THE CELEBRATED ADMIRAL LORD ANSON,

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 Jardin ; a landscape by Bergliem ; 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 t
