 Engraved by hemy^frotn an original Painting 

 by ^Ij'abey. PubHjbed for W. Lemy, Slueen- 

 jifuarc, Wijiminjlir. 



Ifabey iceins to be a favourite poitcait- 

 jaiiitei- in Paris. He ibiiie time ago 

 painted a portrait of B'>naparce obferving 

 the Mechanics working at the Manufac- 

 tory at Rouen, with which ihe Emperor 

 was fo highly gratified, tiiat he granted 

 •the artili a pcnlion of eight luiiidrod hvres 

 a-year. From thefe ciicuniftauces it is 

 probable that tlie pictuic bears a'refem- 

 Llance to the original ; and it is certain 

 that the print is a very corrctt copy of 

 the piituie. Added to this, it is extreme- 

 ly vvell engraved in chalks.

Portraits of springing Sp.iniels. The fume Pain- 

 ter, Engraver, and PU'l/Jhcr j and dedicated 

 to Sir John Shelley. 



Thel'e two prints form part of a fenes 

 ■ liich are to be publilh^d from deligns by 

 L'. lleinaj,ie, whofe merit as an aitilt is 

 well known to the public, and wluiie me- 

 rit in this particular Ijianch may be judg- 

 ed of fiovn his designs for the oportiimm's 

 (.'alciidar, dSic. 



The work is to confill of twenty fub- 



•ts, each print intafuring 20^ inches by 

 i "> ; to be engraved in the bcft ftyle of 

 aijuatinta : plain impivi'iions 15s. ; co- 

 loured imprcUiOiis Sis., to fubfcribcrs.. 

 To tiiofe who do not fub*'cr-ibo, coloured 

 prints a guinea anil a half. The plates 

 will be pubiifhcd every lix weeks or two 

 months. 



With refpe61: to the prints now before' 

 us, we thought tliat in the delineation of 

 the partridges, Mr. lieinagle had made? 

 ample ufe of the priviicic allowed to 

 painters, aAd given iiis birds of a fr/e.timt 

 nearly approached the itheafaiit ;— but 



on farther con&deration this appearance 

 feemed to arile from the contrail which 

 the two old birds form to the little chick- 

 ens which furround tljeni. This gives 

 them a much larger appearance than they 

 would othenvil'e have. 



In the other print, the tails of the fpa- 

 niels are very diiferent fmrn thofc of the 

 fp«niels we rcmeniber to ha\e obferved 

 in our youth. But thefe, it feems, ait; 

 portraits of a paj-ticularly valuable breed, 

 tiiut, to adopt the phrafeology of the 

 fportfmen, were "bred by Colonel Thorn- 

 ton." The back-grounds of both the 

 prints are in a large ar.d broad liyle ; ' 

 a.nd the eifcct of thole that are coloured 

 is very fuperior to thofe in black and 

 white.
