr. Cunningham
observes, to have wrought under historical and poetic influence.
80. Portrait of the late James Perry, Esq. _Lawrence._ The likeness is
striking, and the colouring that of a master hand. The "head and
front" bear intellectuality in an eminent degree.
82. Henry III. of France. _Bonington._ One of the lamented artist's
most celebrated pictures. The personal elegance of the sovereign, and
the luxurious details of the scene are in fine keeping with the
minuteness of history in these matters.
89. The Trial Scene in the Merchant of Venice. _Zoffani._ With
Macklin,
--The Jew
That Shakspeare drew;
his daughter as Portia, in the habiliaments of "the learned lawyer;"
Clark, Bensley, &c.
100. Portrait of Bishop Hoadley. _Hogarth._
102. Banks of the Tiber. _Wilson._
118 and 187. Portraits of the Princesses Sophia and Mary, when
children.
125. Battle of Cressy. _West._
137--138--151. Captain Macheath--the Grave-diggers--and the Ghost
Scene in Hamlet--all gems in their way, by _Liverseege_, of
Manchester; they are full of point, and so rich in promise of future
excellence as to add to our regret for the premature death of the
artist.
134. The First Study for the Niobe Landscape. _Wilson._ Peculiarly
interesting to artists.
_To be continued._
