With a view to ebvlate the great difficulty experienced by Amateurs (particularly in country houses) in obtaining Scenery, &c., to fix in a Drawing Room, and then only by considerable outlay for hire and great damage caused to walls, we have decided to keep a series of Scenes, &c., coloured on strong paper, which can be joined together or pasted on canvas or wood, according to requirement. Full directions, with diagrams shewing exact size of Back Scenes, Borders, and Wings, can be had free on application. The following four scenes each consists of thirty sheets of paper. h a GARDEN.

On the night of the 20th of August, 1756, my great grand. father retired to rest in that bed. About midnight, the family were roused from their slumber by the cries of " Murder!" proceeding from this apartment. My grandfather rushed in just in time to receive the dying breath of his father, which whispered " Murdered." Since that time, on every succeeding night of that date, the same horrible cries are heard to issue from this room, which are calculated to strike terror to the bravest heart. Hans. [Aside.] My Got un Himel! I wish I vas home. Cath. To-niaht is the 20th; so we shall have a chance of observing what passes, should the spirit appear.
