library, morning room, and boudoir, with many
BRILLIANT CHIMNEY AMD PIER GLASSES,

of the latest fashion, and most gorgeous in effect; these chambers
have only recently been fitted up ;,.• likewise the excellent Furniture

the extensive range of offices.

THE COLLECTION OF PICTURES,
Including those

OF THE HIGHEST CLASS,
numbers 120. It was formed by

THE CELEBRATED ADMIRAL LORD ANSON,

who had unusual facilities of enriching his gallery with gems from
the continent, and who, 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 Sound ; 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
