History of the Collection in the
British Museum.

The sale this week at Sotheby's for

his father to the nation suggests few
notes about British kings and royal
princes as collectors. Royal person
ages may have better opportunities
than other people in this respect, but
most OF the great Libraries have been
formed by mobiles not Of royal blood
and commoners. If we except Henry
VI, and perhaps Humphrey Duke Of
Gloucester and John Duke of Bedford,
no English kingsor prince up to the
reign of Edward " was known as a
bibliophile. Among the Harleian MSS.
in the British Museum are preserved

Henry VII, uOWsNtI, was TIC III 81
English king to form library Of any
Importance. 1t contained the splendid
volumes on vellum which were pur-
chased from Antoine Verard, the Paris
publisher. and which are now lin the
British Museum. His son, Henry VIII,
added many valuable works to his
fathers library, among them "Twoo
great Bibles In Latten." But, besides
love for books, Henry was a patron
of the fine arts, though not to the same
princely extent as his royal neighbor

works like the superb Jane Seymour,
in Vienna, and the ANNE of Cleves,'
In the Louvre.
Edward vi and Mary Tudor did little
to increase the royal library. though
she had considerable artistic taste, as
shown in her quietly magnificent dress
and the charm of her jewelry. Her

seen richly bound volumes from her
library, but there are few books col
lected by her to be found in the royal
| collection. James / and his eldest son
may be claimed as collectors, in par
ticular Henry Stuart, who, though
fonder of arms and horses and
sports" laid the foundation OF the mag
niflcent collection of works of art
formed by his brother Charles I, whose
principal addition to the royal library
was the famous "Codex Alexandrinus,'
now In the British Museum. Cromwell
dispersed the royal pictures, but the
library escaped.

compositions by Cosimo Rosselli and
Matteo di Giovanni, purchased in 1911,
are paintings of great interest and
beauty. There are several good SOU
venirs of the art Of the Low Coun-
tries, including enc or two Primitives.
Two portraits by Halls are in his best
manner. The Rembrandt Is one OF his
finest portraits Of Hendrikje, and with

duction Is a wonderful affair of truth
and light. Van Dyke Is well repre-
sented, and there are good specimens or
Teniers, Van der Velde, and Karel du
Jardin. In the French list there are
paintings by Vatican, Boucher, and
Pater. The later Italian works en-
brace the bewitching Tiepolo already
mentioned, a portrait by Tintoretto,
and a NEUROLOGICAL piece by Veronese.
Finally, this Scottish gallery gives am
pie space to the painters Of Scotland.
Raeburn is adequately represented,
there are good portraits by Allan Ram

paintings by divers other native sons,
