MARTIN'S SPECIMEN of LITHOGRAPHY, de signed to illustrate the capabilities of this useful Art, is just published, at tee, High Holborn, price ss. In allusion to the above highly-finished Specimen of the Lithogra phic Art, the following commendations bays appeared in the under mentioned papers : larzooluenr.—Lithography, or the art of producing numerous impressions', from delineations, either made upon stone or transferred to its surface from paper, though entirely of modern invention, has, in a few years, attained a degree of perfection little contemplated by its , inventor, Senefelder, an ingenious German, whose perseverance him- i taring the first crude suggestions of kis mlnd, in defiance of an the ob stacks thrown in his way by poverty and want of encouragement, af- , fords one of the most striking examples on record, of the indefatigable ; exertions by which genius sometimes succeeds in emerging from ob 'cults!. Of the difficulties encountered by Satefelder, in Winging his , invention before the public, some idea maybe framed from the fact, that soon after his first imperfect experiments, he actually dieted him self to serve in the army as a substitute for a friend, in order that he , might apply the two bemired florins he expected to receive to the pur chase of the necessary menses; sad hie disappointment was extreme , on finding that his services were because he was not a native of Nuns. Having, however, at length obtained the patronage and assistance which his taints merited; his invendon became ,pretty generally known and appreciated, and he published a work, in which he gave a minute explanation of the art of lithography, and of the various insproventeme which be had introduced, up to the peeled, when be wrote his treatise.—This work was transited Into English, and published by Mr.Ackennann, in 1818, since ithich time the art has been very successfully cultivated, both on the Continent and in England ; and its employment, instead of being limited to the imita tion of etchings, chalk drawings, autographs, le.c. has been extended to every subject which has hitherto elicited the finest productions of the graver. These remarks have been suggested by a highly beau tiful specimen of Lithography, which has just issued from the press of Mr. R. Martin, of High ,Holborn, and which, in the variety of subjects it exhibits, and the exquisite finish of the performance, cer tainly surpasses any Lithographic effort which had previously fallen under our notice. It represents a number of framed pictures, frag ments of columns, and 'numerous other objects, very tastefully ar ranged, and allowing the artist an opportunity of showing the ap plicability of Lithography to the ptoduction of every effect for which engraving is employed. In the specimen before us there are intro duced landscape scenery, portraits, architectural remains, oriental an tiquities, antient armour, fruits , and a variety of objects connected with anatomy, soology,•the delineation of maps and plans, sculpture, &e; the whole of which are executed, even to the mi nutest de tails, with a degree of delicacy and beauty which the finest steel engraving could scarcely surpass. The examination of this specimen of the perfection to which the art of Lithography has bun brought bu afforded us much pleasure, and we are merely performing an act of justice in bearing tes timony to its me rits, and in wishing the artist all the success to which his skill entitles him."—Morning Advertiser. 1 " lintoosanstr.— It is said, with great truth, by Mr. lisbbage, that the first discoverer of an abstract physical fact seldom receives any reward for hie discovery. however important may be its results ; nor even often does he who is ingenious enough first to apply the new fact to a useful practical purpose, receive from society his due share of reward. On the contrary, the philosopher who, in his laboratory or study points out an abstract principle, has :lied often without his merit being known ; aqd not only so, but its general the first man who has the penetration or good fortune to perceive its practical importance, and to make the attempt to bring its utility into notice, has very often done so to the ruin of his own fortune. We could easily illustrate this remark, but cannot spare space at present. It has been suggested to us, by reflecting upon the history of Lithography. This art, it is well known , was invented a few years ago, by a German of the name of Senefelder, who merely applied in practice a chemical fact, which bad been always universally Itiown to all mankind, namely—that oil and water wiU not unite. We are ignorant whether Senefelder reaped, er is reaping, the fruits of his application ; but we perceiveovesy day the importance of his discovery. Only a few weeks ago, we were favoured with a sight of a folio volume li thographed by the M= natives of Bombay, is the P. character the instruction of an amiable and enlightened Mow in the East India Company's Service. Thus, the an of lithography. In same degree, supplies the use of