_Catalogue of Pictures._--Some information is requested of an octavo

volume of 252 pages, being a catalogue of a collection of pictures

consigned to Mr. Samuel Pawson, wine merchant in Cecil Street, Strand,

without date or name, or residence of printer; it contains succinct

annotations "of the several masters whose performances are herewith

exhibited." These are very curious, and the prices affixed to each

picture (800 in number), as added together by some possessor of the

volume, amount to 55,379_l._ It appears to have been highly esteemed;

and, amongst other autographs, has "J. P. Roberts, Kingsgate;" "J. P.

Powell, Quex park."
