REMBRANDT'S WORKS.

His works are numerous, and are dispersed in various public and private

collections of Europe; and when they are offered for sale they command

enormous prices. There are eight of his pictures in the English National

Gallery; one of these, the Woman taken in Adultery, formerly in the

Orleans collection, sold for £5000. In Smith's Catalogue raisonné is a

description of six hundred and forty pictures by him, the public and

private galleries and collections in which they were located at the time

of the publication of the work, together with a copious list of his

drawings and etchings, and much other interesting information. He left

many studies, sketches, and drawings, executed in a charming style,

which are now scarce and valuable.
