~ with: Sometimes he excites the fublimeft 
ideas by his wonderful reprefentations of - 
ftupendous caverns, under the various 
efeé&ts of day, fire, or moon light; at. 
ether times we are foothed with the calm 
- and ftill {cenery of Italy, in which hein- 
-troduces the clear and brilliant fies pe- 
culiar to that climate ; he again, in his 
Jaf piétures, exhibits the moft playful 
execution, and charming effects, which 
conftitute the principal beauty of sour 
own mountain fcenery in Weftmoreland 
and Cumberland. Upon thefe fubjects 
his pencil was laft employed, and, asa 
proof that his unremitting appitcation 
was produétive of farther advances te- 
wards perfection, his laft work (not en- 
tirely finifhed)beinga view of the Head of 
Ulefwater Lake, from Lyulph’s Tower, 
may juftly be confidered as the fineft of 
all his landfeapes,and.a work which alone 
would place his reputation along with 
that of the moft eminent mafters. 
His principal fire lights are a large Ve- 
fuvius, fold to the Emprefs of Ruifia for 
300 guineas; a girandolo, its companion, 
in the fame colleétion ; the deftruction of 
the floating batteries off Gibraltar, in the 
poffeffion of J. Milnes, Efq. of Wake- 
field, and other fubjedts enumerated in 
the following lift, for many of which he 
received confiderable prices ; and as the 
names of the purchafers are frequently 
mentioned, it will be gratifying to all 
real amateurs to be informed where his 
admirable works have been difperfed. 
In addition to the charaéter which he 
merits for the executive part of his art, 
it is pleafing to record, that in hus works 
the attention is ever directed to the 
caufe of virtue; that his early hifto- 
rical pidtures confit of fubjects either 
‘of rational or moral improvement, and 
he has fucceeded admirably in arreft- 
ing the gentler feelings of humanity 5 
for what eye or heart ever remained un-_ 
moved at the fight of Maria, Sterne’s 
Captive, or the Dead Scldier. In his» 
works *! not one immoral, one corrupted 
thoughr,”’ occurs to wound the eye of de- 
Kicacy, or induce a wifh that to exquifite 
a pencil had not found employment on 
more worthy fubjeéts. His pictures may 
be confidered as the reflexion of his own 
delicate mind, and will be ranked by 
pofterity as treafures worthy the imjta- 
gion ef fucceeding generations.
