Flights of Fancy, or three Divertimentos for the

These pleasant little pieces, though 
they possess no disimguishing claim to 
the title under which they appear, are 
not without indications of a lively imagi- 
nation, and a cultivated judgment, and 
will, we doubt not, attract respectful 
notice. ake 
MONTHLY RETROSPECT OF THE FINE ARTS. 
The Use of all New Prints, and Communications of Articles of Intelligence, are requested. 
The Right Honourable Lord Viscount Cathcart, 
Baron of Grzenock, Knight of the Most Noble 
Order of the Thistle. Painted by John Hopp- 
ner, esq. R, A. engraved by Henry Meyn, and 
published by Boydell and Co. Cheapside. 
T has been the frequent practice of 
artists of great celebrity to make 
spirited and forcible sketches, but to take 
so much pains in the finishing that’ they 
worked away all the spirit. Stuart, the 
American painter, used to say of a great 
painter from his own country, that he 
made better sketches than any man in 
England; but by acting as the bear 
does by its cubs, and trying te lick them 
into shape, he polished away both force 
and spirit, and rendered them vapid. 
This print is not hable to such an ob- 
jection ; it is in a forcible and peculiarly 
fine style. It properly forms a part of a 
very fine series, which Messrs. Boydell 
have just published,representing the City 
of Copenhagen, with the disposition of 
the English Fleet before it; from draw- 
ings made on the spot, by Captain Cock- 
burn of the royal artillery. 
Plate I. represents a View of the Island 
of Amak, with the coast of Sweden, and 
the advanced squadron under Sir Samuel 
Hood, in the distance, &c. &c. 
Plate IL and III. Views of the City 
ef Copenhagen, taken from the Palace 
ef Fredericksburg, embracimg the whole 
of the city, and shewing the situation of 
the British batteries, &c. :

Fleet and Transports, &e. 
Plate V. View of the Castle of Cro- 
nenburg, with the British Fleet before it; - 
together with the Castle of Helsenburg, 
&c, shewing the entrance into the 
Sound, &c. .

by M.R. Pollard, and finished in colours 
to imitate the drawings.

inches long.

The Coast of Zealand, and indeed the 
whole scenery which these engravings 
represent, is universally admitted to rank 
among the most picturesque and beau- 
tiful marine views in Europe, and the 
prints are admirably executed.

T. Holloway, historical engraver to his Ma- 
jesty, sculpt. Published for I. Holloway, 
Hampton-Court. 
We some time since announced, that 
Mr. Holloway had begun to engrave 
Rapbael’s Cartoons. This was a very 
arduous undertaking, and demanded 
talents of more than common magnitude 
to execute it in a proper manner. In 
this, which is the first plate of the series, 
this artist has displayed a proof that he 
possesses these talents. ‘The engraving, 
is a very elaborate performance, and 
must be classed as a very fine plate, 
which will greatly tend to rescue the 
country from the disgrace of over- 
whelming the arts with such a /mul- 
titude of garish, yet slovenly furniture 
prints, to the reproach of good taste.
