This is without exception one of the most sumptuous works ever executed in any country, but its high price has hitherto kept it out of the hands of all but the wealthy. It is of equal interest to the Amateur, the Architect, the Sculptor and the Decorator, for nothing can exceed the number, variety, and beauty of the Ornaments and Details. It is accompanied by a complete Translation, by Pascual de Gayangos, of the Arabic Inscriptions, and an historical notice of the Kings of Granada from the Conquest of that City by the Arabs to the Expulsion of the Moors. "The Alhambra still exists-one of the most recent of European ruins. It is the most perfect in repair and the richest in design, and is still one of the most wonderful productions of Eastern splendour." see ORNAMENT. 10488 JOURNAL-MANUEL de PEINTURES appliquées à la Décoration des Monuments, Appartements, Magasins, etc. Bois, Marbres, Lettres, Imitation de Moulures, etc. dirigé par Chabat, Petit et Bisiaux, from the commencement in 1850 to 1870, both inclusive, containing over 500 plates, printed in gold and colours, 21 annual volumes, large folio (pub. at 21 guineas), sd. £7. 10s Paris, 1850-70 10489 KAY'S (J., the Scottish engraver) Works, consisting of the Portraits of local celebrities, 4to. 303 engravings, early PROOFS, the names written in pencil underneath, with a MS.
