From Kniveton to Work/op and JVelbecky 

 the foil is chiefly fand ; lets at a low rent, 

 of from 4 s. to 8 s. an acre ; the latter 

 place, the feat of his Grace the Duke of 

 Portland, is very well deferving the atten- 

 tion of the curious traveller ; in the* park 

 are feveral noble woods of very antient and 



venerable 



Drawing-room, 24 fquare. 



Bed-chamber. 



Clofet. A mufic-piece by Titian. The dra- 

 pery pretty. 



Dining-room, 36 by 25. 



Rubens. The four parts of the world. The 

 figures are thofe of Rubens, a pure flelhy fe- 

 male, but the beafts furprizingly line; the 

 panther equal to any thing ever painted, and 

 the crocodile admirably done. The groupe 

 vile. 



Titian. The four Evangelijls ; heavy and inex- 

 preflive, but the diftulion of light good, the 

 air of the heads is fine, and the hands appear 

 to me very well executed. 



Paul Veronefe. Marriage of Cana. A ftrange 

 groupe •, the drapery very bad •, nor is there 

 any propriety of action : The expreilion is 

 however ftrong. 



Solomon receiving his wifdom. The figure of So- 

 lomon is that of a fleeping clown. 7'he atti- 

 tude of the Deity in the air, and the expref- 

 fion of his countenance are fine : The colours 

 bad.
