ters, at three guineas and a half for each 
copy, to be paid on delivery. At the 
time when thefe terms were fixed upon, 
it was intended to engrave feventeen 
piates, but it has fince been found that, 
inftead of feventeen, they muft unavoid- 
ably be extended to upwards of thirty. 
Mr. Smith, conceiving himfelf bound by 
the terms of his original propolal, does 
not raife the price to any fubferiber who 
fhall honour him with his name before 
publication, though, to indemnify himfelf 
for the additional expence, he muft raile 
the price to thofe who apply for it after- 
wards, to fix guineas. 
Moit of. the paintings and ornaments 
of the Chapel have been drawn and en- 
graven by Mr. Smith; of the reft, fome 
have been dvawn and engraved by other 
artiits; all have proceeded with every 
affiduity compatible with excellence, and 
this delay has enabled the artifis to add 
to the number of the plates, and finith 
them more highly, and given opportunity 
for furnifhing more intelligence than could 
have been procured, if the work had ap- 
peared earlier. By this, the publither 
has alfo been able to exhibit a fpecimen, 
. (the firt he believes with which any book 
has been adorned,) of a method of pro- 
ducing prints, not from copper, or any 
other metal plates, but from a ftone on 
which the drawings have been made; and 
of this method a fufficient defcription 
will be given. In order to add to the 
variety, fome of the cuts are executed in 
aquatinta, others in mezzotinto, and 
ethers have been engraven on iron and 
fteel,

This plate is infcribed to the Society 
for tae Encouragement of Arts, Manufac- 
tures and Commerce, who laft year judged 
it worthy of their fecond prize. It is 
very well engraved in ftroke, and, confi- 
dered as the production of a young artift, 
has confiderable merit; but it is not 
characteriftic of the ftyle of Sir Jofhua; 
there is a mezzotinto print from the fame 
picture, which is in that refpeét {uperior.

A new and fuperb work, from pit-

of the Eatt Indies, particularly the newly

The Horfe painted from the Life by William 
Ward. 
The picture of the Review, by Sir 
William Beechey, we noticed in a former 
Retrofpect with a praife to which moft 
of the productions of Sir William are 
eminently entitled. Mr. Hopkins has 
here copied the figure of the King, and 
Mr. Ward has copied the horfe ; and it 
forms a fpirited and good mezzccinto, 
and, as a print, has very confiderable 
merit, though, as a picture, we do not 
think of it quite fo highly. The body 
of the Sovereign is awkardly cut by the 
fhadow under the left arm: the horfe is 
painted with a laborious minutenefs ; but 
.the great general outline is rather feeble ; 
and the legs are lame, and the hoofs io- 
correct.
