The Medal of the Royal National Life-Boat Institution, For the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck

Obvertt.—An unlaureated head of George the Fourth; beneath, in minute letters, "W. Wyon, Mint; double legend, " Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck."—" George the Fourth, Patron, 1824." Severte.—Three sailors in a Life-boat,—one of whom is in the act of rescuing an exhausted mariner from the waves; inscription, " Let not the deep swallow me up." THIS Medal appears to have been "one of the chef d 'ceuvres of the late eminent engraver, WM. WYON, Esq., R.A. The bust of GEORGE THE FOURTH is the best of all the good heads of this Sovereign that have been engraved by Mr. WYON ; it combines, with great dignity, a peculiar animation and benevolence of expression, in character with the nature of the Institution of which His Majesty was the first Patron, and in the formation of which His Majesty and other members of the Royal Family took considerable interest.

The Reverse, representing the Life-boat, in which there are three Sailors, rescuing a fourth from the sea, is a work of superlative merit. Two of the Sailors are steadying the boat, while the other, stooping, draws in the Shipwrecked Sailor, whose figure is given so as to show the form in the most natural and beautiful manner; and the expression thrown into his countenance looking up to his preserver is unrivalled by anything that we have ever seen, while the easy flowing lines of this sailor are finely contrasted by those of his companions: the whole displaying the most perfect knowledge of the human frame, the finest taste to arrange it, and a command of the graver to embody to us what the artist's bright genius had shadowed out to himself.

But there is another pleasing motive for our admiration of this beautiful Medal, as the figure who is so humanely extending his relief to the drowning Mariner is a portrait of the Artist himself.

The following is a LIST of the GOLD and SILVER MEDALS that have been voted by the Committee of this Institution, since its establishment in 1824, to persons whose humane and intrepid exertions in saving Lives from Shipwreck have been deemed sufficiently conspicuous to merit that honourable distinction. The Cases will be.found recorded in detail in the several Annual Reports of the Institution.

JVbfc.—The asterisk (*) after the name denotes the reception of a Gold Medal, ~" The figure after the name signifies the number of honorary distinctions received from the Institution.
