Salvator, with a mind elevated by favage 
grandeur, gave us the fort of fierce ban- 
ditti moit likely to lurk in the gloomy 
recefles he delineated ;—while Pouffin 
peopled his claflic f{cenery with beings of 
a fuperior order. But to return to the 
fubjeG&i before us.— This is the fecond 
nuniber, and confifts of twenty prints, en- 
graved from drawings of Claude; eighteen 
of which are-in the pofleffion of W. P. 
Knight, Efq. and two in the pofleffion of 
Mr. Alderman Hibbert. 
The feries of the prefent number, being 
continued from the laft, begins with No. 
21, and ends with No. 40. To enter 
into a minute critique upon each is not 
neceffary. Suffice it to fay, that they 
are generally feleted from the moft agree- 
able {cenery that the artift could find, and 
are evidently the emanations of a mind 
that fought for and delineated the ame- 
nities of nature with peculiar felicity and 
tafte; and to thofe whe have fimilar dif- 
pofitions, his defigns are more immedi- 
ately addrefied. We cannot help noticing 
a few: No. 23 is a very beautiful f{cene, 
with a Temple, &c. No. 31 confifts of 
various Trees, without figures: in this 
the forms are uncommonly elegant; but 
it wants effect. In No. 34 is a female 
figure, which brought to our recolleétion 
many of the female figures of Angelica 
Kauffmann, and confirmed an opinion we 
formerly entertained, that fhe ftudied the 
figures of Claude, as well as thofe of fome 
other painters, with more attention than 
the ftudied nature. However, the happy 
manner in which fhe fometimes introduced 
them, rendered the appropriation perfectly 
fair, and the application was a proof of 
original genius and tafte, which indeed 
the poficfled. No. 38 is a very beautiful 
upright landfcape. With refpe& to the 
engraving of them all, the name of 
Earlom is fo well known, and his merits 
fo properly eftimated, that it is only ne- 
ceffary to fay, they are worthy ot the 
artift. 
The fale of the tickets for the Shakef- 
peare Lottery has gone on fo rapidly, that 
there feems little doubt, but that the 
tickets now remaining will be very foon 
fold. 
Al new and improved Map of Exrope, from the 
beft Foreign Surveys, Gc. Compiled by Fofeph 
Enouy, Geographer, and publifbed by Laurie 
and Whittle, Fleet-ftreet, May 12, 1804. 
This c2pital and very large Map is 
compofed of four fheets; and, from the 
prefent fituat’on of Europe, mutt be pe- 
culiarly interefting, as it feems very ne- 
ceffary, at this eventful period, to mark 
Monthly Retrofped? of the Fine Arts. 
{ Sept. T, 
thofe boundaries which the overwhelining 
ambition of France has fo much altered ; 
and where, at this time, their great 
defpot fits brooding over a map, with a 
pair of fe.flors in his hand, cutting out 
provinces, principalities, and kingdoms, 
and retaining or diftributing them accord- 
ing to his imperial fancy. From the abi- 
lities of Mr, Enouy, we have every reaion 
io fuppofe that the geography is correét, 
and it is very carefully and well en- 
graved. 
Among many other whimfical produc- 
tions of Mr. Giliay, he has publithed, 
what he calls, A long Pull, a firong Pull, 
and a Pull altogether. It reprefents the 
popular candidate for Middlefex drawn 
intriunph from Brentford by a number 
of his triends, whom the artift has de 
graded to the characters of chimney- 
{weepers, blackfmiths, &c. yet he has 
ftill retained fuch a likenefs that they 
are ealily known. Mr. Mainwaring 
and his fupporters, compofed of well- 
known chara€ters, are introduced in the 
{ame print, 
View of the River Thames, the Cities of London 
and Wefiminfter, with Part of the Royal Hof- 
pital and adjacent Buildings; taken from 
Greenwich Park, 
Jukes, from a Drawing by F. F. Sarjent, 
and infcribed to that Patron and Promoter of 
Arts, Manufa&ures, and Commerce, Matthew 
Bolton, Efg. 
This large and well engraved View of 
the two great Cities of London and Weft- 
misfter, is taken from Greenwich Hill ; 
which, confidered in every point of view, 
is, perhaps, the beft fi:uation from which 
it could have been taken. The diftance 
being fo great, the fpace fo extenfive, and 
the cbjceéts to be reprefented fo numerous, 
it is neceffarily reduced to a fmall {cale ; 
but fmall as the fcale muft be, it gives a 
perfect idea of the places intended, and 
the principal public buildings are obvious 
on the firft glance. The whole is pice 
ture(qgue; and, from the fubjeét of the 
delineation, muft excite and gratify the 
curiohty of many of the inhabitants of 
the metropolis. It is publifhed both plain 
and in colours; and, in the latter efpeci- 
ally, has a rich and fplendid effect.
