This little collection was sent from Leghorn, and though it does not boast of containing any thing very magnificent; yet, there are very many interesting Objects well worthy the attention of the Antiquarian. Among other Relics there are a few Scarabei, which are beautifully engraved, and of extreme rarity-also a very large Collection of minute and beautiful Objects well adapted for Cabinets-A Wooden Stamp with Hieroglyphics, having apparently been used for stamping Bricks-A Papyris in the Hieroglyphical Character, with coloured Figures, about ten feet long, &c.

Date of Sale: March 5, 1836.
