PREFATORY REMARKS.

"Some cry up Gunnesbury,
For Sion some declare,
And some say that with Chiswick House
No villa can compare;
But ask the beaux of Middlesex,
Who know the country well,
If Strawberry Hill—if Strawberry Hill
Don't bear away the bell."

THE EARL OF BATH'S *Ballad on Strawberry Hill.*

THE individual who has received instructions from the Right Honourable
the Earl of Waldegrave, to distribute to the world the unrivalled and wondrous
Collection at Strawberry Hill, formed by his Lordship's great ancestor, Horace
Walpole, Earl of Orford, and has thus had placed within his power the ability
to enrich the royal and national collections of every civilized country, the galleries
of the cognoscenti, and the cabinets of amateurs, in every class of the highest
walks of art; has had the singular good fortune, during a long professional career,
to be the favoured agent in introducing to the public, in endless variety, unique
collections of all that is rare in taste and *vertu*, and although, through his instru-
mentality, he has exchanged properties extending over several millions of pounds
sterling, yet he approaches his present herculean undertaking with feelings such
as he never experienced on any former occasion, fully sensible that the dis-
tribution of this precious museum, crowded with the tangible records of past
ages—treasures consecrated by the hand of time and of genius—far exceeding in
interest and importance all that has preceded it in the chronicles of auctions, and
that no future sale can by possibility enter into rivalry with it.

PREFATORY REMARKS.

Whether he considers the hallowed recollections which surround a pictorial and historical abode, so dear to its distinguished originator, and so often and so tenderly referred to in his letters and writings, or the extreme rarity and value of the collection contained therein, rich in all that can delight the antiquarian, the scholar, the virtuoso, or the general lover of art, so perfect and unapproachable in all its details that each will quit it with the fixed opinion that his peculiar tastes were those to which the energies, the learning, and the research of the noble founder were directed; when there pass before him in review the splendid Gallery of Paintings, teeming with the finest works of the greatest masters,—matchless Enamels, of immortal bloom, by Petitot, Boit, Bordier, and Zincke,—Chasings, the workmanship of Cellini and Jean de Bologna,—noble specimens of Faenza Ware, from the pencils of Robbia and Bernard Palizzi,—Glass, of the rarest hues and tints, executed by Jean Cousin and other masters of the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeen centuries,—Limoges Enamels of the period of the Renaissance, by Leonard and Courtoise,—Roman and Grecian Antiquities, in Bronze and Sculpture,—Oriental and European China, of the choicest forms and colours,—exquisite and matchless Missals, painted by Raphael and Julio Clovio,—magnificent specimens of cinque cento Armour,—Miniatures, illustrative of the most interesting periods of history,—a valuable collection of Drawings and Manuscripts,—Engravings, in countless numbers and of infinite value,—a costly Library, extending to fifteen thousand volumes, abounding in splendid editions of the classics, illustrated, scarce and unique works, with ten thousand other relics of the arts and history of by-gone ages,—he may well feel overpowered at the evident impossibility of rendering to each that lengthened notice which their merits and their value demand. He has, however, attempted to supply this as far as possible by the introduction of notes into the body of the catalogue, many of them from the pen of Walpole himself, whose work on this, the favourite object of his life, printed at his own press at Strawberry Hill, has, from its scarcity, become an object of value to the Bibliomaniac; but interesting as these must prove, he considers that something beyond this is due to the memory of the mighty master who planned

and matured this wondrous whole, and whose life, almost from the cradle to the
tomb, was occupied in snatching from the depredations of time the few remaining
specimens of the classic ages—the treasures of gothic halls and cathedrals—and
the antiquities of the middle ages; and feeling that every individual who visits
this *Musée de Rareté*, will desire to know something of the labours of the mighty
spirit who, by the magic of his pen, has caused him to lose “the memory of
himself” in the pages of romance, and with the sentiment that none but a
poet or a novelist should illustrate the classic abode of the author of the
Castle of Otranto, he with pleasure transfers to his Prefatory Remarks the
following characteristic article from the Miscellany of W. Harrison Ainsworth,
Esq., who having so admirably illustrated those national monuments, the “Tower
of London,” and “Windsor Castle,” has, with his customary tact, turned his
attention to the most striking feature of the eighteenth century, and thus
introduces the reader to

STRAWBERRY HILL.

"The following account of pictures and rarities is given with a view to their future dispersion, the several purchasers will find a history of their purchases, nor do virtuosos dislike to refer to such a catalogue for an authentic certificate of their curiosities." *Preface to the Description of Strawberry Hill, by HORACE WALPOLE.*

ORD ORFORD, scarcely known by his title, but celebrated throughout Europe as Horace Walpole, was one to whose refined taste the present age is as deeply indebted for the impetus which he gave to the study of the works of art of the Middle Ages, as the century in which he lived, for the instruction and amusement afforded by his writings. His letters are enduring monuments of epistolary style; his publications on the Fine Arts, the Drama, Fiction, Biography, and general Literature, attest his various ability; and Strawberry Hill yet remains to shew, not only how much could be accomplished by one man, but how admirably he performed the self-allotted task, which was throughout one long labour of love.—But Strawberry Hill, with all its treasures, like many a place of older renown, is destined to illustrate the sad truth, that 'nothing on earth continueth in one stay,' and to this contingency the noble collector of its wealth of art appears to have been fully alive; nay, more, the passage which we have selected to introduce this imperfect account, clearly indicates that such was his expectation.

viii.

STRAWBERRY HILL.

“It is impossible to witness, without feelings of regret, the dispersion of objects on whose acquirement a whole life has been spent; but, at the same time, it may be questioned whether this almost inevitable fate be not productive of corresponding advantages. An object is prized, not only from its intrinsic value, but from its association with remarkable events or illustrious names. Thus, the antique mirror, the jewelled goblet, the Damascened blade, may all be beautiful in themselves; but they acquire a rarer value, are invested with far higher attributes, when we know that one of these reflected the fair features of a Mary Stuart, or a Margueritte de Valois; that another was brimmed with ruby wine at the feasts of the chivalrous founder of the Garter; or that a third belonged to the identical poniard which slew a Medicis, or hung by the side of a Du Guesclin. When, in addition to historical recollections, we find that men of taste and learning have subsequently been the possessors of these objects, and have conferred upon them a fresh celebrity, they rise in estimation with each occasion, and are more eagerly sought by the public; the new link gives increased value to the chain; and when, after an interval, they are again dispersed, the circle of information is widened, and the means of improvement become more generally diffused.

“Another view of the case may also be taken: when the collection, as in the present instance, is a larger one, a number of its treasures must, of necessity, be hidden or overlooked; while passing from the hands of one to those of many, the reputation of each is distinctly proclaimed by every new possessor.

