EXETER 'CHANGE, STRAND.

The valuable Exhibition of every description of 11Iiscella-
neous Property for absolute Sale.
M' R. GEORGE ROBINS begs to intimate
to the public, that in consequence of this Ancient
and Respectable Repository being doomed (by means of the
provisions of an Act of Parliament for Improving the
Strand) to be immediately "rased to the ground," Mr.
Clarke, the Proprietor of Exeter 'Change, has directed him
TO SELL BY PUBLIC AUCTION,

AND WITHOUT THE LEAST RESERVE,
On WEDNESDAY, the 22d day of April next, and Nine
following days, (Sundays excepted) at Twelve o'clock, the
unusually Extensive and Valuable Stock which for so many
years has been the subject of admiration and astonish-
ment to the multitudinous persons who have so frequently
congregated at
VIE ANCIENT and RESPECTABLE ESTABLISH-

MENT of EXETER 'CHANGE.
It has been proverbial for a lengthened period, and was the
pride of the late respected and present proprict4r, that
the variety in this exhibition (infinitely surpassing any
other in this great metropolis) was so great, that it were
hardly possible to inquire for any thing, either useful or
ornamental, that could not be on the instant provided
there. The wealth which was the necessary consequence
of such an extensive trade is mainly to be attributed to
the proprietor's adopting from the commencement the good
(but old fashioned) notion of having every thing of the very
best description. The following is necessarily a brief nut•
line of the very great variety and excellence which will be
found conspicuous in this collection.

THE CELEBRATED COLLECTION OF THE
HIGrILY_ESTEEMED WORKS OF BENJAMIN
WEST, ESQ., THE LATE PRESIDENT OF THE
ROYAL ACADEMY; TOGETHER WITH THE
SPLENDID EXHIBITION ROOMS, ERECTED
BY MU. NASH, AT AN EXPENCE EXCEEDING
4,000 POUNDS, AND THE RESIDENCE OF THE

VENERABLE DECEASED, IN N E WAI AN-

STREET.
11,1 R. GEORGE ROBINS has the grati-
fication to announce to the Public, and more
especially those who encourage the FINE ARTS, that it
has been his good fortune to be honoured by the Executors
of the revered and highly gifted Artist,
BENJAMIN WEST,
LATE PRESIDENT OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY,
To offer for unreserved competition, on FRIDAY and
SATURDAY, the 22d and 23d days of May, at Twelve
o'Clock,
THE UNEQUALLED COLLECTION OF
HISTORICAL PICTURES,

Including 170 of the SUBLIME EFFORTS of his vast and
comprehensive mind. _ _

The great renown acquired by this distinguished orna-
ment of his Art, will necessarily circumscribe the necessity
of going into a very long detail : this is fortunate, inas-
much as the appalling difficulty of doing strict justice
would weaken the humble effort, and thus render more im-
perfect a sketch, that pretends not to give more than a very
faint outline of the brilliant picture, to which a much more,
talented man would feel himself incompetent to do adequate
justice. In viewing this

SPLENDID EXHIBITION OF THE FOUNDER AND
FATHER or BRITISH HISTORICAL PAINTING,
The nation at large will laMent that in times like these,
when the march of intellect and improvement has made
such rapid strides, so great a treasure as

MR. WEST'S GALLERY
Should be left to the hazard and uncertainty of the ham-
mer; it was surely not appreciating too highly the English
taste and liberality to contemplate

THE 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-
plished 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 concurring 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 TUE THIRD,
Who, in the singleness of his mind, and unbounded libe-
rality, commanded the late President to paint Twirsztr-
TWO PICTURES, to adorn
THE ROYAL CHAPEL IN WINDSOR.
Our present Monarch was graciously pleased to restore to
Mr. West's family these precious gents; 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 far exceed the limit of an advertisement to men-
tion separately all 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 for which 10,0001. was refused) was exhibited in
Pall-mall, and 240,000 persons were gratified by a sight
of it.
