EXTENSIVE AND VALUABLE COLLECTION OF MINERALS. 



Mr. TENNANT bought at the Stowe Sale the Duke of Buckingham's Collection 

 of Minerals, which he has greatly enriched by a collection of Coloured Diamonds, 

 specimens of Gold from California, Australia, Canada, and Wales ; Iceland Spar, 

 Malachite, and many other specimens of great value and interest. The Collec-

 drawers, with a glass case on the top for large specimens, and is offered at £2,000. 

 Such a Collection is well adapted for any public Institution, or any gentleman 

 interested in mining pursuits or practical geology, as some of the specimens are 

 finer than those m the British Museum.
