THE TURNER DRAWINGS.

•
On the 16th of May, 400 of Turner's drawings,
forming pert of the national collection, but which have not
hitherto been exhibited, will be ready for public inspection.
They include Alpine subjects of great value, the Rhos of
RagLoid, the Rivers of France, the Vignettes of Rogwe's
Poems, Studies of Mountain Sosnery in Scotland and
Switzerland, and many precious drawings from nature at
Rome and Naples. Besides these 400 drawings, which will
be framed, 1,000 of leas value will have been mounted by
the middle of May sufficiently for purposes of protection and
display. Mr. Ruskin, under whose care theme drawings
have been prepared fur exhibition, is framing an illustrative
catalogue of the whole.

Three are also about 200 large sketches sad drawings,
many of them very noble, for which it is difficult to suggest
any arrangement, and which can only be exhibited to the
event of an enlargement of the N►tional Gallery. They had
been ranch crashed, and otherwise ill-trusted by Tuner,
sad were nearly all moth-eaten. Nevertheless it would be
possible to exhibit than in glazed panels, although not to
portfolios.

_
But besides these there era a very large number of draw-
ings in pocket Dote-books, both sides of every leaf being
covered with its pencil sketch. Mr. Raskin bas desk with
36 of these note-books, containing in all 3,132 haves, but
the total number of note-books is 267. To mount all these
so that they may be handled without injury will be a work
of time. The remaloder of the Turner drawings Mr. Rookie
thinks might profitably be divided into five or iii collections,
and went to the Academies of Edinburgh, Dublin, and the
principal English manufacturing towns.
