A.D. 1851. MR. B. HERTZ'S COLLECTION OF GEMS. The more rare the Discoveries in the world of Classic Art, and the fewer the Lovers of Antiquity who form Collections of its Treasures, the more inclined are we to appreciate any new collection of the kind, particularly that of Mr. B. Hertz, which has only recently become known to us through the medium of a printed catalogue.* That gentleman has lived in London for a number of years, during nearly twenty of which he has most judiciously availed himself of the many opportunities of acquiring beautiful works of art, which, • Catalogue of the Collection of Assyrian, Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan, Roman, Indian, Peruvian, and Mexican Antiquities, formed by B. Hertz, Corresponding Member of the Archaeological Institute of Rome, Lon- don, 1851, 4to., 156 pp., 6 plates. This catalogue was chiefly compiled from a learned work undertaken at the instance of the owner of the collection by Dr. W. Koner of Berlin, who, how- ever, could not prolong his stay in London until the completion of the catalogue. through the death or satiety of rich collectors, occur more frequently in England than even in Italy, where the traffic and price of them are less liable to fluctuation. By purchasing beautiful and costly articles belonging to all periods of art, Mr. Hertz has acquired a practised eye, and a power of discrimination which he has further exercised by making a selection from the acquisitions he had secured, in order to sift out the collection, the particulars of which are given in the catalogue. This collection is not indeed to be considered as having been formed on the methodical plan of a professional col- lector, but rather as a brilliant and instructive display of antiques of every kind belonging to an important department, being both most valuable and numerous, and suitable to the choicest of all collections, A CABINET OF GEMS. This remarkably rich Treasury of Gems, will be, in accordance with the plan properly adopted in the said printed catalogue, the principal subject of our present notice. We find specified, with accurate description, in the first 94 pages of the catalogue,* 54 Oriental Gems, 115 Scarabaei, 7 Romano-Egyptian Intaglios, 1396 Greek and Roman Intaglios, 218 Cameos, 5 Byzantine, lastly, 6 Mexican, Indian, and Chinese specimens, with a considerable number of modern stones (61 Intaglios and 160 Cameos). Passing by the specimens of modern, and also those of exotick art, as not coming within our province, we shall next notice in this extensive collection those of Ancient Greek Glyptics, as we are accustomed to find them on the Scarabaei of Etruscan orifjin. Placed foremost in the catalogue among the resplendent array of Etruscan Scarab^i, amounting to 115, are thirty gems with figures of Animals, among which the following deserve particular notice: the Lion, 55 ; the Female Panther (with a Bee near her), 57, (see Impronte deW Instituto, III, 51); two large Oxen, QQ, 67 ; three Swine, on three large stones, beautifully executed (74, 75, with boughs), and, similar to these, 72 (with three sucking pigs); the Calydonian Boar, near which is a spear, 76. We * In the present sale catalogue, the arrangement of the collection has been much altered ; consequently, the numbers of the various objects referred to in the course of this article do not now agree with the former catalogue, the pre- sent numbers having reference to the objects as now arranged. find proper adjuncts to the figures of animals : at 234, there is a Stork holding a snake in its bill ; at 696, a beautiful Sphinx* at rest; at 235, a remarkable wreath, known from the Impronte delV Instituto, I, 14. Engaged in a contest with a Lion is a sup- posed Arimaspian; he resembles Silenus in feature; but, on the other hand, the tail which, being parallel with the lion's tail clutched by the combatant's left hand, is supposed to belong to it, appears to be rather a termination of his garment, and gives rise to the ques- tion whether he should not be considered as a Hercules already clad in a lion's skin (possibly after the fight on Mount Cithseron), now struggling with the Nemean lion. What adds to the singularity of this group is, that the hero has turned the forepaws of the lion into such a position, that they seem to belong to his garment. Strongly resembling this group, which reminds one of Asiatic art, is the figure of a goddess of undoubted Asiatic origin, with wings like Artemis on the chest of Cypselus (^See Paus V, 18, 1), and several other known figures; she drags a lion by the paws on each side of her. Several superior gems represent figures of young men and warriors of uncertain or problematical designation, in con- templating which, one is more likely to admire the beauty of work- manship than to set up a claim to universal antiquarian erudition. Of the representations of lightly-armed young warriors, those that deserve particular notice are, a young Man who holds in his right hand a lance adorned with ribands, while the left rests on an oblong shield (according to the catalogue), or rather a pillar; 244, a Youth, with his back turned, who holds a spear, and steps with his left foot on a rock; 245, kneeling Youths before an altar; 258, 259, that remind one of the departure of Achilles for Troy; likewise the beautiful gem, know^n from the Im'pronte deW Instituto^ and formerly in Dr. Nott's Collection, of a Youth who washes him- self, standing before a basin, 258. Worthy of notice also are the groups of warriors standing near each other; 251, 252, which designation, however, requires a closer scrutiny, especially in re- ference to the beautiful ancient gem, 461, (The Old Man and the Youth, perhaps rather Thetis and Achilles.) Among the Greek figures of Gods, the following deserve raen- * This is one of tlie most marvellous Gems in the Collection. a2 IV tion: Neptune, with a dolphin and a poised trident, 470; Mercury holding the caduceus, a hind, and a lituus, which was anciently of wide proportions, 480, (Impronte delV Instituto, III, Q); the gem, 684, next to this, designated by the name of Hermes Psychopompus, with a Siren, answers to the representation, as supposed by Panofka, of Perseus and a Graea, which explanation cannot be considered as quite satisfactory. There is no lack of Bacchic representations. Excellent, in a severe style, is the figure of Silenus (though he has no tail), holding a cup, 475, where he is in a kneeling posture, as, on the beautiful stone, 477. Of high value is the Silenus that fills a drinking-horn out of a vessel, 476, which compare with 478 (Silenus before a vessel). There is a wonderful truth of expression in the Satyr or Faun, with a lyre in his hand, who kicks and breaks an amphora, 479. As a con- trast to this, on a gem (460), which is in a freer style, a Youth is represented sitting on the altar adorned with garlands, and stooping over a hydria ; which seems rather to indicate the funeral sacrifice of Orestes than any Bacchanalian subject. It is strange that the youthful naked figure of 473, of such delicate frame and holding a thjTsus, should have been mistaken for Bacchus, who, according to Etruscan style, is mostly bearded; uncommon, in the same