THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1851

seems destined to engross no small share of attention
—" Geoffrey Chaucer reading the Legend of Cus-
tance,' to gdward 111. and his Court, at the Palace
of Sheen, on the Anniversaty of the Black Prince's
Forty-fifth Birthday." If we can trust to hearsay,
IMr. F. M. Brown has been employed upwards of
three years on this work; and, most assuredly, this
arduous labour is vi,ible in the work, every part
being finished with the nicest care and minuteness.
The elevated throne en which the aged monarch is
seated, surrounded by his numerous progeny, and ou
which stands erect the poet himself, forms the upper
half of the composition ; beneath are placed a host
of poets, women, troubadours. and a cardinal. The
irervading feeling scents to have originated in those
Aikmano-feutome styles who strong-holds are at
Munich and Dusseldorf.
