_Portrait Painters._--I am in possession of some good paintings, portraits,
&c., which were taken at the end of the last, and early in the present
century. Some were painted at Bath, and others at Derby: and I should feel
obliged if, in your Notes, I could obtain information as to what artists of
celebrity were known in those places from fifty to seventy years ago. I
have heard that White of Derby was an artist of high repute.
