Engravings. — Mr. Pye's well-known Collection of proofs and prints of Turner's 

 Liber Studiorum, in various states, of the seventy-one compositions which were published 

 between 1806 — 1820. The importance of this acquisition may be conceived when it is 

 mentioned that Mr. Pye had been fifty years in bringing it to its present perfect con- 

 dition; the difficulty will be understood when it is stated that the plates originally were so 

 delicately engraved that they began to wear after a few impressions had been taken from 

 them. Other prints by Francesco Bartolozzi, William Byrne, James Fittler, James 

 Mason, William Wynne Ryland, John Smith, Thomas Williamson, and John Wood.