class of gems, is the figure of jEsculapius who is recog- nizable, at 472, by the staff encircled by a serpent, and again, at 717, by a serpent wound round a foot erroneously referred to Philoctetes. We may expect frequent representations of Mars, as 471 is termed. But some of them are questionable; by an oversight, the name of Helios is applied to a gem exhibiting the fall of Phaeton from the chariot. A remarkable winged Figure, 685, which is that of Moira, casting the lots of death into an urn, is said to be Iris fetching water from the Styx for the Gods to swear by, {Gerhard Etr. Spiel 7, 41, 3). Of the other Mythological representations, we particularly admire, as single figures, the Giant hurling a stone (468), well known from the Impronte deW Instituto V, 1 ; Perseus, with the Medusa's head and the harp^, (688); the winged Icarus (692, Impronte delV Insti- tuto, I, 28). Prometheus bound to the rock is also mentioned in the catalogue, 687. Attractive and at the same time enigmatical gem figures, which, in accordance with a hint formerly given in this work (Arch. Anz. p. 17) liave been named Alcaeus (688), and Aglaurus (689), the former, on account of the image of a smger, distinguislied by a helmet, cock and lute ; the latter, on account of the figure of a woman seated on the shaft of a pillar, and holding an owl. In the Etruscan department there are other very pleasing objects that ofttimes recur, as, for instance, those that relate to the cycle of Theban legends. Cadmus appears three times at the very beginning of the contest with the dragon, which preceded the foundation of Thebes; in presence of the dragon guarding the fountain, 693 ; so likewise at 694, with his sword behind him ; setting his foot on a water-vessel (695, a very beautiful gem). A similar representation of a hero guarding a fountain, on another beautiful scarabaeus, with the enigmaticpl inscription, Ceres, came into the possession of the owner of this collection after the catalogue was finished. There are also many representations of the war of the Seven Chiefs. Why Adrastus is supposed to be the hero in a kneeling posture at 248, it is not easy to conjecture ; nor is there any positive certainty about Tydeus with the head of Menalippus at 709, which bears indistinct characters. We are pretty certain, however, to find on these scarabaei unmistakeable designs in reference to the famous legend of the offence and fall of Capaneus overtaken by Jupiter's thunderbolt (698) ; Capaneus applying the ladder (699), or falling down in deathlike stupor, as exhibited at different stages, and immediately understood from the flashes of lightning; to which subject other gems may be assigned, for instance, 254, " Kneeling Warrior,'" who is aware of the cause, and perhaps, likewise, 247 , the " hero wounded in his body by an arrow," who is unaware of it. A hero standing and looking up, after having dropped his helmet and sword, is referable to the same subject. Several of the representations relate to Hercules. We find him three times victorious over the hind of Maenalus, (703, 4 and 5); conquering the serpent-tailed Cerberus, 701 {^Improrite deW Instituto, I, 17); aiming at the Stymphalian birds, 702 (but this is a wrong supposition, he is not aiming upwards); standing thoughtful, as if intending to purify himself by an ablution, 256, a beautiful and large stone, with which compare 695) ; crowned by Cupid (706) ; also kneeling, which is otherwise shown, when he carries Cupid as a burden. Among the stones which exhibit the Trojan war, we find VI Diomedes hurling a stone at jEneas, 707, {Impronte delC Insti- tutOy V, 39) ; Diomedes and Ulysses slaying Dolon, (708 ;) Diomedes carrying away the Palladium ; and near these, another figure, 711, which, though assigned to Venus, seems rather to be Apollo; the suicide of Ajax, on two excellent stones, (712, 713,) one of which bears the inscription Aiug, not At.. Less posi- tive is the opinion respecting two other stones, supposed to indicate the sacrifice of Achilles on his departure (258), and his putting on his armour (715). A third beautiful stone shows him with more certainty, wounded in the heel (714), and on a stone sup- posed to be of very ancient rude design, perhaps 686, (" Centaur, standing"), the practice of Achilles, with the lance and sword, in the presence of Chiro, appears to be meant. Achilles trampling on the dead body of Hector, on 243, might, with a greater degree of probability, be assumed to be meant than Tydeus and Menalippus. In the Trojan cycle of events is also included (716) Philoctetes with the bow; with which compare the gems 2129, 2130, which are also Etruscan. Far less certainty prevails respecting a stone well known to me from an earlier collection of my own, and which it is difficult not to suspect to have been retouched ; on it are three men's figures; one, the principal figure; the others, subordinate (Bacchus sometimes appears with two attendants), entwined by snakes, which, in the present condition of the stone, particularly on account of the heads facing each other, corresponds in every respect to the opinion expressed that it relates to Laocoon and his sons. Several of these stones are supposed to exhibit subjects taken from the Odyssey. The very expressive figure of a hero hurrying down a declivity (245), has been assigned to Ulysses^ on account of the drawn sword which is congruous to the subject, though the shield is not; and there is a lurking temptation to explain it, as allusive to Necromantia, until a satisfactory solution is given. At 710 stands a youth with a lance on a rock, on which is a head which he touches. Incomparably more expressive as allusive to the Odyssey, is the excellent stone (255, a standing figure ; on the ground, is a head), on which is depicted a youth who, holding a lance in his right hand, while his left arm rests on his knee, steps with his left foot on a rock, near which a beardless head Vii rising up looks at him. A clue to the explanation of this picture is afforded by an object close by, which is readily taken for the beak of a ship, although it terminates in antlers. We have thus particularized these beautiful Etruscan Beetle Stones, (usually called Scarab^i) no less attractive as works of art than as antiques, partly because the task was easier, on account of prints having been made of most of them, for which favour we are indebted to the kindness of the owner ; partly because an exhibition, equally impressive at one view, of the remains of old Grecian art of any kind, can scarcely any- where else be presented to our observation. There belong not to it, it is true, so many stones with inscriptions, as the cen- turies of the Archaeologists' Institute could produce; but it would be unfair to measure a private collection by the standard of a selec- tion made at the most favourable period of Etruscan discoveries, as seen in prints of the most varied collections. It may, however, be asserted that the assemblage of Scarabsei, which is now the subject of our remarks, numerically exceeds, as far as we know, any similar collection open to the public. Next to the magnificent display of Antique Signets, we find a correspondingly choice, but far greater selection, of stones engraved or in relief (Intaglios and Cameos) of the Roman period. While we acknowledge the value of this part of the collection, we can but express our regret that the Gems and Pastes are mixed; this, however, is convenient, as far as the arrangement of subjects goes. The catalogue enumerates, somewhat like Winckelmann's descrip- tion of the Stosch Collection, a richly stored mythological Series of Characteristic Gems appertaining to Gods and Heroes. They begin, 79, with Cybele, Vesta, Jupiter, as far as 121, and the other gods. We single out what appears to us to deserve notice for its workmanship or peculiarity. 