“This thought must reconcile us to the fate of Strawberry Hill, which, as it now stands, we take the last opportunity of describing. In doing so, we shall not,—for our space would not admit of it,—follow the details of the catalogue, our object being rather to indicate some of its most striking features, than to guide the reader through all its mazes.

“In our passage from the low monastic doorway to the hall of entrance, attention is for a moment arrested by a small, very small oratory, wherein is a saint enshrined, and beyond this, by a cloister, which contains two objects of interest. One of these is the portrait of Leonora d’Este, ‘Dia Helionora,’ a bas relief head, in marble, cold as the princess herself to her unhappy lover, who has bestowed upon her

‘One half the laurel that o’ershades his grave.’

If this portrait be really like, Leonora was certainly no beauty. The other attraction is the vase of ‘the pensive Selima,’ whose fate inspired another poet. It is quite deep enough to drown a cat! Passing these, without attempting to reconcile associations, the portal of the ‘Castle’ expands, and we enter the hall, whose only light is derived, as Horace Walpole describes, ‘from lean windows fattened with rich saints in painted glass,’ and where depends the lantern ‘which casts the most venerable gloom on the stairs that ever was seen since the days of Abelard.’

“A narrow passage leads from hence into the ‘Refectory,’ and here leisure and space are allowed to begin that inquiry which promises so much, and keeps its promise so well. The pictures in this room are, for the most part, family portraits, or those of intimate friends. At the lower end stands the great minister, Sir Robert, in all the glory of the robes of the Garter, and his two wives on either hand: the first, Catherine Shorter, a copy from Kneller, by Jarvis,— a very pretty woman, dressed simply in white, with a blue scarf, en sautoir; and the second, Maria Skerrett (irreverently called ‘Moll,’ by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu), by Jarvis himself,

in the costume of a shepherdess; she is very pretty also. Their simplicity of demeanour and attire contrast strikingly with Sir Robert's splendour. Beneath these portraits is placed a beautiful table of Sicilian jasper, covered with fine old porcelain, and still more antique Etruscan relics, in the shape of bowls and beakers and vases; and over the table hangs an object of great curiosity and interest, a hunting horn of rich enamel, upon copper; the painting being on one side the

History of St. Hubert, and on the other, a series of allegorical figures. The enamel is of that beautiful kind called Limoges, of which there are so many specimens in other parts of the house. To return to the pictures: we have in a row the pictures of Sir Robert's sons and daughters. Here are, the second Lord Orford, attired in red velvet; Edward, in the robes of the Bath; and Horace Walpole himself in a scanty, collarless, blue velvet coat, and a waistcoat of crimson velvet, reaching down to his knees. The daughters are Lady Maria Walpole and Lady Malpas; the last a beauty. Over the chimney-piece of pointed architecture (designed by Bentley) is a picture by Sir Joshua Reynolds, called 'Conversation,' containing the portraits of Lord Edgecumb, Mr. Williams, and George Selwyn, who never missed an execution, and who, when he had a tooth taken out, 'dropped his handkerchief as a signal for the dentist to begin.' Sir Horace Mann, and his brother, Galfridus, painted by Astley; Lady Anne Osborn, by Sir Godfrey Kneller; and Lady Dorothy Walpole, in a Turkish dress, by Jarvis, are scattered about the room. More recent additions are Lord and Lady Radstock; but the gem of the collection is the charming group by Sir Joshua—the three beauties, the Ladies Laura, Maria, and Horatia Waldegrave, assembled round a work-table. The colours are gone from this attractive picture, but unequalled grace and delicacy still remain; it is far finer than 'the Graces,' by the same master, in the National Gallery. The massive ebony tables, the chairs, of Walpole's own design, that seem built, as no doubt they were, expressly to accommodate the wearers of the wide-spreading skirts of that day; the antique bureau, and the famous clock, by Le Roi; and more than all, the windows ornamented with fragments of Dutch art (one specimen of which, a cobbler at work before an open window, whistling to a bird in a cage, is marvellous for its effect), are not among the least attractions of the Refectory.

"Ascending the staircase, we pause at the first landing-place, and then enter the Breakfast-room, 'furnished with blue paper, and blue and white linen.' It is the prettiest and most cheerful place that can be imagined, and is filled with objects of various kinds, miniatures predominating. Of these, there are two frames, carefully concealed by green silk blinds, which contain so many perfect gems. The first consists of nine miniatures, principally by Isaac and Peter Oliver, and is devoted to Sir Kenelm Digby and his family. Four of them are portraits of Sir Kenelm's wife, the beautiful Venetia Stanley, who is represented at three different periods of her life, and once after death. The last is extremely curious, and, like all the others,

exquisitely finished. Sir Kenelm's devotion to his lovely wife is shadowed forth in the motto— 'Vindica te tibi,' which appears in gold letters above his own portrait. The second frame contains fifteen miniatures, chiefly by Hilliard and Petitot: the most striking portraits are, Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, Carey, Lord Hunsdon, the Duke of Vendôme, 'with a red knot,' the Princess Palatine, the Duchesse de Montpensier, and the Duchesse de Montbazon.

But the most remarkable of all is a miniature painting, representing the interior of the House of Lords, with King James the First on the throne. This picture is so small as to require a magnifying-glass to trace it accurately. Over the chimney-piece are also some interesting portraits:—Miss Farren (afterwards Countess of Derby), gay, and sparkling, and high-coloured, her laughing eyes and mouth all comedy; Pope; Lady Mary Leppel; and a later celebrity, in severe contrast to Lady Derby, Mrs. Hannah More. In other parts of the room are, Holbein, by himself; Cowley the poet, by Sir Peter Lely; the Counte de Grammont, at the discovery of whose portrait in Paris, Walpole was in such raptures; and, 'in a frame of silver *filigraine*,' the famous Charlotte de la Trimouille (*also* Countess of Derby), the heroic defender of Lathom House—

‘Who, miracle of womankind,
Lent mettle to the meanest hind
That manned the castle wall.’

There are, also, more portraits of the Digby family; and, among the most remarkable, an unknown head, by Holbein; Thomas Seymour, Lord Sudely, the High Admiral, and brother of the Protector Somerset, with pride in his eye to dare anything, and a neck that seems to defy the block, to which his turbulent nature led him. We must not omit the well-known picture of Madame du Deffand, and the Duchesse de Choiseul; that of Rose, the royal gardener, presenting the first pine-apple grown in England to Charles the Second; the portrait of the late Margravine of Anspach, then a young and very pretty woman; nor the two Miss Berrys, with countenances finely expressive of intelligence. But the list would be a long one were we to enumerate half the contents of this room, which is, for the most part, as Horace Walpole left it, with the exception of the portraits of the present Earl and Countess of Waldegrave, and some modern ornaments.

