of c Domnichino'-> and the Compofition of the Whole 
is worthy of Raphael . 
Another Piece reprefents Chiron teaching Achilles 
to touch the Lyre. 
Another large one, like that of 'The feus, the Figures

Two other Pieces of greater Height than Breadth,

Another Figure, which we think to be Mercury , 
with a Child in his Hand, delivering it to a Woman

A Tyger, with a Boy upon it ; and another Boy, 
who plays on a Tympanum : With many others.

ftupendous Building ; and without doubt one may 
conjecture it to have been an Amphitheatre, by the
