CATALOGUE OF SCULPTURE.
J. P. Gandy Deering (1787-1850), an architect who had
taken part in the Dilettanti Expedition to Ionia of 1811,
presented sculptures that he had discovered at Ehamnus
in Attica.1 In 1839, Colonel W. M. Leake, an eminent
traveller and topographer (1777-1860), presented several
Greek sculptures.2 A small collection of reliefs, and of
architectural fragments from Athens and elsewhere, was
purchased from H. W. In wood, the author of a treatise on
the Erechtheion.
In 1861, the fifth Earl of Aberdeen presented a collection
which had been formed in Greece in 1801 by George,
fourth Earl of Aberdeen, a connoisseur, known to his
contemporaries as " Athenian Aberdeen."3 In 1864 a
collection of sculptures was purchased which had been
formed by Percy Clinton Sydney Smythe, sixth Viscount
Strangford (1783-1855), formerly Ambassador to the
Porte, and which included the " Strangford Apollo." 4
Amongst purchases that have taken place from time to
time we may also mention that of the Apollo 5 from the
collection of the Comte de Choiseul-Gouffier in 1818. In
1864 several Grajco-Eoman sculptures6 were purchased
from the Farnese Collection at Eome. The museum of
the Due de Blacas, purchased in 1867, contained the head
of Asclepics from Melos, and the relief discovered at the
same time.7 For the numerous cases not here mentioned
in which sculptures have been acquired by donotion
or bequest, the reader is referred to the pages of the
catalogue.
