*** The various Works have been assigned to n ustees upon
Trust for the Subscribers.

THE BIBLE is that published by Macklin; the best
edition of the best of books, expanded, with the Illus-
trative Engravings, into Forty-five large folio volumes, in
superb condition, and it contains nearly Seven Thousand
Drawings and Engravings, among which are all the most in-
teresting works that illustrate, pictorially, the sacred text.
The Times newspaper has described these illustrations
justly, as extending through productions of the most perfect
art, at every period, from that of Michael Angelo to that of
Reynolds and West. The work also contains One Hundred
and Thirteen original Drawings and Vignette Embellish-
ments to the several Books of the Holy Scriptures, by P. J.
De Loutherbourg, R.A. ; and also manusctipts of the Dedi-
cations and various other appropriate and beautiful speci-
mens of penmanship. Engravings and Etchings after Rai:
faelle, Marc Antonio, Albert Durer, Ca llot, Rembrandt,
&c., constitute the mass of the illuminations, and they in-
clude every ocular fact, circumstance, and object to which
the holy writ alludes. Trees, Plants, Flowers, Quadrupeds,
Birds, Fishes, Insects,—Fossils in proof of the universal
Deluge, and the most complete and perfect Atlases, are
among the subjects of these splendid illustrations.
According to the present plan, there will be Three Hun-
dred and Fifty Subscribers at Ten Guineas each, to contest
for this gorgeous prize. The Proprietor intends not to re-
tain a single Ticket, and the decision will be made after the
plan of the Art Union, as to the modes of drawing for the
prizes at that Institution.
The decision will take place at Mrs. PARKES S, No. 22,
Golden-square ; of which notice shall be sent at least ten days
previous to the day of drawing.
The Subscribers present will be competent to proceed to
the decision, and whoever proves the successful competitor,
to him or her will be assigned the Forty-five Volumes of
BOWYER'S UNIQUE BIBLE, with its gorgeous illus-
trations, to be removed at his or her expense.
The other prize will be drawn for at the same time. It is
an original picture by the late W. HILTON, R.A., one of the
beat productions from his hand, and its subject the Trium-
phal Entry of the Duke of Wellington into Madrid, on the
12th of August, 1812.
It ought to be understood, that, though the holder of a
Ten Guinea Ticket may possess one or other of these great
works,—THE BIBLE, OR HILTON'S PICTURE,—yet those
who do not gain either will not be losers; for, every Sub-
scriber receives prints to the full value of his Ten Guinea
Ticket, to be selected from the annexed lists ; so that, in
fact, his chances for the Bible and the Picture cost him
nothing.
The novel features of this plan are—that every purchaser
of a ticket receives immediately the full value of his money,
independently of his future chance.
Every purchaser of a ticket of Ten Guineas, is not only in
the condition of a private purchaser of plates to that amount,
but he has in virtue of that ticket a chance of securing to
himself the great Bible Prize of 3,000 Guineas value, or the
great Picture Prize of 500 Guineas value. It cannot, there-
fore, be doubted that the Subscription List, which is limited
to 350 names, will be shortly filled up, and an early applica-
tion is recommended to all intending purchasers.
The Illustrated Bible, in 45 large folio volumes, may be
inspected any day, between the hours of eleven and four, at
the house of Mrs. PARKES, 22, Golden-square, where Hil-
ton's Picture may also be seen.
The plan at present proposed for drawing is as follows :-
350 Tickets, with the Subscribers names thereon, to be
placed in a wheel for that purpose. The first drawn name
will be entitled to Hilton's Picture; the last drawn name
will have the 45 splendid volumes of the Holy Scriptures.
Each Subscriber receiving the full value of his Prints not
connected with either of the great prizes, so that there can
be no blanks.
