that. he thought painters of eftablithed re-

there ought to be every opportunity given

We have not room to particularize many 
of the produéticns moit deferving of no- 
tice: but we cannot omit mentioning 2 
beautiful pi&ure by Daniel, reprefenting 
one of the Eafern religious ceremonies 3 
the figures confift of a number of cailes, 
or tribes of Indians, in their grand cere- 
monial dreffes, and have a novel and mag- 
nificent appearance. A picture of a 
Norfe bathing her Infant, is, like other 
produftions of this artift, which we have 
formerly noticed, an addrefs to the mind, 
and affords another proof of the edlenes 
and tafte of the painter. Sir William 
Beechey, Mr. Opie, Mr. Shee, &c.' &c. 
have as ufual feveral fine portraits. 
Mr. Elmes, who laft year exhibited a 
large drawing of the Temple of Funo, from 
Virgil, has. made a defign on the fame 
maonificent feale, reprefenting the Trz- 
uimphal entry of the Emperor Conftantius 
(the father of Conftantine the Great) into 
Rome. In this, the archite€ture is re- 
ftored from Piranefi, Vitruvius, Paladio, 
and others, and is as correctly what it 
originally was, as accurate meafurements 
from its prefent ruins, combined with con- 
fequent deduétions, can make it. We 
underfland it to be the firft of a feries of 
of defigns from the Roman hiftory, upon 
the plan of reprefenting accurately the 
buildings of ancient Rome. 
Mr. Raphael Smith has feveral por- 
traits, which have a ftrong refemblance of 
the originals from whom they are deli- 
neated ; ard his daughter, Mifs Emma 
Smith, has five miniature portraits; one 
of then j is that of Mrs. Crefpieny, fo well 
known in the faflrionable world, and ano- 
ther, Mifs Duncan, in the charaéter of 
Lady Teazle. 
Engravings from theatrical portraits 
have of late formed a prominent feature 
among the publications of the month. 
We have, among others, another of 
Mr. WH. W. Betty, which is announced as 
she fef and only Original, in the Poffefiion of 
S. Leicefier Parker, Ejg. painted by 8. Nerth- 
sete, Ejg. R. A. and engraved by Ff. Ward. 
This portrait is certaioly a refemblance, 
but it is too hardly marked, and what, is 
not often feen in thefe cafes, the boy is 
much handiomer than his picture. ~It is 
extremely yell engraved, in mezactinto,

The pi€ture from which this portrait is - 
‘engraved is from the pencil of a you

time in Paris, we believe (but are not cer-

ipirited lively portrait, well engraved, in

Let it not be fuppofed that portraits 
are confined to the heroes and heroines 
who have excelled their competitors on 
the ftage—horfes who have outftripped 
their competitors in the field obtain the
