There is a portrait of him, in a full-dressed suit and
bag-wig, in one of the numbers of the European Magazine;
which has the complete air of a fine gentleman. Let me just
observe, in elucidation of what Lysander above means by this
latter mode of illustrating copies, that in the Bodleian
library there is a copy of _Kuster's edition of Suidas_
filled, from beginning to end, with MS. notes and excerpts
of various kinds, by the famous D'Orville, tending to
illustrate the ancient lexicographer.]

LIS. Forgive me, if I digress a little. But is not the knowledge of
_rare_, _curious_, and _beautiful Prints_--so necessary, it would
seem, towards the perfecting of _illustrated copies_--is not this
knowledge of long and difficult attainment?

LYSAND. Unquestionably, this knowledge is very requisite towards
becoming a complete pupil in the SCHOOL OF GRANGER.[436] Nor is it, as
you very properly suppose, of short or easy acquirement.

[Footnote 436: GRANGER'S _Biographical History of England_
was first published, I believe, in 1769, 4to., 2 vols. It
has since undergone four impressions; the last being in
1804, 8vo., 4 vols. _A Continuation of the same_, by the
Rev. MARK NOBLE, was published in 1807, 8vo., 3 vols.: so
that if the lover of rare and curious prints get possession
of these volumes, with AMES'S _Catalogue of English Heads_,
1748, 8vo.; and WALPOLE'S _Catalogue of Engravers_, 1775,
8vo.; BROMLEY'S _Catalogue of Engraved Portraits_, 1793,
4to.; together with Catalogues of English Portraits, being
the collections of Mr. BARNARD, Sir W. MUSGRAVE, Mr. TYSSEN,
Sir JAMES-WINTER LAKE; and many other similar catalogues put
forth by Mr. RICHARDSON and Mr. GRAVE; he may be said to be
in a fair way to become master of the whole arcana of
PRINT-COLLECTING. But let him take heed to the severe
warning-voice uttered by ROWE MORES, in his criticism upon
the Catalogue of English Heads, published by Ames: 'This
performance (says the splenetic and too prophetic critic) is
not to be despised: judiciously executed, a work of this
sort would be an appendage entertaining and useful to the
readers of English biography; and it ought to be done at the
common labour, expense, and charges of these
_Iconoclasts_--because their depredations are a grand
impediment to
