 the auctioneer, if, in his judgment, such bid would be likely to affect the sale in- 
 juriously.

 either continue to hold the lots at the risk of the purchaser and take such action 
 as may be necessary for the enforcement of the sale, or may at public or private

 sale, after which it is sold “as is” and without recourse. 
 
 The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot correctly, and will 
 give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that any 
 lot has been incorrectly catalogued, and, in its judgment, may either sell the 
 lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby 
 would become responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion with- 
 
 out proper foundation. SPECIAL NOTICE

 mitted to it by mail, telegraph or telephone, will be faithfully attended to without 
 charge or commission. Any purchase so made will be subject to the above Condi- 
 tions of Sale, which cannot in any manner be modified. The Association, however,

 purchaser who has not, through himself or his agent, been present at the exhibition 
 or sale, will permit such lot to be returned within ten days from the date of sale, 
 and the purchase money will be returned, if the lot in any material manner differs 
 from its catalogue description. 
 
 Orders for execution by the Association should be written and given with 
 such plainness as to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot 
 number be given, but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much 
 for the lot, and when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects 
 of art, the bid per volume or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting 
 the order is unknown to the Association, a deposit should be sent or reference 
 submitted. Shipping directions should also be given. 
 
 Priced copies of the catalogue of any sale, or any session thereof, will be 
 furnished by the Association at a reasonable charge.

 (Silk embroidered picture) Abs yr Z 
 
 The meeting of Abraham and Melchizedek, the royal high priest 
 of Egypt. Abraham is in the act of bowing before the priest, 
 who is offering him a drink from a silver goblet, while a slave 
 at his feet is filling the goblet from a large pitcher. On the 
 right are seen a multitude of foot soldiers and cattle, the spoils 
 of the wars. On the left are the followers of Melchizedek, also 
 on foot, with the mountain of Canaan in the distance. In the 
 foreground is a fertile plot of ground, covered with shrubbery 
 and plants, while two trees richly covered with moss and flowers 
 bend far down toward either side.
