 senting Nature not as she really ap- 

 pears, but as Mr. G. conceives she 

 ought to appear, to iorm pictttresqite 

 scenery, his language on these sub- 

 jects, is justly liable to the strong re- 

 monstrance of the author of the

 Part IV. p. 225 & scq. 



Mr. G.'s brother Sawrey has long 

 been distinguished as a painter of 

 animals. He etched a complete set 

 for his brother's Forest Scenery. 

 Besides these there were in the auc- 

 tion several others. In the removal 

 of the efiedts after the death of Mr. 

 Blamire, who first published Mr. 

 G.'s picturesque works, the plates 

 from which these animals were ta- 

 ken were irrecoverably lost. To 

 the copy of Mr. G.'s three essays on 

 picturesque beauty, &c. were added 

 the drawings whence the prints were 

 etched, and the remarks given by 

 Sir Joshua Reynolds to Mr. Mason 

 1776, on the first essay, and Sir 

 Joshua's letter to Mr. G. 1791. 

 To the catalogue were annexed the 

 author's account of the principles 

 on which the drawingsare executed.
