UNDER THE FATRONAGE OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS

THE PRINCE REGENT.
We are happy to find, that this Monurnetv to
the memory of departed genius has aura( ted the
attention of ail ranks in the kingdom. The con-
descending and. flattering approbation of the
PRINCE REGENT is a•Ligh testimony in favour of
the object, which cannot he better expressed Can
in the words of the letter which nummiccri his
Royal Highness's generous subscription
"I am comlnaui;i•rl to express to you tli pleasure -it Ills
afforded his Royal ilighiress-, to see that the unrivalled enius
and memory of Scotland's falonrite Bard is shout to he per-
petuated by a work of art, in the highest degree belntiful,
and suitable-to the sacred. purpose fir which it is intended j
and I have the high gratification to inform you, that his
Royal liiglinets is graciously pleased to subscribe fifty guineas
towards erecting the mausoleum in St. Michael's Church.•
yard, .Thunfr ies, according to the elegant and claSsical desiga
by Arr. Hunt.

'•." Carlton-House, 25th August, 3815."
The -work is now proceeding rapidly, and,
when completed, will be one of the finest speci-
mens. of art to be found in the king'ilom. The
Secretary, Mr. GatitzsoN, has just received thd
model for, the marble sculpture, which we think is
come at a very Fortin:ate time, 'as the subject i 3
taken froin IltraNs's dedication to that honour-
able body, which is just met in this place, the Ca-
ledonian How, where he
" My Lords and Gentlemen,
'' A Scottish bard, proud of the name, and whose ICgliest
ambition is to sing i:abis country's service, where shall lie so
properly look for patronage as to the illustrious names of hia
native land, those who near the honours and inhent the vir-
tues,of• their ancestors ? The poetic Genius of •ny cotusiTy
found me, as the bard Elijah did Elisha, at the'plungh, and
threw her inspiring-mantle over me."

The artist, who is employed to execute the marble
sculpture, is Mr. ToriNcrzeu.r, of London, and.
the exquisite taste he has displayed iu that
which is only half. siZe, pi ores his just conceptioa
of the suhivet. The bard is repre?Aited as sta,.,;ing
between the handles of the plough, with his boelnet
in,his hand, his attention is arrested by the api.car-
ance of the poetic Genius of his conutry , to whom he
looks with great earnestness, While she is just about
to throw her inspiring mantle over him. Thst.
expression of both figures is extremely simple, and.
the attitudes easy and elegant. The drapery is
managed With great effect, but it is impossible
to say which part deserves must to be admired.
It must, theretore, be seen before its merits can
