Excerpt from Memoirs of William Hickey, 1782 1790, Vol. 3 Many unsuccessful efforts have been made to obtain a portrait of the author of the Memoirs and one of Charlotte Barry. The present volume mentions several pictures which were painted of them, and in addition there is towards the end of the Memoirs a reference to a portrait of the author painted by Mr. George Chinnery in Calcutta in 1807 or 1808, and presented by him to Sir Henry Russell, the then Chief Justice of Bengal. There appears also to have been an engraved portrait of the author, probably a private plate, of which a copy was sold at the sale of Thomas Haviland Burke's engravings at Christie's, 21-28 June, 1852. It is hoped that some of these portraits will yet be traced and the Editor would be thankful for any information that may be thought likely to assist him in his search for them.
