1.11. pleasure and satisfaction, makes kno that he is ho-
noured by having been selected as the ha ble individual to
OFFER for SALE BY PUBLIC AUC ON, at the Mart,
London, on THURSDAY, the 22d of A st inst., at Twelve,
a SINGULARLY DELIGHTFUL REEHOLD PRO-
PERTY. And he is proud to add at it is the FIRST
ATTEMPT at a SUBMISSION td PUBLIC OPINION
and COMPETITION of a DISTINGUISHED ESTATE
SO FAR REMOVED FROM ENGLAND.
THIS IMPORTANT ESTATE
is within one mile of
THE CITY OF ATHENS,
Nearly FOUR HUNDRED ACRES OF LAND,
Within its plains, and a
SHOOTING OR HUNTING BOX, WITH EXTEN-

SIVE GARDENS.
Before Mr. Robins ventures upon his fearfully difficult task,
he may well ask for a little forbearance with a kind public,
in not criticising too earnestly or too severely this, his first
essay as connected with an attempt to describe a splendid
Estate so nearly allied to
THE CLASSIC CITY OF ATHENS,
and so far removed from the usual sphere of his vocations—

the city and its vast renown he may safely leave to those who
are well read in the history of Greece •, his task, fortunately,
is only to give in the langaage of truth, however imperfectly
told, an unpretending description of the property under re-
view. As it would require the pen of the immortal Byron to
do it adequate justice, the writer may be well excused for
approaching it with fear and trembling ; he will, however,
venture only at a round, unvarnished tale, leaving to the
imaginative powers of those who seek such a splendid repose,
to fill up the vast, immeasurable space, which his feeble
effort must leave unaccomplished. The Villa may be thus
succinctly described :—lt is suited to a family not very large,
but whose minds are embued with reminiscences of the glory
of this once tamed city.
" Shrine of the mighty ! can it be
That this is all remains of thee ?"
It is placed WITHIN THE OLIVE GROVE
on the Plains of Athens, and from its lofty tower commands
the MOST SPLENDID AND PICTURESQUE.

THE ILLUSTRATED FAMILI BIBLE, in one ele-
gant volume, small folio, comprising also " A COM-
PLETE CONCORDANCE of the. OLD and NEW
TESTAMENTS," is stronglr recommended as decidedly
most appropriate and best adapted as a present to a new
married couple ; as a token of remembrance to a distant
friend, or on birth days or other occasions ; as testified by
the following extracts from a considerable list of critical
notices :

Copy of a letter from the Rev. Dr. RAFFLES.
Edge-hill, February, 1839.
" Gentlemen, —I am exceedingly obliged to you for having
afforded me a sight of the elegant volumes you sent for my
inspection. Your edition of the Bible, in the beauty of its
typography, and the taste displayed in its decorations, is
certainly unique ; and I trust that many will be induced to
make a book, so precious as to its contents, and so graceful
in its ornaments, the medium of expressing their regard for
those relations and friends to whom they desire to present
some token of their esteem.
" I am, Gentlemen, yours very truly,
" THOMAS RAFFLES.
" Messrs. Fisher, Son, and Co., London.

" This is an age of wonders as it respects the efforts of the
Press. Never was the art of printing so well understood as
it is in the present day. ' The illustrated Family Bible' is a
striking proof of the truth of these remarks. As a specimen
of typography it will be regarded by the best judges as unri-
valled in taste and beauty ; and in economy to the public it
is no less remarkable. With pictorial illustrations, eminent
for their skill and adaptation, a Commentary long established
in the public confidence, and Concordance written on a new
and improved principle, it is offered to families at an incon-
ceivably moderate sum. As a present to a newly-married
couple, just entering on the responsibilities of domestic life,
it may prove the means of extensive good to generations yet
unborn."—Evangelical Magazine, February, 1839.

PORTRAITS AND MEMOIRS OF THE
ARCHBISHOPS, BISHOPS, AND OTHER DISTIN-
GUISHED DIGNITARIES AND CLERGYMEN

OF THE
UNITED CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND IRELAND,

AND OF THE
EPISCOPAL CHURCH Ik/SCOTLAND,
AND THEV

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
EDITED BY THE Rev. STEPHEN ISAACSON, M.A.
TT is intended that this great National Work shall comprise
11 a series of Portraits, accompanied with brief Memoirs, of
the Archbishops, Bishops, and other living Dignitaries and
Clergymen of the United Church of England and Ireland,
both here and in our Colonies, the Episcopal ChurCh of
Scotland, and that interesting branch of the Protestant
Episcopal Church now flourishing in the United States of
America ; and the distingdished :patronage with which this
undertaking has been already honoured, inspires the Pro-
prietors with confidence that it will he highly acceptable to
the nation at large, as well as to the members of our venera-
ble and Apostolic Church.
The value of this Work will be obvious to all who deire
to see the sacred ties of Christian affection drawn more closely
between the respective orders and ranks of the Clergy and
their Congregations. To the Clergy who may wish to Possess
Portraits of the Bishops who ordained them, and are " over
them in the Lord," and likeiiase of their College and Clerical
friends ; and of living authors whom they have read and
esteem, the present Work will be full of interest and pleasure.
To Parochial Coniregations algo irtiftltwflora-high gratifica-
tion to be able individually to possess themselves of a faithful
Portrait of the Pastor from whom they ieceive the advantages
of religious instruction and spiritual consolation, and whom
they have been led to " esteem highly for his work's sake."
The numerous Lay friends and relatives of the Clergy will
also have an opportunity of obtaining accurate Portraitures
of those who are endeared to them by the ties of nature. In
all these, and many other respects, this Work cannot fail of
becoming of great utility and interest to the vast body of the
Nobility, Clergy, and Gentry of the British Empire. The
Portraits will be selected without the least regard to political
or other differences of opinion. Eminence in Ecclesiastical
rank, intellectual abilities, learning, virtue, or religious zeal,
being the great objects proposed to be recorded. ft
• The Memoirs will be confined to a review of the aqdemical
course and public life of the Clergyman whose likeness is
given, together with a list of any religious or literary works
which he may have published. Facts will be stated, while
all critical and controversial observations likely to offend will
be excluded. It has been suggested by very high authority,
that it would add much to the interest and value of the work,
if each Clergyman would furnish a short exposition of a
passage of Scripture. The Proprietors cheerfully accede to
this suggestion, and respectfully solicit the favour of such
communications. And as only about four pages on an
average can be appropriated to each Memoir and Scriptural
illustration, brevity will be highly desirable.
The Portraits will be engraved in the first style of the Art,
and neither trouble nor expense spared to render this great
Work worthy of the noble cause to which it is dedicated, and
one of the most splendid that has ever appeared.
A Part, containing three Portraits, with their respective
Memoir, will be published on the first day of every alternate
month, in a thick, handsome wrapper, for the protection of
the Plates. The size of each engraving will be nine inches by
seven. s. d.
