Lastly. Upon Failure of complying with the above Conditions, the Depofit- Money to be forfeited, the Lots fliall be re-fold, and the Deficiency (if any) by fuch fecond Sale, together with the Jixpences attending the fame* jfoall be made good by the Defaulter at this prefent Sale, A HE following Catalogue, it is hoped, may satisfy the first enquiries of the Virtuosi, whose curiosity will have been excited by the notice given, that the Abbey of Fonthill is about to be thrown open for the inspection of the Public, previous to the intended Sale of a considerable part of its Rarities and very precious Effects. But, as the quantity of these will be found too considerable, and the articles too various, for their several features to be distinguished on a first inspection of these pages ; it is here, therefore, briefly premised, that The Collection of Pictures comprises the Laughing Boy by L. da Vinci, long preserved and admired in the Cabinet of the famous Earl of Arundel; the Sibylla Lybica by Lod. Carracci, formerly in the Lans- down Collection ; Job and his Friends, the famous Santa Croce Master¬ piece of Sal. Rosa ; the Poulterer’s Shop by G. Dow, and several precious Gems by Bergheni, Mieris, V. Huysum and other Masters, from the Choiseuil and Praslin Cabinets, besides chef d’oeuvres from various distinguished Collections. ( >' ) The Assemblage of Porcelain will surprise by the quantity as well as beauty of the Specimens, which are of the finest Oriental, and of the old Seve, and other European Manufactures : that of the old Japan Lacquer upon Wood is without rival in this or any other Country. It will exhibit unexpected examples of the Ingenuity and Taste of the Japanese in this very delicate and admirable branch of Manufacture ; especially a Coffer of Japan, incrusted with animals of solid Gold and Silver, formerly the property of Cardinal Mazarin, and a casket of extreme beauty, which formed a principal ornament of the collection of Madame de Pompadour. The Sculptured Vessels of Topaz, Sardonyx, Agate, and Crystal, are numerous. One of them, in particular, is presumed to be from the tool of some Asiatic Greek Artist of the times of Classic Antiquity—others are Sculptured by Benvenuto Cellini, or mounted with his exquisite Jewellery and Chasings. Among the Ivory Carvings will be found undoubted Specimens by Flamingo, Magnus Berg, Strous, and other great Artists in that line. The Armoires contain a sumptuous display of ancient Silver-Gilt Vessels, such as Sideboard Dishes, Ewers and Salvers, one of which belonged to K. Charles I.; others are of Moorish and Persian Chasing, a great number of rich and massive Silver-Gilt Candlesticks were designed by Moette, and executed by Auguste. ( Hi ) The Furniture comprises Cabinets of Buhl, and Ebony with the finest Florentine Mosaic, of Japan, and other costly Materials, including one very beautiful, designed by Bernini, and another by Holbein from the Palace at Whitehall; as also, a Set of Ebony Chairs, from Esher, which belonged to Cardinal Wolsey; and above all, a Magnificent Table of Florentine Mosaic, of extraordinary dimensions, inlaid with Marbles, of the Time of the Medici, formerly preserved in the Borghese Palace : the finest in Europe for Size and the disposition of its valuable materials An Inspection only of this vast Assemblage of Articles of Taste and Magnificence can convey a true Notion of their Splendour and Beauty. They derive interest, many of them, from historical Anecdote, and all, from the enchanting Effect of the Building in which they are contained. Every article will be found worthy of the fine Taste which projected and reared the very beautiful ABBEY OF FONTHILL. PREFACE TT may be proper to inform the Purchafers of the Catalogue, and the Public in general, That there is no one Article contained in it but was a Part of the Genuine Collection of the late Noble PofTeffor, Margaret Cavendifh , Duchefs Dowager of Portland . Nothing is foiflea into* it from the Cabinets of others ; but every Subjedt here recorded came into her PofTefhon, either by In¬ heritance, the Afliftance of thofe who were honored with her Friendfhip, or by her own Purchafe and Induftry. And