80 is an Amethyst with an image of Cybele, drawn by a Vestal. 81, shews a snake- footed giant, brandishing a club, with the inscription IGRAC. or ICRAC, probably the name of the owner (GRACI. query, Gracchi?), who, without sufficient reason, has been taken for the giant Agrius. 82 is a beautiful Sardonyx, wdth a veiled bust of Vesta, near which is a torch. Then follow images of Jupiter Serapis from 83 to 88, and Anuuon, as far as 89; then, different VIU images of Jupiter, among which is (102) Jupiter standing on the globe of the world with a sceptre in his hand, and on the right " Ceres seated," or some other figure holding the horn of plenty ; near the god there is standing another small " Abun- dantia," or Fortune, holding likewise in one hand a horn of plenty, while the other holds up a crown to the god. A peculiar assem- blage of the symbols of the three parts of the earth is exhibited on an Onyx, 104. Aloft there is an eagle with a thunderbolt, below in the waves, a dolphin; and on poppy-heads, an owl, with an inscription applying to the whole, I20KPATIA., that is, equal sovereignty. On 105, a Sardonyx, appear Mercury and Jupiter, with constellations between them. On 113, Yellow Paste, are an ox, a lion, a cock, and a dog, assembled round a thunderbolt. These emblematical figures are succeeded by representations allusive to the adventures of Jupiter with Ganymede, Leda, jEgina ; the last, as a maiden seated on a stone, whom an eagle approaches (114, Carnelian); 115, Plasma, undoubtedly represents Ganymede still standing on the ground, but holding a thunderbolt in his hand, in the same manner as Cupid is sometimes depicted with that symbol of might A magnificent Red Jasper exhibits Pluto on his throne with the modius and sceptre, Cerberus being at his side ; the inscription ePMHClPN. is still unexplained. We find also, with the inscrip- tion Cereri on the Onyx, 261, a Ceres standing, holding ears of com and a torch ; also near Ceres seated, with a bowl, a sceptre, and a basket of fruit (265, a burnt Sardonyx, with the name of the owner C. Cor. Severi). From 279 to 306, there is a series of Neptunes. Then comes a beautiful Sardonyx (307) with a half length figure of Hephaistos with pileus and hammer; there are on it fine, and, to all appearance, very old written characters indi- cating the artist's name, SOAQNOS. Among the Minervas are portrayed two Promachi challenging each other (488, a Sard ; 489, a Jasper). Further on, is a Minerva Musica armed with helmet and lance, and provided with flutes, with apparently the artist's name TETKTOT., i. e. Tfuvtrpou. inscribed (492, a very beautiful Hyacinth); then the image of a marine goddess, understood to be Pallas, before whom are seen a ship and a small figure of a man in a Roman garb (494, a Sard) ; next come Medusa Heads, some of which are of excellent workmanship, j)articularly 495 a IX Sard, and 499, a Jasper. From the figures of Mars, we select 502, a Heliotrope with a figure, holding a Victory, with the insignia of an emperor ; the Victory stands upon a globe borne by Atlas. Among the representations relating to Venus, which extend from 513 to 531 and from 719 to 724, we find, on a red Jasper (513), a Paphian temple with the inscription AI4>AnH., i. e. v TlaCpiu, on the left of it. The figures from 719 to 723 relate to Libitma. Very nume- rous and pleasing by their accessories, are Cupid and the Loves, as might have been anticipated from so abundant and well chosen a collection. We notice the following as rare : 744, Paste, two Loves, and, near them, two cocks as combatants in the palaestra; 766, Cupid on a horse of monstrous symbolic formation; 908, Plasma, two Loves in the air, one playing on the flute astride a swan which the other pulls downwards; 909, 910, Onyx and Sard, Cupid offering an oblation in the temple of Venus; 911, Love sacrificing before a Priapus; 909, Onyx, Love with a torch and prize-vessel, with a vase opposite, out of which appears a skele- ton (Impronte delV Instituto, II, 58); 920, Sard, Cupid riding on a lion with a bough in his hand; 922, Sard, Eros and Anteros raising a trophy. We have by no means yet exhausted the rich store here presented to us, particularly those of Cupid and Psyche, the series of which extends from 923 to 936. As instances, we may mention (924, Paste) Psyche sacrificing before an image of Her- cules; (934, Onyx, Cupid, with the head of a bull (qy.??), playing on the lyre ; behind him is a club, on which Psyche stands in the form of a butterfly (935, Sard); Cupid, with a buttei-fly before an altar, on which is a half-moon ; opposite to him, stands Anteros ; (936, Carnelian), a butterfly on a death's head. Then follow the three Graces, No. 937. With some of the images of Pha3bus appear the Zodiacal signs surrounding his chariot (No. 942, Carnelian). In Apollo's compartment (948 to 955, and 1078 to 1105), is seen, on 955 (Onyx), Apollo holding a bow, and a stag ; the figure appears to be the Milesian ; 1080, Sardonyx, (" Apollo Mantis ") exhibits the god sitting on a round altar, holding a branch of laurel, and encircled with serpents ; 1084 (a Sard with an Etruscan border), Apollo Musagetes sitting on a throne adorned with griffins ; before him is a tripod on an altar adorned with garlands ; (1085, an excel- lent Nicolo), Apollo clad with a lyre, leaning on a pillar, on the other side stands a high blazing tripos. On 1105, Sard, the flay- ing of Marsjas by the Scythians is represented with close fidelity to nature. Hyacinth throwing the quoit (1 106, Nicolo) is a scarce figure of indifferent workmanship, explained by the name Tu\iiv^og. Among the representations of the Muses, we find (1110, Nicolo), a Mercury playing on a lyre before a statue of Minerva; (1111, Chalcedony), a Muse seated before a masked with a phallic-pillar, qy. a terminal Pan (1120, an excellent Plasma,) Terpsichore playing on the lyre. The triple Hecate on 1121 (Plasma), is attended on each side by a dog. Of two heads of Luna, the one (1122, Onyx) is considered a portrait ; the other bears the unexplained inscription SARHCAE. Next to various figures of Diana, (1134, a Sard) Actaeon devoured by his dogs. In the number of Mercuries, of which the series extends from 1135 to 1158, and 1298 to 1309, we find a strange Lapis Lazuli, 1143, on which Mercury appears with a modius (query, Petasus ?) holding a palm-branch and a caducous, and, near him, a dog looking up. Excellent is the Hermes seated on the ledge of a rock, with a caducous in his hand ; we are struck with the singularity of ears of corn as attributes of Mercury, near