The following juft Criticism of this Work,, is copied from the

Monthly Magazine for September, 1801.

"This very beautiful Work, which we ought to have noticed in a former number, conts of feven exquifitely fine engravings, eleven and an half inches by eight, characteristic of the Seven Ages of Man, and a highly finished Vignotte, evidently taken from Pope's Effay. Without entering, at large, into the merits of each plate, all of which are done in a very fuperior ftyle, we cannot help recommending to public notice, the School Boy, in the first number; and the picture of Second Childishness, in the laft, as two of the fineft pieces of compofition we have feen; the tardiness of the former, in his road to fchool, and the debility of the latter, "fans teeth, fans eyes, fans tafte, fans every thing," cannot fail of leaving deep impreffions in the mind of every spectator of the taste and execution of the artifts. The illuftrations are well adapted to the different fubjects: as an introduction, the commentator has traced the different authors of antiquity, as well as thofe of more modern times, who have divided the round of human exiftence into feparate ages.

"The other plates are illuftrated by historical obfervations and by quotations from ancient and modern poets. In contemplating the fecond period of life, the author has, we think, fuccessfully combated the common notion, that childhood is the happiest part of mortal existence, and has thrown out hints for the improvement of that part of education which is devoted to the attainment of the dead languages. The lover is illuftrated principally by references to Anacreon, Horace, and our own poet, Thomfon. In the two next fcenes he has made Shakespeare his commentator, and has fhewn that the defcription of the foldier was evidently taken from the character of Hotspur. The observations on old age and childishness, are highly appro

priate to the impreffions naturally excited in every feeling breaft by Mr. Bromley's plates. They are fuch as tend to awaken the tendereft emotions of the human heart; to inculcate filial piety in the young towards thofe in declining years, and to excite and encourage patience and cheerfulhefs, and at that period of life when old-age and infirmities disqualify a man for the active fcenes of the world. The whole Work is executed in a manner that is highly creditable to the prefent improved state of the fine arts in this country."
