Just Published, 1884

A work of great utility for the Biography and Identity of Artists; compiled from the Catalogues of the Royal Academy, the British Institution, the Society of Artists, the Free Society of Artists, and the Suffolk Street Exhibition. It comprehends nearly 16,000 Names, arranged in several columns, viz., Town, from which the first Exhibit was sent; First and Last Year of Exhibition; Specialty; a column for each of the Five Societies; and the Total Number ef Works exhibited by each Artist, whether as Painter in Oil or Water Colour, Architect, Engraver, Medallist, Sculptor, etc., for the last 120 years. One of its chief uses is the distinction between different members of one family; from mistakes in this respect many dealers in works of art become confused.

The above beautiful edition is the first collective impression of this early Scottish Classic, who has been described as a man of accurate observation and original thought-as one who displays a great knowledge of human nature, and who makes pointed observations on the manners and pursuits of mankind. He was also the author of the first metrical translation of a Classical Writer in Britain. His body lies in the Chapel Royal, Savoy, Strand.

His poetical works consist of :

:

I. THE PALICE OF HONOUR. [An Allegorical Poem displaying great power of invention, and a ready command of striking imagery; and from which it has been supposed that Bunyan may have borrowed the idea of his "Pilgrim's Progress."]

II. KING HART. [An Allegory of the Progress of Human Life; in which the versification is superior to the "Palace of Honour."]

III. CONSCIENCE. [An Invective against the growing desire of Churchmen for wealth.]

IV. THE XIII BUKES of ENEADOS of the famous Poete Virgill translated into Scottish Metir.
