scene of cockney mortification humorously treated.--An unlucky Londoner
and his tawdrily-dressed wife, appeared to have toiled up the hill, with
their family of four children, to a friend's cottage, the door of which
is opened by an old housekeeper, with "Master's out," while the host
himself is peeping over the parlour window-blind at the disappointment
of his would-be visitors. The annoyance of the husband at the
inhospitable answer, and the fatigue of his fine wife, are cleverly
managed; while the mischievous pranks of the urchin family among the
borders of the flower-garden remind us of the pleasant "Inconveniences
of a Convenient Distance." The colouring is most objectionable; though
the flowers and fine clothes are very abundant.

194. Falls of Niagara. _Wilson._ A sublime picture of this terrific
wonder of the world.

196. Erzelin Bracciaferro musing over Meduna, slain by him for
disloyalty during his absence in the Holy Land. _Fuseli._ A
composition of touching melancholy, such as none but a master-mind could
approach.

199. The late R.W. Elliston, Esq. One of _Harlow's_ best portraits:
the likeness is admirable, and the tone well accords with Elliston's
unguent, supple expression.

204. Portrait of Dr. Wardrope. _Raeburn._ This is one of the
artist's finest productions: it is clever, manly, and vigorous--painting
to the life, without the flattering unction of varnished canvass. The
fine, broad, bold features of the sitter were excellently adapted to the
artist's peculiar powers.
