paired and enlarged it in the reign of Hen- 
ry II. when it was called the Honour of 
Berkeley. In the catile is a {mall room 
in which King Edward II. is fuppofed to 
have been murdered. The ani:quated 
appearance of the furniture and hangings, 
which are of {carlet cloth embroidered with 
black and yellow, and the room dimly Lit 
with one fmail window, gave a fombre ef- 
fect, which, aflociated with the recollec- 
tion of this cruel tranfa&tion, imprefses the 
mind with horror. The picture(que ap- 
pearance of the whole, added to its confe- 
quences ig an hittorical point of view, ren- 
d-rs it a proper fubje&t for this work. 
Cirencefler, inferibed to Lord Bathurft. 
This view of a bufy town, with a mul- 
titude of figures in the ftreets, forms an 
agreeable contraft to the {cenery of the five 
preceding prints. 
Mr. Northeote has painted, and Mr, 
Syers has engraved and publifhed a large 
print entithd My Dog ; which is intended 
as a fort of companion to-a print of a 
hor{e’s head, which we fome months fince 
noticed, painted by, Mr. Guy Head, and 
entitled My Hor/e. 
Some of our readers may recollect that 
at the time of the exhibition of the Mil- 
ton Gallery, Mr. Fufelt announced the 
intention of having the pidures engraved. 
The plan has been fomewhat altered and 
propola.s are now publifhed for 4 Series of 
Prints, from Milton, Shakefpeare and 
Dante, to be engraved by M. Haughton, 
after paintings by Henry Fufeli, Efq. 
Ri Ax andkiP .P. 
The profpectus ftates that the plan has 
been enlarged to avoid that monotony of 
imagery which is infeparable from the 
perpetual recurrence of the few agents in 
Paradife Loft ; but the intention of the 
artilts is to confine the number of the pre- 
fent fele€tion to fifty prints. They will 
be publifhed by fubfcription, and not more 
than two plates delivered at one time to 
each fubf{criber ; from whom no money 
will be required until they receive each a 
. pair of prints; nor will the fubfcribers be 
hsld to an obligation of perfevering tn 
their fub{cription tothe whole of the work. 
The price of the fmall plates will be ros. 
6d. that of the large ones, will very fel- 
dom exceed a guinea. The firft hundied 
fubfcribers will be entitled to proof-im- 
prefhons at the ufual price of the prints. 
Twenty-feven of the plates are already 
finifhed, and moit of the reft are ina ftate 
of forwardnefs. Among thole ready for 
delivery to fubfcribers is that from the 
very fine picture of the Vifion of the La- 
zar-houfe; and that of Satan calling up 
Monthly Retrofpeé? of the Fine Arts. 539

Fairy Mab, Lubbar Fiend. Melancholy

Dream. Usgolino. 
The very great ecagernefs with which 
the tneatrica) wold have every where 
crowded to fee the young Rofcius, and the 
wif, which many perfons exprefled to have 
a coriect refemblance of this extraordinary 
phenomenon, induced Mr. George Bul- 
Jock, the fculptor, of Liverpool, to begin 
a buft of his head ; for which purpo‘e, 
befides the boy having fat to him feveral 
times, he has taken an exact meafurement 
of his face, {> that thofe admuvers of the 
Tragic Mufe, who have not ‘een him, may 
very foon have a correct refemblance of 
his face. 
Mr. Opie is engaged in painting a por- 
trait of this theatrical luminary ; and Mr. 
Northcote has painted a large hifiorical 
picture, in which the Mufe is reprefented 
in the act of leading the little Hero to the 
Temple of Fame. | Befides thefe, there are 
{mall portraits, and caricatures without 
number, in which he is introduced. In 
one of thefe, he is on horfeback, and Mr. 
Kemble behind him with the motto, ** If 
two men ride on a borfe, one of them mujt 
be behind.” 
Mr. Ackermann has publifhed another, 
entitled Theatrical Leap-Frog, ia which 
heis playing at leap-fog, over Mr. Kem- 
ble’s back, the lat:er exclaiming, ‘* Alas? 
ist come to this! ah, woe is me, feeing 
what I have feen, to fee what I fee! Ob 
Rofcius!’’ Another is entided M:lpomene 
in the dumps; in this, Mrs. Siddons, Mr. 
Kemble, and Mr. Harris form a theatrical 
trio. 
Mr. Freebairn’s View of the Temple of 
Delphi, and the fcenery in that neighbour- 
hood, is finifhed. It was taken from a 
very fine fketch by an Italian artift, and 
though fome poetic liberties are taken with 
the furrounding fcenery it is a very pic- 
turefque and claffical production. 
Ruffel, the. crayon painter, has com- 
pleted his picture of the Map of the Moon, 
which has occupied his clofe attention for 
upwards of thirty years, It is an immentely 
large picture. 
At a meeting of the Council of the 
Royal Academy, held the latter end of 
laft month, Mr. Thomas Philips received 
his diploma, he having been elected az 
Affaciate of the Royal Academy the fifth 
day of November Jatt. 
The name of Grignion has been long 
known to the admirers of the Fine Arts.