“Before we approach the Library, the small, but curious collection, meets the view, which Walpole called his ‘Armoury;’ and thus describes:—‘A vestibule open with three arches on the landing-place, and niches full of trophies of old Coats of mail, Indian shields, made of rhinoceros’ hides; broad-swords, quivers, long-bows, arrows, and spears; all *supposed* to have

STRAWBERRY HILL.

"Another very precious volume is a collection of original drawings, in pen and ink, by Callot, the greater part of which have never been engraved, though the title-page bears the usual designation of 'Diverses Fantaisies de noble Jac. Callot.'

"One MS. of great interest, is a book of the expenses of Villiers, first Duke of Buckingham, kept by Sir Sackvill Crowe, probably his Grace's treasurer. The various items are very curious, and shew the unsparing profusion with which he scattered his money. One long list refers to the journey to Spain, when he went on his embassy to Madrid. Here is one item:— 'Given to the Condessa of Olivarez, her butler, for fruit, 14s.' This same Condessa of Olivarez was the 'teterrima causa' of Buckingham's sudden departure from Madrid, which broke off the projected alliance between Charles and the Infanta. Other disbursements refer to the last of the race of court jesters; for instance:—'To the King's foole, 13l. 6s. 8d.;' 'To Archy, 20l.;' 'To Rosado, 13l. 6s. 8d.' And the following item proves the value set by Buckingham upon the services of his dentist:—'Given to a tooth-drawer, 20l.' The whole of the accounts throw considerable light on the personal history of the favourite.

"Amongst the printed books, the most curious and rare are, 'The New Year's Gift,' written by 'Microphilus' (the dwarf Jeffery Hudson), and presented by him, in 1638, to Henrietta, the Queen of Charles the First; 'Le Tombeau de Margueritte de Valois, Reine de Navarre;,' a copy of Virgil, printed by Baskerville, with drawings on the covers by Lady Diana Beauclerc; on the edges, which are highly gilt, is a view of Blenheim, which disappears altogether when the volume is closed. The identical copy of Homer used by Pope for his translation; it is a

small Amsterdam edition, date 1707, with the text in Greek and Latin, and bears this inscription: 'E Libris, A. Pope, 1714;' and lower down, 'Finished yᵉ translation in Feb. 1719-20, A. Pope;' it is illustrated by a pencil-sketch of Twickenham Church in the poet's own hand; two school-books of Horace Walpole, Homer, and Horace, very small and neat; 'Letters et Mémoires du Chevalier d'Eon,' by him-(her-)self, with several portraits, printed in London by Jacques Dixwell, 1764; the 'Catalogue of the King's (Charles the First's) Collection of Limnings,' published at Walpole's expense; Genealogical History of Yvery, London, 1742, 2 vols. large 8vo, printed by H. Walpole and never sold; the Earl of Northumberland's Household-book, &c.

"Of other rarities, are a letter from Catherine Parr, the widow of Henry the Eighth, written, in the year she died, 'to her constant Thomas Seymour, Lord High Admiral of

xiv.

STRAWBERRY HILL.

England,' and signed, 'Catherine, the Queen, K. P.;' and a most characteristic letter from Oliver Cromwell to his wife, the day after the battle of Dunbar. We cannot resist the temptation of transcribing it:—

“ 'For my beloved wife, Elizabeth Cromwell, at the Cockpitt, theise :

“ 'My deerest,—I have not leisure to write much, but I could chide thee that in many of thy letters thou writest to mee, that I should not be unmindfull of thee and thy little ones. Truly, if I love you not too well, I think I err not onn the othere much. Thou art deerer to me than any creature; lett that suffice. The Lord hath shewed us an exceedinge mercye— whoo can tell how great it is ? My weake fayth hath been upheld—I have beene in my inward man marvellously supported, though I assure thee I grow an oulde man, and feel infirmitys of age marvelouslystealing upon me—would my corruptions did as fast decrease ! Pray on my behalfe in the latter respect. The particulars of the late successe Harry Vane or Gil. Pickeringe will impart to thee. My love to all dear friendes.—I rest thine, O. Cromwell.

“ 'Dunbarr, the 4th of Sept., 1650.'

“Of the portraits above the Library we shall say nothing—they are all family ones; but a few miniatures must be noticed, as well as a curious padlock, in the shape of a hand; a bronze lamp of the cinque cento, which forms the initial letter at the head of this article, and many urns, ossuaria, and antique relics. The gallantry of Henry the Eighth is conspicuously set forth in the little clock of silver gilt (drawn below), which he presented to Anne Boleyn on the morning of his marriage. It is richly chased and engraved, and ornamented

with fleur de lys, &c. On the top sits a lion, bearing the arms of England. The weights, which are gilt, are curiously chased with the initials of Henry and Anne within true-lovers'—knots. One bears the inscription, 'The most happye,' the other, the royal motto. This love token was, doubtless, meant as an emblem of enduring affection. It remains the same, after an interval of more than three centuries; but four years only after it was given, the object of Henry's eternal love was sacrificed on the scaffold. The clock still goes; it should have stopped for ever when Anne Boleyn died! Over the fire-place is a specimen of the fine arts in the 15th century,—a large picture for the time, representing the marriage of Henry the Sixth of England with Magaret of Anjou. It is painted with all the care and fidelity of expression which characterized the illuminated MSS. of the period. The miniatures are of later date; one is the portrait of a natural son of Henry the Eighth, whose youth promised well for his

STRAWBERRY HILL.

future fame. He is painted in his shirt and nightcap, which is most curiously embroidered with black, and the legend round the picture informs us that it is the likeness of 'Henry, Duck off Richmod. *Ætatis Suæ XV.*' Beside the *Duck* is Sir Francis *Drake*, the navigator, by Hilliard; there are, also, the portraits of the High Admiral Nottingham, Gondomar the Spanish Ambassador, and Mary Fairfax, the widow of Villiers, second Duke of Buckingham.

"The Star Chamber, though rich in painted glass, cabinets of medals, old coffers, and triangular Welsh chairs, 'picked up by Dickey Bateman for three and sixpence a-piece,' will not detain us long—though, if we examined only the coins *seriatim*, our stay might 'stretch to the crack of doom.' We shall simply advert to the broad piece of Elizabeth, in which the resemblance was so faithfully ugly that she forbade its issue; and to the satirical silver medal struck in Holland, of Oliver Cromwell, the subject of which, though coarse to a degree, is exceedingly humourous.

