19. (.'seta h LI , R. A--Thi•filb•
1 a is ulcer, frms, 74r itgremo of Wars, and relates
the Itnry of
,the above Nobleman, Chief of the
auelphs.at Pifat who was locked up by the oppoire
party with his four lons, and fill ved to death in a
tower. The piattre is ditlitiguithed by the tlrong,
but very peculiar manner of the at tilt. There is A
wild grandeur in the defign, perhaps in fome fort
'„froired to the (tile of the author front whom Mr. Fu•
[Ai has immediately caught his ideas ; but It does
not accord with our notions of hillorical flatter of
GO. The figure of the Count is that of an athletic
favage, meditating revenge, and not the refigntd,
but dignified. •iftim of adserfe fortune; and the ar•
r.ngeasent of-the reit of the nerfinrol the pkiure is
made as if more with a view to ellahlith certain rules
of compofition, (rules, by which we never hope to
Ice the jo.:ginent of the riling race of artifls fetter-
ed) than to iticreafe the pathos of the fcone. Perhaps
an early imbibed prejudice may have fome influence
on our opioion, but we. (hail never reale to think that
the 1/80/ine of Sir Jos v• Rrvwnc.ns makes a much
more poetical, althouvh lets fludied, appeal to ill;
feelings, than the produaion before us, which, how-
ever, we are ready to admit, evinces great fcholal
tie merit. _ _

36 Luray, with a Stage Coach, &c.—P. J. De
LOOT lira novae, R. A.—Ellis Landfcape ia'a view
of London—we cannot trace, fuck is the general
eharader of the foreground, from what exaet (pot.
It is chiefly to be admired for the bi illiancy of its cn
louring; a kind of e,hour;og which fome will think
Is not to be found in nature, judging fram the effects
commonly produced, as viewed through the me-
dium of a precarious atmofphere. We, however,
conceive the artiß to have done no more here than
the poet tines, when, intlead of limple ideas, drawn
from ordinary nature, he, as it were, extracts the
licences of thole ideas, and transfers them, thus pu-
rified, through the alembic of his imagination, to
that tablet on which they moil Rand the tett of criti.
cifm. What may be objefted to in this picture in
regard to colouring, may alio be more fairly admit-
ted as to its g I harader. The defign is perhaps
altogether too ideal for a particular view. The
broken ground of Mr. Lnutherbourg but ill repre.
Ants the firmnefs and regularity of an Englith turn-
pike road ; neither are his figures natives of this
country ; but every part of his fobjed is, neverthe.
lets, handled in a very fupetior Rile.
78. A „Storm, Peel (Vit.—Sit BiAtlmomr, H.
This arnatear produOion may well put to the blufh
many of our profeflional gentlemen. The rolling of
the fea is fublimely conceived. and the execution of
the picture, altogether, preferves a correlponding
grandmir of tone. If any way inferior to Conte of
the heft works of the kind the Englifh fchool has pro.
duced, it is only in that mechanical handling acquir-
ed by connant practice, and of which a very lavifh
and fpaeious difplay is frequently to be found in
pictures that have probably no other merit to recorA-
mend them.
85. Late of Alhana...—SAl4l GINTLFPIAN.—Ann-
ther very beautiful production, but of a different cha
wader from the above. The relleftion and tranfpa-
rent properties of the water are happily combined, and
a tine fohrietv of tint is preferved throughout the
Didure, though, perhaps, it may be laid, that the
that
colouring is not exactly which(nits the appear-
ance of objects feen through the bright medium of
an Italian atmofphere.
on. Portrait of hit Royal 140 the Prince of Wile,.
PHILLIPS, A.—Mr. Phillips will add little to
his celebrity as a portrait painter by the exhibition of
this picture. Neither the perfonal nor the phyfiogno
mica] likenefs of his Royal Highnefs is well preferv-
ed ; it is, otherwife, a work of confiderable prole(
fional merit. The pencilling is firm, and the colouring
fuch, as not to rnanifell a wills on the part of the
artill to impofe upon the un2craanding, by any me-
ritricious trick, to which too many of his entempo-
rary competitors, of perhaps left talent, have con-

