THE CELEBRATED COLLECTION OF THE
HIGHLY-ESTEEMED WORKS OF BENJAMIN
WEST, ESQ., THE LATE PRESIDENT OF THE
ROYAL ACADEMY; TOGETHER WITH THE
SPLENDID EXHIBITION ROOMS, ERECTED
BY MR. NASH, AT AN EXPENCE EXCEEDING
4,000 POUNDS, and the RESIDENCE of the VENE-
RABLE DECEASED, IN NEWMAN-STREET.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the grati-
fication to announce to the Public, and more
especially those who encourage the FINE ARTS, that it
has been his good fortune to be honoured by.the Executors
of the revered and highly-gifted Artist,
BENJAMIN WEST,
LATE PRESIDENT OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY,
To offer for unreserved competition, on FRIDAY, SA-
TURDAY, and MONDAY, the 22d, 23d, and 25th days
of May, at Twelve o'Clock,
THE UNEQUALLED COLLECTION OF
HISTORICAL PICTURES,
Including 170 of the Sunman! EFFORTS of hie vast and

comprehensive mind.
The great renown acquired by this distinguished orna-
ment of his Art, will necessarily circumscribe the necessity
of going into a very long detail : this is fortunate, inas-
much as the appalling difficulty of doing strict justice
would weaken the humble effort, and thus render more im-
perfect a sketch, that pretends not to give more than a very
faint outline of the brilliant picture, to which a much more
talented man would feel himself incompetent to do adequate
justice. In viewing this
SPLENDID EXHIBITION OF THE FOUNDER AND
FATHER OF BRITISH HISTORICAL PAINTING,
The nation at large will lament that in times like these,
when the march of intellect and improvement has made
such rapid strides, so great a treasure as

MR. WEST'S GALLERY
Should be left to the hazard and uncertainty of the ham-
mer ; it was surely not appreciating too highly the English
taste and liberality to contemplate
THE BRITISH INSTITUTION AND
NATIONAL GALLERY

Becoming the depository of this entire Collection, and thus
transmit to posterity a proud record of what could be accom-
plished by an Englishman, and in that peculiar art which
had so long remained in its infancy. It was by the
generous devotion of his pencil to the noblest aim of his
profession, that first brought British Painting into direct
association with the Throne, and raised it into an object of
national importance in the mind of his Sovereign. It will
almost partake of the work of supererogation to state, that
until the year 1768, Historical Painting was in no wise
encouraged in England, and the immortal West encoun
tered the trial in fear and trembling : how well he suc-
ceeded future generations will acknowledge,--and the pre-
sent will, it is believed, add their concurring testimony._...
For this proud testimonial of having raised the character
of English Historical Art, the public are mainly indebted
to the kind and fostering encouragement of his
LATE MAJESTY, GEORGE TUE THIRD,
Who, in the singleness of his mind, and unbounded libe-
rality, commanded the late President to paint TWENTY-
TWO PICTURES, to adorn
THE ROYAL CHAPEL IN WINDSOR.
Our present Monarch was graciously pleased to restore to
Mr. West's family these precious gents; they include the
SUBLIME COMPOSITION,
MOSES RECEIVING THE LAWS,

The universal Deluge, and the Crucifixion of Our Saviour.
The remaining ones are all appropriate for Altar Pieces.
It would far exceed the limit of an advertisement to men-
tion separately all the Pictures : a very few will demon-
strate the treat which is in store for those who have not
been so fortunate as to see them.

CHRIST REJECTED BY THE JEWS,
(And for which 10,0001. was refused) was exhibited in
Pall-mall, and 240,000 persons were gratified by a sightof it.
DEATH ON THE PALE HORSE,
Representing the opening of the first fire Seals : the effect
proposed to be excited by this Picture is the terribly sub-
lime, and its various modifications, until lost in the oppo-
site extremes of pity and horror,—a sentiment which
Painting had not, until then, attempted successfully to
awaken. This is indeed a chef d'oeuvre ; and the same
panegyric might be safely pronounced on the remaining
150 Pictures. The space allotted for this purpose is,
however, insufficient, and this imperfect description will
end by intreating especial attention to the following :
Expulsion of Adam and Eve The Overthrow of the Old
The Deluge Beast and False Prophet
Abraham and Isaac Telemachus and Mentor on
The Resurrection the Island
Peter and John Cicero discovering the Tomb
The Three Marys of Archimedes
The Brazen Serpent Death of Wolfe
Saul Prophesying Mark Anthony showing the
St. Paul shaking the Viper Robe and Will of Caesar.
Christ healing the Infirm

Thus has Mr. West left for the admiration, of the pre.
sent and succeeding generations,
A SUBLIME SERIES OF PICTURES,
_ _

_ -
From Sacred and Profane History, Poetry, and orl•
ginal fancy, including the greater portion of the labour of
his long and meritorious life, as
THE ONLY LEGACY FOR HIS CHILDREN.

