due share of admiration of the literary world. Next in suc-
cesion is

But;the reader will be gratified with a faithful report in the
catalogue, which is adorned by a portrait of Horace Walpole,
and,illustrated by several drawings on wood, inimitably exe-
cuted by W. Alfred de la Motte, Esq. It is confidently be-
lieved the catalogue will be preserved as a treasure by those
who love the arts and sciences. The one by Horace Wal-
pole, it will be remembered, is out of print. The preset
one will not merely give all that he had laboured hard to
accomplish, but it will be aided by a description infinitely
more extended, and with a variety of illustrations, to entitle
it a book that will not fail to be placed in the library of evety
man of taste and research, The prico will be 75., and will
admit four persons to the public view, and be a passport to
the purchaser throughout the sale—they will be ready the
21st of March ; to be had at " Galignani's Journal,-" in
Paris; at Strawberry Hill; the. Auction Mart; and at Mr,
George Robins's Offices, Covent Garden.
