Mr. GEIXIE'S etchings of Scottish character, scenes, and incidents, are

highly amusing and ingenious, without any pretensions to art. They evince a perception of the ludicrous and a facility in seizing upon its characteristics, as well as considerable skill in etching. The drawing is very homely in style, but that rather adds to than diminishes the drollery of the subjects. The sketches of actual scenes and real charac- ters are superior to the ideal representations, such as Tarn O'Shanter, &c.
