s His physiognomy was decidedly
Roman not in its type expressing
the reckless ambition of the " broad
fronted Caesar," or the luxurious in
dulgence of the " curled Anthony y7
the Fabius Maximus, Marcellus, or
the Scipios. .
An equestrian portraiture; is par
ticularly well suited to him who rode
so well, and who was much attached
to the noble animal which so oft and
so gallantly had borne him in the
chase, in war, and in the perilous
service of the frontier. Rickets, the
celebrate equestrian, used to say, " I
delight to see the General ride, . and
make it " a point to fall in with him
when I hear that he is . abroad on
horseback- his seat is so firm, his
management so easy and graceful,
that I, who am a professor of horse
manship, would" go to him and learn
to ride": " '
Bred in the vigorous school of the
frontier warfare, " and the earth; his
bed, his canopy the heavens,' he ex
celled the hunter and woodsman in
their athletic" habits,;andmtse tri
als of manhood which distinguished
the hardy days of his early lifer he
was amazingly swift ; of foot, and
could climb the mountain steep, and
? not a' sob confess bis toil. ;

A Mr. Williams, a painter in cray

v The works of Stuart have acquired '
such 'extensive and deserved celebri-
ty, that a critique from us would be
almost superfluous. Of , the Great
President, the head (that is the head
only) of Stuart is certainly a chef
d'eeuvre. There are three originals ,
by this distinguisheoV master tTie
head and bust, from which many co
pies have been taken, the full length
for the Marquis of jLandsdown, and
an original intended for Mrs. Wash-
ington. ' The artist has been particu- .
larly happy in delineating that grace-
ful fall . of the shoulders, for which the
Chief was remarkable, and which is
said to constitute amoncr the finest
lines in the portraiture of tmanly ex
cellence;.;; ihe detects ot the ;iull
length are, in the limbs.' vThere i loo,
much of roundness and finish, accpr-',
dfiig to the rules of art arid the. most,
approved.; models of taste and jeeleb
rity, whereas the original was in him-
self a model for the arts. " ' Stuart
once observed, "My impressibnof ..
his superior size considerably abated,
on T tryirig on his coat, andfindirig' ;
that the span of his body wais notl
greater than was' to be'found Jri 1 some, '
other men." . True. We repeatrtbat,
