large candelabra, in bronze. The raven was room xu. 
presented, in 1777, by Lord Scaforth. It is of ant IQUITIES. 
the finest workmanship, and has probably ac¬ 
companied a statue of Apollo. 
Case 6 . Specimens of ancient glass. The 
principal articles are eight cinerary urns. One 
of them has the leaden covering in which it was 
preserved; and another contains the burnt bones, 
and the asbestos cloth which prevented the ashes 
of the body from mixing with those of the 
funeral pile. These articles are accompanied by 
a great number of lachrymatories, and various 
other vessels and fragments of vessels, of differ¬ 
ent forms and colours; the whole of which afford 
ample proof of the ingenuity of the ancients, and 
of the great knowledge they possessed in the 
art of manufacturing glass, and of imparting to 
it whatever colour or form they chose. 
Case 7. Necklaces, ear-rings, armillae, and 
various other trinkets in gold, several of which 
are enriched with precious stones. Among the

and was found at Gergenti in Sicily. This case

engraved gems. From the collection of Sir Wil¬
