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.

No 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 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. Works lately published. 1. The Hon. & Rev. W.