"The Holbein Chamber claims our attention next, the contents of which refer for the most part to the time of the great artist, whom we find not only a painter but a sculptor. Witness the exquisitely carved head of Henry the Eighth, in box-wood, with a small dial hanging from

his neck, and the no less elaborate full-length figure of the bluff monarch, in terra cotta. Albert Durer's skill in carving is set forth in a singularly beautiful relievo, cut in stone, of a single combat before the Emperor Maximilian. It bears the date of 1522. Here is the original chair of the last Abbot of Glastonbury, from which so many copies have been made; it is of oak, and bears various inscriptions—'Johannes Arthurus Monacus Glastonie, &c,' testifying its origin. The ebony table and chairs of the same wood (of which there are nearly three dozen in different parts of the building), are extremely beautiful; and a number of ancient combs (one of which, of ivory, is said to have belonged to Queen Bertha, and another of tortoiseshell, given with more likelihood to Mary Queen of Scots) are singularly curious. But, perhaps, the chiefest amongst this class of relics is the red hat of Cardinal Wolsey—the token of his ecclesiastical dignity; it is carefully preserved in a glass case. The pictures are numerous: here we find all those traced by Vertue from the originals by Holbein, now at Windsor or Hampton Court; a portrait of Charlotte de France, by Janet; a curious one of Louis the Eleventh, praying, with an open missal before him in the shape of a heart; Mary Queen of Scots—of course, unlike all others; Henry the Fifth of England; the Maréschal Monluc; Henry and Anne Boleyn, frequently repeated; Philip of Spain and Mary, a copy from the Woburn picture; Anthony of Bourbon, the unheard-of, intangible father of Henri Quartre;

xvi.

STRAWBERRY HILL.

Sir Thos. Wyatt; the Duchess of Suffolk; Marguérite de France, &c. An exquisite pencil-drawing by Holbein must not be overlooked, of a fire-place in one of Henry the Eighth's palaces; nor the chimney-piece which adorns the 'Holbein chamber,' and which was designed by Mr. Bentley, from the tomb of Archbishop Warham, at Canterbury.

"The Grand Gallery, of really noble dimensions and superbly decorated, now lures our

D.WAD

willing feet towards the richest treasures of Strawberry. We find we have not left ourselves space to dilate upon them as they deserve, and our observations must be briefly directed to the most precious objects. Foremost amongst them is the magnificent Roman eagle, found within the precincts of the baths of Caracalla, in 1742. It well deserves the reputation which it enjoys, of being 'one of the finest pieces of Greek sculpture in the world.' Here are the fine vases and cisterns of *majolica*, of which the figures on the latter were designed by Giulio Romano. Here, too, an exquisite coffer, glittering with mother-of-pearl, and reflecting every ray from the stained windows above it; a bust of Vespasian, in basalt; beautiful bronzes, and pictures, interesting from their antiquity and intrinsic worth. Of the latter are, the marriage of Henry the Seventh; a group, by Janet, of Catherine de Medicis, her three sons, Francis, Charles, and Henry, successively Kings of France, and Marguéritte de Valois; the full-length portrait of Lord Falkland, in white, by Van Somer, which suggested the incident of the picture walking out of its frame, in the 'Castle of Otranto;' Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, and his royal bride; the beautiful Laura Walpole, Countess of Waldegrave and Duchess of Gloucester, by Sir Joshua Reynolds, and many more to which we cannot even allude.

"A peep at the round Drawing Room at the extremity of the Gallery shews us fine stained windows, shedding their parti-coloured light on vases of porcelaine and services of silver; where, above the rich, mosaic chimney-piece, stand silver beakers and jars, valuable for their weight of metal alone,—to say nothing of their workmanship; where the China of Sevre vies with the

faenza of Florence, and the portrait of Vandyke's ladye-love, Mistress Lemon, looks smilingly down, a pendant to his own picture in the Louvre. The Countesses of Leicester and Carlisle, by the same inimitable hand, grace the same chamber; a vase of *majolica* bears the arms of France and the Medici, and probably belonged to Catherine; and ivory cups and objects of Indian art lie scattered on the tables. Getting glimpses at every turn of closets filled with china, and painted glass, and models in terra cotta and marble, we proceeded to the North Chamber, filled, like every other, with pictures, antiquities, and objects of *virtù*.

"To begin with comparatively modern times, two pictures by Hogarth are, at the least, attractive. One of these is the original sketch of the Beggar's Opera, bought at the sale of Rich, the manager of Covent Garden; and the other, which we have transferred to these pages, the rehearsal of an opera, with caricatures of the principal performers. Nicolini stands in front,

arised for sale is Horace Walpole's favourite Gothis residence, "Strawberry-hill," on the banks of the Thames between Teddington and Dope's-villa at Twickenham. It is to be offered for sale by Messrs. Ventom, Bull, and Cooper on the 15th of next month, at the Mart in Token-house-yard. It is described as standing in about 33 acres of ground, and the number of sitting rooms, bed rooms, &c., and the dimensions of the grand drawing room, the dining room, library, and other State apartments, are given in minute detail in the advertisement, which men, tious also a " gothic chapel " in the garden. The place, as it was designed by Horace Walpole, and added to by his successors, the Waldegraves, has been so often described that we need say so more about it here. An account of its foundation and its history will be found in "Greater London," now being published by Messrs. Cassell. Along with Strawberry-hill itself will be sold "Little Strawberry-hill," formerly the residence of Kitty Clive, with six acres of ground attached to it; and four modern residences, each named after some of Horace Walpole's belongings—viz., Strawberry-hill-villa, Long-Villa, Oxford-house, and Walpole-house.

ELANDELL

Mrs. Toft is at the harpsichord, Margarita is entering in black; the gentleman with a patch over one eye is Sir Robert Rich. Near the chimney-piece is a large picture of Henry the Eighth and one of his Queens, Edward the Sixth, Mary and Philip of Spain, and Queen Elizabeth, with several allegorical figures, and a long eulogy upon the royal race of Tudor inscribed round the frame. Beneath this is a bust of Francis the Second of France, in marble, and a bas-relief, in bronze, of Anne of Brittany. On one side we see a large portrait of the celebrated Bianco Capello, by Vasari, with her singular story written on the frame; and facing her, at the other end of the room, the portrait of one even better known to fame, the fascinating Ninon de l'Enclos. This is the only original portrait known to exist of the lovely and accomplished fair one, to whose charms, however, Walpole seems to have been insensible; in our opinion she must have been as beautiful as the world has always supposed her. She is very fair, with auburn hair and hazel eyes, and her dress, which is somewhat *decolté*, is prettily confined by a narrow pink riband fastened at the shoulder with small pearls and coral beads. Near her are Mademoiselle de la Valière, Madame de Maintenon, Madame de Gramamont, &c. A fine Rambrandt and a Nicolas Poussin adorn this end of the chamber. In a small cabinet, covered with medallions, is an illuminated psalter, which, but for the 'Hours' of Anne of

