[To THE EDITOR OP THE " SPROTATOR."]

SIR,—In your review of the Life of Haydon by Mr. G. Pesten in last week's issue you say of his paintings that " they are worth recovery, if recovery be possible, for the mere sake of curiosity." His picture of Wellington is in the Board Room of the Liverpool College, another is in the Church for the Blind in Liverpool, and several of his works, in- cluding his Napoleon, are, if my memory serves me truly, in the possession of Viscount Peel at Sandy. If an exhi- bition of his works could be possible, it would for ever settle his place in the world of art, which was so vehemently contested by himself and his friends up to the time of his sad end.—I am, Sir, &c., JOHN ELLIOT.
