1808.] 
The British Gallery of Engravings, Forster. 
The second number of this work is 
lately published, and contains, 
4. The Flemish Cottage, from Isaac Ostade. 
F. Fittler sculpt. 
This plate is engraved with great neat- 
ness, and most intense labour, and has 
very great merit; but from the etchings 
of Ostade, it is evident that he had a very 
different idea of engraving from the ar- 
tists of this day. Breadth of light, and 
strength of character, were with him es- 
sential ; but now, we perpetually hear it 
said, thatthe lights must be subdued; and 
this, by bringing the whole down to one 
principle, inevitably produces somewhat 
that must at least border on insipidity. 
2. Salvator Rosa, se ipse pinxit. Neagle 
sculpt. 
In this we do not find so much of the 
savage grandeur of Salvator Rosa, as we 
could wish; and we are fearful it will be 
found that it has a hardness, which is not 
pleasing to the eye, that has been formed 
upon many of the popular engravings of 
the present day. 
3. Samuel and Eli, from Rembrandt. Fittler 
sculpt. 
This, like many of the works of Rem- 
brandt, is a vulgar design: but Rem- 
brandt’s designs are remarkable for the 
excellence of the clara scuro, which un- 
luckily is not transferred to this print. 
4. Holy Family, Morillio. F.. Heath sculpt. 
This print hasan unfinished effect, and 
we were sorry to see some deficiencies in 
drawing, both which circumstances struck 
us more forcibly from happening to have 
on the table, at the time we were in- 
specting it, a porte-folio, with several of 
Mr. Heath’s smaller engravings, pasted 
in it, as exemplars of the art, and models 
of taste and elegance. 
' Mr. Heury Richter, of Newman-street, 
Report of Diseases. 
2st 
whose productions we have had frequent 
occasion to notice with approbation, hag 
published a portrait of Sir Francis Bur- 
dett, which is deemed by very good 
judges to be in every respect the best that 
has been engraved. The picture is an 
extremely striking likeness, and the print, 
which is in the chalk manner, dees am- 
ple justice to the original. 
Barker’s Panorama, Strand. 
Mr. Barker, a few days since, annoutt- 
ced, that the View of Oxford, which has 
for some time been exhibited in the larger 
circle, will continue open till farther ao- 
tice ; and he has added to it, what at the 
present moment is likely to interest and 
attract a great number of people, that 1s, 
a View of the City of Copenhagen, pata- 
ted from a drawing, made by Captain 
Fyers, Aid de Camp to General Sir Tho- 
mas Bloomfield, commander of the royal 
artillery on the late expedition. 
Of the general effect of this we will 
speak, when we have more room. 
Mr. Gilzay, who seizes upon the ficat- 
ing subjects of the day, and treats them 
with a humourous whimsicality and effect, 
that no man, except the inimitable He- 
garth, ever equalled, has published a set 
of seven prints, which he has baptized, 
Effects of the Weather, exemplified ia the 
following subjects. Windy weather 
Sad sloppy. Raw. Very slippy. Fias 
bracing. Dreadful hot. Delicious. 
Mr. William Savage, of Bedford Bury, 
has announced his intention of publishing 
a View of the elegant Gethic remains of 
the east end of Howden church, in the 
Last Riding of the county of York. The 
drawing by Webster, is taken from @& 
sketch made on the spot. and the en- 
graving will be executed in aquatinta, by 
Lewis, and coloured. in imitation of the 
drawing. The size of the plate will be 
eighteen inches by fourteen.
