endeavoured to procure before it left Rome. It
was afterwards sent by the Prince Justiniani him-
self, with the whole of his collection, to Paris;
and Mr. Delahante succeeded in obtaining its
separation from that collection, and sold it to the
late Mr. Harris of Bond-street, who again sold it
to Mr. Hart Davis for a very large sum.

or Kermess.
