done, with a picture uniform in style and consistent in colouring, while
the other will at best only exhibit a few brilliant scenes, which, like the
views in a magic lanthorn, will owe as much of their brilliancy to the
darkness with which they are contrasted as to the skill of the artist.

Messrs. Sotheby and Co. will sell, on Wednesday next and three following
days, the valuable Collection of Coins and Medals of the Rev. Dr. Neligan,
of Cork; and on the following Monday that gentleman's highly interesting
Antiquities, Illuminated MSS., Ancient Glass, Bronzes, Etruscan and Roman
Pottery, Silver Ring Money, &c.

To those who have never studied what Voltaire maliciously designated "the
science of fools with long memories," but yet occasionally wish to know the
families which have borne certain mottoes, the new edition of _The Book of
Mottoes_ will be a very acceptable source of information.
