some became celebrated as painters as well as scene-painters, e.g., David Roberts, R.A., and Clarkson Stanfield. I have no doubt that these scenes were replicas of those which Childs invented for the plays represented. From Algernon Graves's invaluable 'Dictionary of Artists,' 1895, I find Childs exhibited from 1826 to 1873; so that when he did these scenes he was quite a young man. I have not seen any obituary notice of him. The next time I find his name is to "Sketches in the Deccan by Captain P. M. Taylor . . . . drawn on stone by Weld Taylor, E. Moston and George Childs, 1837." But none of these drawings are signed by him, unless the initials T. C. are Childs's, printed in mistake, for G. C.
Childs prepared some capital (school) drawing books in lithography—figures, animals, landscapes, and objects. Five are in the Art Library, Victoria and Albert Museum, all without date, published by David Bogue, Fleet Street, printed by J. R. Jobbins (1843?). Ralph Thomas.

He served in India from 1772 to 1807, with eminent advantage to the public and honour to himself. He filled the office of Surveyor- General under the Presidency of Bombay, and has left for the information of the world a map of Hindustan constructed from actual survey by himself and assistants, a lasting monument of his professional fame. His undaunted courage in the field, his persevering industry in the pursuit of science, his inflexible integrity in the execution of his public duty, were conspicuously manifest. Those qualities of his mind were accompanied by a heart that was open to the warmest domestic affections, and to the most sincere and ardent friendship. Living, he was sincerely beloved ; his loss is deeply lamented.