whom there is also a tortoise (Heliotrope, 1150). We also see a scorpion near a Mercury with a winged cap, purse and caducous (1158, Plasma). The ram's head (1298 to 1300) is remark- able. Hermes Nomius riding on a ram (1302 and 1303) ; Hermes carrying the boy Bacchus (1304 and 1305). Rare is the union, as on the Jasper 1306, of a Mercury seated on a rock with a little Pan, seated at his feet, longing for a pipe. There are other figures of deities, jEsculapius, Hygeia, Telesphoros, from 1310 to 1317 (-^sculapius with the unexplained inscription A^QE, (1314). Among the many representations, seven different bearded portraits (from 1318 to 1324) are conspicuous. Of these, 1323 (Onyx) is particularly to be noticed on account of the name of a former owner (L. Volceium Paulum, in the accusative case). There is a very fine youthful head of the same god on the Hya- cinth, 1326. A very ornamental gem, the Onyx 1329, deno- minated a festal procession towards the infant Bacchus seated on the ground, resembles representations, already known, supposed to depict kindred mystical ceremonies {compare Ghd. Ant. Bildw. Taf. cccxi. 3). We do not often find Bacchus and Ceres together. XI as in the Paste 1335, where Bacchus is known by the cantharus and panther ; Ceres, by the ears of com and the " bough " (?) in her hand. The beautiful Sard, 1336, exhibits a pretty group in connexion with the education of Bacchus ; the boy, seated on a rock, receives water in a bowl from the nymph Leucothoe ; close by, is a terminal Priapus. The following are scarce: 1339, Sard, Bacchus with the thyrsus and wine-pitcher encircled by three shrieking owls {compare Gerhard Trinkschalen and Gef. Taf. x. S) ; Bacchus near a Priapus, 1342, Paste ; Bacchus and Ariadne in a bower, and, on either side above, probably a Ceres (1343, Paste). Among Ariadne's heads, the Sardonyx, 1348, holds a distinguished place. Among the many figures of Silenus and the Satyrs (1351 to 1374, and from 1538 to 1542, together with "Satyrs, Fauns," from 1543 to 1597, Pans from 1598 to 1607), we prefer the bust of Silenus (1354, Sard); the seated drinking Silenus (1360, Sard) ; the intoxicated Silenus, on an ass, accompanied by a Satyr (1362, Paste); the group of a Silenus and Bacchante (1374, Sard) ; an intoxicated Silenus supported by two Satyrs (1545, Sardonyx). {see Impronte delV Inst. VI. 9), a Faun, with a fawn's skin, pouring wine out of a cask into a bowl (1577, a beautiful Sardonyx); likewise, from a leathern bottle into an amphora (1578, Sardonyx); the danc- ing Bacchus, with drapery, holding a cluster of grapes (1592, Sard); an excellent masked Pan (1601, Jasper). There are others, too, of great merit. Some double heads should be noticed ; Silenus and Faunus(1356, Paste); Silenus and Satyr (1358, Sard); likewise, the upper part of a Silenus with prophetic gesture (1359, Paste) (see Impronte delV Instituto IV. 39) ; the sitting Silenus, with a judge's staff in each hand (1360, a beautiful Sardonyx). A striated Paste, 1372, which we notice, because it has been supposed, in accord- ance with Braun's opinion, to relate to Dionysus and his son lacchus and to represent (which is erroneous) Bacchus leaning on a Herme and presenting grapes to little Bacchus seated, might, if handsomely set, properly take its place in this part of the catalogue. The pre- tended infant Bacchus is more likely an infant Satyr. A similar doubt recurs with regard to 1559, a Nicolo, said to represent a little Bacchus on the knees of a Faun. We may further call notice to the following ; a Silenus playing on the flute near an image of Priapus, a Faun close by (1373, Carnelian, with an ancient silver xu mounting); a Silenus on a leathern bottle in a car drawn by a Cupid (1539, Sard); a bearded Satyr seated on a rock, with poppy heads in his left hand (1544, Jasper); two Satyrs sacrificing a stag on a blazing altar, with characters, in an old style (1553, SardJ ; Satyr on the ledge of a rock, before a vessel with a flower, (?) (1560, Carnelian); Faun playing with a dog (1563, a beautiful Onyx); Faun with his right hand outstretched, as if playing at the game of " Morra " (1564, Onyx); Faun holding up a hare (1568, a pretty Onyx); a Satyr teaching the young Faun to play on the flute (1569); Kneeling Faun weaving a chaplet (1583, in an ancient mounting of gold) ; Another, with an obscure inscription COL... MOiy. (No. 1582, Paste); Winged Bacchic Genius holding a bunch of grapes, a hare at his feet, the moon and stars near him (No. 1596, Nicolo) ; Pan fighting with a he-goat, a she-goat between them (1606, Paste); Pan near the fountain; close by is a youth seated on a rock with a branch, also a grasshopper and a snail, and behind the youth, a half moon (1607, a superb Sard); Syrinx raised on an altar, Pan in the background, and, close by, perhaps two Loves (1608, Carnelian). Figures of Priapus (1609 and 1610) and the Dioscuri (1611), are succeeded by Fortunes, among which are: (1612, Sard) Fortune and Mercury; (1738) Fortuna "Primigenia" on a wild goat, hold- ing a cornucopia and a thyrsus, Sard {Imp. deW Inst. IV, 10); 1739, Fortune raising a figure, perhaps a province, from a kneeling posture. Paste; 1741, Fortune and Love (Plasma, Impr. II. 39); 1742, two Fortunes (Paste); then 1744, "Abundance" with cornucopia, naked, on a car to which lions are yoked, conducted by one Cupid, and accompanied by a second (Carnelian). Then follow Victories with various similar winged beings. Those chiefly to be noticed, are, 1759, Victory standing on the beak of a ship, at the end of which is the terrestrial globe with the ship's inscription DIV.IVL.F., a Sard; 1760, Victory with a bough and a horn of plenty (Paste) ; 1764, Victory with a bough and a trophy, on the reverse is a "Meleager," or other hunter, riding and fighting with a boar; 1765, a Victory, perhaps, one of the Parcse, reading a message (Paste); 1769, Victory mai'ch- ing before an Emperor followed by a warrior with a legionary eagle (Onyx); 1771, Victory with a terrestrial globe and a shield, on XI 11 one side are an eagle and a small figure (qy. a province ?) seated at her feet (Carnelian) ; lastly, 1773, a splendid Sard, a winged Minerva, Victory that stands on the terrestrial globe and holds an owl. Then comes the beneficent Deity, Bonus Eventus, with various attributes; Another, with a bowl and ears of corn, 1774 (a beautiful Plasma) ; Another, 1778 (Plasma), with the inscription AVOE. with scales ( ?), and a palm-branch, leaning on a pillar, with a dog before him, inscription L. D. VIRILI (1775, Sard, Impr. II, 38) ; Another, with patera and bough, and an abundance of fruit (1776, Nicolo). Lastly, there are in this series City and Country Deities, e. g. Anti- ochiawith the river Orontes (1779, Plasma; 1780, Paste); Heads of Africa (1781, Nicolo, 1782, Sard) ; and, as a symbol of Sicily, Tri- quetra with the head of a Gorgon and ears of corh (1783, Sard). The series concludes with representations (from 1784 to 1794) of such constellations as the Lion, the Ram, the Goat, the Bull, the Scor- pion, and the Fishes. The series of Heroic Fable begins with the punishment of Pro- metheus on Caucasus (1795, Paste, 1796, a beautiful Sard) and with Epimetheus, who, according