PRESIDENT WEST having finish compositions, hite, Y, landscape, ma ed his superior picture of the Judgment of Christ, is preparing to exhibit it at the original rooms of the Academy in Pall Mall. It will be enriched with a splendid frame, carved after the model of the gate of the Temple of Theseus at Athens. The rooms will also be hung with some sketches and minor pictures of this unrivalled painter. Mr. CRAIG has opened a unique, rich, and tasteful, exhibition of his own draw. ings in water-colours, in Lower Brook street. He very properly describes this branch of art as native, and the perfection to which he has brought it proves that it is an honour to the country. Mr. Craig has shewn in this collection that water-colours are applicable to every va riety of subject, and in the hands of a man of genius are susceptible of the freedom of execution, boldness of effect, and display of chiaro-scuro, which have usually been considered as exclusive powers of il painting. In this exhibition we find rine subjects, cattle, flowers, portraits, and still life. We have not room to notice particular pictures; but the Servants robbing the Larder, the Cook, the Por trait of Mrs. Howe, and some of the cattle pieces, possess a degree of merit which in this branch of art have never been exceeded. The lovers of Art will be gratified to learn that the patronage and success of SCULPTURE in London is not inferior to that of Painting. In this department we long boasted of a Bacon, and we now have a Flaxman, Bacon junior, Westmacot, Nollekins, Garrard, Chantrey, and some others, whose labours are successively adorning our cathedrals and public build ings. Mr. FLAXMAN, whose monument of Lord Mansfield, and illustrations of the Lord's Prayer, are master-pieces of British art, and whose entire works indicate so exquisite a taste and so perfect a knowledge of the antique, is at this time engaged upon a noble statue of Sir Jo2 Y 2 shua SHUA REYNOLDS, for the cathedral of St. Paul's; and another of LORD NELSON, for the same mausoleum, which we praise enough when we observe that it is worthy of its subject. He has also nearly completed, for the cathedral of Exeter, a beautiful monument of that good and able man the late General Simcoe; and a statue of a colossal size of the brave, but unfortunate, Sir John Moore, for the city of Glasgow, of which he was a native. Among Mr. FLAXMAN'S smaller works may be named a shield of Achilles, after the description of Homer, of which he has recently finished two or three compartments. We have already stated that those eminent booksellers, Messrs. LONGMAN, HURST, and Co. have appropriated a department of their business to the unique purpose of collecting rare and splendid books. They have accordingly fitted up in the Gothic style, and with much taste and elegance, a suite of apartments on their premises in Paternoster Row, in which such articles are deposited, in number and value beyond any other collection of a similar kind. We have conseived that the lovers of bibliographical curiosities will be gratified to be informed, from time to time, in regard to the most remarkable articles in this assemblage; and we purpose therefore occasionally to devote half a column to this object. At this time our notice will be justified by the value and importance of an illustrated edition of STRUTT'S DICTIONARY of ENGRAVINGS which they have lately pur chased. It consists of 37 vols. in imp. folio, Russia, gilt leaves, and joints; and con. tains 8000 prints, produced by the artists mentioned in the work, in all the various branches of engraving, from the first invention of the art to the present time, many of them unique, and all of them scarce or valuable. To assemble specimens of every known print of the most eminent engravers, employed an industrious collector nearly 30 years, and the cost of a work containing 8000 prints, independant of the labour, must have been enormous. Messrs, L. and Co. offer it at the price of 2000, which although a large sum for a single work, yet as it must ever remain without a rival, it is a prize worthy of being possessed by those who indulge in luxuries of this kind. The Missionary Society, which continues its labours with zeal and perseverance, has published the report of a Mr. Campbell, one of its South African en voys, by which it appears that he has paid the first European visit to a large town in the interior, called LATAKKOO. It is ten days journey N.N.E. from Klaar Water, a known missionary settlement, and nearly in latitude 264, and longitude 27 east, and contains about 1500 houses, and 8000 inhabitants. The king's name is Mateebee, and he promised to protect any missionaries which may be sent to him. Mr. C. also acquired information relative to twenty tribes which reside beyond Latakkoo, all of whom speak the same language. The portraits of many distinguished characters of the reign of George III. from the pictures of Sir Joshua Reynolds, are now engraving, and are to be published under the title of Iconographia Reynoldsiana. A work on Egypt, Syria, Asia Minor, and Greece, is in preparation for the press, under the care of Mr. WALPOLE. The materials are taken from unpublished documents, journals, and papers of English travellers, who during a late period have directed their attention to the antiquities, geography, and natural history of those countries. According to the arrangement pursued by the Editor, he has assigned the first place to some remarks on the antiquities of Egypt. These will be found to