1830.] 



executed in a style that cannot fail to 

 enchant all who purchase them, and to 

 make all who do not, envy those who 

 do. Many of these plates are by first- 

 rate artists, and they do honour to the 

 names that are attached to them. 



Portrait of the Princess Victoria. This 

 is a beautiful engraving, of an oval form, 

 by Golding, from a picture by Fowler ; 

 and affords us a better idea of the youth- 

 ful grace and beauty of this little prin- 

 cess than any engraving previously pub- 

 lished. The head is sweetly executed, 

 and the expression is simple and charac- 

 teristic. We could not at first sight 

 very easily make out whether the 

 principal object in the foreground is a 

 spaniel, or a hat, with a plume of 

 feathers appended to it. The ornament 

 is a little too conspicuously introduced ; 

 but the whole picture is light, delicate, 

 and tasteful, and is worthy of its illus- 

 trious and promising subject. 



FINE ARTS. 



Monument to Shakspeare. A commit- 

 tee comprising some highly respectable 



479 



names has been formed, for the purpose 

 of raising a monumental trophy to the 

 memory of Shakspeare. All tnat sur- 

 prises us in this, is, that it should have 

 been delayed so long. The trophy is to 

 be erected by public subscription no 

 individual contribution to exceed 3 

 an amount which it would be far better 

 to increase to 10. The trophy is to be 

 worthy of the progress of the arts and 

 the grandeur of the empire ; it is to be 

 placed in a conspicuous part of the me- 

 tropolis, " which from its being the 

 scene of his glory and the resort of men 

 of every nation, is pre-eminently entitled 

 to be hallowed by so classical a distinc- 

 tion, more especially as this first act of 

 universal homage to a British poet will 

 be paid to the " chiefest" and most com- 

 prehensive genius the world ever saw." 

 We would suggest that the managers of 

 the national theatres, should give a 

 benefit in aid of the subscription ; and 

 we trust that there is not a literary man 

 in the kingdom whose name will be 

 found wanting in a list which will do 

 honour to all who are enrolled in it.