to an interpretation lately doubted, opens Pandora's box (1797, Paste, see Winckelman Descr. Stosch. III. 14.) Many are the figures of Hercules, from 1798 to 1813 and 1936 to 1975. Among the numerous heads, the best are a Nicolo, 1798, and an Onyx, 1799, a fine Hyacinth, 1937, then the broken Sard, 1805, noticed in the Imp. deW Inst. I, 67 ; further on, 1806, a bearded Hercules crowned with laurel, '* a portrait," a very fine Sard ; there are also laurel-crowned heads of Hercules from 1809 to 18 1 2, and one crowned with ivy, 1936. Scarce is the side face (1938, Paste) covered with a lion's skin, and formed with a bird instead of the beard, and a ram's head instead of the ear, with a club and ears of corn. Peculiarly expressive is the figure (1942, a beautiful Sard) of infant Hercules strangling the serpents ; he sits on a table with an ivy- crowned bowl (Skyphos?) Very celebrated is the intoxicated Hercules (1949, Carnelian); Another, (1956 Sard). Hercules receiving the commands of Eurystheus is the subject of a beautiful Sard, likewise with a rim, and in a severe style. As part of the labours of Hercules, we find the adventures of the lion and the Stymphalian birds, the boar, and the victory over Antajus (1957 to 1959). There are charming representations in this division: the XIV purification of Hercules for a murder by Deiphobus between two tombstones, with the inscription ANI. (1961, a beautiful Sardonyx) ; Hercules between Minerva and Venus, or between Virtue and Pleasure (1965, a fine Chalcedony) ; Hercules prostrate in a state of intoxication (1966, Nicolo); Hercules with the club and skyphos, and the Greek name (not imderstood) of the artist Admon (1967, Carne- lian) ; lastly, Hercules crowned by Victory, in the backgroimd a Roman standard, on which is an eagle with a bough (1969, Carne- lian). Behind the dying Hercules, appears Omphale (1970,) and, on the Onyx (1972), an old man, supposed to be Death. Perseus (1976), holding the Gorgon's head, has the inscription ATTAMANOY. Bellerophon, mounted on Pegasus and barked at by the dog Maera, fights with the Chimaera (1979, Carnelian). The same subject is several times repeated, as at 1980, Onyx. Cadmus at the fountain, facing the dragon (1988, 1989) ; GEdipus and the Sphinx (1990, and following). Remarkable is the winged Sphinx, with the upper part of a human body, before a casket, out of which she has taken a string of pearls. Among the gems are : the combat between the Theban brothers (1994, 1995) ; Jason facing the dragon of Colchis (1996, Onyx. Impr.1. 78); Another, (1997, 1998); OrjAeus playingon the lyre (1999, 2000); Meleager before the boar's head (2001, Plasma; Inscription FL. AUG.); Another, attacking the boar (2002, Plasma); Daedalus (2003), Icarus (2006), Theseus (2008), a Carnelian formerly in the Nott collection. Imp. 1. 69) ; Narcissus looking at Echo, Cupid by (a fine Plasma, 2011) ; Lycurgus cutting the vines down (2013, an Onyx with a rim,) in a severe style ; Leander swimming appears four times (2015 and following) ; Helle borne on a golden ram, if the presence of a Cupid allows of such a designation (2019, Sard). Peleus squeezing out his hair before a basin of water, is also of Etruscan workmanship, and it bears the inscription Pele, (2020, Onyx) ; then (?omes Argos (or Tiphys) stepping forth on the ship that bears his name (2021, Carnelian). The long series of heroic representations is succeeded by one ap- propriated to the Trojan war. First of all, the city of Troy with the dragging of Hector round the walls by Achilles (2022, Amethyst), Calchas at the sacrifice of Iphigenia, which is typified by the hind (2023, Onyx). The groups (2024, 2025) representing a corpse carried by a man (Is it not that of Patroclus carried by Ajax ?), and the XV scene of the drawing of lots for meeting Hector's challenge (2026, Paste), are in the catalogue applied to Menelaus. To the history of Achilles belong his dipping in the Styx by Thetis (2027, Garnet), his instruction in music by Chiron (2028, a pretty Sard with BANI in- scribed), Achilles sitting alone playing (2031, Amethyst); Achilles receiving his armour from Thetis (2032, fine Nicolo) ; Achilles resting himself (2033, Paste) ; Achilles looking at his armour (2107 and following); Achilles near a tomb, supposed to be that of Patroclus (2104, 2108); the reception of Priam (2109), and lastly, the mortal wounding of Achilles (2112, Sard). Very cele- brated is the helmeted portrait of this hero on Jasper (2030), near which, a beautiful portrait with a beard (2029), close to which a lance appears ; this should perhaps rather be consi(fered as that of Peleus than of Achilles. Problematical is the designation of a fine bearded head, as being that of Peleus ; no less so, that of Neoptolemus (2115, Paste). Among the various Homeric heroes in this well-arranged series, we meet with an Ajax, a fine helmeted head on a Sard (2120); Ajax protecting Ulysses and hurling a rock at the Trojans (2121, Paste); Ajax holding the head of the slain Imbrios, on whose body he tramples (2122, Paste); Ajax, the son of Oileus, pursuing Cassandra (2123, Paste); then Diomedes, Philoctetes, and Ulysses; Diomedes trampling on the body of Dolon, whose severed head he holds (2 1 24, Onyx) ; Diomedes stealing the Palladium (2125 and following); the sacrifice of Philoctetes and the bite of the serpent (2129); Philoctetes possessor of the bow of Hercules (2130, both of these are beautiful Etruscan stones); representations of the sufferings of Philoctetes (2131 and following); Ulysses, a bust with the pileus, with artist's name Kpuftov (2135, Sard). There is much doubt respecting Ulysses near the ships building (2136, a fine Sardonyx, Impr. I. 95. Tiphys? Argos?), and Ulysses as a kneel- ing bearded warrior, with Medusa's head on his breast, and a shield held up (2134, Carnelian). We also find here Scylla as a single figure (2138, 2139), or in pursuit of the companions of Ulysses (2137, a beautiful Carnelian, Impr. I. 93), and Sirens in abundance, one playing on the flute (2146, Paste), and another, a messenger of death, provided with an amphora and a torch (2141, Carnelian, see Millin, Gal 80, 312). The flight of ^neas (2142, 2143, Pastes), and a head of Laocoon (2 144), terminate this marvellous Series of Mythological Gems. XVI In the succeeding Historical Representations, Othryades (2145 and 2146, known from Impr. delV Inst. I. 99), and some Greek portraits, Socrates, Aristotle, Alexander dying (2147 and following) complete the Greek series; Rome and the she-wolf form the greater part of the Roman contents, extending from 2151 to 2165. Among the latter are included two heads of Lucretia, with the dagger in her breast, 2163, 2164 (Should the Lapis Lazuli, 2162, be considered ancient?),* and a walking figure, which one is inclined to consider as that of Sextus Pompeius, with a beak of a ship (2165, Paste). The mask in the hand of Rome (2151, 2153) appears strange, and what is no less so, this goddess is represented with the attribute of a shield resting against her seat (2154, a superb Sard). This last bears the unexplained inscription HEROPHILI OPOBALSAMUM. The suckling she-wolf, with the shepherds looking on, occurs several