PICTURE GALLERIES AND A FINE COPY OF THIS RARE AND BEAUTIFUL WORK, the plates of which are all reproduced from the canvases direct, the greatest care having been taken to preserve, in the minutest degree, the exact coloring of the originals. An important and rather unusual feature in works of this kind.

Among the artists whose works are here represented may be mentioned REMBRANDT, MURILLO, WOUVERMANS, CLAUDE, CUYP, VAN DER VELDE, BERGHEM, NICOLAS AND GASPAR POUSSIN, HOBBEMA, SALVATOR ROSA, TENIERS, JACOB RUYSDAEL, J. BOTH, LE NAIN, WYNANTS, DE JARDIN, etc.

VOL. XII.

What! arm'd for virtue when I point the pen,
Brand the bold front of shameless guilty men,
Lash the proud gamesterin his gilded car,
Bare the mean heart that lurks beneath a star;
Can there be wanting to defend her cause,
Lights of the church, or guardians of the laws!
Could pension'd Boileau lash in honest strain,
Follies and vices, e'en in Lewis' reign,
Could Laureat Dryden pimp and friar engage,
And neither Charles nor James be in a rage,

And I not strip the gilding of a knave,

Unplac'd, unpension'd, no man's tool or slave!

I will, or perish in the generous cause,

HEAR THIS, AND TREMBLE, YE WHO'SCAPE THE LAWS.
