MISS LINWOOD'S GALLERY, LEICESTER SQUARE.

A SHORT description of this gallery is given in ' Leigh's New Picture of London,' new ed., 1823, p. 374. It

"is an interesting display of ingenuity and taste, consisting of copies in needle work of some of the best English and foreign pictures. They are ex- hibited in elegant apartments, comprising a gallery 100 feet long, a grotto of the same length, and a room appropriated to sacred subjects. Amongst the works which Miss Linwood has copied with

\inparalleled taste and skill are "

Then follow the titles of some of the pictures, the names of the original artists being given in most, if not all cases.

Timbs in his ' Romance of London ' (? vol. ii.), p. 282, note, speaking of Savile House, says : " Here Miss Linwood exhibited her needlework from 1800 until her death in 1845."

John Hollingshead in his ' Story of Leicester Square', 1892, says (p. 40) : "" Various shows seized upon the remains of Savile House, the most simple and innocent of which was Miss Linwood's display of .Art Needlework." A little further on he

speaks of " the mild dissipation of Miss Linwood's gallery, with its buns, sponge- cakes, and lemonade." On p. 41 is an. oval portrait of Miss Linwood.
