Sm Andbew Fountaine, to whose love of Art the present Collection owes its origin, was the eldest son of Andrew Fountaine, Esq., of Brookmans, county Hertford, and Narford, county Norfolk, by Sarah his wife, daughter of Sir Thomas Chicheley, Master of the Ordnance, and was born in 1676. For his classical attainments he was knighted by King WiUiam III. at Hampton Court in 1699, and was one of the gentlemen who accompanied Lord Macclesfield to Hanover to announce to the Elector the Act of Accession passed by the British Parliament in 1701. From Hanover Sir Andrew Fountaine went to Italy, passing through Munich and buying anything scarce and curious which was brought to his notice. He succeeded to Narford on the death of his father in 1707. In 1714 he made a long sojourn at Paris, and went from thence again to Italy, spending nearly three years at Eome and Florence where he became intimate with Cosmo III., Grand Duke of Tuscany. After his return to England he was made Yice-Chamberlain to the Princess of Wales in 1725 ; was proxy for Prince William, afterwards Duke of Cumberland, at the revival of the Order of the Bath ; and in 1727 succeeded Sir Isaac Newton as Master of the Mmt. The improvements made by him to his house at Narford, necessitated the sale of a portion of his Collection, and he disposed of his medals to the Earl of Pembroke, the Duke of Devonshire, and the Venetian Ambassador Cornaro. In 1732 he determined to retire to his country seat and to remove his Collection to Narford. Unfortunately a portion of it was destroyed by fire at White's Chocolate House, where he stayed after he gave up his house in St. James's Place. The late Mr. Andrew Fountaine, who died in 1873, inherited from his ancestor the same taste for Art ; arranged the Collection in his house with great care, and added to it some of the choicest specimens of Majolica from the collections sold during his lifetime. The present Catalogue is taken almost verbatim from his private list, and shows the intelligent interest he took in the Collection. OATA.LOaXJ£]. First Day's Sale.
