the Poffeffion of W. Gilpin, Efg.. MM. A. Shee, 
pinxt. Engraved and publifbed by G. Clint. 
It is fearcely neceflary tu fay of a pic-

portrait; and we can add to this praife, 
that the print, which is in the mezzotinto 
ftyle, is weil engraved.

the Louvee, by P. P. Rubens. W. Leney

The principal figure bears fome refem- - 
blance to that of Count Ugolino, in Sir 
Jothua Reynoilds’s piéture, but is in every 
refpect interior ; compared together, they 
form avery (trong contratt of the different 
effects produced by a good ora bad tafte, 
on a very fine fubjeét. The engraving, 
which is in ftroke, is hard and dry, 
A fubfeription has commenced, under 
the patronage of the Society for the En- 
couragement of Arts, to procure an ane 
nuity for that excellent artift Mr. Barry. 
A more fit at of munificence could not 
well be fubmitted to the public. Had 
Mr. Barry, inftead of cultivating the 
higher branches of his art, purfued the 
more mechanic and lucrative, he mut 
have attained wealth as weil as eminence. 
A man of Mr. Barry’s genius, who has 
produced works that do honour to the 
Britifh fchool, has a fair claim to the li. 
berality of his countrymen ; and we have 
no doubt but that fuch a provifion will 
be made as will enable him to purfue un- 
embarrafled thofe labours that will add to 
his well-earned reputation in his art,
