His first exhibited picture at theRoyal Academy was a miniature, but hisminiatures are rare. Sir W. J. Newton (1785-1869) was a Lon-doner, and began his art life as an engraverunder the able tuition of his father James, butsoon took to miniatures exclusively. Newtons work is rare, and always excellentand charming. He was particularly successfulwith portraits of ladies. He was a very popu-lar miniaturist, and was miniature painter toWilliam IV and to Queen Victoria. There is. SAMUEL BENTHAIMBy Henry Ed>iaj;e ..i£>^aW YORK ?! B Lie !-:ARY ? ! ^1 *-? I
