art in a two-fold respect; in the first place it furnishes very 
excellent studies by the best artists of this country, in every kind 
and in every style; secondly, it shows the true and unmixed style 
of the most distinguished artists, the impressions being taken 
from the drawings themselves they are but multiplied originals. 
Mr. Volweiller has had the high honour of laying the work 
before Her Majesty and their Royal Highnesses the Princesses 
who honoured it most graciously with their patronage. It is 
published by subscription in numbers containing six drawings 
each, price 10s. 6d. a number, and six numbers will form a book. 
The fourth number, which has just been published, accompanies 
this advertisement as a specimen, and the editor flatters himself

publication of so valuable a work; to whose praise it will be 
sufficient to mention the names of the artists who have already 
been so kind as to honour it with their drawings, viz., Messrs. 
B. West, P.R.A., T. Barker, J. Barry, H. W. Chalon, R. Cooper, 
R. Corbould, W. Delamotte, H. Fuseli, R.A., C. Gessner, W. 
Hawell, T. Hearne, Ch. Heath, R. Ker Porter, W. H. Pyne, 
J. T. Serres, T. Stothard, R.A., H. Singleton, R. L. West, and 
some distinguished dilettantii The four numbers already 
published may be had of Mr. Volweiller and the principal print-

please to put their names at the bottom of this ; and in the course 
of two days it shall be called for.