In America, the exhibition of one of Mr. West's Pic-
tures,—The Healing of the Infirm in the Temple,--(which
he presented to the Hospital of Philadelphia gratuitously).
produced a sum sufficient to perpetuate the maintenance of
twenty-five Pensioners, besides 1,800 guineas to build
a room to receive it. To conclude, Sir Thomas Law-
rence, at the distribution of Prizes to the Students of
the Royal Academy, eulogized the late venerable Pre-
sident thus :—" His work were not only superior to
any fornser productions of English art, but far surpass-
ing contemporary merit on the Continent—were un-
quailed at any period below the School of the Ca-
racci—and he gained celebrity at the close of his life, far
greater than he had ever before enjoyed, and he became
(almost to forgetfulness of deceased greatness) the one po-
pular painter of his country.

vantageous Investment for Capital, comprehending
THE COTON MANSION AND ESTATE,

TITHE FREE,
AND IN A RING FENCE,

very desirably situate on the borders of Shropshire, the
Turnpike Road from
BATH THROUGH WORCESTER

to SHREWSBURY and HOLYHEAD pissing through
the Property. There are so many and such self-evident
advantages connected with this Investment, that a few
of the more prominent will exhaust the usual limit of an
advertisement. There are

FOUR MANORS,
EXTENDING OVER THE WHOLE PARISH,
OF 5,000 ACRES,

which has an immensity of Game upon it, independently
Of ROYALTIES, HERIOTS, CHIEF RENTS, AND ArruaTE-

stone, at an expense exceeding 12,0001. It is delightfully

HOUSES ARE EXCELLENT, the Agricultural Buildings of the
best description, and the Tenantry highly respectable. The

WOODS ABOUND WITH PHEASANTS.
There is Gravel and Freestone upon the Estate, and it is
hardly doubtful that

COAL AND IRON
may be included in the long list of inviting properties con-
nected with the Estate. The Markets in the vicinity ars
good, and the river Severn approximating upon the Coten
Property, gives additional facility to the export of the pro-
duce to -distant markets. There are Corn and Water Mills,
and the INN ON THE ROAD MIDWAY BETWEEN BRIDGE-
NORTH AND KIDDERMINSTER is an additional feature.
Indeed it would be very difficult to suggest so satisfactory
an Investment, in a County proverbial for all the advan-
tages the most favoured can aspire to.
THE YEARLY VALUE IS £2,700.

Tithes, &c.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to
SELL by AUCTION, in One Lot, at the Auc-
tion Mart, London, on THURSDAY, May 21, at Twelve,
(unless previously disposed of by Private Contract.)
This most desirable Property presents to the Capitalist
an advantageous mode of Investment, and to the Field
Sportsman and Agriculturist an inexhaustible source of
pleasure and profitable amusement.

This Estate consists of the
MANOR OR LORDSHIP OF ALBRIGHTON,
well stocked with game, and of the entire Township of
Albrighton, containing 835 Acres of Land, now in the pos-
session of respectable tenants (except 87 Acres of Wood-
land, in hand) at several yearly rents, amounting together
to 1,0801., and upwards.
Also the PERPETUAL ADVOWSON or RIGHT of
PRESENTATION to the FREE CHAPEL of AL-
BRIGHTON.

Also the GREAT or RECTORIAL TITHES of the
adjoining TOWNSHIPS of GREAT and LITTLE WOR-
LASCOT.

THE ALBRIGHTON ESTATE
possesses unusually great local and other advantages:—
First—lt is situate within two miles of the

POPULOUS TOWN OF SHREWSBURY,
proverbial for the opulence, rank, and fashion of its inhabi-
tants, and not less so for the goodness of its markets, afford-
ing to the Grazier and Agriculturist a ready sale for the
produce of their farms, whatever it may be, close to their
own doors, and affording them also the opportunity of ob-
taining dung and other manure for their land, at a mode-
rate expence, besides being within three miles of lime; and,
next--

THE LAND IS FREE OF TITHE,
With the exception of a certain portion of corn and hay
tithe, and besides, free of parochial rates and dues, the
Chapelry and Township of Albrighton maintaining its own
poor, by which all the rates and taxes of the farmer are
comparatively nothing, not exceeding upon an average of
years Is. to 15d. in the pound ; and next—Coal of a
good quality, and not difficult of access, is known to be
in part of the Estate, and which, in the opinion of per-
sons well acquainted with such matters, might be worked
with considerable prospects of advantage by any monied
proprietor of judgment and spirit. Annexed there is an
ancient, yet a substantially built Mansion on the Estate,
the residence of former owners, now occupied by a farmer,
and which at an easy expence might be restored to its
former splendour, a circumstance of no small importance
to a Sportsman, from the House being in the centre of
the Shropshire Hunt, and a Pack of Harriers being kept
in the adjoining parish.
Upon the whole, to any person wishing to invest
money in the purchase of Land, either for occupation or
investment, such an opportunity as the present very
rarely occurs.

If required, half the purchase-money may remain on
security of the Estate.
Any further necessary information may be obtained
upon application to Mr. Charles Harrison, solicitor, 43,
Linenla's-inn-fields, London ; Messrs. Burley and Scat th,

good old-fashioned times when substantiability was voted

THE HIGH QUALIFICATIONS
OF MR. SMIRKE,

whose superior judgment presided over the vast improve
ments which took place a few years since; it is seated in
an extensive lawn, and enclosed from popular gaze by
lofty brick walls ; the internal accommodation is of a
character well worthy of imitation ; nothing omitted that
can contribute to comfort. The principal rooms are of
excellent proportions, partaking in an eminent degree of
the beautiful disposition of the surrounding domain, which
is laid out in unusually good taste; the best commentary
will probably be found in the simple fact, that Mr.
Repton's powerful aid contributed tb produce this desired
effect. The domestic arrangement of the Mansion is in
conformity with exceedingly good judgment, and the
offices of every description most complete and satisfactory.
The kitchen gardens are unusually productive, and encom-
passed by lofty brick walls, presenting

VALUABLE FRONTAGE OF VAST EXTENT TO

THE HIGH WESTERN ROAD,
from which an incalculable source of revenue (arising out
of ground rents) may be insured, without at all abridging
any of the material advantages of the place,

THE PARK OF SEVENTEEN ACRES BEING

SO FINELY WOODED,