Brittany in Paris, would be priceless. It is the work of Julio Clovio, and its authenticity, did it not speak for itself, is thus attested in Walpole's handwriting:—'This beautiful MS. of the Psalms, illuminated for the Prince d'Anjou, in 1537, by Don Julio Clovio, scholar of Julio Romano, and afterwards purchased by Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel, was, on the dispersion of the Arundel collection, bought, in 1720, by Edward Harley, Earl of Oxford, who bequeathed it to his only daughter, Margaret, Duchess of Portland, on whose death it was purchased, in May, 1786, by Horace Walpole.' He further adds,—'As there was no Due d'Anjou in 1537, the *Princip. Andegavensis*, mentioned in one of the illuminations, must have been Theodore d'Anjou de Mazières, who was aged about thirty in 1537, and who was son of a natural son of Charles d'Anjou, K. of Naples.' It is a small thick MS., and executed in a style of art that surpasses belief.

"Before we leave this chamber, one glance must be allowed at the little glass case in the corner, which is filled with curiosities. Here is the wondrous speculum of the renowned Dr. Dee,—the mirror which

'Kelly did all his feats upon;>'

a piece of highly polished cannel coal, of a circular form, with a handle to it. It is a very mysterious-looking object, and worthy of being called 'The Devil's looking-glass.' In the same case are several apostle spoons, a German wooden spoon, finely carved; twelve silver plates, exquisitely engraved, which belonged to the great Earl of Clarendon; the wedding gloves of Mrs. Hampden, and a pair worn by James the First; four silver owls, used for whistles to call servants, before the introduction of hand-bells; the whistle is formed by the perches on which the emblems of wisdom are standing, and the noise made through them resembles the doleful cry of those lugubrious birds. One of the most puzzling *objets* is a box of large wooden counters, very thin and painted on one side; in Walpole's catalogue they are called 'ancient round trenchers, with scriptural mottoes;' but they seem rather to have belonged to some game; and as to the scriptural character of the mottoes, here is a specimen:—'Women are like nettles, who toucheth them they stinge them, but hurt not those who wringe them.'

‘The adjoining room,—the last we shall venture to dwell upon, and of which we present a sketch, is ‘The Tribune.’

“To detail the wonders contained in this beautiful room would claim a volume for itself; what justice can then be done to it in a few lines? There is a cabinet containing at least a hundred miniatures by Petitot and other great masters; and glass cases on either hand, the shelves of which are loaded with relics. Amongst the latter, gleaming with gold and jewels, is the missal painted by Raffaelle and his scholars for Claude de France, the Queen of François Premier. It is covered with turquoises and rubies, and on each cover is an enormous cornelian, with an intaglio of the Crucifixion on one side, and a relievo on the other; it is very small, and might be worn as an ornament. The famous Florentine boar, the Jupiter Serapis, the dagger of Henry the Eighth, snuff boxes, medals, intaglios, rings, and gems of every conceivable kind crowd upon the view, and it only wants the silver bell of Benvenuto Cellini to bewilder us with

archives of the British Museum; and he would most respectfully draw the attention of the Trustees of that National Establishment to the present occasion, as the only one which can enable them to form the nucleus of a collection of domestic archaeology, embracing memorials of the dynasties of the Plantaganets, the Tudors, the Stuarts, and the Guelphs, of their ministers and favourites, and of the wisest and greatest that flourished in their respective æras. He would also earnestly impress upon all who possess, as Walpole did, a vocation to virtù, that a similar opportunity of enriching their collections can never occur—neither fortune nor research, after the distribution of this museum, can enable them to unearth such treasures, and he thinks there will hardly be found an individual, whether tinged with the spirit of antiquarianism or an admirer of the Augustan period of British History, but will be anxious to procure some relic of him who may be denominated the last of that glorious age; and who by his inimitable works of fiction, his charming correspondence, and his delicate perception of all that was choice and beautiful in art, achieved for himself a glorious immortality in the memory of mankind.

In conclusion, it is the pleasing office of the writer to tender his best acknowledgments to those friends who have, on this occasion, afforded him much valuable information and assistance: to the popular author of the preceding account of Strawberry Hill, necessarily brief, but sketched with the hand of a master, and to Mr. Alfred Delamotte, for his spirited illustrations thereto, his thanks are especially due; as also to Mr. Samuel Woodburne for his luminous observations on the collection of Engravings; to his relative, Mr. Mackinlay, for various notes connected with antiquarian research; and to his near relation, Mr. Edmund Robins, with a worthy coadjutor in Mr. Forster, long celebrated in the annals of collectors, for their untiring co-operation in the formation and arrangement of the Catalogue.

STRAWBERRY-HILL.

That portion of the public which is admitted to what are called "Private views" will to-day be admitted to the private view of Strawberry-hill and the indefinite collection of heterogeneous objects with which it is filled, a collection in its way and of its kind perfectly unique, and containing such a mass of various specimens of art, of almost all ages and of almost all countries, and such a diversity of books, prints, pictures, gems, baubles, toys, &c., that the memory is overburdened with the reminiscences of the catalogue, and the spectator almost bewildered by theeterminable list of wonders. The catalogue is itself a curiosity, and forms a somewhat bulky quarto volume of 250 pages. There are upwards of 15,000 printed volumes in the library, besides manuscripts and original letters, many from very original people when living, and some certainly from very common place kinds of people, and very conventional ladies and gentlemen; all these things, however, have their value. Most of them are curious, and there is variety enough to suit the tastes of all purchasers. There are some splendid works of art, and some things of intrinsic worth; there are also some upon which opinions may differ, and though in the "prefatory remarks" to the catalogue the collector of all this wilderness of wonders is styled "the mighty master who matured the wondrous whole," it may be fairly a matter of opinion whether the crowding together, in a comparatively small house, the contents of half a dozen bazaars was any proof of the genuine taste or good judgment of the "mighty spirit," as he is further on described by the auctioneer, whose voracity for vertu induced him to buy everything for the embellishment after his own manner of Strawberry-hill. Be this as it may, the attraction of what is reported to be contained in the apartments of the house, the notoriety which has been given to the forthcoming sale, and the descriptive portions of the catalogue, together with the interest which is now almost universally felt by all persons of taste for specimens of the arts of the middle ages,—specimens, by the way, in which the national collections of England are most miserably deficient—and the fashion which at the present time is prevalent for ancient furniture, decorations, and ornaments, will all co-operate to make a visit to Strawberry-hill indispensable; and there is very little doubt that for the next month the roads leading to Richmond, Twickenham, and the other approaches to its gates will be thronged by all the fashionables, the curious, the lovers of art, and the admirers of the marvellous, and that the sale will be one of the most amusing ones which has taken place for many years. Something of this sort took place at the sale at Font-hill, in Wiltshire, about 20 years ago; but Fonthill was confessedly a modern antique, afforded no recollections that could either edify, amuse, or instruct, was too far from London for the bulk of London visitors to attempt, and did not contain a tenth part of the genuine remains of old times which really are to be found at Strawberry-hill. To quote some words of the introduction to the catalogue there will pass in review before the visitors "the splendid gallery of paintings; matchless enamels by Petitot, Boit, Boidier, and Zincke; chasings, the workmanship of Cellini and Jean de Bologna; noble specimens of Faenza ware from the pencils of Robbia and Bernard Palizzi; glass of the rarest hues and tints, executed by Jean Cousin and other masters of the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries; Limoges enamels of the period of the Renaissance, by Leonard and Courtoise; Roman and Grecian antiquities, in bronze and sculpture; Oriental and European china of the choicest forms and colours; exquisite and match-

