Catalogue of Pictures.

—Some information is requested of an octavo volume of 252 pages, being a catalogue of a collection of pictures consigned to Mr. Samuel Pawson, wine merchant in Cecil Street, Strand, without date or name, or residence of printer; it contains succinct annotations "of the several masters whose performances are herewith exhibited." These are very curious, and the prices affixed to each picture (800 in number), as added together by some possessor of the volume, amount to 55,379l. It appears to have been highly esteemed; and, amongst other autographs, has "J. P. Roberts, Kingsgate;" "J. P. Powell, Quex park."
