Alderman John Boydel!. Of this Pic- 

 ture we Jiave fpoken in a former Retro- 

 fpe6t ; -and as the ])riut is encnvcd by 

 3Vlr. Earlom, it is fta.ce necclVai-y to fay 

 it is admirably copied. 

 Lady Jiemi'ton. M^i^querin f'lnxt. W. Say 

 Jcl'j.1. 

 This may be a iiker.tfs of Lady Hamil- 

 ton at this time ; but, accufionied to 

 judge of her from the limple yet [iraceful 

 portraits of Mr. ftomney, in whieh the 

 air and attitude is fafciiiating, thoue;!! to- 

 tally uiiaire6ted, vvc could not look at 

 this as conveying fimilar ideas of fo agree- 

 able a figure. 



Ihe Rjgit Honourable Lady Mulg>a-vc. Hopp- 

 ticr, R.A., pinxt. G. Ci'wtfculpt. Puhlip- 

 ed hy G. Clmt, H'wd-ccurt, Fka-jlreet.

Samuel frejeiited to Eli- l Samuel, Cb. T. 

 Painted by Henry Singleton. Engra-ved by 

 Thomas H^ilHamJon. Publiped by R. Cribb, 

 aB8, Jhlborn. 



This verv- pretty little print, in which 

 the countenances and turn of two or 

 three of the female figures reminded us f)f 

 fome of the early deCgns of Angelica 

 Kauflniacn, is engraved v\ith uncommon 

 delicacy and foftncfs. Mr. Cribb has 

 pro[.erly dedicated it to the ladies and 

 gentlemen fub.'cribers to the bunday- 

 fchools tln'oughout thckingdopi. 



There was r time when religious fub- 

 jefts engrolVed the jjcncils of the moll 

 eminent urtifls ; but, from the cxcluQoii 

 of pic' tires from our churches, &c., thefe 

 fubjects have been for miiny years nc- 

 gleiSied by our engravers, and the mod 

 valuable delincatior.s from IJoly-writ in a 

 degree conliued to the collections and ca- 

 binets of the opulent. Karneflly wiJliing 

 them mole generally diflcminated, we 

 ■were much gratified by feeing it an- 

 nounced that a Bible is now preparing, 

 in which will be introduced numerous co- 

 pies of thefe fublhi.e delineations," en- 

 graved by our capital artifls.
