149 A Landscape, coppocition, by P. N ASIINIGIII.—TO say
that this artist reminds us of I tohlxima and Wina nt+,Mould hr a stif-

pression, and the troth of col.inring +nith which it is txrcuted,. does
honour to the pencil of the arti-t. Yet we cannot help whispering

lively interest it created in the mind of the public.. The com-
position is grand anti solemn, the figure of M.tgd.dtii mat.

approrriate character; yet some of the extremities !Hee
been found too eltunsv, and do n 10. saow that Mr. tititon
