reprefents Mouxt Parnaffus covered with 
medallion portraits of living mufical per- 
formers. The portraits of fuch of them 
as we know are generally refemblances ; 
but we with they had been more attended 
to in delicacy of finifhing, and, iz fome in- 
frances, a \ittle more character might have 
been introduced without any prejudice to 
the likenefles. The portraits are engraved 
in the chalk manner; the land{cape is in 
ftroke. The generality of Mr. Landfeer’s 
engravings are entitled to higher praife 
than this, and the clouds are rather ina 
wiery and hard ftyle.

F. Viera is a Portuguefe, and, as ave 
bave been told, dvaws better than Cipriani; 
but that point this print does not prove : 
the air of the heads is by no means fo 
claffical, neither are the figures fo elegant 
as thofe generally delineated by that de- 
fervedly admired and popular Italian, 
‘The engraving is by F.deQueroz, who, we 
have been informed, was fent to Bartolozzi 
for improvement in his art, by the Prince 
of Portugal; and fome of the heads bear 
marks of having been touched upon by the 
burin of Bartolozzi.

This print reprefents the Triumphal 
Arch ere&ted by Flint Stacey, Efy. of 
Maidftone, in honour of the royal vifit to 
Lord Romney at the Mote, on the-1f of 
Auguft, 1799; and may be a very proper 
print to accommodate every Volunteer of 
the county of Kent, but the coloured 
lamps with which it is decorated are, we 
fear, rather too gaudy and glittering for 
the general eye. aia

We do ct know that this 
portrait is a refemblance ; if it is, the por= - 
trait of the Emperor Paul, whofe exterior 
difplays as few marks of mind or genius
