OF TILE 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 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 Jartlin ; 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
J3ackbuysen—all these are incomparable as works of art. There
are also many charming specimens by the following esteemed

Titian Rembrandt K. Du Jardlia Zuceerelli

the richest in this country; it includes nearly SO matchless sped.

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 many more equally