typography. The constant application of this an in its more humble form, to extend the uses of caligraphy, is daily, hourly, be fore the eyes of the public ; while ao person of taste for the arts can be a stranger to the many beautiful specimens of this useful art. which have lately been produced by the artists of both France and England. All that which has yet been accomplished in this new art—and we have seen much to admire- As now far surpassed by an artist in this metropolis, who has proved that Lithography can produce an effect ustqualled by any branch of engraving. A print bad been published by Mr. R. Martin, of 124, High Holborn, with a copy of which we have been favoured ; and as we think it a curiosity in the arts, we should not feel ourselves justified were we not to direct public attention to it. In a space of 10 inches by 8, the artist hes, with much ingenuity, in troduced spe ci mens of almost &lithe kinds of delineation to which Litho graphy can be applied. The print contains a portrait, a whole length miniature, delineations of subjects in botany, anatomy, conchology, geography, armoury, statuary, caligraphy, hieroglyphics, machinery, landscapes, drapery, and Innumerable objects which cannot be classed. The execution of the whole is exquisitely dilute and distinct. There is a softness united with a minute clearness of line, which displays the beauties of steel engraving, without Its well-known faults ; and re minds us frequently of some curious specimens we once saw of pen and ink drawing. On the whole. we do not think it possible for any species of the delineative arts to unite so many peculiar qualities.-- Wheu we first saw this specimen, we could not believe tt to be ; and we took it to a friend—an artist of great taste and ability —who was equally astonished with ourselves at the production. Had it tut been from this gentleman's opinion confirming our own, we might not, perhaps, have ventured to express ourselves so strongly ; but our friend.who is an adept in the art of Lithography himself, has a,suretl us we cannot express too strongly the original merit of the artist who has produced it."-- Star. " Mr. It. Martin, of 114, High Holborn, has introduced to the notice of the public a specimen of lithographic engraving.

Lainmeaaruw.....One of the most extraordinary sad highly. finished specimens of the Lithographic art which has yet come under our observation, is a sort of ass/tinge plate, by R. Martin, who, in a print of the dimensions of tee inches by eight, has given a col lection of subjects illustrating sculpture, painting, architecture, fruit, flowers, armour, landscape. and portraits, woodland scenery, drapery, and a variety of other subjects, each preserving its own distinct character, so that it may be examined and criticised separately ; and at the same time, the grouping is so well arranged, that, if taken altogether, there does not appear to be the slighest confusion or interference of one sub ject with another. The execution is most admirable; there is a soft ness and precision in it, which makes it resemble In appearance a fine copper-plate engraving. Amongst the subjects moat deserving of no tice are the representation of an ancient loath, the head of • column of the Corinthian order, a beep of armour, together with the cross bow, sword, &c. and an antique bust, with its ornamented pedestal In short, this specimen of the Art of engraving on stone is of a d e .' scription to do the greatest credit to the artist in whose labour ft ori ginates."—Weekly Times. " Lrntotaaaray.--Among all the arts of modern invention, there is none which has so rapidly advanced to perfecto. as lithography. We have been favoured by Mr. Martin, of axe. High Holborn, with a specimen, comprising, in less than the size of a sheet of foolscap paper, really most splendid imitations of every kind of engraving, applied to every class of subjeats—rural scenery, flowers, architecture, antiqui ties, history, portraits, topography, anatomy, caUgraphy, ancient at mew, ate. he. To be appreciated. such things must be seen, and to be appreeimed justly, they mast be seen by bet ter judges than ourselves ; for some of the Imitations would impose upon as, as mat elaeaorste efforts of the burin in the hand of the most skilful artist. We know not whether the specimen plate with which we have been favoured is on sale ; if it Is, we can fairly recommend It as a ehriCwstere."—Standard. "Semmes or Lancesem.

We have had Mr. Martin's specimens in our possession for the last fort night, but we declined to notice them in the laudatory strain which our own admiration would have suggested, because we heard a surmise that the effect is beyond the power of unassisted lithogra phy. In this difficulty, we consulted with artists, some of whom pronounced the highest and most unequivocal praise upon these pro ductions, U they are genuine, by declaring, that nothing short of see ing the operation performed ;riffs their own eyes, will convince theta that these specimens base not been partly aided by steel or copper.

