This is an extremely fine, portrait, but 
the features would have had a ftronger re- 
femblance tothelate Chancelior of the Ex- 
chequer if they had not been quite fo round. 
The eyes alfo, though very well marked, 
arerather out of drawing, the left eye 
being fomething lower than the right. 
Though it gives effect to the pifture, yet 
there is a degree of affcétation in confin- 
ing the light fo entirely to the head ; it 
borders upon a fpot, and gives fome idea 
of a glow-worm in acoal-pit. The print

{treet, with the following explanation 
of it:— | 
It confitts of a coloffal ftatue of Britan- 
nia, in the aét of crowning with a wreath 
of laurel the buft of the General, which is 
placed on the tomb: Britannia is attended 
by a figure emblematical of Senfibility, 
to indicate the general feeling which took 
place at the favage treatment that hero’s 
remains received. Senfibility having as 
yet no eftablifhed emblem in {culpture, is 
here reprefented by a youthful female fi- 
gure, holding inher hand a fenfitive plant. 
To the right of the laft-named figure is 
the Genius of Britain, prefenting an olive 
branch, in allufion to the object of her ex- 
ertions in war, viz. a juft and honourable 
peace. 
Some military trophies are placed on 
the tomb, which is enriched by an alto 
relievo reprelentation of Britannia in the 
act of protecting Liberty, who has fled 
to her tor fuccour from Anarchy, emble- 
matized by a maniac figure with a lighted 
fire-brand in his hand; and from Hypo- 
crify, here pointed outby a female figure, 
who is holding in her right hand a mafk, 
de(criptive of a fimiling and amiable coun- 
tenance, with which the is concealing her 
real features, expretiive of the moft fero- 
cious and horrid barbarity.

HIS glee, which has been fung at 
Mefirs. Harrifon, Bartleman, and 
Greatorex’s vocal concerts, with the 
higheit and mott defesved applaute, is 
greatly honourable to Dr. Clarke's tale 
and {cience. The words are dilpofed in 
the ftyle of a dialogue, from winch re- 
fults the happieft and moft forcible effect; 
and the combination of the parts exhi- 
bits much judgment and contrivance. 
We are, we mutt con'efs, fo pleafed, on 
the whole, with th‘s effort of the Do&tor’s 
mufe, that we hope the public will be 
more frequently obliged with produc- 
tions from the fame fource.
