ment of his-Artf Ciftdriiti.tribkthe necessity
of going into a very long detail : this is fortlinate,
much as the appalling difficulty of doing strict justice
wouldweaken,the humble effort, and thus render more im-
plfect a iketch; that Oetetidi not to give, more than r. very
faint outline of the brilliant piciure, to a th.qeli mote
talented man would feel himself incompetent to do adequate
justice to. In viewing this
SPLENDID EXHIBITION or THE FOUNDER AND
FATHER Or BRITISH HISTORICAL PAINTING,
The nation at large will lament that in times like these,
when the marlh of intellect and immoramert has made
such rapid strides, so great a treasure as
MR. WEST'S GALLERY

Should be left to the hazard and uncertainty of the ham-
mer; it was surely not appreciating too highly the English
taste and liberality to contemplate
THE AlliTtSII iNSM,t2TION AND
NATIONAL GALLERY

Becoming the depository of this entire Collection, and thus
transmit to posterity a proud recori of what could be accom-
plished by an Englishman, and in that peculiar art, which
had so long remained in its infancy. It was by the
generotis deiotidn of the ,poblest 6irn of his
profee,loiii that British Pairiiiiig into direct
association with the Throne, and raised it into an object of
national importance in the mind of his Sovereign. It will
almost partake of the work of supererogation to slate, that
until the year 1765, Historical Painting was in no wise
encouraged in England, and the immortal West encoun-
tered the trial in fear and trembling: how well he suc-
ceeded future g-creratiott ‘44llaclal_Owledge,-L-hid the Pre-
sent it is believed, add their ednctirring testirliony.—
Vor this proud testimonial of having raised the character
of English Historical Art, the public are mainly indebted
to the kind and fostering encouragement of his.
LATE MAJESTY, GEORGE THE THIRD,
Who, in the singleness of his mind, and unbounded libe-
rality, commanded tilt late Fretident to paint rtV:.kuil,-
.i*O PICTU RES, to adorn

THE ROYAL CHAPEL IN WINDSOR.

Our pre•ent Monarch was graciously pleased to restore tc
Mr. West's family these precious gems; they include the
SUBLIME COMPOSITION,
MOSES rtYCErrINO l'Elt LAWS,

The Universal deluge and the Crucifixion of Our Saviour.
The remaining ones are all appropriate for Altar Pieces.
It would fa: exceed the limit of an advertisement to men-
tion separately all the Pictures : a very few will demon-
strate the treat which is in store for those who have not
been so fortunate as to see them.
