Smith, John: A catalogue raisonné of the works of the most eminent Dutch, Flemish, and French painters: in which is included a short biographical notice of the artists, with a copious description of their principal pictures : a statement of the prices at which such pictures have been sold at public sales on the continent and in England; a reference the the galleries and private collections in which a large portion are at present; and the names of the artists by whom they have been engraved; to which is added, a brief notice of the scholars & imitators of the great masters of the above schools (Band 9): Supplement (London: Smith and Son, 1842)

sight of pictures in their possession ; and in no
instance has such application been in vain. The
recollection of these acts of kindness is the more
gratifying, as they evince the confidence reposed in
the integrity of the author.

NOTE.
The terms right and lest employed in the work refer to
the picture, and not the spectator,—a system the writer was
induced to adopt in imitation of the best writers of the French
catalogues of pictures ; but neither this, nor the sizes given, are
wholly free from errors, as the descriptions were in a few instances
borrowed from prints, and the measures taken from pictures in
their frames.
The first figures in the sizes given denote the height of the
picture, and the second the width of it.

No. 10, Gonzales Coques, page 585, has been erroneously
printed as in the Collection of Edmund Higginson, Esq. The
picture was sold by Messrs. Smith to the Right Hon. Lord North-
wick in 1841.