less missals, painted by Raphael and Julio Clovis; magnificent specimens of cinque cento armour, &c." The place is so well known to most persons that a general description of its locality and appearance is almost superfluous; nevertheless it may be gratifying to recall recollections of it, now that it is about to be dismantled, ransacked, and almost desecrated by the promiscuous visitations of the multitude. The house is near the bank of the Thames, about half a mile beyond Twickenham. The present site was once occupied by a small house built by a man who had amassed a little money in the service of Lord Bradford, and who used to let it out in lodgings. Colley Cibber was a tenant of the place, and wrote in the comedy of the *Refusal*. Dr. Talbot, Bishop of Durham, and Henry Bridges, Duke of Chandos, at different times, also rented the original premises. It was afterwards rented by Mrs. Chevenix, the celebrated toywoman, of whom Lord Orford, then Horace Walpole, bought the lease, and shortly after got the fee simple of the estate, and repaired, pulled down, and enlarged it into what it now is, a sort of Gothic, castellated-looking place, of no great pretensions, and certainly not good enough for a casket for the gems it contains. He himself describes the place, such as it was at the time of his taking possession. His description has been often referred to, but at the present time will bear to be transcribed. It is taken from a letter to Marshall Conway, dated Twickenham, June 8th, 1747, and is characteristic of the character of the writer. "You perceive," by my date, I have got into a new camp, and have left my tub at Windsor; it is a little plaything house that I got out of Mrs. Chevenix's shop, and is the prettiest bauble you ever saw. It is set in enamelled meadows with flagree hedges:—

"A small Euphrates through the piece is roll'd,

"And little fishes wave their fins in gold."

Two delightful roads, that you would call dusty, supply me continually with coaches and chaises; barges as solemn as Barons of the Exchequer move under my window—Richmond-hill and Ham walks bound my prospects; but, thank God, the Thames is between me and the Duchess of Queen-berry. Dowagers as plenty as flounders inhabit all around, and Pope's ghost is just now skimming under my window by a most poetical moonlight. The Chevenixes had tricked the cottage up for themselves; up two pair of stairs is what they call Mr. Chevenix's library, furnished with three maps, one shelf, a bust of Sir Isaac Newton, and a lunar telescope without any glasses." It is well situated on a gentle ascent, and commands pleasing views; the house is, however, too near the road, by which the effect is spoiled, and the romance of the place completely dissipated. It may not be amiss to give a catalogue of the books printed at the press which Horace Walpole set up here, with the dates of the impressions and number of copies; they are known to bibliomaniacs, but a record of them may not be uninteresting to the public:—

The first day of the private view of the contents of this
place commenced yesterday, when the company were admit-
ted by cards to inspect the curiosities of which rumour has
spoken so much, and of which the recently-published cata-
logue has declared more. The present appearance of the
house is such as will cause regret in all admirers of those
things in which Horace Walpole so much delighted, and al-
most sufficient to make him and such as he was in his day
start from their coffins and vent their reproaches on those
who have invaded and desecrated the sanctity of the Gothic
bandbox in which the gewgaws and baubles of antiquity
have reposed for the best part of a century. The
appearance of the rooms, though crowded with pic-
tures and vases, and china and ornaments, and things
which are more curious than ornamental, is desolate and
dreary. There is something between the ridiculous and the
melancholy in contemplating the hat of Cardinal Wolsey
ticketed with the lot of a fashionable auctioneer, and the
chair of the Abbot of Glastenbury labelled with the bit of
paper which points out its position in the catalogue. Saints
and sinners, Queens, poets, pimps, and players, the effigy of
a duchess, and the bust of a stroller, are all numbered and
await their ultimate destination and fate from the hammer of
the Martel of Covent-garden, by which they are about to be
knocked down to the best bidder.

The house looks wretchedly dirty, dilapidated, and de-
serted. It would almost appear that not a shilling had been
expended upon it, or upon anything in it, for half a century.
The usual appearance of all houses in which a sale by auction
is about to take place is comfortless and cold; but in this
that appearance is increased by the quaint and faded look of
the furniture, and the style of the decorations. The auc-
tioneer's men sort badly with the portraits of lords and ladies;
they look like the undertakers of departed grandeur, if not of
departed worth, and increase the gloom by the monotony of their
motions and answers. This place must have been a very different
sort of thing in its original state, and under the immediate care
and management of its original owner, from what it now is,
or its reputation, even as an elegant toy, could never have
been so high and so widely spread. A toy it always was, and
such indeed its first owner seems at one time to have been
contented so to consider it; but then it was an elegant toy,
fresh from the gilders, and brilliant with such brightness as
toys generally possess; its brilliancy is now entirely gone, its
gilding rubbed off, and little remains that would lead any-
body to suppose that he by whom it was planned was re-
markable in his generation for refinement of taste.

