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 toeing of large size and singularly fine, and its companion by
Backhuysen—all these are incomparable as works of art. There

masters !
