STRAWBERRY HILL-HORACE WALPOLE'S

The magnificent and costly Contents, the Sale of which will
necessarily extend over a space of One Month, and un-
questionably, be the greatest feature of this Season, greatly
exceeding the fruits of deep research and liberal expendi-
ture of any antecedent Auction.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS is honoured by having been
selected by _

THE EARL OF WALDEGRAVE

to SELL by PUBLIC COMPETITION,
TIII4 CONTENTS OF STRAWBERRY HILL,
which it may fearlessly be proclaimed will be

MOST DISTINGUISHED GEM THAT HAS EVER
ADORNED THE ANNALS OF AUCTIONS.

It :is definitely fixed for Monday, the 25th of April, and 23
following days (Sundays excepted) ; wherein will be found
a repast for the lovers of literature and the fine arts of which
bygone days furnish no previous example, and it would be in
vain to contemplate it in times to come. TlsSs classical de-
pository of all that is rare includes theisyst beautiful speci-
mens of every known manufacture th ghout the civilised
world

HORACE WALPOLE,
it will be remembered, from his deservedly high rank in soci-
ety and his accomplished manners, had the
ENTREE TO EVERY COURT IN EUROPE ;
he availed himself of this courtesy in a manner becoming his
high station and exalted acquirements, aided by a profound
judgment, that has never been questioned, and being himself
passionately fond of the fine arts, gave his undivided attention
for a period extending over sixty years, to the formation of
this
EMPORIUM OF TASTE AND VERTU,
presenting an imperishable monument, which must perpetuate
his fame to the end of Time.
ON VIEWING THIS WONDERFUL MUSEUM OF ALL THAT
IS RARE AND PRECIOUS,
it will be seen that in every department it is perfect (and this
term is used advisedly), since it unquestionably ranks so
high, that everything througho
lt Europe must necessarily re-
tire before this splendid miscellany ; and it is fearlessy pro-
claimed, will, on a cursory review, produce a sensation that
it would be vain to seek for in a reminiscence to any former
period of
ENGLISH HISTORY.
Before venturing upon the difficult task of endeavouring to
place upon record everything that is rare, unequalled, and
unapproachable throughout the civilized world, Mr. Robins
must appeal to the kindly feelings of those who will be aware
of the Herculean task that has devolved upon him. He is
fully sensible he is about to tread on classic ground, and, in
sincerity, he must state he approaches the task in fear and
trembling ; lie feels, and he is persuaded his readers will re-
spond to the fact, that a master-mind should preside in the
vain endeavour to condense in the limited space of an an-
nouncement, the multitudinous associations of everything
which liberality, good taste, and extraordinary and indefati-
gable research could place in

THIS WONDERFUL MUSEUM OF ART AND SCIENCE;
aided by an expenditure altogether unlimited.
HORACE WALPOLE,
a finished gentleman, with the most accomplished manners,
gave bis undivided attention exclusively to render
STRAWBERRY HILL PERFECT AND UNIQUE.
The public will see how well his mighty ambition was satis-
fied. It is now time to endeavour to awaken the undivided
attention of this country (so justly celebrated for its foster-
ing care of the arts) and the whole Continent of Europe, to
a brief outline of a few items connected with a sale that can
have no contemporary previous or prospectively. It is really

The CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is a gentle sti-
mulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life, and
is, therefore, calculated to afford decided relief to those who
have fallen into a state of chronic debility. In such persons
the appetite is generally defective, and the relish of life is al-
most subdued ; they are wanting in that activity of mind
and energy of conduct which their affairs require ; and partly
from conscious weakness, partly from excessive apprehen-
sions, are liable to sink despondently into a premature grave.
It is for these that Messrs. Perry and Co., Surgeons, parti-
cularly designed their CORDIAL BALM of SYR lACUM.
Whatever enriches the blood, without inflaming it ; what-
ever braces without stimulating too violently the nervous
system ; whatever frees and disburdens the viscera and other
important organs ; whatever resolves obstructions, and throws
oil' viscid humours ; whatever strengthens the general habit,
and brings back the muscularfibres to their natural and healthy
tone ; whatever is calculated to produce, in a considerable
degree, all or any of these effects, must be, under certain mo-
difications and restrictions, equally adapted to every species
of decay. Hence, though the Cordial Balm of Syriacum
makes a direct attack upon the many-headed hydra in one
quarter only, it will be found to apply indirectly or collate-
rally, to almost every other ' • in short, the debility of nature
can be completely reinstated by this excellent medicine, for
its reanimating powers exceed almost credibility ; its fine
rich stimulating balsamic stomach qualities—its purification
of the blood—and, above all, the complete invigorator of the
nervous system, whereby the whole faculties become re-
stored to their proper power and functions. and the fallen
fabric of life is raised up to beauty, consistency, and dura-
tion, upon the ruins of an emaciated and premature decay, to
sound and pristine health.

As nothing can be better adapted to help and nourish the
constitution, so there is nothing more generally acknow-
ledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings, loss
of appetite, indigestion, depression of spirits, trembling or
shaking of the hands or limbs, obstinate cough, shortness of
breath, or consumptive habits. It possesses wonderful effi-
cacy in all cases of syphilis, fits, head-ache, weakness,
heaviness and lowness of spirits, dimness of sight, confused
thoughts, wandering of the mind, vapours, and melancboly ;
and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually remos ed
by its use.

Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women,
are under its immediate influence. Old coughs, astbmas,
and consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily
cured. Poverty of blood, and emaciated limbs will, ere
long, meet the happiest change ; the chill, watery fluid will
become rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with
flesh, firm and healthy.
Sold in Bottles, price Ils. each, or the quantity of four in
one Bottle for 335., by which one lls. Bottle is saved,
Messrs. PERRY expect, when consulted by letter, the usual
fee of one pound, without which no notice whatever can be
taken of the communication (postage pre-paid.)