times, first on 2155, a beautiful Sard known from the Impr. d. Inst. I. 65. There is, besides, the Rearing of Romulus (2166, Carnelian, Impr. IV. 88), and the Viewing of Tolus' head (2160, Nicolo). The succeeding portraits from 2166 to 2223, and from 2299 to 2331, begin with Cicero, Pompey the Great, Mark Antony, C. and L. Cassar (2169, with the inscription, KI((OC(OAAAA), Agrippa and Julia. Next comes a magnificent row of portraits of the Caesars, next to which is a head named Jugurtha from the inscription (2290, Garnet). A Ptolemy crowned with rays (2293, a beautiful Sard), several Asiatic gems with paired heads of Kings and Queens (2298, Sard); a two-faced portrait, with Phrygian headgear, bearded, and also beardless (2320), besides many, known and unknown, valuable on account of the workmanship and antiquity, or of the inscriptions on them, have been placed here. Among them is an enchased man's head with a brutal wanton expression, whose beard and hair are formed with birds; there appears a Pan's head in the background (2318, beautiful Sard). With regard to the inscriptions, besides the above mentioned name of Jugurtha, such as XnOPA of an "Empress" (Sard); PATER a man's portrait (2299, Jasper) ; LTPSA (Another, 2301, Jasper); TAT...KQW (sic !) front portrait of a man (2302, Nicolo) require examination and explanation. • We leave this question to the opinion of the learned. XVll Wortliy of notice among the Historical Gems, are two Apotheoses of imperial personages, viz.: that of an unknown woman borne by an eagle, holding a serpent (2295, Sard), and that of a Caesar (2296, a Sard likewise), also mounted upon an eagle, holding in one hand a horn of plenty with a flame, in the other a whip, while there are near him a crescent and a disc of the moon. Two portraits of Drusus, jun., between two horns of plenty, deserve to be mentioned on account of the manner in which the subject is treated. The same design, as on 2206 (Paste), is repeated three times, with the addition of the symbols or attributes of Mercury or Neptune, a messenger's winged foot and staff, and a dolphin. On the reverse of a Jasper (2218), with the portrait of Marcus Aurelius, is an eagle, with a laurel branch in its beak, seated between two Roman standards. Peculiar are the atti'ibutes accom- panying a head of Commodus (2220, Sard), viz.; a butterfly, a peacock, and a star. On the score of workmanship, the following are highly valuable: Livia's head (2177), Tiberius' (2183), the younger Agrippina's (2192), Pompeius Magnus, with the inscrip- tion AnOMQIOT, the artist's name (Hyacinth, 2205), Octavia (2210, Sard), Matilda, (2213, a splendid Sard, Impr. 11. 80), Lucilla (2282, Carnelian), Albinus (2286, Plasma), a helmeted woman's head, with a cornucopia (2326, Onyx), and besides, several unknown women's heads (2321 to 2325), one of which, the Carnelian was noticed in the Impr. d. I., when it was the property of Di\ Nott, whose collection * ranked high among the most celebrated Treasuries of Gems. At the end of this department, there is a spherical amulet (2331), which Q,-sK\\At& fourteen heads, round a Serapis and Isis, twelve of which are unknown; not those of the twelve gods, as one is apt to imagine. Among the representations of every day life (2332 to 2358), in our notice of which, want of space compels us to be more brief, are first found mixed together, Hunting, Meadows, Landscapes, Sacred Ceremonies, Gymnastics, and what aj)pertains to Warfare. We * It was sold a few years since in "Wellington Street by Public Auction, forming many Dars' Sale. b XVIU find particularized, as of excellent workmanship, 2363, Sard, the head of a Vestal ; 2370, Carnelian, a Youth offering a sacrifice ; 2390, Sardonyx, a Discobulus; 2391, Sard, a Charioteer; 2458, Carnelian, four horses of a Quadriga; 2493, Amygdaloid, Her- cules attacked by a flying serpent; 2494, Plasma, Emperor hunting on horseback and a dog; 2507, Sard, a riding Amazon; 2508, Carnelian (Impr, III. 87), a helmeted head, with a ram's; 2514, Jasper, a helmet with Bellerophon and Pegasus depicted on it. On the score of high antiquity, we find the following stones singled out : first, the " Good Shepherd" originally known as Hermes Kriop- horos, is found on a Carnelian, 2344, with a lamb on his shoulders, two tigers near, and the unexplained inscription E SIVKEV. On 2349, Sard, referable perhaps to Zeus Aristaeus, a man seated before a bee-hive, near which are two wheat-ears, and above, an eagle with a sceptre. At 2350, Onyx, Impr. II. 25, Rural scene, a man with a dog, startled at the approach of the Goddess of Victory, if a naked woman with a palm branch should have such a designation ; 2355, Nicolo, a woman, with a whip, riding on a donkey, and in the back-ground, a man carrying fruit on a pole; 2356, fine Jasper, an angling fisherman; 2357, Onyx, a youth with a Phrygian cap, a crook, and a cantharus, much more likely a Ganymede than one of the Cabiri; 2358, Paste, a sun-dial on a pilaster, a dolphin above. In the department of Religious Ceremonies, we find on 2359 (Sard, Impr. IV. 48), a Hierodule with a torch; 2360, a Sard with Etruscan border, an Etruscan wi'iting, to whom, Tages raising his head from the ground, prophecies. The supposed Necromancer that, on 2361 (an Etruscan Sard), holds an ear of corn before a figure advancing, is rather applicable to the return of Proserpine. There is much more certainty respecting the Necromancer (2362 Onyx), with a magical wand before a rising man's head and two spectators. On 2364, Paste, is represented, according to the catalogue, a Tallarius, (query, Talarius?) a dicer, laying his hand on a box; on 2365, Sard, a priest sacrificing, with a caducous and bough ; on 2367, Nicolo, a man offering a sacrifice, with a patera, on which is a butterfly, in one hand, while the other holds a fowl ; on 2369, Paste, a sacrifice of a hind before the statue of a god. On 2371, Paste, a Baccliic offering by two women with ia% a pitcher and swine before a temple on a pilaster, near the god pos- sibly a panther ; on 2372, Sard, two women engaged in setting up a Hermes and preparing to lay offerings on it; on 2374, Plasma, woman seated on a tripod, with a patera in her hand. 2378, Came- lian, an altar encircled by serpents, tree and wheat-ears. 2381, Paste, five youths riding as if from a Panathenaic procession. Of the subjects allusive to Gymnastics, we take notice of 2387, Carnelian, two wrestlers, an altar placed before a Hermes, in the background a Victory with a branch of palm; 2389, Carnelian, youths with palms, pilaster with target on it, an oblation dish on which are palm branches ; 2395, Paste, youths playing with a trochus ; 2398, Paste, juggler on one leg. Out of the groups of "Warriors, and the Armour, (2467 and following,) we select a silver ring of very antique style : warriors making an attack, on the re- verse, a charioteer; 2473, Onyx, warriors in coat of mail, standing with a sorrowful expression ; 2476, Sard, in a severe style, warriors alarmed; 2478, Nicolo, "Mars" leaning on a bearded Hermes; 2488, Jasper, a youth with a standard before a column on which is a " mask of terror," (Phobos ? Gorgoneion ? as on Roman coins,) whose face is concealed by the