conversation; a third is on the opposite bank of a river,
similarly engaged with a woman, who is seated. The left of
the picture is formed of enclosed meadows, bounded by clus-
ters of lofty trees; from hence the eye looks over a harvest
field to the distant country. In addition to the figures
noticed, is a woman in the river, gathering rushes. Described
srom a sketch.

6. A Landscape, representing a woody scene, divided in
the centre by a river, on which is a boat containing three men.
On the left are a clump of trees, and an adjacent pathway, on
which are two peasants in conversation, one os whom is
seated. Beyond the river is a dark wood, pierced by a
narrow road, along which two persons are passing. The
view on the right is composed of broken ground, covered in
part with clusters of trees, among which flicker gleams of
sunshine. The undulating foreground is also pleasingly
varied with bulrushes and other herbage. Painted in a firm
and masterly style.

In the Collection of J. Norris, Esq., Red Vales, near Bury.
7. Peasants shaking hands. This excellent production
represents the oft-repeated scene,—a woody country, inter-
spersed with cottages. A winding road leads from the centre
of the foreground, on which two neighbours sa man and a
woman) have met, and are shaking hands; they are accom-
panied by a boy, who stands by them. Beyond these are a
man and a girl going towards two cottages surrounded by
trees, and still more distant are two other persons. The view
is here bounded by some low trees and a house. On the
right of the picture, and near the front, is part of a house ;
from hence the eye looks into a thick grove; the opposite
