regard to the reproductions which illustrate this quarters at Volendam, with the object of

the case had I not found
in Mr. Weber's collec-

but a sufficient variety
of theme and period to
be generally representa-

go elsewhere I think I
should have been advised
to knock as lustily as
possible at the doors of
Sir Thomas Devitt and
of Mr. Sidney Morse. I
should have asked them
then, undoubtedly—the}'
or the Messrs. Leggatt—
to come to my relief, and
should have had full con-
fidence in their capacity
to do so.

also belonging to Mr.
