June 2L — The sale of the duplicates in the librar}', and of some draw- 

 ings, took place this day, at Wheatley and Co.'s rooms, Piccadilly. There 

 were not many books, and they did not fetch much. The drawings were 

 not numerous : among them was a collection of flowers, exquisitely painted 

 by Miss Lee, only daughter of the joint founder, with Mr. Kennedy, of the 

 Hammersmith nursery, and presented to the Society by her brother, the 

 father of the present Messrs. Lee. We cannot but lament that such a col- 

 lection should have been sold, not only from the respect which we feel for 

 the family of Lee, but because we think this circumstance enough to dis- 

 courage any one from making similar presents to the Society in future; 

 The rejection of our Magazine (Vol. V. p. 86.) was nothing to it.
