 ready, and more than thirty other British

 established and upheld them in public favour,

 sympathy and happiest affections, or which 

 delineate the peculiar glories of our country, 

 and commemorate its worthiest and most 

 honourable achievements.

 larly directed to the fact that ALL THE 

 ENGRAVED PLATES from which the im- 

 pressions now offered have been taken, WILL 

 BE DESTROYED IN THE PRESENCE

 plied with inferior impressions at a future 

 time, and at a cheaper rate, the value of the 

 existing stock will be increased, and it will

 of art — the amateur, the artist, and the 

 public: — believing that no opportunity has
