They managed thefe things differently in 
Ruffia. The late Emprels began to build 
the Church dedicated to St. Haac, in Pe- 
terfburgh, with an intention of making it 
the moft fuperb of any inthe city. It is

perftructure being formed both within and

This defign, like moft cf thofe deli- 
heated by this very ingenious artift, is an 
addrefs to the mind by the eye. The 
figures are marked with nature, and have 
an air of fimplicity and truth, which is

of Englith artifts, whofe ambition attempts 
_ little more than to dazzle the eye with me- 
retricious ornament. It is very well en- 
praved.
