cottage, and a cluster of trees, through an opening in which
passes a road leading in an oblique direction to the distant
country. Two men are on the road, and a third is close to
the paling of the house. Several cottages, nearly concealed
by trees, are visible in the middle distance. The aspect of a
fine summer’s day adds an indescribable charm to the rural scene.

This picture was imported by Mr. Harrington, and became suc-
cessively the property of Mr. Wise, Mr. Barnet, and Mr. Abrahams.
In the sale of the latter person’s pictures, in 1831, it was bought by
Mr. Tunnecliff, os Derby, for 430 gs.
It has since become the property of Mr. Bindley, of Manchester,
and was lately in the possession of Mr. O’Niel, at the sale of
whose collection, in 1834, it was knocked down for 685 gs.
76. A Landscape, representing a finely-wooded country,
divided from the front by a winding road, on the right of
which stands a large house, very much concealed by clumps
of trees, and having a stork’s nest on the roof. A traveller
sits at the side of the road, and a man stands in conversation
with him. On the left of the road is a little fence, or stile, on
which is inscribed the name of the painter, and beyond it is
a woman crossing a field : two other persons are seen in the
distance. The brilliancy of a fine summer’s day lends its
charm to the scene.

Now in the collection of Dawson Turner, Esq., Yarmouth.
77. A Landscape, composed, on the left, of a wood of
stunted trees, having a path-way through it, on which is a
man, with a woman and a boy. A river flows along the
fore-ground, the margin of which is fringed -with reeds and
bushes. In the centre and extremity of the second-ground, is
a cottage embosomed in trees, approached by a road which
skirts in part the river, and branches out to the distant
country. Two houses, concealed in part by trees, are on the
