"A Critical Review of the Public Buildings, Statues, &c. in and about London. By James Ralph," 12mo. In what year this was first published I know not. My copy bears date 1783. Ralph died in 1762. Pope honoured him by a place in the Dunciad; and the late Mr. Malcolm says, "these lines in the Dunciad:

"Silence ye wolves, whilst Ralph to Cynthia howls,
"Making night hideous! answer him, ye owls,"

were applied to that author as a poet; they were equally applicable to him as a critic in Architecture."

This censure is applied to Ralph's opinion respecting the View of St. George's Hanover-square.
