TILE 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-
piished 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 concurrin,,' 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 THE 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 gems; 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 fae exceed the limit of an advertisement to men-
tion separately rill 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 fur which 10,0001. was refused) was exhibited in
and 210,000 persons were gratified by a sight
of it.

IN CAVENDISH-SQUARE.
A disenguished Freehold Residence, tv:th large Garden and
Offices of every description.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is entrusted to
SELL by PRIVATE TREATY, (or to LET for
a period of years),
A NOBLE FREEHOLD MANSION,
erected in the good old times, when substantiality was
voted an essential appendage; it has recently been decorat-
ed in a manner corresponding with the best taste, and is
most delightfully situate on the

EAST SIDE OF CAVENDISH-SQUARE.
It comprehends an entrance hall, in which there is a
porter's lodge. The entrance hall communicates with a
morning room, 19 feet by 21, and that with a library 22
feet by 19, and both with au eating.room, SS feet by 23
feet, also with a new back stone staircase, from the base-
ment story to the attics, on which back staircase there is
a water closet for every story, and water is laid on to the
highest attics. Over the eating-romn there is a drawing
room, 39 feet feet by 23, that communicates with three
other rooms of smaller dimensions, all communicating
with the spacious drawing room, and each with the
two staircases; over these are bed rooms, with dressing
rooms, and large convenient closets. The attics are
newly built. The basement story,eousiets of a spacious new
kitchen, apart from the mansion, a large convenient
housekeeper's room, butler's pantry, wine and beer cellars,
&c. ; also a fine spring of pure water, and a stove at the
bottom of the back staircase, to warm and air the whole
mansion. The stables 'and coach houses, with servants'
rooms over them, are in a superior etyle, situate at the
bottom of a spacious garden, which is in view of all the
rooms in the back of the mansion, as the front rooms are
ofthe garden of the Square. The Premises are freehold,
and in the most perfect state of repair, fit for immediate
occupation ; and it is supposed there is not in the Metro-
polis, and, to be clisppted of, a mansion so well suited to
A FAMILY OF DISTINCTION:

From this !description it will be leen that the arrangement
is altogether so complete as to leave nothing to be desired ;
in face it would partake of the work of supererogation to
add one word beyond this simple expresSinn—that it
was remodelled and completed under the direction of Sir
Jaffrey Wyatville.
