tender attentions of an affectionate hufband. He was a kind mafter, an indulgent landlord, affable and humane to all. His tradefmen, tenants, and domefticks, heavily deplore his lofs. This is not the language of kindred Vanity, nor of venal Panegyrick; it is the fimple and voluntary teftimony of unbiaffed Truth. He was equally free from the vices and the affectation of his time. Too many of our noblemen and gentlemen pretend to speak with difdain of the productions of their own country, and to hold in contempt the works of every British artift. This is the more reprehenfible, as there never was a period when England could boaft of so many excellent Painters and Engravers; and it is certain that the ftyle of the British School is at prefent fuperior, in truth of nature, energy, and grandeur, to the ftyle of every other School in Europe. To prove the truth of this affertion, it is only neceffary to mention the names of fome of our artifts. The oilpictures of Weft, Opie, and Northcote, of Hoppner, Shee, Hobday, and Owen, of Turner and Calcot; with the watercolour drawings of Glover, Holmes, Weftall, and a number of others, are an honour to their talents and to their country. When a perfon of real tafte hears our infipid connoiffeurs condemning the works of their living countrymen, he cannot but cry out, with the courtly Roman, Indignor quidquam reprehendi non quia crafsè [nuper." Compofitum, illepidéve putetur fed quia Sir Wilfred Lawfon had the courage to think for himself, and to rife above these fenfelefs and difgraceful prejudices. He neither fought the reputation of a connoiffeur, nor did he attempt to decide, in a peremptory tone, on the merits of picHe did not purchase a compofition because it was antient or modern, or becaufe of the celebrated name of the - mafter, but because it gave him pleasure as a work of merit. His apartments were decorated with paintings, including a few good Flemish and Italian pictures, and a fine collection of the works of living English Mafters. He was for many years a liberal patron of that admirable artift Reinagle; and he had a few choice productions by the pencil of our English Snyders, Northcote. In his collection of engravings he manifefted the fame independent tafte. He had in his folios the works of Albert Durer, Marc Antonio, Rembrandt, and their Schools; of Nanteiul, Edelink, the Audrans, and all the beft old Mafters; but he also collected the works of Strange, Vivares, Woollett, and Bartolozzi; with the publications of Boydell, Macklin, Bowyer, Burn, and all the works of our other good English En
