 •Howard, " I shall commit you to Hamilton's 

 care; I know the two pictures by heart, 

 having often seen them in the house of their 

 late possessor, and I wish to examine a few 

 pictures in the lower part of the gallery^ 

 that are hew to me. I believe, however, I 

 am doing an imprudent thing ; for, I have 

 no doubt, that Hamilton will take this op- 

 portunity of instilling some of his doc-

Mr. Howard then returned to the further 

 part of the i galler}', -while the two other 

 friends entered the saloon together ; on the 

 opposite side of which* and quite alone', 

 hung the picture of the inside of St. Pe~ 

 ter's.
