the Dutch army, and lived in a house in the Hague, ornamented by a lily. This painter is said to have died through jealousy of Kneller's rising success.

Kneller was at first a scholar of Rembrandt; but during his visit to Italy he turned his chief attention to the pictures of Titian and Caracci. Though half the price was deposited at the first sitting, he is said to have left five hundred unfinished portraits on his death in London, in 1726. This is a custom which we have reason to think the present generation of English portrait painters are likely to honour in the obser

vance.

But it is time to conclude. Those who want information on dates and facts may turn to Mr. James with satisfaction; and those who seek for well discriminated criticism on the different styles of art, may follow his guidance with the most assured confidence.
