For an interesting account of the engravings of the DEVONSHIRE GEMS--the rival publication of those from the Marlborough collection--the reader may consult Mr. Beloe's _Anecdotes of Literature and Scarce Books_; vol. I. 182-6.

The entire collection of Mr. Woodhouse's prints produced 3595_l._ 17_s._ 6_d._

We will now make handsome mention of the BIBLIOTHECA WOODHOUSIANA. _A Catalogue of the entire, elegant, and valuable Library of John Woodhouse, Esq., comprising a rich and extensive collection of books, &c. Sold by auction by Leigh and Sotheby, December, 1803._ 8vo. The collection was rather choice and rich, than extensive: having only 861 articles. Some of the rarest editions in old English Literature were vigorously contended for by well-known collectors: nor did the Library want beautiful and useful works of a different description. The following specimens will enable the reader to form a pretty correct estimate of the general value of this collection.
