rious designs. The 'Visionary' and the 'Reply of the Fountain,' both by Liverseege, are, from interesting and evidently well painted originals, and the engravers, Engleheart and Smith, have done them justice. Martin's 'Fortress of Lessing Craig' pleases us better than many of his more ambitious pictures.' The Village Suitor's Welcome,' by Stothard, is full of grace and exquisite expression. Williamson's Wreck' is a clever production; the frowning precipices, the ocean in its wrath, the wild and hurrying sky, the torn and shattered vessel, are forcibly expressed. Goodall's 'Piper of Mull' is, we take it for granted, a portrait, and it is instinct with life. A view of the Bay of Naples, by Linton, exhibits novel features in a hackneyed subject. Abbeville is a pleasing view of water, and buildings, and church architecture, by Roberts; it is spiritedly touched, but it wants the solidity of Prout, and the scientific skill of Bonnington. Of The Vintage Dance' and the Lago de Nemi, we shall say nothing. A view by Barrett, exhibits one of his calm, deeply reposing evening scenes.

We are getting cloyed with sweets; but Friendship's Offering, with its tasteful decorations, must not pay the penalty of our satiety. The frontispiece is a beautiful work of art; Lawrence's last portrait, Lady Carrington, from the skilful graver of Charles Rolls. Richter's Fairy of the Lake' will, we have no doubt, be highly popular. The Poet's Dream'-Milton and the Italian lady, is one of Westall's best efforts. Wichelo's Em'barkation,' bating a little stiffness of handling, is a rich and beautiful drawing. The Orphan,' Expectation,' and 'The 'Greek Mother,' have their respective merits, but call for no special criticism. Stothard's Dismal Tale' is admirably told. Purser's Palace' is rich in structure and accompaniment. Mr. Wood's Myrrhina and Myrto, has all the appearance of having been cleverly painted, but we cannot sympathize with him in his notions of the beau ideal. The Prediction,' a highly finished plate from Alfred Johannot, closes our list.

6

We have left ourselves room only barely to notice the illustrations to the Keepsake;-Portrait of Mrs. Stanhope, beautifully engraved by Charles Heath; Dressing for the Ball, from De Verria, very clever and graceful; The Champion, from Chalon; Isola Bella, from Stanfield; Lord Byron's Dream, a clever architectural scene of Ruins, by Harding; Interior of Zwinger Palace, Dresden, from Prout; Marly, and St. Germain, both after Turner; The Wedding, one of the prettiest things we have seen from Miss L. Sharpe. 'Scandal'-quite in our old favourite Smirke's own style of humour; Good Angels, from a painting by Howard, already referred to; and the Repentance of Nineveh, from Martin, and thoroughly Martinesque.

ART. VIII. LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.

Before this Number meets the public eye, our readers will have been informed of the severe loss which the Christian and Literary Public have sustained by the death of Mr. WILLIAM GREENFIELD, late Superintendent of the Editorial Department of the British and Foreign Bible Society, who has fallen a victim to his unwearied application and assiduous labours, added to the mental anxiety produced by the malignant calumnies with which his character had been assailed, since (and in consequence of) his connexion with the Bible Society.
