POET'S FAME which this Country boasts.
M.R. ROBINS feels highly flattered at having
been selected by the representatives of the late Mr- Thomas
Court to SUBMIT to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction
Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 16th of September, at twelve,
The truly limit-stirring relic of a most glorious period; and of
ENGLAND'S IMMORTAL BARD, . .

which, by the course of events, arid directions contained in
the will of the late owner, is compelled to be offered to public
sale ; yet with every fervent hope that its appreciation by the British
public will secure for it a safeguard and continuance at the Birth
and Burial-place of the Poet,
THE MOST HONOURED MONUMENT OF THE
GREATEST GENIUS THAT EVER LIVED.

Shakspere's House, at Stratford-on-Avon, has long been a shrine
to which Pilgrims of all nations, ranks, and conditions, from the
Prince to the Peasant, have resorted to do homage to the mighty
dead ; the interesting record of which is traced by the countless
autographs covering the walls of the room in which the Bard first
saw the light, presenting a simple but striking instance of the spon-
taneous and universal devotion of mankind to the great Poet of
Nature. To attempt to panegyrize this interesting and singular
property would be vain indeed, for to quote the Poet's beautiflil lines—
" To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
To throw a perfume on the violet,
To smooth the ice, or add another hue
Unto the rainbow, or with taper light
To seek the beauteous eye of Heaven to garnish,
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess."
Mr. Robins, therefore, simply invites all who take an interest
in this monumental relic (and who is there amongst us does not) to
pay a visit to Stratford-on-Avon, in the full assurance that what he
will see.and feel, now that this remarkable property may be pox•
sessed, will.raise a spirit of competition hitherto unknown.
On passing through the town, the visitor is struck by the quaint
inscription,
THE IMMORTAL SHARSPEARE WAS BORN IN THIS
HOUSE ;

and its singular appearance, and still more curious condition, at once
stamp the truth of the proud yet simple title It assumes. It is trusted
the feeling of the country will be so evinced, that the structure may
be secured, hallowed, and cherished as a national monument,
almost as

IMPERISHABLE AS THE POET'S FAME;
and though it may appear to approach desecration to think of the
lucre of gain whilst contemplating the property, yet there can be no
question ware this inestimable relic to be purchased simply for the
profit it may yield,
PAST AND FUTURE EXPERIENCE WOULD PROVE A MOST
NOBLE RESULT.
And however Mr. Robins may lament the necessity for the sale of
this time-hallowed relic, he cannot but feel gratified that he is ap-
pointed the humble instrument by which it may be secured to the
country, as it should be
ITS PRIDE AND HONOUR. _ . .

The Swan and Alaidenhead,; thriving public-house which adjoins,
with its out-buildings, forms part of the property, extending from
Henley-street to the Guildpits,
THE WHOLE OF WHICH, BE IT REMEMBERED, IS
FREEHOLD.
