LUTTEREL, Henry, engraver and painter. Was born at Dublin about 1650, and came early in life to London. He studied the law at New Inn, but the love of art tempted him to change his profes- sion. He became the pupil of Ashfield, and applied himself to portraiture in cray- ons, in which he excelled. He designed a series of heads for Kennet's 'History of England/ which were engraved by Vander- bank. On the invention of mezzo-tint, he took up the new art, and joining Isaac Becket, they were the earliest English en- gravers in that manner. But Becket soon left him, and he brought out a print which had a large sale, and forming an acquaint- ance with Vansomer, by his help soon mastered the whole process. He tried a method of laying the ground with a roller, and discovered a means of drawing crayon

Eortraits on copper. He finished many eads, and assisted Becket, his former col- league, in giving better completeness to his work. He died about 1710.

E loved on ornamental sculpture for public inklings in Dublin. Between 1863-66 he assisted the late J. Foley, R A., in his studio. His last work at the Royal Academy was \ LordLurgan's Master McGrath/ exhibited in 1 875. His latter habits were intemperate, and he died suddenly, at Belfast, April 20, 1776.

MoALISTER, George, glass painter. Was born in Dublin 1786, and brought up as a jeweller, but devoted himself to study and experiment in glass painting, and at the age of 21 his great ability in this art was recognised by the diploma of the Dublin Society. He finished a fine window for

the cathedral atfLisraore, and had com- menced another of larger dimensions for Tuam, but anxiety and the heat of the fur- nace at which he worked produced inflam- mation of the brain, of which he died, June 14, 1812, in his 26th year. This last work was completed from his designs by his three
