«s No Judge,” replied Stuart, <« No 
Judge, Sir! How happened it then, that “ 
you bave always fat to me in a Fudge's 
Yyobes and periwig 2?” In Such robes, &c. 
jt has always been the cuftom to paint our 
fages of the law, and a portrait of a Judge 
without a profeffional periwig &c. is a 
novelty which we have feldom witnefled ; 
but in this ftaté is Lord Kilwarden intro- 
duced to the public, and a very refpedcta- 
ble portrait it is. In air and manner it 
reminded us of Houbraken’s head of John © 
Locke. It is engraved in line ; and 
though it can hardly be put in the clafs of 
one of Bartolozzi’s bef? plates, the engrav- 
ing has confiderable merit. |

Portrait- Painter to the Prince of Wales, and 
engraved and publifped by Fahn Young, En- 
graver to bis Royal Highbnefs. Price 21, 2s.

«This is a very fine portrait of a molt 
beautiful woman; the attitude is fimple 
and elegant, and the general effect ftriking 
and interefting. . 
The Threfher, and the Sower; two Prints, ene 
graved by S; W. Reynolds, from R. Wefiall, 
R. A. and) publifped by W. Pearce, Beruers- 
frreet. Price 11. 10s. the Pair. 
Thefe are two very beautiful defigns ; 
the Threfher is fingularly fine, and has 
every appearance of being drawn from'na- 
ture. |The companion-print is probably 
‘ imaginary: they are engraved in mezzo- 
tinto, which is not the beft ftile for either: 
jandfcape or Weftall’s mo picturefque 
_ deligns,—but notwithftanding this, they 
are upon the whole two very fine plates. 
Alchoufe Politicians. G. Morland, punxit. WW, 
Ward feulpt. Induftrious Cottagers, Compa 
nion-print to the above, by the fame Artifts. 
Publifhed by F: andW Ward, Newman-fircet. 
In the firk of thefe prints Mr. Morland. 
has been fingularly happy: it is plain un- 
adorved nature ina mirror. Never was 
there a more fimple and unaffected compo- 
fition. It reprefents a country butcher 
filling his pipe, and liftening attentively 
to 2a labourer who is reading a news- 
paper; and the ftory is conceived and told 
with uncommon felicity. The Induffrious 
Cottegers, though very pretty in parts, is 
by no means equal to it, either in. cha- 
raéter or intereft. The engraving of both 
of them is in mezzotinto.

This defign does great credit to the ar-

refemblance to the deft fiyle of Hamilton. 
‘The back-ground is exceedingly rich and | 
beautiful, and it is very well engraved in 
the chalk manner. The fubjeét is rather 
obfeure for a picture, but he has made 
the moft of it.

The merit of the drawing from which 
this is copied lies more in. the extreme high 
finifhing, than inany thingelfe; and that 
merit the print does not poffefs ; but con- 
fidered as engraved from a defign by an 
arti! of whom we have heard fo muchy 
and’know {fo little, 1s a curiofity.

firect. 
Of the etchings by this. original and 
whimfical artift, it is not eafy to fpeak in 
terms equal to their merit. This is a 
moft (pirited caricature of our late magna- 
nimous Ally, the Emperor of all the Ruffiass 
trampling under foot the violated treaty. 
The Union Club. Gilray. Price 55. 
An admirable though violent carica~ 
ture of the drunken orgies of a certain 
club. Except Hogarth’s Madern Midnight 
Converfation, we have. never. feen any 
thing in this walk to equalit. The va- 
rious. and whimfical effects produced by 
excels of wine, afford ample materiale 
for fuch a pencil as Gilray’s: for fome- 
times, like love, it renders a fool fenfible— 
transforms a wife man into an afs—and 
feems to imbibe a new quality from every 
different body, as water takes a tincture 
from the ground it runs through. —
