{notes}
No. 22 is a nice little rather tight watercolour: perspective rather forced & close up - it was sold.
No. 24 is on the 1811 yellow paper - a mere outline.
No. 25 is very nice; late; after Turner's 'Liber Studiorum' - "Bridge & Goats".
No. 26. Seems to be a sketch of autumn 1841 - flood in foreground.
No. 27 is one of the harsh & competent late 'drawing copies' with much white on brown paper.
Nos. 28 & 29 - are rejected by Bell from the Bulwer coll[ection]
No. 29 looks almost right & has some good colour passages, but the drawing of architecture fails in several places.
