NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2nd s. No 110., Feb. G. '58. 



Shelley's " Letters." — Were not the Letters of 

 Percy Bysslie Shelley (with an Introductory Es- 

 say by Robert Browning, London, Edward Moxon, 

 Dover Street, 1852) a proved forgery? A. X. 



[These Letters are said to have been fabricated by G. 

 Byron. See The Athenaum for 1852, pp. 278. 301. 325.

JAMES BAYNES, PAINTER IN WATEECOLOCBS. 



(2"'i S. iii. 157.) 



In answer to Mawi,stick,* who, I presume, 

 takes up the mahl-stick, not only as a 7iom du 

 guerre, but as an implement of chastisement, 

 like — 



" Carreiio, who once broke a scholar's arm by a blow 

 of the heavj' staff, which he used like Giordano, for the 

 double purpose of supporting his wrist and maintaining 

 order in his school. When the lad's father complained 

 of this more than Spartan discipline, the goodnatured ab- 

 sent artist is said to have aggravated the outrage by 

 seeking to excuse himself by a pun. ' I was very un- 

 lucky,' he said, ' for the blow was given with the greatest 

 tiento, caution.' Tiento also means mahl stick." f 



And Mr. Mawlstick will find the meaning of 

 my words if he will read with caution — for I 

 never placed Mr. Baynes and the Great Paul 

 Sandby upon the same horizon — as there they 

 would have been specks invisible. I merely 

 brought them in the foreground : venturing com- 

 parisons that might have been made between the 

 works of Michael Angelo and Mr. Titmarsh, or 

 any other two artists — mediaeval or modern, 

 gentle or simple. 



I send entries from the Royal Academy Cata- 

 logue : which are in oil, and which in water-colour, 

 I cannot tell ; though I have the first authority in 

 stating that the said Baynes never had a work 

 refused admission to " the Exhibition," as the an- 

 nual show of pictures was called prior to " the 

 (Great) Exhibition" of 1851 : —