The arrangements for the sale are judicious; the various
divisions of the auction have been arranged with the result
of long experience, and will give satisfaction to all. The
lots are so divided that an immense number of purchasers
can be accommodated, and each purchaser buy what he wants,
and not find himself encumbered by the heterogeneous
grouping of articles when he is in search of one thing or of
several things that accord. This is as it should be, and will
be an inducement to people to bid. The sale of the books,
which are very numerous, will occupy several days; other
days will be devoted to the pictures, which are also numerous,
but of the merit of which, as works of art, it is impossible to
speak from a cursory view, or indeed from many views. Other
days will be occupied by the sale of objects of vertu, of gems,
&c.; and on others china, plate, and so forth will be sold.
Thus all can suit their tastes and their convenience in their
visits. The finest things in the collection are, perhaps, the
two Missals, the one painted by Julio Clovio, and the other by
Raphael. The first of them we have inspected, the latter we have
only seen *ex passant*. Of the first, by Julio Clorio, we can speak
in almost unqualified admiration; it is perhaps the finest of its
class in existence, and is worthy the finest collection in Europe.
This volume, it may be predicted, will fetch a very high price.
The silver bell, of which an engraving is given in the cata-
logue, is fine; it is said to be by Cellini, but for this we cannot
vouch, nor have we sufficiently examined it to be warranted
in saying whether it be or be not the work of the Florentine
artist. There are some superb vases, some good specimens of
china, of which all persons of any taste can appreciate the
beauty, and there are several crockery cupboards filled with
tea-sipping vessels, to ascertain the value of which it would
be necessary to resuscitate the dowagers of the last century.

The attendance of company yesterday was but thin; Easter
Monday is not a day for fashion.

MADAME DU DEFFAND.

No. 6.

107 The whole of the highly interesting and valuable manuscripts bequeathed to the Honble. Horace Walpole, by the justly celebrated Marie de Vichy, afterwards Madame du Deffand, who died in 1780. When we consider the rank this lady held in *the beau monde of Paris*—her splendid talents and varied accomplishments—and the terms of friendship in which she lived with most of the philosophers, poets, historians, and wits of the day, not only of her own country but with all Europe, as these papers will amply prove, what lights may be thrown on that most eventful period of French history—the commencement of the great revolution. In this collection there are upwards of 800 Letters by her to Horace Walpole, of the greatest interest. Such Letters, clothe in beautiful language, and written, as they were, by an observant and highly cultivated mind to a friend at a distance, in full confidence and without restraint, present a "*True History of the Time*" and are *invaluable* as a literary treasure. To give anything like a complete list of these papers would far exceed the limits of a catalogue; indeed, it would require volumes to do so. The whole have been carefully preserved in the same state as they were left by Lord Orford, and are contained in a large cedarwood chest. They are divided into volumes and packets, and numbered from I. to XIII., as under. They will be offered in one or thirteen lots, as may be determined upon at the time of sale.

I.—A large folio vol., bound in green vellum, Œuvres de Mons. le Chevalier de Boufflers, in prose and verse

II.—A folio vol., bound in vellum, Recueil de Lettres Choisies de Differentes Personnes

III.—A folio vol., bound in calf, and 1 ditto in blue paper, Lettres de Mons. de Voltaire, à Madame du Deffand

IV.—A small 4to vol., in green vellum, Journal de Madame du Deffand

V.—A small 4to vol., bound in red Morocco, with a silver lock, and Recueil de Divers Ouvrages, par Madame du Deffand

This vol. contains her beautiful portraits of the nobility and gentry of the courts of France at this most interesting period, and they are written with taste, spirit, and wit, which has never been equalled; in the fly leaf will be found an account of her life, and beautiful eulogium on her, by her old and tried friend, Horace Walpole.

END OF THE TENTH DAY'S SALE.

STRAWBERRY HILL SALE—TENTH DAY.

Yesterday's sale of coins concluded most satisfactorily to all parties most particularly concerned, and the sum realised, 560l, fully equalled the expectation of all. The sale itself was not so well attended as on previous days, the principal coins and medals being bought for the British Museum, &c. We have entered so fully in yesterday's *Herald* into particulars regarding this sale, that nothing now remains but to particularise the proceedings of the tenth day, which are as follow:-

Lot 1. Edward the Sixth's pattern for a shilling, extraordinarily thick, weight 480 grs, *vide* Snelling, plate 3, No. 4, extremely rare, and well preserved—48l. Bought by Mr. Widdon. We could not learn whether it was bought for a private person or for a museum.

Lot 3. Charles the First, pattern for a halfpenny; a rose crowned; C. R. on the sides; reverse, a rose crowned; inscribed, a halfpenny; this piece differs from that of Snelling, by having the C. R.; fine, and great rarity—3l 3s.

Lot 8. A fragment of a gold coin of Queen Elizabeth; a very extraordinary portrait, *vide* Ruding's supplement; plate 3 engraved from this identical piece; unique—36l 15s. Widdon.—This is the piece which Elizabeth thought proper to countermand the issuing of, as bearing too faithful a likeness of herself, then fast progressing towards that age which renders it extremely difficult, and most particularly unpleasant for any man to pronounce his candid opinion upon, and more especially for the poor delineator and engraver whoever he may be.

The following lines were written by Horace Walpole, 1779, in praise of this lady and of the artist.

Full many an Artist has on canvass fix'd
All charms that Nature's pencil ever mix'd—
The witchery of Eyes, the Grace that tips,
The inexpressible douceur of Lips
Running alone, in this fair image caught
Each Charm's expression and each Feature's thought;
And shows how in their sweet assemblage sit
Taste, Spirit, Softness, Sentiment and Wit.

As the gold and silver plate was, with one or two exceptions, put up at so much per ounce, it is needless to particularise any particular lot, except lot 110, which is an elegant small gold two-handled racing cup and cover, won at Newmarket by a mare of Sir Robert Walpole's, on April 14, 1713, which was knocked down at 4l 2s 6d per ounce; and lot 120, a 19-inch square-shaped plateau, the centre exquisitely chased by Hogarth in meallions, representing George I. on his throne, with figures of Britannia and Justice, and the royal arms, and a view of the city of London, and allegorical devices, richly chased border and shell edge, on scroll feet, fetched 15s per ounce; and lot 128, being a very elegant plated epergne and candelabrum for nine lights and four branches, supported by four female figures, which produced 9l 9s. The other portion of the plate was sold at from 5s 3d to 17s per ounce; and altogether the "rubbish" included in yesterday's sale may be put down at nearly 3,000l.

The sale of this day comprises the contents of Horace Walpole's china closet, including beautiful specimens of porcelain of every country and time; there are also many choice pieces of the rare Faenza ware, Venetian glass, &c.; but on Monday it may be said the interest of the sale really commences, as on that day the treasures of the Tribune are to be distributed to the world; all the cabinet pictures are here congregated, antique bronzes of the highest class, relics and rarities without end. The collection of miniatures, nearly all of which are enamels by Pettot, Boit, Zinski, and Oliver, is, perhaps, the finest in this country; and, if we may judge of the prices yesterday obtained, will, doubtless, realise large sums. In this portion of the sale the renowned silver bell, the Julio Clovio psalter, and the Raphael missal, will be submitted to the uncertain fate of the hammer. The on dits are numerous as to who will become the possessors of these inestimable gems.

STRAWBERRY-HILL SALE—TWELFTH DAY.