. . - . .
Rant recourfe.
go. A Parley Coupe.—T. LA URFNCE, R.A.—The
chief merit in this pi&orc is its compotition ; th:
Irrotope confills of two children and a dog, corocaly
sand moll brilliantly coloured ; but the dial ibution of
the light and Blade is affeEted, and at a diliance pro-
duces a very difagrecable effea. We could with this
gentleman would confine himfelf more clofely to the
Rudy of nature, and not be perpetually attempting
to 44 elevate and furprize," as Bays rays in the Pe
bearfal, by novelties of Rile.
96. % be Thorn.—.SAME GENTLEMAN.—This is alto
a landfeape of rather poetical charafter, fomething in
the Rile of Salvator RoCs. The Iky is, however, ra-
ther heavy, and the clouds are too hard and edgy-
-107. Sea Coai with Fybermen.—Sit F. Boueoloss.
This is a theory picture : but fo firongly masked by
the peculiar manner of the mailer, as not to excite
any idea of novelty. Sir F. appears to have a num-
ber of port folios itill of clouds, rocks, leas, figures,
&c. &c. which he joins together as occation faith with
very little trouble to himfelf, leaving all the different
parts of a pinure to recommend themfeives to the
fpeEtator, as they may, without fofficiently tlndylog
their general harmony ; content with an affurance
that his reputation as a draftfman, examine which
corner of the canvas you will, is not likely to fuller.
tog. Portrait rf the Lee Ri;,,b! Han. Mr. Pitt.--j.
Horsy'''. It. A.—Chi. is a mod faithful likenefs of
the great original. The piaure has, we believe,
been feveral years on the eafel, having received its
finilhing touches but a few days before Mr. Pitt went
lan to Bath, and perhaps is not much the better in
confequenee, as there is an air of dejcaion in the
face, not peculiar to the man when in poffelfion of
found health. The portrait itfelf is indifputably one
of the fined in the Exhibition, painted in the bell Nile
-of the solid, who appears improving yearly by a pa-
tient attention to the pure areas of nature. As he
was the pupil. Co he appears the mod legitimate
pidorial (=elfin, of Sr knot,* ELLYNIOLDS.
157. A Beeehoeste.—R. WISTALL. R. A.—This
appears to be a dire& copy of tome former work
of the fame artid, or the original of tome print al-
ready publilbed. Are Royal Academicians prlvi-
le-ed in this refped beyond other painters'' The
t" tore, it, however, an extremely beautiful pro-
d tn.nn, p uticoolarly in regard to its coionrink
a I G. 4 Lapilli- ipe afulaittle.SANK Ali 'sr.—What

we have nbfet ved in the immediately preceding pa.:
rag, aph applies to this pia4re, which if, however, a'
nsore pleating companion than the above, and corn-
parativtly lefs objeelionable, as to 'he clunafterillic
peculiarities of the painter, who has thin year exhi•
bited no other than thefe two landfcapes.

LI"PiARY FUND.—The friends of this Society oft
Thurfday held their annual dinner, at 'he Freema•
lons' Tavern Lincoln's Inn Fields. It WAS attended
by upwards of 630 perfons. His Grace the Duke of
Son' IRS.? was in the Chair. After dinner, the Earl

of the principles and puiprdiA of the Inaitution.—

held at the fign of the Acorn, at It ctlierhithe, befrre
CNaa6Ea JSMM ITT, Efq. Coroner for the crucify of
Surrey, on the body of Captain Jahn Cat r, who was
on Sunday morning lag found dead in his velrel. It
Came out in evidence, that Captain Carr was the
failing matter of the (hip Providence, of and from

the Captain lifelefs on the deck, not fhot or (tabbed,

bit of rope. A Medical Gentleman was of opi•
nian he died by fuch a beating ; and the crew, who
we are happy to fay, are not Engliflimen, hut Nor-

found a verdict of ,4 Wilful Murder againa a Peifon !
or Perfont unknown." •

P. Hallet, alias Smith, alias Jones, was charged, at
Mailhorough.flreet, with various frauds. The pri
loner has been a depredator on the public for feveral
years pall, in various difprifes. His general fy Item
ha. been that of repr,fenting himftlf as a proprietor
of flaw waggons, and obtaining money, by Hating,
that he had got a parcel for different people at an
inn, containing prefents. of money, Stc. The ,bjens
fixed on were generally people in ordinary circuits.

drawn from them the names of perfons whom fuck
pi-dents could come from, when he afTeaed to be in-
timate with them, and confequenzly became acquaint.
ed with the contents of the parcel laid to be in his
prdelliort. several charges of this nature were exhi•
bited againfl the prifoner. Onc of the witnelfes told
the Magiflrate, that at leall one hundred perfons had
been defrauded by the prtfoncr to his knowledge, he
having difguifed himfelf in every lbape. lie was
remanded for another examination.

Books dn, comparatively, little good in the World,
till they defeend into the hands of ccmmnn readers;
till the truths which they reach come to make part
of the common fence principle?, familiar to the minds
of men of moderate capacity and education. Hence
is tha motive of thole authors highly beneficent, who
publifit books of ufeful feience in a form and Ilyle by
which they are recommended to the perufal of thole
whom their bulk and ablirufenefs might otherwife
deter from fludy. Upon this confideration, we think
that too much encouragement cannot be given-to the
fale of that elegant and convenient edition of the
Garet Hea:th which the public owes to the (pit it and
judgment of Dr. Sox:issue, of Liverpool.
External applications in eruptive cafes (except
thnfe arifing from Pimple irrirato.n) could without
any difficulty be proved prejudicial. What pains
Nature takes to relieve the health by puthing the of-
fending matter to the chin and remote it far from
the principle of life ! for the knows, no longer than it
can be kept there, does the patient enjoy health. In
ufin„,o repellents then, what trouble we take to veils
one of the WA faimary laws of our benefaillefs.—
In taking Spilfbury's PatentAntifeorhutic Drops, the
internal habit is corrected, the health mends, and
thus the difeafe dies away. In fcrophula, (curvy,

is fpeedily given. It is neeeffary to of c for the Pa.
