    is now offered to the English public. The ENTIRE sERIFs of FIFTY-TWO FRESCOES is here represented ;—a Selection only of Forty plates having been previously issued, The Work now offered in a complete form to the Public has been issued from the Press at various intervals, in Numbers containing Six Plates each. It was undertaken at first by James R. Hope Scott, Esq., D.C.L., .C., bu ithe Plates were from the beginning prepared under the superintendence of Professor Gruner. . Mr. Hope Scott, however, did not carry the Work further than the first five Numbers, and it was then taken up, and is now brought to a conclusion, by Mr. Gruner alone. & The Prints have been prepared under Mr. Gruner’s superintendence by Sigr. N. Consoni, one of the most distinguished draughtsmen in Rome, and no pains have been spared to exhibit in them the grand simplicity of the Originals. The large size of the Plates has enabled the Artist to give the broad outlines of the Originals without omitting the finer lines which so peculiarly characterize them. The Prints have been lithographed, in such a style, however, as to resemble Engravings on wood, in order to avoid the greatly increased expense which the latter would have involved ; but any disadvantages connected with this have been more than counterbalanced by the greater power which, on the plan adopted, the Artist has been enabled himself to exercise over the Plates.