shield, holding a drawn sword in his right hand. 2490, Heliotrope, female torch-bearer, standing by a seated general, is worthy of notice, and may be compared with 2506, Plasma, where a woman is represented with a short dress and a mural crown, holding in one hand a torch turned down, and with the other touching a trophy, near which is the goddess of victory. In the Naval Department, (2518 and following) which is peculiar, we observe, ships with different equipments. Pretty is the effect of views of this kind with the sjonbols of a Cupid, 2520 ; and of a butterfly, 2525 ; as also of a fantastic ship com- bined with the images of a dolphin and other animals, 2527. A seaport, 2528, terminates this series. Next follow manifold figures and representations relating to the department of Reading and Thinking, which ordinary antiquarian usage is wont to class together in the category of philosophy. The figure of a philosopher reading, before whom stands a pilaster with three balls on it, 2530, an onyx, is a noble work of art. 2535 and 2538 are interesting on account of the subject, a philosopher seated before a lierme. On 2539 and 2541 arc different groupings with a human skeleton. On 2540 is a seated philosopher who takes hold of a skeleton, whose fleshless hand aims a dagger at his breast; a lyre on the seat. We also find at 2541 a seated philosopher clutching a skeleton near which is a butterfly, which subject is sup- posed to have reference to Plato's Pheedo. The representation of Artists which follows, (2542 and following,) exhibit a potter, (2542); chasers working at vases (2543 and 2544, on the latter is a small temple); 2545, Plasma, (Impr. delV Inst. IV. 75,) a sculptor model- ling a Avoman's head. The division relating to Theatricals, 2548-2550, and 2601-2673 is abundantly supplied with charming specimens. Of first-rate workmanship are two masks, the one comic, the other tragic, (2653, Carnelian, set in an antique gold ring). On account of its artistic peculiarity, 2548, Paste, deserves to be mentioned as being not only artificially made, but partly engraved, while, of the four united masks, the fourth is still incomplete; inscription, E L...N A. Well worth seeing, as double heads formed of paired masks, are 2617, 2619, 2620, &c. Names, probably those of the artists, are inscribed on 2651 and 2658. 2651, Sard, has on it a beautiful tragic mask accompanied by the inscription ^lo^upog, and 2658, a beautiful Sard, a woman sitting before a mask, and the inscription MvAuvog. We recognize dramatic scenery at 2659, a burnished stone in a very antique style, which exhibits a comic actor carrying on his shoulders a pole with two oil-cruises ; and at 2661, Paste, a comic actor with a similar pole and a vessel hanging on it. At 2662, Paste, appears a comic actor leaning on his crook, and a dog ; at 2665, Sard, two comic actors in conversation, and a child between them. The scenes of dramatic and other ancient entertainment, as depicted on 2666, a beautiful Camelian, are not at all uncommon ; we see here a young man looking intently at a mask lying on an altar wreathed with flowers ; close by are a half-moon and star. 2670, a company of actors. Excellent is 2672, Sard, a comic actor with a crook ; near him is a pillar with a mask. It is worth while to look at 2673, a Sard, representing Two Actors, one of whom, seated on an altar, plays on a lyre, the other, holding a crook, recites to him. The Vases beginning at 2674 are much deserving of notice. Some have a peculiar design, as with the first, Sard, XXI where a Hermes is used to set vases on. Of exquisite workman- ship are several vases with relievos, viz: 2677, Jasper, a beau- tiful drinking vessel, on which is a Cupid mounted on a sea-horse, and 2678, a Sard, on which are represented a Bacchante and two sphinxes. Among the pleasing representations of Emblematical Figures surrounding rings is to be noticed as particularly rich, 2696, a Carnelian, on which is a Victory, with the inscription M. Vakri, Q. F. The Miscellaneous Subjects, (2698 and following,) which are to be considered as a supplement to former series, contain a group, taken from the cycle of mystical ceremonies, assembled round a lustral basin, consisting of a woman with a thyrsus and snake, a youth with a mirror at which the snake is darting, and a Silenus, with a thyrsus, looking at the woman. The following deserve notice: 2701, Carnelian, a woman laying her dress against a mirror put up before her ; 2702, Carnelian, youth, on a ledge of a rock, holding a shield, opposite to him is a figure of the sun on a staff, a bird aloft ; 2703, Carnelian, woman gathering up the money lying on a table; 2705, a beautiful Sard with a rim, a man asleep with his head sink- ing down ; 2706, Paste, woman sitting thoughtful before an altar adorned with bacchic figures, whereon is a tripod; 2712, Paste in antique style, three men standing together; 2713, Plasma, Etrus- can style, youth holding a burning lamp and a hammer, a star above, with an inscription which may be read " IVFO " or ITP0, or even LVPO or STPO ; 2784, Paste, a naked Woman, holdmg a ring, and trying to catch a butterfly that flutters over a snake near a low altar; 2787, Sard, a Goddess, with a sceptre, seated between two he-goats (Aphrodite Epitragia?); 2789, Nicolo, Youth, with both his arms over his head, Cupid hands him a mirror; (in the catalogue he is marked as Adonis, his attitude puts one in mind of Death's: see Gerhard, Bildw. XCIII, 1, 3); 2791, Nicolo, Apollo, as supposed, in the company of a nymph; 2792, Nicolo, a sitting Apoxyomenos of beautiful workmanship; 2795, Sard, a youthful and bearded head, both covered with a modius, together with a lion's face and a Pan's head ; 2797, Jasper, Victories strewing with garlands a ridge (the sacred Mountain of Jupiter Kasios?) with the inscription 4>P0NIN0T, instead of Ofwv/^ou (not " pojx//xou "). Next comes an uncommonly well-stored collection of xxu the Figures of Animals, 2799 and following. First of all. Lions, as far as 2832, on no fewer than 35 gems ; then, a varied and mostly valuable selection, including Panther and Leopard, Rhinoceros and Elephant, Wolf, Bear and Wild Boar, Stag and Hare, Sheep, Goat and Ox; also, among representations of Horses, racers with inscriptions (2892, Tit. Sote. eis. ; Asph. l.) ; then. Ass, Dog, Squirrel ; Eagle (in honour of Rome on the Pastes, 2999, 3000); Ostrich, Stork, Peacock, Parrot, Raven, Owl, Cock (ad- miring himself, 3025), Dove, Goose, Frog, Lizard, Insects. From 3047 to 3065, all kinds of fantastic and fabulous animals, as 3062 Jasper, a Nautilus, from which a fisherman alights, with the inscrip- tion KAauJ/ou n^oxAou. Lastly, come Pygmies, 3066-3068. There is, from 3069 to 3102, a charming Collection of Stones, many set as rings, covered with characters which enhance their value. We give a summary of them, without pretending to an overscrupulous attention to accuracy. First come the Greek mottoes : o6 (p/ASJ ju.*) 'ttKccvm, vow Jf (ev) ncti ysXSi (3069, Sardonyx), — Xeyovo-iv a ^iXovo-iv, Xeyiru(Tav, ov (juiKsi [loi (3070, Sardonyx, also known elsewhere), — "Erpxroviyivi fj^iarjovffct Qiopsia, or ^o^eTci, ef (3071, Chalcedony); fUTK^iSf Tw CpopoOvT/ (3072, Sardonyx).