Comp/Wiwi 'a heirnine, end tray have been its parent ; ts.r I doubt whether cons pet* liaa fetched direct from the Latin, and I suspect it to have been mined as a verb to correspond to the noun competition, and the coiner, it he were bard pushed, knew that he could fall back on the Latin, and maintain his ground. The verb compiler occurs in French, it is true; but only as a law.term in the sense of ' belonging.' But ANGLUI misleads us, when he says that the word is not Eng. Bak because it was not used in ancient times; for compel* is as good loglith as competition, both being derived from the Latin, and neither having an English root ! Antiquity may serve to authenticate a word by supplying an example of its use, as an antique coin proves its use in a former age, and may still grace the cabinet of the curious ; but the familiar use of the verb compete in the mouths of tradesmen, manufacturers, and merchants, and within the walls of Parliament, stamps it as current coin, which may be lawfully tendered by any man, and should be refused by no man of patriotic sentiment or loyal feeling. The men of the present day enjoy the same liberty, in which our ancestors indulged, of coining words at their pleasure ; all have:an equal right to coin, learned or unlearned. But whether the word coined will be received into general use, depends on various drcumstances,—the station and influence of the coiner, the grammatical propriety of the word, and its conformableness to analogy, the want of such a term and its perfect adaptation to the idea conveyed, the love of novelty and the caprice of taste and fashion, the striking incident which gave birth to h, sad the strong hold which it takes on the public memory. Dr. WiIIITZI, therifore, has judged rightly in admitting it into his admirable Dictionary, and he gives the following account of it :.... " CONTZT IC, v. L (Lat. eowspeto, eon and petal 1. To seek or strive for the same thing as another; to carry on com• petition or rival►y : Our manufacturers compete with the English in making cotton.clothe. 2. To strive or claim to be equal: ' The sages of antiquity will not dare to earipete with the inspired authon.'—MiLwait." _ . 11. Another of the graminatiati corespondents, T. H. remarks that Amax', (doomed to bear yet another blow,) " is wrong as to the glebe, Wield; be would confine it tot its primitive signification of werthlam, vulgar,' &e. If he will look again into Joirisow, he will find that OUT hest authors hequently employ the word trivial to denote what is ' light, unimportant',—a sense which he condemns." ♦ third &patent, H. W. writes thus r.—" Arrows does not sewn yet to have had his full misrule of correction. He refers to Jonsson'. Dielkstswy far the meaning of the 'word trivial ; there it is found to import 4 woethiess, incomdderable.' I fancy that he is also incorrect in his derivation of the word hens Trish. Joawson's meaning, does not bar him out in the assertion." That rriokr, which is also Manch word, is derived from Orins/is. l e Lath adjective, and that trivielis traces its origin, not from Tricia the Infernal goddess, but from rriviwetZwill admit of no disputa ; not even Primula himself would deny the fact.

One gnat sin of omission by Englishieskostsph•r• is this. that they are In MOO instances content to trace the English word to a Latin or Greek root without noticing the primitive, primary, and secondary meanings of the word in those Languages. Thus the word canon is re. ferable to the Latin word, and the Latin word is derived from the Greek word ; but our lexicographers should inform us that the primary meaning in Greek is a carpenter's rule, a plummet.' The word hopes* in the sense of ' cheating' Is traced to isesposs• in Latin, through the French imposer ; but how did the Latin word acquire the sense of " cheating ?" That is the question. What say our lexico graphers ? The fishes are dumb. We say to put on any body, to cheat him. ' To put'—what ? Aye, my good sir, smile, if you dare; to put panniers on him, to make an ass or a tool of him. Our ablest Latin , lexicographers are not decided on this point; one gropes in the dark, and the other is led by a dubious glimmer, but I will dissipate the darkness of the one, and enable the rushlight of the other to exhibit a steady flame :-- " heponcre, decipere,' I tut itapannare, der ad intenders, corn that; ei subsuditndus videtur emus. jraudcos, fa/facials, aut qua. modi, Cic.