how diligent have been her Enquiries into Natural Knowledge and the Polite Arts, as well as fuccefsful her En¬ deavours to encreafe the Stores of them, the following Catalogue will, in a great Meafure, demonftrate. In the Articles of Virtu it contains no inconfider- able Part of her mod Valuable Collection 3 but in Natural Hi/lory every Sub¬ ject is inferted fhe had with fo much Pains and Treafure accumulated. And here it will appear, that all the Three Kingdoms of’Nature, the Animal y Vegetable , and FoJfiL , were comprehended in her Refearches. In all of thefe (he took infinite Pleafure and Delight; but in none of them is her Cabinet more richly ftored than in that durable and beautiful Part of the Firjl y named Con- cbology. In this Branch of Nature’s Works, no Collection in Europe can equal that of her Grace’s in Number and Variety. To give fome Idea of its great Extent, it may be remarked, that the celebrated Linneeus , who had ftudied the Subject, and methodized the Materials of it, has not deferibed One Fourth Part of the Objects contained in the Mufeum now offered to the Public. It was indeed in the Intention of the enlightened PofTefTor to have had every unknown Species deferibed and publifhed to the World ; but it pleafed God to cut fhort the Defign, not only by the Death of the ingenious Naturalifl employed by her for that Purpofe * 3 but, in a ihort Time afterwards, to the great and irreparable Lofs or Science, by her oivn alfo. Had her Life been continued a few Years longer, it is poflible that every Subject in this Catalogue would have been properly deferibed and cnaraclerifed ; but in thfe prefent Mazes of Science, all that could be done by the Compiler was only to give in general the clafhcal cr popular Names to fuch Articles as were known to have any, and to leave Ihs * Dr. Solander* C iv ) the great Bulk of Non-defcripts to the Examination and Determination of the Curious. Some Perfons, perhaps*, may objedl to the Pr^dmifcuous Afiemblage of the various Subjects here exhibited, and be ready to w-lfh that they had been allotted in Order and Method, according to Genus and Species; and it mull be confeiTed, that Inch a Proceeding would have proved extremely fatisfactory to every true Lover of Science. Such would have been highly pleafed to have feen each Article named, and ftand in its proper Place. But however defirable fuch an Attainment might have been to a few Cognofcenti , it is very Certain that the Majority of the. World are not Meihodlfts . They love Variety more than Order, and would rather pur chafe Twenty different Species of Cones or Turbos in One Lot, than the fame Number of High Admirals or JVentletraps, Yet to gratify every Palate, Care has been taken, as much as poiEble, to keep the Grand Clafjes , and often the Genera together; at leaf! as far as Refpedf to Size*, Rarity , or Beauty , would allow. And in this Difpofition, there are very few Subjects but will occur again and again ; fo that almoft every Perfon deftrous of becoming a Purchafer, may have an Opportunity of fupplying his Wants. Whereas, in a methodical Arrangement, it mull of Neceffity have frequently happened, either that a Multitude of the fame Species muft be fold together in One Lot, (which very few would chufe to purchafe) or each Individual of that Species, muft be difpofed of fingly , or in Pairs ; which would have multiplied the Number of Lots to fuch a Degree as would extend the Sale to as many Weeks , as it conftfts at prefent of Days . It is hoped however, that the Man of Science will not be altogether difappointed in the prefent Arrangement of the Catalogue ; for as much Pains and Care have been taken to affix the proper claffical, or generally received Names, to as many Articles as the Time and Abilities of the Compiler would allow; it will be no great Trouble for him to caft his Eye over each Day’s Sale, as it occurs, and he will hardly fail to meet in one or more of them, with the Subjedts he defires. In Order therefore to his more ready Underftanding the various Articles re¬ corded in the following Catalogue, it remains only fubjoin an Explanation of the References and Abbreviations made Ufe of in it.
