_Wilkie's Blind Fiddler._--I should be much obliged if you, or any of
your correspondents, could give me some information respecting Sir David
Wilkie's picture of "The Blind Fiddler." I believe he painted as many as
four, if not more, copies of the original, and that the first picture
was finished by him in the year 1807; that in the National Gallery is
dated, as I am informed, 1808. What I wish to ascertain is, the real
number of the pictures of this subject that Wilkie painted, _with their
dates_; and if possible, in whose hands they are at present.
