A "Young Print and Portrait Collector" would be obliged by any
explanation respecting a portrait of Oliver Cromwell, of an allegorical
nature, surrounded by various emblems and devices, which evidently bear
upon the events of his life. He is represented standing between two
columns, in armour, with a wreath of laurel in place of a helmet. This
print has neither name or date of any kind upon it.

Another print is one marked published 1816, by J. T. Smith, called
"St. Luke's day," a "poor painter removing;" is this intended as a
caricature upon some artist of the time?
Jan. 6th, 1852.
D. E., 47, _Blessington Street, Dublin,_ thanked for his suggestions.
The R. I. A.--T. C. D. and the Dublin Society, however, cannot in the
slightest degree influence the conduct of G. W.'s "Current Notes."
If these learned bodies regard their own situation, they will not
object to "any slang, coarseness, or Americanisms." They should
rather reflect how much America has and _probably_ will teach young
Ireland--BUT NOT _through_ their agency, as publishers.
THE HOLY GRAHL, Δ. as confessedly "made up of quotations,"
is an article not suited to G. W.'s "Current Notes."
