A REMARKABLY CHOICE COPY.

TURNER (J. M. W.) PICTURESQUE VIEWS IN ENGLAND AND WALES, with Descriptive and Historic Illustrations by H. E. Lloyd, 96 large and beautiful engravings by the best artists, very fine original impressions, 2 vols. folio, LARGE PAPER, russia extra, gilt edges (FINE COPY), £31. 10s

1838

The "England and Wales" of Turner has always been considered his greatest work. His varied excellencies can only be properly appreciated when seen in fine impressions of the engravings, like the above.-J. M. W. TURNER is the only man who has ever given an entire transcript of the whole system of nature, and is, in this point of view, the ONLY PERFECT LANDSCAPE PAINTER whom the world has ever seen."-Ruskin's Modern Painters.

A REMARKABLY BRILLIANT COPY.

ANOTHER COPY, ARTIST'S PROOFS ON INDIA PAPER, with Descriptive and Historic Accounts of each View, by H. E. LLOYD; 2 vols. colombier folio, LARGEST PAPER, half morocco, top edges gilt, £105.

A very choice copy as to impressions; but as the whole of the Descriptive Text is inlaid to the size of the plates, it is offered at a proportionate reduction from its intrinsic value.

Vol. III. is expected shortly.

The above Autotypes give for the first time a worthy reproduction of the wonderful designs which were begun by Turner in rivalry with the Liber Veritatis of Claude. They were original studies, carefully conceived for the purpose of carried on day by day under his own eye, and sometimes done engraving-etched on the copper by himself, their engraving by his own hand.

On the importance to Artists of a profound study of these grand and thoughtful compositions Mr. Ruskin continually dilates in his "Modern Painters." In Vol. V. he sums up the lessons and the meaning of the Liber Studiorum, and reiterates the angry exclamation of the great painter, "What is the use of them," he said, "but together?" The appreciation of the public is shown by the high prices given for the complete series-as much as 700. and £800. having been obtained for them,