XXIU \ Another important portion of the Collection of Gems remains to be noticed — THE ANTIQUE AND LATER CAMEOS. It is less easy to give from the catalogue a description of them than of the Intaglios; we have no copies of them, and the visits of our informant to this department, in consequence of the owner's kind offer of admission, were, for want of time, of too short duration, to allow him, at a subsequent period, to esti- mate them at their just value. To give an idea of the contents of this Department, it is sufficient to state that the number of Antique Cameos amounts to 218, among which are 108 on Mythological Subjects. Next to these come. Known and Unknown Roman Figures, among which are such as relate to Sacrifices, Masks, Helmets, Hands, Dice, Animals, and other subjects. By way of giving prominence to some of the specimens of this mag- nificent series, we name, first of all, though they are but fragments, Jupiter seated on his throne (125), and a Head of Juno (128), then Latona, with her children, fleeing from Pytho, (130); Medusa Heads, from 137 to 140 and 310 to 313; Venus sitting (316); Venus bathing, while Cupid is near (317); Cupid looking out of a Silenus' mask (328); Phoebus Head (533); Mercury (541); a half- length Hygeia (543) ; Infant Bacchus riding on a panther, with an unexplained inscription given as TATOCO (query, Taup . . ?) (548) ; Bacchus embracing a " Nymph," or Ariadne (550) : Ariadne, with grapes, riding on a goat (553) : and similar objects, with a head of Augustus on the reverse of 769, by a later hand ; Satyr's Head (563); Dancing Bacchantes (767); the Goddess of Victory on a biga at full speed (771): the Goddess of Victory on a quadriga, on which are an eagle and the arm of a Roman warrior (776): Heads of Augustus (957 to 959); of Julia (960 to 965); Livia, as Ceres (963), and, as Juno (964); lastly. Lion lying down (1619). A work of peculiar arib is the cameo in the shape of a shield, made of green painted glass, with transparent silver leaf, which came originally from Pompeii (1172); in the middle is a well-executed Head of a helmeted Warrior. The more modern Cameos embrace the work of the most cele- brated Artists, including Vicentini, Santarelli, Brown, Morelli, Pichler, Pistrucci, and others. XXIV In the preceding pages we have given the Notice by the learned Gerhard of this truly Magnificent Collection of Gems, the finest, as far as their intrinsic merit as Works of Art and of Historical Records, ever ofi'ered for public competition. M. Gerhard follows his most interesting account of the Gems with a brief description of the Marbles, Bronzes, Fictile Vases, and other portions of the Collection of Antiquities formed by Mr. Hertz, as enumerated in the Catalogue issued by him in 1851. That portion of the Collection, however, has undergone a con- siderable change since that period. The public will recollect that a few years since we sold a portion of the General Collection of Antiquities formed by Mr. Hertz, and that among those were many of the Marbles and a great variety of Objects in Bronze. They were sold with the view of weeding the present Collection of the less interesting portion of the latter and the most cumbrous of the former : so likewise in respect to the Greek Vases and Terra Cottas. While, however, Mr. Hertz reduced, numerically, his Collection, he enriched it with many very important Antiquities ; adding more than double the number of pieces to the Greek and Etruscan Orna- ments in Gold ; above seventy important Greek Vases, many with inscriptions; very many exquisitely beautiful specimens of Greek and Roman Glass ; and, among various other Objects of Antiquity, the Five Magnificent Chinese Bronzes brought to this country by Major Edie and exhibited at the Crystal Palace in 1851, and since at the Crystal Palace at Norwood.

Statue of young Mars ; he wears a helmet ; his lifted right hand reposed on the lance, which is now wanting ; and his left hand holds the parazonium. This figure, which, in point of com- position and execution, may rank with the finest monuments, deserves attentive consideration, even in its details. The slender legs, curved in beautiful lines, form a support, upon which the upper body rests with dignified gracefulness. The muscles of the body are sharply defined, yet delicately rounded by that softness of form peculiar to statues of Mars. Finally, the arms, and the weapons that rest in them, complete the expression of the whole, the effect of which is the greater, the more clearly we perceive the artist's intention to depict the God of War in all the grandeur of his divinity. The eyes were formerly of silver. The patina is very beautiful 9 J in. h. VENUS.

XLVI. 1.), with the words : " Castor e PoUuxe amorevolmente abbracciati da un' altra figura d'ignoto nome." Gerhard (Etruscan Mirrors, I. 56. I ) recognizes in these figures Cabiric deities, in the presence of Minerva, and Venus with the Cista mystica. According to the Etruscan inscriptions engraved above the different figures, the following is the subject of the composition upon this mirror: Chalueasa, "the brazen," (Tales) beardless, leans upon Kasutru (Castor), ■whom he encircles with his left arm, and upon Palututre (Pollux), around whom his right arm is entwined. He advances towards Minerva, who, helmeted, and armed with the lance, is glancing at Venus (Turan) ; the latter stands at the right extremity of the scene, in a stooping attitude, and has just opened a little box, probably to take medicaments from it. From the explanation of Panofka (Archfelog. Zeitung. Jahrg. IV. S. 317), it would appear, doubtless, that it is a representation of the death of Tales, for the Etruscan name Chalueasa, as a surname of Tales, signifies " Chalcas," miner; and his embracing the two Dioscuri, recalls his manner of receiving strangers. This mirror indisputably belongs to the most interesting compositions of this kind /<5V<> ^ 1017 FICTILE VASES FROM GREECE AND ITALY. Continued from "page 62. Apulian Amphora.

The lower body of the god is clad with the chiton. Opposite him stands Thetis ; her attitude is noble ; she holds her drooping peplos in her left hand, and is entreating the Lord of the Olympus to give weapons unto her son, Achilles. Seldom has an artist of the cinque-cento period so thoroughly entered into the spirit of antiquity, as the author of this work. In the attitude and the drapery of the two divinities, so truly an antique conception is displayed, as differs most widely from the manner in which antique subjects were treated by mediaeval glyptic artists.
