The claffic tafte of Mr. Freebsirn we 
have had more than one occafion to no- 
tice ; it was formed upon a diligent ccn- 
temptation of the moft pure fpecimens of 
fine ait, during his refidence in Italy, and 
we are happy to fee that he retains it in 
his own country. Thefe two fets of 
prints are eminently picturefque, and muf 
afford great pieafure to the connoiffeur. 
The latter views may be particusarly re- 
commended to thole ladtes er gentlemen 
who fiuidy defign; es copying them ~ill 
be found hi ghly wefel in facilitating their 
pregrefs in that elegant art. 
Mr. Ackermann has publifhed a very 
pleatant little print, drawn and engraved 
by Huet Villiers, reprefenting FANNY, a 
cog of King Charles’s treed, a defeend- 
ant of Fisra, brought up at the King’s 
Court, and his grest favourite. To this 
is added a very pathetic little flory of the 
fympathy of a quadruped of this race.

This, like Mr. Gilray’s other produc- 
tions, has a great deal of whim: it re- 
prefents Bonaparte in the clouds, prefent- 
ing his terms to the King, who is mo- 
delily requefted to deftroy his fhipping, 
give up his colonies, and accept of fuch 
conditions as the diGtator ; may think pro- 
per to prefcribe. The King is placed clofe 
to a ftatueof Mr. Pitt.

_Thefe fubje&ts are glorious to the na~ 
tion, and peculiarly incerefting to that 
hardy and enterprizing clafs who pafsa 
Jarge portion of their Pie on the ocean, 
and are parties in fuch memorable fcenes 
as are here delineated. Fortunately for 
the country, to which they are not oniy 
the beft defence, but the higheft honour, 
the number of this mecitorious clafs is 
confide able; but to the mere landman, 
unacquainted with naval uae and 
conhdered as works of art, the marime 
paintings of the prefent day (like the por 
traits of sace-hoi fes) bear too great a re- 
femblance to each cther. 
Breoking, and tome others, managed 
thefe things differently, and by their

Among the numerous fine callcligue
