It is a moft fpirlted and animated por- 

 trait, inarkeil with tnind and appropria'c 

 chiirxfler, bot not painted lo K' v ev"cd 

 \ipwards of twenty feet above 'he eye, 

 and at that height, we were much morti- 

 fied fo fee, it is exhibited in the Council- 

 Chamber at Guildhall, where it is placed 

 immediately Qit\ the feat of the Lord 

 Wayor. Butjuftice to the memory of our 

 lamented Hero demands its rem val to a 

 fituat'on nearer the eye ; for here the 

 whole portrai- appears of one fone of en. 

 lour, and the honourable fear in the Ad 

 miral's forehead, which was a remarkable 

 mark, is entirely loft. The portrait of 

 Lord Rodney, which is ^o pain'ed that 

 it would admit of being placed at a 

 greater height, is about twelve feet from 

 the eye. The fituati n of the two por- 

 traits might be changed, and Lord Nel- 

 i'on pur in the place now appropriated to 

 Lord Rodney, and iiicc ijerfa.

Thelc fix Virws of this grand and moft 

 romantic county are printed in colours, 

 v/itn borders to each of them to imitate 

 ftained drawings, to which they have a 

 very ftriking refemblance. We have fel- 

 dom feen any thing more pleafing or pic- 

 turefque in this line of the arts. The 

 points ot view are chofen with great tafte ; 

 the colouring is exailly appropriate ro the 

 fcenery, and in an uncommon degree 

 clear ; the water, efpecially that in the 

 moonlight, perfeftly pellucid ; and the 

 whole together in an eminent degree at- 

 traftjve and interefting. 



The Mafquerade. Wm. Ihgarth pinxt. T. 

 Cook fculpt. 



This print is, as wc have been told, en- 

 graved from a pidure that has been long in 

 the portefiioci of R. Pdhner, Eliq , who is 

 now abroad ; and being leen by Mr. John 

 Nichoils, and iome other genilemen. who 

 conceived it to be painted by Hoganh, 

 Ml . Cook obtained permillion to engrave 

 it, which he has done, in line, in a very 

 good (tyie, and the original remains at 

 his houfe in ihc Haymarket. 



In any thing from the pencil of this 

 great ariift the public will mturally feel an 

 jnieieif, and it is probable, that, when 

 the print is circulated, it may be feen by 

 thole who will iecolle6t fonie floating Itory