possess intrinsic value, as they were the result of a patient and laborious survey of the monuments to which they refer. The Theodolite was frequently employed; and the plans and dimensions both of the catacombs of Alexandria, and the pyramids, have been corrected and improved by repeated and rigorous examinations. An account of a journey from Suez to the mountains Horeb, and Sinai, to the rock of Meribah, and to the Jebel el Mokatib, together with some observations on the manners, customs, habits of life, and character of the different classes of inhabitants of modern Egypt, succeed to the remarks on the antiquities of that country. With regard to Syria, the reader will peruse with pleasure the narrative and observa tions of a traveller, whose route, in the year 1802, conducted him from Tripoli to the ruins of Balbek, and onward to Damascus; thence northward by Homs and Hamab, to Aleppo, and through the plain of Antioch, watered by the Orontes, to Alexandretta. Some new and interesting remarks will be found on parts of the extensive region of Anatolia; and in this portion of the work an account is given of some of the cities on the Asiatic side of the Hellespont, which have es caped the curiosity and research of most travellers. A survey will be added of the antiquities and remains upon the Troad 1814.] Literary and Philosophical Intelligence. Troad, without any reference to the supporting or invalidating of any particular theory. This will be succeeded by a narrative of a journey through the plain of Bacramitch up to the summit of Ida. Some full and satisfactory details will be given concerning Lemnos and Andros, two islands of the Archipelago which have been but seldom visited. A collection of Greek inscriptions which have not yet been published, will form a separate chapter; and a dissertation will be appropriated to the discussion of the causes of the gradual decay of the Greek language under the Byzantine sovereigns. Mr. GELL, the topographer of Troy, Ithaca, and Argolis, during his last visit to the plain of Marathon, procured among other valuable remains of antiquity recently found on that interesting spot, two engraved stones, which from the devices are supposed to have belonged to the Persians slain there in the battle so ce-. lebrated in Grecian history. The anxiety of some English travellers to possess antiques of this description, so enhanced the value of these gems, that Mr. Gell could not obtain them under a price amounting to nearly twenty-five guineas each. The conjecture concerning their origin, is corroborated, and their value consequently raised, by the circumstance of four others of a similar kind being found in Persia, by Sir William Ouseley, during his late travels in that country. Among a variety of brass arrow-heads brought also from Persepolis by Sir Wil Jiam Ouseley, some are said to resemble those which have been found on the plain of Marathon. Mr. JOHN GIFFORD, Author of the Life of Pitt, &c. &c. has announced ageneral History of the French Revolution, from its Commencement to the present important era, including a preliminary view of the reign of Louis XVI. and comprehending Annals of Europe for the last twenty-five Years. The author, having long had the composition of this work in contemplation, has collected a vast mass of materials, to enable him to give it that degree of authenticity and interest which are essentially requisite in historical productions. The recent tripaph of the principle of the revolution, in the establishment of a free government, raises the event in the estimation of mankind, and by bringing this great political drama to a happy denouement, renders it a proper subject for the labours of his torians. It is well known that Mr. Gifford has not been an inattentive spectator of these contemporaneous events, and hat -- he is an eloquent writer, no mean qua lifications for the task he has imposed on himself; though complete impartiality, in regard to events which have so violently excited the passions, cannot be expected from any writer of the present genera tion. Mr. Gifford's work is to form three volumes in quarto, two of narrative and one of documents. A new edition is preparing of the Saxon Chronicle, with an English trans lation and notes, by the Rev. J. INGRAM, late Saxon professor in the University of Oxford; to which will be added a new and copious chronological, topographical, and glossarial Index, with a short grammar of the Saxon language, and an accurate and enlarged map of England during the Heptarchy. The work will be published in one volume, royal quarto, as soon as possible. SIR JOHN SINCLAIR, after devoting forty years to the service of his country, has resigned his honorary situation of President of the Board of Agriculture, and is succeeded by the EARL of HARDWICKE. About two years ago he declined, in favour of his son, to become a candidate for his long continued seat in parliament; and has consequently now retired from public life. On such an occasion we cannot let pass the opportunity of expressing our regret, that the stern course of nature has thus deprived the country of the active services of one of those men, whose name and character will always be honourably associated with the times in which we live,-whose philosophical spirit has accelerated the progress of civilization,-and whose labours have tended to improve the social condition of mankind. Of the benefits derived by the country, from the exertions. of Sir John Sinclair, it is impossible to present