194.. Sketch of a Monument for perpetuating tie Afi.
wry of the late Lord tyfoa.—B. Wm, R. A.—There
is novelty in this deign .of the Prefident, inafmuch
as his 06 j..Et is to combine in it the three branches of
the Art which conflitutethe Academy—Architec-
ture, Sculpture, and Paiutiag ; in the latter depart-
ment, however, which is his own, Mr. Well hatbeen
molt faccefsfal, a: may be better feen by referringto
No. a 7, the piaure painted on a larger fcalc, which
forms the central part of the monument.—lt is alle-
gorical; the fuhje&—" The Immortality of Nelfon."
A very fine likenefs of the deceafed Hero is preferred
in this piaate, the: defign and compofition of which
are highly poetical and appropriate, but in the group.
ing of the figures, the lines appear broken into too
many acute angles, and the colon, ing is not in the
artift's belt Rile. Of the architeCtural and Ratuary
parts of the work, great clafficality and fimplicity of
form arc ohferved, but which appear more calculated
to give prominence of circa to the labours of the
painter, than to derive any from them. In a word,
the Whole of the architeaure and fculptutre can only
be confidered as forming au elegant frame for the
picture.
207. Me RO4dflirk,Paantcßeyling.--W.Owt
A charming groupe of figures, teprefented as repofingl
round a mile-Gone; in which Mr. Owen, conformably
to fume hints we-gave him fall year, has delineated
his Peafintry more charadleriitically true to Nature
than heretofore, Without defcending to vulgarity.—
The dißribution of light and fhadow in this pi&ure
is alto peculiarly happy, and the colourir g lefs florid
than in film; of this mill% forger productions of the
fame kind.

236. Reprefentation the Situation of Lord Nellie:
Fleet, at the cote of tux at& f Trafalgar.—V. Poi•ocu.
'This is a kind of bird's eye view of the iaterellingfub.
jet of which it treats, and, on that account; the left
piaurefrpie; reminding us of the old tap:flry of he
dearuaion of the Spann AID Ida, in the Houle of
',Ards : it is, however, a manner of ; a Ming well
tithed to defcribe, with profe(Tional accuracy, the
movements of fleets, &c. In other refpeas, this can
only be confidered as a fort of perfpeEtive plan. It
i;, however, we will fnppore, correctly delineated;
but not fo well col,ured as form of Mr. Pocock's
former produCtions of a similar nature.
241. Eli and Sesnmei in the Temple.--Ass
&tiny .—lt is with pain we notice any of this Lady's
pit-litres without attaching praife. Her pienres on
rafloral and dometlic fubjeas are highly metitorii us,
but iit all her hillorical attempts file is lets fuccefsful,
both in regard to defign and execution.
118. Markt day.—A.W W. CAL LCOT, A—This land,
(cape if painted more in imitation of a foreign Maflet
i than in the becoming Rile of a fludent of Englitb
nature.—The manner followed is that of Waterloo,
and confequently there is no breadth of light and
Qiadow, or combination of parts.—The colouring,
however, is in a good fcholaflic Bile' but the pie=
upon the whole, manifefts but little of ideal beitatr.
76. Code Seen.—Sista ARTI SI,,T/1 if is a more
natural prodution than the precersag, but we do
not think it altogether correaly fludied. The fub•
jet is that of a Tandy beach, which had been Motif
glazed by the receding of an oozy tide, on the fp
face of which are reflected a number of objects ss
Rrongly as if they were placed on tice. This would be
right if the tea bad not t etired to far, and which sou
