that plate was copied from that of Pafs*.
.Another print recorded by' Vertuc con-
tarns, in a half fheet the king and* qiieenof
Bohemia, and four of dicir children. WiB,
Plifs fecit ad vivum figurator 1621. About
twenty Englifli verfcs in two columns at
bottom.
^I have a very valuable print of the Pala-
tine femily on a large fheet, broadways,
but without any name of engraver. By the
manner I fhould take it for Sadeler. The
king of Bohenniaj^ aged, fat, and melan-
choly, is fittjing with Elizabeth under fome
trees. One of their fans, in appearance
between twenty and thirty, ftands by the
queen. On the other fide are three young
children, the ieaft playing with a rabbit.
Two greyhounds, a pigeon, a toad, and
fev^ral animals are difpofed about the land-
fcape, which is rich, and graved with much
freedom. The infcription is in French.
Of iWiiUam Pafs I find tlicfe other works ;
* 'this pfint, ex'ceedingly inferior to the former, is .
»ow in tbe coUeflion of Sir William Mufgrave, who .
bought it, with" many other fcarce portraits, fronj

Mr; FRANCIS PLACE,
A gentleman of Yorkfhire, had a turn to'
moft of the beautiful arts. He painted, *
deligned and etched ; Verrue had heard that
he learned the latter of Hollar, and ha^ pre-
ferved a letter that he received from Mr.
Place, in anfwer to Tiis inquiries into that
faft and about Hollar himfelf, of whom he
relates on his own knowledge many particu-
lars which Vertue has inferted in his Kfe of
that artift, but denies his having been in*
ftru6ted by him. Mr. Place was a younger
fon of Mr. Rowland Place of Dinfdale in
the .county of Durham, and was placed ^s-
clerk to an attorney in London, where he
continued till 1665, in whkh year going
into a (hop, the officers came to fhiit up the*
houfe, on its having the plague in it. This.
<>ccafioned his leaving London; and gave,
l»m an opportunity of quitting a profeflion
^ *• Mr. Scott, oifCro^vn-coartWeftmiIlfte^, had a pic-
tare of goofberries painted in oil on a black ground,
a common method with him, as Mr. Scott was told by
Mrs. Windham, Place's daughter, who was living in
1764, and a jug of his earthen-ware.

GEORGE WHITE,
Son of Robert, finiftied fome of his fathcr^s
plates, and engraved others himfelf, but
chiefly pra&ifed in mezzotinto, in which he
fucceeded, and had ibmetimes 20 guineas
for a plate. His beft, I think, are of Sir
Richard Blackmore, and Sylvcfter Petyt,
the latter remarkably fine. He alfo painted
in oil, and more frequently in miniature*
One of his firft large heads, in his father*s
manner^ was of James Gardiner biihop of
Lincoln. He was alive ib late as the year
1731, when a print by him of bifliop Wef^
ton is dated.
ARTHUR SOLY

Was much employed by Robert
White, who drew his head in black
lead, which was engraved in 1683. Him-
