My own copy of Turner's vignette of the Great St. Bernard , done absolutely as well as I could; which cannot be said of one in a hundred of my drawings. It is interesting as an exercise, because the accidents E. of Turner's rapid wash are all fac-similied by laborious stippling. The original drawing, I grieve to say, is now in America. It is quite one of the first pieces if Turner's central time. Of its sentiment I think I need not speak.
