THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF LICHFIELD,
within five miles of Stafford, and 1:2 miles from Lichfield. A

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 obje,t. 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 1;;"ti;-
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 Berghern ; and another by
Gainst,orough, with six matchless sea pieces, by Vandervelde--
one being of large size and singularly fine, and its companion by
13ackhuysen—all these are incomparable as works of art. There
are a!so many charming specimens by the following esteemed
masters !

great variety of Antique Busts of extraordinary execution, with
some of moder❑ date. The ensemble may be pronounced one of
the richest in this country; it includes nearly 80 matchless speci.
mens 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 Neptune with the Dolphin, the Young
Bacchus with a Satyr, of Paris, of Venus (ruin the Bath, of one
of the Muses, of one of the Fates, of a Roman Youth and the
companion, a Female representing Comedy, and many more equally

thenes, Mire Antony, Shakspeare, and:Locke, magnificent specL
