The Sixth Part of FINDEN'S Ports and Harbours consists of

five clever views of shipping at Portsmouth, &c. by EDWARD COOKE ; one of them being a copy of the exquisitely finished picture of the " Rig- ging Hulk," in the British Institution. The engravings are clear, but a little too bard and mechanical in execution, wanting the delicate freedom and variety of colour and texture that constitute the excellence of the painting, and which we look for in first-rate engravings.
