List of New Works. 



[DEC. 



and Hall, " a portrait which," as his 

 biographer observes, " bears evidence of 

 truth, by preserving the strong indica- 

 tion which marked his countenance." 

 The concluding portrait is that of the 

 Hon. G. A. Ellis, beautifully engraved 

 by Scriven, from a painting by Phillips. 

 The expression here, however, has been 

 refined and finished into something far 

 beyond the character of the original ; 

 and notwithstanding a general resem- 

 blance, it does not come by anv means 

 so near the truth as Mr. Jerdan's sketch 

 of his character. 



The third sample of Views in the East, 

 comes before us with unabated beauty. 

 The first is Assan Mabal Beejapore, by 

 Boys and Hamilton ; the second, Jumma 

 Musjid Agra, by Purser and Boys 

 both of them picturesque scenes, skil- 

 fully engraved. The last, and we may 

 add, the loveliest, is Cawnpore, by Prout 

 and Mottram. This beautiful scene is 

 almost English in its character ; and but 

 for the oriental buildings gleaming here 

 and there among the foliage, we might 

 fancy that the smooth transparent tide 

 was real Thames- water, and that the 

 trees on its banks were growing in our 

 own soil. 



We have been highly gratified by 

 looking through six numbers of a very 



novel and interesting publication The 

 Ein/lixli, Sch (Ml-, a series of the most ap- 

 proved productions in Painting and Sculp- 

 ture, from the days of Hogarth. Each 

 number contains six outlines from the 

 most celebrated modern pictures ; they 

 are executed by French artists, and are 

 accompanied by brief descriptive notices 

 in French and English. The names of 

 the painters for we have not space to 

 particularize the various subjectsform 

 an irresistible catalogue. The choicest 

 works of Wilkie, Morland, West, Fu- 

 seli, Lawrence, Reynolds, Harlow, Les- 

 lie, Newton, Flaxman, Stothard, Barry, 

 Mulready, Nollekens, Gainsborough, 

 Northcofe, Chantrey, &c. (we must 

 abridge even such a list as this) are here 

 brought before us in the prettiest man- 

 ner possible. If there are one or two 

 that might have been omitted without 

 injury, there are twenty others that it 

 would have been a sin to have left out. 

 These outlines are among the most 

 beautiful that we have seen : in some 

 instances the accuracy and spirit of the 

 figures are surprising, considering the 

 smallness of the scale. They are cabinet 

 treasures. In addition to their other 

 merits, they have a beauty that cannot 

 fail to recommend them to all admirers 

 of art cheapness.
