itiothing but the enormous circulation, and the fa-
tnes afforded by the long experience and admirable
achinery of the Illustrated London News, could en-
able the proprietors of that popular periodical to pro-
duce the splendid series of engravings published this
Reek illustrative of the important events which have
recently transpired in the Eternal City. A double
number, or rather the ordinary number accompanied
a supplement, together with a large panoramic

offluers, constitute the group of embellishments here
red to the notice of the lovers of art, and to those
