Pope Adriany of which fomething is faid in 
page 57 of my Letter to the Society of Arts, 
printed in 1793. Below Pope Adrian, Ly- 
curgus and Numa are looking at the proper 
and perfect Code of Laws for a mixt people, 
the firft example of which was glarioufly 
fhewn by Lord Baltimore and his Roman Ca- 
tholics in Maryland in America; ’tis to 
be regretted, *tis even fcandalous, that fucha 
faé&t thould have been either wilfully or negli- 
gently overlooked by Raynal, Montefquieu, 
and others, On one fide of Baltimore is 
William. Penn, with his Pennfylvanian code, 
which was a worthy copy of that of Mary- 
land ; and on the other fide is M. Aurelius 
and King Alfred, who is affectionately lean- 
ing on the fhoulder of Baltimore. William 
Molyneux, with his celebrated Cafe of Ire- 
land in his hand, is fitting low behind Lycur- 
gus and Numa, and anxioufly looking up to- 
wards Lord Baltimore and his Maryland Code, 
which would have been fo effeftual a remedy 
for the almoft unexampled miferies and diftrac- 
tions of his ill-fated country. Over Molyneux 
is the Hon. Robert Boyle. Juft behind Alfred, 
and in the next print, is the excellent and fo 
juftly celebrated St. Charles Borromeo, Cardi- 
nal and Archbifhop of Milan, Trajan, Titus, 
Peterthe Great of Ruffia, Henry IV. of France, 
Andrea Doria, the Great Scipio, the Pater 
Patrig, Old Cofmo De Medicis, Alexander 
of Macedon, (fee Let, to the Dilettante, 104, 
8vo ed.) Lewis XIV. and Julius II. Boffuet 
Bithop of Meaux, in the group below, with 
one hand leaning over the fhoulder of Origen, 
and the other ftretching to Bifhop Butler, be- 
tween whom are Pafchal- and Antony Ar- 
Nauld, is as it were embracing and fanétion- 
ing the whole, as confiftent with the-Catho- 
lic expofition in his hand. Of the Angel

Carles I.-Colbert, Francis I. and the illuf- 
thus Roman M. Agrippa, range with and 
afear part of tle group of the patrons of art,

Fawell, my dear Sir, and be {ure 
to reember me kindly to your good fa- 
milyand to all friends. Nothing has been 
done the portrait fince Mr. Edward faw it, 
fo tharou cannot have an impreffion ; and as 
to thetter of Lord Buchan to the Society 
of Artefpeéting me, I believe nothing has 
been de in it, at leaft as far asl know. it 
Mr. Barrys 107 
was a matter not proper for me to enqitire 
after, or to fay much about it ; but it is very 
pouible, that if it produces no good, it rnay 
however be very effectual in. working the 
contrary, for { find by daily experience that 
the increafing celebrity which illuftrious 
ftrangers (as well as the daily vifitants of 
this town from the country) fo generoufly 
beftow on my works, andfometimes on my-= 
felf, does but add new rancour and fuel ta the 
raging, diabolical, fhamelefs perfecution of 
the concealed, though ever a¢tive mifcreants 
emifiaties of the cabal, But let me have 
done with ufelefs complainings! There is 
hardly a morning that I go down to open the 
windows, that does not difcover fome new 
piece of rafcality, that had. been pra@ifed 
under the cover of nogturnal darkaefs, in or- 
der to give the houfe fuch an appearance ag 
will make one’s acquaintance (or thofe whafe 
curiofity might be excited from public fame, 
which is fo generoufly circulated in the Lon- 
don and other ufeful publications, which 
fpread and generalize information) afhamed 
to ftop and knock at the door.. Every things 
isto be apprehended in the cafe of a man fa 
infulated, in a neighbourhood of poor neceffie 
tous people, and-who, from the fear of cored 
ruption, dares not to keep a fervant, even if 
he was able to afford the expence of it,which- 
cannot now be the cafe, with increafed taxes, 
and after the lofs of the annual profeffional - 
falary of 30]. now sol. which he had fo lg 
borioufly earned, and with a powerful exten- 
five combination, animated by a zeal and in~ 
duftry which far outgoes the efforts of cold 
or convenient friendfhips, and always ready 
to prevent him in any little profeffional emo- 
luments. However, whil& God Almighty 
permits it, duty requires~ our refignation and 
chearful acquiefcence. I fhall, therefore, to 
the utmoft of my ability, goon with the 
ardent endeavours of producing new matter 
for the entertainment of the public, if not to 
the extent of my wifhes, yet to the extent of 
my power. Again farewell, 
Your’s affuredly, 
James Barry.