The sale on Saturday, consisting entirely of rare and curious china, Venetian glass, Faenza ware, &c., was but moderately well attended; nevertheless the sums the chief pieces produced, chiefly by commission for the Duke of Hamilton, Earl of Charleville, Lord Northwick, Mr. Beckford, &c., serves to show that that portion of the public attending the daily sales who buy are much more competent judges, and much better able to discriminate between that which is considered "rubbish" by a "certain individual" of a certain paper which shall be nameless, and that which is the reverse. But to proceed to the business of the day at which we attended, not at all daunted by being accompanied by some glorious storms of rain and wind.

It is thus spoken of in Pilkington's Dictionary of Painters, "There is a head of Cowley, by Zincke, after Sir Peter Lely, in the possession of the Hon. Mr. Horace Walpole, which is allowed to excel any single work of that charming enameller. The impassioned glow of sentiment, the eyes swimming with youth and tenderness, and the natural fall of the long ringlets that flow around the unbuttoned collar, are rendered with the most exquisite nature, and finished with elaborate care."

83 A TRULY MAGNIFICENT AND MATCHLESS SPECIMEN OF ART, which may unquestionably be denominated the GEM of this extraordinary assemblage of all that is rare and valuable, THE RE-NOWNED SILVER BELL, made expressly for POPE CLEMENT VII. by that unrivalled artist BENVENUTO CELLINI.

It is a mass of carving in the highest relievo, representing antique masques, serpents, flies, grasshoppers, and various insects covering its surface, the Virgin and Child with angels at the top, and a wreath of leaves and lizards at the base; the taste of the whole design and the spirit of its execution are perfectly unique, the delicate and natural representation of the figures and insects, and their wonderful display, make almost every thing credible that this inimitable artist says of himself in his Life

This extraordinary bijou was for a long period in the collection of the Marquis Leonati of Parma, and was purchased by the Marquis of Rockingham, who exchanged it with Horace Walpole for some very scarce Roman coins and medals.—Vide Catalogue of Strawberry-Hill.

84 The great seal of Theodore King of Corsica, an interesting and singular relic, accompanied by that very curious document, his discharge from the Insolvent Court, where he is styled, Theodore Stephen King of Corsica, Baron of Newhoff and Stein, Grandee of Spain, &c., also his capitulations made with the people of Corsica on his election, and signed by his own hand

It is recorded that, in May, 1756, a man who had worn a crown and wielded a sceptre took the benefit of the Insolvent Act, and registered in his schedule, on behalf of his creditors, THE KINGDOM OF CORSICA. Notwithstanding his liberation, he remained within the liberties of the Fleet for some months, when he removed to Little Chapel Street, Soho, where he died December 11th, 1756. Some difficulty occurring respecting the funeral charges, he was interred at the expense of one Wright, an Oilman, in Compton Street, who said "he was determined for once to have the honour of burying a King!" Horace Walpole, soon after, caused a neat marble monument surmounted by a Crown to be erected near the grave in St. Anne's churchyard, with this inscription from his pen—"Near this spot is interred THEODORE KING OF CORSICA, who died in this parish, December 11, 1756, immediately after leaving the King's Bench prison, by the benefit of the Act of Insolvency, in consequence of which he registered his kingdom of Corsica for the benefit of his creditors."

"The grave, great teacher, to a level orings
Heroes and beggars, galley slaves and kings!
But Theodore his moral learn'd ere dead,
Fate pourea its lesson on his living head,
Bestow'd a kingdom and deny'd him bread!"

90 A TRULY VALUABLE and MATCHLESS VOLUME, pronoun-
ced by the Cognoscenti as the most wonderful of the works of art which
adorn this rare collection. It contains the Psalms of David written with
a pen on fine vellum, and adorned by 21 inimitable illuminations by
DON JULIO CLOVIO, pupil of GIULIO ROMANO, most vivid in
colour and effect; the excellence of the figures can only be placed in
comparison with the beauty of the borders, which are in the purest antique
taste, and unrivalled for their lustre and harmony.

This extraordinary gem is in a fine state of preservation, and is considered
to be more perfect than any of the works of this unrivalled master. It
was painted as is described on one of the illuminations, *Principi Andega-
vensi*, 1537; was afterwards in the Arundelian collection, on the disper-
sion of which, it was purchased by the Earl of Oxford in 1720, who
bequeathed it to his daughter the Duchess of Portland, and at the sale of
her Grace's celebrated museum, Horace Walpole became the purchaser
in 1786

This book, so truly precious, is richly bound, and adorned with silver gilt clasps; and corners, it is preserved in a satinwood case, ornamented with lapis lazuli and agates, and on the top is an exquisite emblematical drawing, by Wm. Lock, Esq., of Norbury Park.

> Gilt bowls of sack, they gave the bowl
> Two spoons at least—an use ill kept—
> 'Tis well if now our own be left."

89 A splendid Portrait of KING HENRY VII., on panel

This picture is considered incomparable from its truth to nature, ex- pression, and chiaro scuro—the character and thought in the countenance, and its exact conformity with the bust, by Torreggiano, in the Star- chamber, make it unquestionably a Portrait for which the king sat; and yet the knowledge of light and shade, not possessed even by Holbein, makes it probable that it was retouched by Rubens, of whose colouring it is worthy and whose style it resembles.—Vide Catalogue of Straw- berry Hill.

92 A Portrait of BIANCA CAPELLA, a finely painted picture, but the hands remain in an unfinished state

VASARI

Her story is thus written on a cartouche part of the frame:—Bianca Capella, a Venetian lady, who having disobliged her family by marrying a Florentine banker, was reduced to maintain him by washing linen; Francis the Great Duke saw, fell in love with, and made her his mistress, and her husband his minister; but the latter, after numberless tyranies, for which she obtained his pardon, and after repeated ill usage of her, for which she pardoned him, having murdered a man, and being again protected by her, the Great Duke told her, that though he would remit her husband's punishment, he would pardon whoever should kill him. The relatives of the deceased murdered the assassin, and Francis married his widow Bianca, who was poisoned with him at a banquet by Cardinal Ferdinand, afterwards called the Great, brother and successor of Duke Francis. Montaigne, in his travels, gives a description of Bianca, which corresponds much with this Portrait: "Cette Duchesse est belle a l'opinion Italienne, un visage agréable et imperieux, le corsage gros, et de tetin a leur souhait. Vide Catalogue of Strawberry Hill.

This Picture was purchased from the Vitelli Palace at Florence, by Sir Horace Mann, and sent to Mr. Walpole. For a further interesting ac- count of this Lady and of the picture, see Lord Orford's correspon- dence with Sir Horace Mann.
