There is a simple and awful grandeur In this picture, that evinces no common genius. It is a preternatural and gloomy light, that even the rising fires cannot subdue. The long unbroken lines confer a continuity of awful greatness. It is, indeed, a very Pandemonium, with its mob of hellish reformers. We shrink from it instinctively, and remember the Reform burners of Bristol.

We were nearly overlooking a picture of great merit and of much fancy, from its general modest unpretending hue. Yet it is a subject many a painter would have treated gaudily, and obtruded on the eye with forced colours and forced effect.

No. 207, Titania sleeping.” R. Dodd.

“ There s’eeps Titania, sometime of the night,

Lull’d in these flowers with dances and delight.”