even a brief enumeration. They are to be found in the extended and inproved cultivation of the soil, and in the consequent increase of the means of subsistence; in new and improved roads joining all parts of the empire; in extensive enclosures; in canals; in fisheries; in improved buildings; in useful machinery; and in all branches of the arts of life. Of several of these, Sir John has been the successful projector, of others the effective promoter, and of many the zealous patron. Nor has his unwearied industry been limited to the executin of single objects, about which some men employ their entire lives; but his mind has expanded from individuality to the great principles of science and social economy. Our libraries, as long as the language 1 endures endures, will attest his comprehensive and patriotie views in the County Sur veys of the Board; in the Statistical Account of Scotland; in the Statute Book and Parliamentary Reports; and in various works on the Revenue, and even on subjects of Health, Longevity, and Polite Literature. If the reign of George III. has been distinguished above that of any sovereign, for the general improvement of the face of his empire, the mind which in a great measure conceived, impelled, and directed this system of improvement, was that of SIR JOHN SINCLAIR. Yet this useful man has always been a mark for those bad passions which are engen. dered by inferior intellects, and the bold. mess of his plans have so often afforded topics for the exercise of inconsiderate wit, and the declamations of prejudice, that his true character will not be generally understood, till its worth is felt in its loss. The mob of mankind, who are misled by the tinsel of military glory, the superficial glitter of eloquence, or the accumulation of great wealth, are incapable of appreciating the silent effects of social improvements; but we confess, that if it were in our choice to select the path of glory which wisdom and the better experience of mankind will consecrate, we should prefer the distinctions arising from the useful and unequivocal career of a SINCLAIR, to any renown attached to the splendid achievements of a BONA PARTE, the fascinating eloquence of a PITT, or the unmeasured wealth of a BA RING. It The laborious work on Philology, in which Mr. TOWNSEND has been many years engaged, is now brought to a conclusion, and ready for the press. forms the second volume of his work on the veracity of Moses as an historian, recording events from the Creation to the Deluge, and subsequent to that great epoch, prior to the dispersion of mankind. Mr. Townsend has examined 3,600 words, all monosyllabic, as being most ancient, and compared the corre sponding expressions in threescore dif ferent languages, for the purpose of demonstrating that they all originate in one. This part of his work serves as a key to the languages of Europe. Having therefore, to the utmost of his ability, fulfilled his engagements to the public, he feels himself, at the age of 75, under the necessity of leaving the other parts of his intended work to be finished by any one who is disposed to resume the subject. A French gentleman is printing, in two elavo volumes, accompanied by nume rous engravings, the Voyage d'un François en Angleterre, ou Journal d'un Tour et d'une Residence de deux ans dans différentes parties de la Grande Bretagne, avec des remarques sur l'aspect, les arts, la litterature, et la politique de ce pays. Mr. WORDSWORTH has completed a new Poem, which is now in the press. Miss A. M. PORTER is engaged in printing a new Novel, under the title of, the Maid of Norway." An account will soon be published in French, of the Captivity and Death of the late Pope Pius VI. by the widow of General de Merck, who was governor of Valence at the period of the Pontiff's captivity. The interesting question relative to the alledged right of the public libraries to eleven copies of all new books and new editions, will be brought before the legislature early in the present session, in an explanatory bill, which will be introduced by Mr. DAVIES GIDDY, and be seconded by Mr. WYNN. Members of parliament, booksellers, and authors, will find the entire subject fully and ably elucidated in a tract by Mr. BRITTON, recently published, under the title of, "the RIGHTS of LITERATURE." Parnassian Wild Shrubs, in one vo lume, consisting of odes, moral pieces, sonnets, &c. by Mr. WILLIAM TAYLOR, is nearly ready for publication. Mr. E. BAYNES, Editor of the Leeds Intelligencer, announces a History of the War from 1803 to 1814. In the course of next month will be published, an Epicure's Almanack, or Guide to good living, on the plan of the French Almanach des Gourmands. The opening of the communications to all parts of the continent, leads us to calculate on the restoration of that fo. reign circulation which we enjoyed be fore the rupture of the Treaty of Amiens. The post-offices at home and abroad are the means of securing the regular delivery of all half-crown numbers at three gui neas per annum, and of 25. ones, like the Monthly Magazine, at two guineas per annum. The same facility of communi cation will afford us a rich harvest of fo. reign literature, and enable us to add greatly to the interest of those departments of our miscellany. Mr. De Luc, by placing a pendulum between the positive and negative extre mities of a Galvanic pile, in the year 1809, produced a self-acting motion, which will not cease to operate as long as the pile retains its power. The idea has been |
