must deplore that a gentleman who conferred such honour 

 on our county is removed from that learned retirement in 

 which he delighted, and from that enchanting scene which, 

 in every sense, he so greatly adorned. He is succeeded in 

 his title by his only son, now Sir Robert Price, one of our 

 representatives." 



Sir Uvedale published the following : 



1. An Essay on the Picturesque, as compared with the 

 Sublime and Beautiful, and on the use of studying pictures 

 for the purpose of improving real landscape, 8vo. 1794. 

 This volume was afterwards published in 1796, in 8vo. with 

 considerable additions, and in 1798 was published at Here- 

 ford a second volume, being an Essay on Artificial Water, 

 an Essay on Decorations near the House, and an Essay on 

 Architecture and Buildings as connected with Scenery. 



2. A Letter to H. Repton, Esq. on the application of the 

 practice and principles of Landscape Painting to Landscape 

 Gardening. Intended as a supplement to the Essays. To 

 which is prefixed Mr. Repton's Letter to Mr. Price. Lond. 

 1795, 8vo. Second edition, Hereford, 1798, 8vo. This is a 

 sportive display of pleasant wit, polished learning, and deep 

 admiration of the great landscape painters. Keen as some 

 of his pages are, and lamenting that there should have been 

 any controversy (" or tilting at each other's breasts,") on the 

 subject of Launcelot Browne's works, " I trust, (says he,) 

 however, that my friends will vouch for me, that whatever 

 sharpness there may be in my style, there is no rancour in 

 my heart*' Mr. Repton in his Enquiry into the Changes of 

 Landscape Gardening, acknowledges " the elegant and gen- 

 tleman-like manner in which Mr. Price has examined my 

 opinions." Indeed, many pages in this present letter shew 

 this.
