EXHIBITION, 1304

171, 172. Lengeler.—J.l222TSol.—The defigns
of this artift are plealing, and his piastres are exe-
cuted in a very fpirited Qile ; but he has fallen in to
a (potty manner, peculiarly his own, which robs his

in the Exhibition.
595. The Cies Comely Bair.—J. Nixon, H.—A
fportive defign from an amateur pencil, which has
produced a number of very pleafant things of the kind.
This, however, is not one of his moft vigorous efforts.
303. 7he Shepteni—C. Caauseea.—Another pleat-
ing fpeeimen of the talents of an artift who; if he keep
clear of piaorial trick., -by which he is apt to be led
affray among the falfe lights of the prefent period.
