A treatise on wood engravings : historical and practical . Magazine for July, 1825, it is stated that the final tail-piece to BewicksFables, 1818-1823, is A View of Ovingham Churchyard ; and in theReverend AVilliam Turners Memoir of Thomas Bewick, in the sixthvolume of the Naturalists Library, the same statement is repeated. Itis, however, erroneous ; as both the writers might have known had theythought it worth their while to pay a visit to Ovingham, and take a look 512 KEVIVAL OF WOOD ENGRAVING. at the church. The following cut, in which is introduced an iniaginaiyrepresentation of Bewicks funeral, presents a correct view of the place.The following popular saying, which is well known in Northumberland, suggested the introduction of the rain-bow : *oo^ Happy is the bride that the sun shines on, And happy is the corpse that the rain rains on, — meaning that sunshine at a wedding is a sign of happiness in themarriage state to the bride, and that rain at a funeral is a sign offuture happiness to the person whose remains are about to be interred.. The following eloquent tribute to the merits of Bewick is from anarticle on Wilsons Illustrations of Zoology in Blackwoods Magazine forJune, 1828. Have we forgotten, in our hurried and imperfect enumeration ofwise worthies, —have we forgotten The Genius that dwells on the banks of the Tyne, * the Matchless, Inimitable Bewick ? No. His books lie on our parlour, bed-room, dining-room, drawing-room, study table, and are never out of * This line is adapted from Wordsworth, who, at the commencement of his versesentitled The Two Thieves, or The Last Stage of Avarice, thus expresses his highopinion of the talents of Bewick : 0 now that the genius of Bewick were mine, And the skill which he learned on the banks of the Tyne !Then the Muses might deal with me just as they chose, For Id take my last leave both of verse and of prose.
