FINE ARTS. 95 



Roscoe handles his pen more freely, and developes his resources more 

 amply than heretofore. RadclyfiVs burin is very powerful ; and *' Dola- 

 bern Tower," ** Cader Idris," and " Bolingbroke's homage to the Second 

 Richard in Flint Castle," are fine specimens of his capabilities. The last 

 plate is especially good ; the figure of Richard is uncommonly fine. 



BYRON BEAUTIES. A Series of ideal Portraits of the principal 

 Female Characters in Lord Byron's Poems. W. and E. FlNDEN. 

 Part VII. Charles Tilt, London. 



This number contains "Leila," from the "Giaour;" the beautiful 

 slave is well embodied ; " Jephtha's Daughter," and "Lady Pinchbeck," 

 from " Don Juan," neither of them perhaps quite equal to our conception 

 of these characters, but finely and elaborately delineated. 



WINKLES' CATHEDRALS. Illustration of the Cathedral Church 

 of York. No. VI. E. Wilson, London. 



Three fine views of the celebrated minster. The first view is parti- 

 cularly rich. We are delighted to see the work progress so satis- 

 factorily. 



Landscape Illustrations of Moore's Irish Melodies ; with Comments 

 for the Curious. Part I. Power, London. 



This is a well-conceived work, and the comments are good. We cannot 

 say a word in praise of the plates, except that they are pretty fairly de- 

 signed the execution is scratchy and poor. 



Cottage Musicians. Charles Tilt, London. 



A fine subject ably handled both by painter and engraver. The manage- 

 ment of the light has given Carlos an excellent opportunity for displaying 

 the excellence of his mezzotint. The plate is highly creditable, and we 

 think adds to his already high reputation. It is after Kidd, and forms a 

 very appropriate companion to the "John Anderson" of the same 

 artists.
