garb of pilgrims, they appear to be advancing towards a bridge,
over which two men are passing ; a little retired from these,
stands a cluster of beautiful trees, and a house embosomed in
a wood, is visible in the distance. Both this and the compa-

328. Two Men taking Wine together. A sea-port, repre-
sented under the appearance of a fine evening, accompanied by
a gentle breeze. On one side, the view extends over a fine
bay, to a walled and fortified town, sheltered by a hil], on
whose summit is a citadel, and adjacent to which stands a lofty
tower surmounted by a beacon ; a number of vessels and small
craft are distributed over the port, which is bounded on the
opposite side by some high flat land. A bridge composed of
a single arch is close to the front, considerably beyond which
is a large clump of trees, and still more remote is a temple, a
portion of which is hidden by trees. This picture may farther
be identified by two men, one of whom is seated on a coffer
holding his glass, while his companion fills it; three casks are
near them. A little retired from these, are two others in con-
versation. Two women and a man are also on the bridge, and
a man tending a ssock of sheep is near the trees. Engraved by
F. Vivares, from a picture then in the collection of Mr. St.
Ledger.

329. A Herdsman tending Goats. The scene represents an
open country of a broken and undulating surface, with a lucid
river on the right, bounded by abrupt shaped banks. The
