Amongst the various original Portraits of Queen Mary, those Pictures where the expression of countenance are most similar to the one under consideration, are -- a Portrait in the collection of Lord Cassils -- one in the possession of Sir Hugh Crawford of Jordanhill -- and a Miniature belonging to Mr. Graham of Gartmore, which his Father purchased from Sir Joshua Reynolds, and which Mr. Graham values at 500 guineas.
