"Edwin Landseer's masterpiece, A Scene at Bolton Abbey in the Olden Time,'-the most perfect picture that the British school has produced-is engraved in mezzotint by Samuel Cousins, in a style as perfect as the painting itself. No one but Cousins could have achieved such a plate, and it is his masterpiece. Mezzotint, though on steel, does not yield very many prints: those who are anxious to secure a fine impression, should be early in their application."-SPECTATOR. (2383)

&c. &c. as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. Painted by JOHN LILLEY, Esq.; Engraved in mezzotinto by JAMES SCOTT, Size, 16 inches by 21 high. Prints, 125.

"It is the most interesting representation of the Duke which has ever come to our knowledge."-TIMES.

"It is a true image of the greatest man of his time and country, in private life, and will, we are sure, find a place in every collection of the empire."-JOHN BULL.

Mr. Boys has the pleasure to announce that a wholelength Portrait of His Grace, from the same Picture, is now in progress of engraving, which will very shortly be

completed. Size, 19 inches by 29 high. Price to Subscribers, Prints, £1. 1s.; Proofs, £2. 2s.; First Proofs, before the Letters, £3. 38.

Early application for Proofs is requested, as the number taken will be limited, and many persons were disappointed in obtaining Proofs of the Half-Length, from their being all so rapidly disposed of, in consequence of the universal estimation of this Portrait of His Grace. (2384)

"One of the most attractive prints we have seen for a long time is called 'The Sunshine of Love.' A girl is reading a letter from her lover, with a sweet expression of pleasure and interest in her face. The fair reader is absorbed in the contents of the letter, and not conscious of herself, as most pictorial heroines appear to be; this is the charm of the picture. The mezzotint is by Samuel Cousins. The transparent purity of the flesh tints, and their delicate gradations of light and shadow, are such as no other mezzotinter could produce."-SPECTATOR.

It has long been considered a reproach to this country, that the eminence of its painters is neither so extensively nor so justly known as it deserves to be, and that their works (whether of pure fancy, of pathos, or of humour,) have not been sufficiently diffused by engraving. work, containing a selection of the finest productions of the British pencil, so collated as to impress the public generally with a correct idea of the invention, the feeling, and the power of the British school, has hitherto been published.

Numerous splendid engravings of some fine works of our artists, honourable alike to painting, to engraving, and to our country, have appeared separately and incidentally; but to many, these, from their size and price, are unattainable. The beautiful productions of both arts, which decorate our annual publications, cannot, as small book plates, render justice to the expression which the painter has given to the subject, nor can they convey to foreigners a just estimate of the talent which produced them: by these works our artists are raised no higher in their opinion than as skilful illustrators of books.

In this publication of the Gallery of British Art, it is intended to produce a work truly national, in which a selection from the most beautiful pictures of British painters, commencing with the era of Sir J. Reynolds, will be engraved, in the finest line manner, upon a size nearly 12 inches by 9, which scale will not only enable the eminent historical and landscape engravers, whom they have already engaged, to preserve the expression and refinement of the originals, but will also put the work within the reach of those who, with limited means, have, from nature or acquirement, a feeling for such productions.

Messrs. Finden are exceedingly gratified in stating, that several distinguished patrons of art have opened their galleries to them for this adventurous undertaking, and that the President and Members of the Royal Academy have, in the most kind and liberal manner, promised their support and co-operation. Annexed is their testimony of approval:

"Feeling that the statements set forth in the prospectus

FINDEN'S ROYAL GALLERY OF BRITISH ART-continued.

to 'Finden's Gallery of British Art' are in unison with our views of the subject, and believing, from the specimens we have seen, that it is calculated to diffuse, through the medium of line engraving, a knowledge of the best English modern pictures, we cheerfully add our testimony of approbation. "MARTIN ARCHER SHEE,

"President of the Royal Academy."

Thus, with ready access to the best productions of native talent, the cordial and united efforts of every artist, added to their own professional experience, combined with a determination to spare no expense, Messrs. Finden feel assured of producing a work that shall merit the patronage of an enlightened public.

It is proposed to issue three parts in the course of the year, each part to contain three engravings. The size They will be delivered in a portfolio, accompanied by such will be about 12 inches by 9, sufficiently large for framing. explanatory letter-press as may be considered necessary.

Subscription lists are now opened, and the strictest attention will be paid to the delivery of copies in the order in which they are subscribed for..

The very popular reception that these papers have already received by the public press, and which has already considerably increased the sale of the "MONTHLY MAGAZINE," has induced the Proprietor to publish them in Monthly Parts, similar to those of the "Pickwick Club." He feels assured, that articles so amusing, and at the same time illustrative of the Character and Manners of our Continental neighbours, will meet with very general encouragement.

"If Pickwick Abroad' were not a work built upon another man's foundation,' we should say it was one of the cleverest and most original productions of the modern British press. *** We rise from the first number, with only the regret that Charles Dickens himself had not written it."-THE SUN, Feb. 1.

"We have seldom had the pleasure of reviewing a more ingenious, elegant, and at the same time philosophical and useful work. It is well worthy of public attention as a specimen of art, independently of its merits as an original and eminently useful auxiliary to the study of the most important branches of human knowledge."

NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE, March.

"Mr. Seeley has published a highly-useful series of twenty-one maps, with historical illustrations by Mr. Quin. They are on the same scale, and successively point out, from the creation to the year 1828, the progress of geographical discovery, the rise and decay of nations and empires, and their political changes; so that, by merely glancing the eye on any map, we discover the actual state of the world at its date; and by comparison with any other, the alterations which have occurred, every place being in the same relative spot in the successive plates, and the tints and colouring being significant, and connected with the accompanying text, which contains a well-condensed syllabus of universal history. We know of no publication which forms a more valuable and interesting companion for the historical and geographical student, or for the instruction of young persons."-CHRISTIAN OBSERVER, January.

"It forms a pendant to "Confessions of an Elderly Gentleman," by the same fair hand, and fully equals if not exceeds its predecessor. There are a grace and elegance about both works which cannot fail to attract and captivate."-JOHN BULL.

"A more perfect moral anatomization of the female heart has seldom been exhibited in any work of fiction. The serious passages are agreeably relieved by some amusing sketches of the aristocracy of by-gone times.... If the confessions of the Lady' do not exhibit so much variety as those of the Gentleman,' they are infinitely superior in the depth of their interest, and in the excellence of the lessons they inculcate.... There is scarcely a fashionable party in which their respective merits are not the theme of conversation; and the individual who does not evince some knowledge of them will certainly not be suspected of intimacy with the frequenters of the upper circles."-MORNING POST.

"No actual confessions, whosoever the autobiographer might be, ever interested us more; nor were any ever made that proffer a finer and truer lesson to humanity, to women especially. Vanity and pride in women were never laid bare by a firmer or gentler hand....Immeasurably superior to the Confessions of an Elderly Gentleman.'' COURT JOURNAL.

"The 'Confessions of an Elderly Gentleman' is a deServedly popular work, but its present companion is, we think, superior in most respects."- LITERARY GAZETTE. "The tale throughout is written with ease and elegance."-ATHENÆUM, (2416)
