in the British Museum

eighty-four plates, about one half of which are from the best drawings of Michael Angelo and Raffaelle. This collection of drawings Mr. Ottley subsequently parted with to his friend Sir Thomas Lawrence for 8000/.His collection of engravings, which he continued to enrich with fresh acqu  Moncler jackets sale  isitions up to within a very few years of his death, is supposed to be one of the most complete and best sel ghd ected in Europe. It is well known that Mr. Ottley never stood at trifles when he was bidding for a scarce specimen or a choice impression, which he always did in person, and not by commission, as has since become the fashion; and his presence on such occasions, together with that of a few of his brother collectors, used to give a zest and stimulus to the business of the auction room, which subsequently it has too often wanted.As a co Ghd Straighteners ntributor to the literature of his country, Mr. Ottley is justly entitled to a high character as an in ghd iv styler  dustrious, an independent, and, we fear, often to his cost, a disinterested writer. His " Italian School of Design" we have already mentioned ; his other principal works are, the companion-work of the "Florentine School" (1826); the "Origin and  Moncler jackets Early History of Engraving" (2 v moncler sale ols. 1826), a work well known to all contempor moncler  ary bibliographers ; " the Stafford Gallery ;" " the Critical Catalogue of the National Gallery;" and the first part of an elaborate " Dictionary of Engravers" (8vo. 1831), for which he had for thirty years been collecting materials, but from the labours of compiling which he was obliged to desist when undertaken at a later period of life; besides various contributions to Rees' Cyclopaedia, the Archaeologia, and other miscellaneous productions. We must not omit noticing, amongst these, a pap Ghd Hair Straighteners  er addressed to the Society of Antiquaries (of which he was an old member and one of the council), being a dissertation on a M.S. of Aratus, in the British Museum, which was supposed to have been written in the tenth or twelfth century, but which Mr. Ottley, by a chain of ingenious and erudite argument, which we cannot attempt coat moncler coats to follow here, showed to have belonge Hair Straighteners d to the third century, if not earlier; a circumstance which, of course, added much to the value of this interesting relic. The last work in which he was engaged, and which, within the last few sheets, he lived to see through the press, was a controversial essay on the conflicting claims of Haarl Moncler jackets Men em and Mentz to the honour of the first use of moveable types ; a work in which we believe Mr. Ottley's indefatigable and adventurous spirit of research called to his aid some materials of a rather novel description. This work, it is expected, will speedily appear.
