THE CELEBRATED ADMIRAL LORD ANSON,

who had unusual facilities of enriching his gallery with gems from
the continent, and a in, aided by a consummate judgment, spared
neither cost nor trouble to accomplish his darling object. The
rarest treasures of the Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Flemish, and
English Schools, in their pure state, will here be found ; and
where there is so much of excellence it is difficult to select for
particular mention ; still the following well.known and un-
doubted pictures by Guido, of the " Angel appearing unto Peter,"
and " Susannah and the Elders," must have especial notice ; two
landscapes by G. Poussin ; a splendid landscape by Both ; a
landscape by Claude; a landscape by Domenichino; a landscape,
with cattle, by Cuyp ; a small landscape, with cattle and sheep,
by K. Du Jardin; a landscape by Berghem ; and another by
Gainsborough, with six matchless sea pieces, by Vandervelde—
one being of large size and singularly fine, and; its companion by
Backhuysen—all these are incomparable as works of art. There
are also many charming specimens by the following esteemed

masters

THE GALLERY OF ANTIQUE STATUES AND BUSTS,
of the FINEST GRECIAN AND ROMAN SCULPTURE,
many of them being whole length figures, the size of and a
great variety of Antique Busts of extraordinary execution, with
some of modern date. The ensemble may be pronounced one of
the richest in this country; it includes nearly SO matchless speci.
mcns of sculpture, and any language offered in their praise would
be far too feeble to express their claims to admiration; the fine
antique life-size statues of Ncptune with the Dolphin, the Young
Bacchus with a Satyr, of Paris, of Venus from the Bath, of one
of the Muses, of one of the Fates, of a Roman Youth and the
companion, a Female representing Comedy, and rnany more equally
splendid, with a long list of antique marble Busts, all inestimable as
works of art ; whilst, amongst the modern, may be stained
THE MAGNIFICENT GROUP OF CASTOR AND
POLLUX, BY NOLLEKENS,

and several other full length figures, the busts of Homer, Demos.
thenes, Marc Antony, Shakspeare, and:Locke, magnificent speci_
mens of sculpture, all by Rubiliac, and the noble Busts of Franria
Duke of Bedford, and Charles James Fox, by Nollekena, and other
celebrated personages.
