The inventive talents of Spanish painters have been of less value, comparatively, from their being more especially occupied on subjects of religion; the museum possesses, however, more than a third unconnected with this subject; fourteen represent battles, fifteen history or fiction, twenty-eight views of towns, harbours, gardens, and other landscapes, thir

teen of flowers, eight of fruits, fortytwo of hotels and inns, fifty-two portraits of well-known characters, and twenty-one of imaginary persons, half of whom are of a grotesque descrip

tion.

The rapid and successful movements of this museum will doubtless become an object to a numerous class of artists and amateurs, in whose minds it will facilitate the formation of new ideas, and to whom it will prove a store-house, from which the imaginative faculty will draw its materials.
