157. 162. Inverary PierIf the last is the grandest, this is the brightest and happiest of the Scottish Scenes in the Book. It is both etched and engraved by Turner, and I have often heard Mr. Lupton express his astonishment at the transparency of aerial light obtained in the mountains and sky. I have always felt, myself, the two equal R. loops of Bay to be awkwardly one above the other; yet the calm of the composition would seem to be destroyed by any purposable modification.
