to his Disciples after his resurrection, by Jordeans, of Antwerp; Moses striking the Rock, by the same Artist; the Marquis of Granby relieving the sick Soldier, by Penny; a fine Claude; very fine and correct copies of Raphael's celebrated Cartoons (seven in number) presented to the University by the late Duke of Marlborough, which are at present on the north side of the gallery, where they stand in the following order;-Christ's Charge to his Apostles; the Miraculous Draught of Fishes; the Death of Ananias; Paul preaching at Athens; Elymas, the Sorcerer, struck blind; the Sacrifice to Paul and Barnabas, and Peter and John healing the Cripples at the Beautiful Gate. In the centre of the east side is a very fine statue of William Earl of Pembroke, in brass, designed by Rubens, and cast by Hubert le Soeur, who did the equestrian statue of Charles I., at Charing Cross. In different parts of the gallery are placed a few busts, some of which are much admired. The cases contain books belonging to the Bodleian Library.—The north and south sides are 129 feet long, and 241 broad; the east side 158 feet by 243. Pictures, &c. on the Staircase. A Bust of Sir Thomas Bodley Cardinal Langton (Archbi shop of Canterbury) producing to the Barons, and the rest of the Assembly, at St. Edmund's Bury, the Charter granted by Henry 1. on which is founded the Liberty of the British Con- Sir Martin Frobisher A South Prospect of Oxford THE ARUNDEL MARBLES are on the north-side of the square of the Schools; these were given to the University by the Duke of Norfolk, then Lord Howard, in 1677. Of these marbles we have been favoured with the following account, given by the late Rev. John Price, many years head Librarian of the Bodleian Library, to Mr. Cowderoy, who shews the Picture Gallery and Library : "Thomas, Earl of Arundel and Surry, Lord Marshal of England, sent William Petty into Asia, to search for some curious monuments of antiquity, where he bought those which we call the Arundel Marbles, of a Turk, who had taken them from a learned man, sent by the famous Peiresc into Greece and Asia, upon the same design. These precious Marbles were placed in the Earl's house and gardens, upon the banks of the Thames. Selden wrote a book of what they contained in 1629, which has been a great help to D. Petau, Saumaise, Vossius, and several learned men, in their works. These ancient Marbles discover several things, both concerning the history and chronology of the Greeks. Amongst the epochas, marked in them, there are three very particular, viz. the 9th, which they reckoned from the arrival of the first ship out of Egypt into Greece, and 1512 years before the birth of Christ; the 12th, which they counted from the time that Ceres came to Athens, in Erechtheus's reign; and the 40th, from the day that comedies began to be acted at Athens, according to Susarion's invention. Another of these Marbles shews what gave occasion to the Fable of the Centaurs, viz. hunting the wild Bull, first invented by the Thessalians: they also furnish us with several other curious observations, as that the custom of burning bodies was laid aside in Macrobius's time; and that none but emperors, yestals, and men of special note, were suffered to have their tombs within the walls of Rome." Here are also the antique Marbles given by the executors of the learned Selden. Opposite the entrance to the Bodleian is the Logic and Moral Philosophy School, which contains the marbles, statues, busts, &c. presented to the University in 1755, by the Countess Dowager of Pomfret, of which the following is a list :POMFRET STATUES. 1 A Grecian Lady 2 Archimedes 3 A Roman Emperor 5 A Roman Emperor F 9 Sabina 10 A Venus de Medicis 14 A Roman Altar 20 Statue of a young Dacian 21 A Roman Altar 22 Antinous 23 A Grecian Lady 24 Jupiter and Leda 25 An antique Capital 26 Acircular Pedestal,finely ornamented with heads and festoons of fruit 27 Scipio Africanus, or Demosthenes 28 A Woman, clothed 29 A trunk of a Woman 30 A Boy with his finger in his mouth 31 Jupiter sitting 32 A Woman 33 The trunk of a Woman 34 Germanicus's Tomb 35 Two Capitals with beasts' heads 36 An Egyptian Chair 37 A Stone carved with a claw at the end 38 A Roman Consul 39 A Woman 40 Flora 41 Hercules 42 Diana 43 A Hymen leaning on his torch 44 A Venus 45 A circular Altar 51 A Grecian Philosopher 52 A Roman Altar 53 Caius Marius 54 A Bacchus 55 A Roman Altar 56 Julia 57 A Roman Fathom 58 A Sphynx 59 Ditto 60 A Sacrifice 61 A basso relievo of a Da cian's Sacrifice 62 A part of a Sacrifice 63 A naked trunk of an Hermaphrodite 64 Basso relievo 65 Basso relievo of a Shepherd 66 A Bacchanalian 77 Part of a Head and Neck 87 An Alabaster Urn 88 A Sarcophagus 89 Statue of Judith 90 A ditto of Hercules choking a Lion 91 A Sarcophagus,withBoys 92 A Sea Lion 93 Dogs and a Boar 94 A sleeping Cupid 95 A Sarcophagus 96 A basso relievo Roman Repast 97 A trunk of a Woman 98 Soldiers fighting 99 Ditto 100 A trunk of a young Man 101 The Triumph of Amphitryon 102 A trunk of a Woman 107 A Woman and a Child 108 A Roman Monument, with three busts 109 Part of a Roman Monuiment 110 Ditto 123 Ditto of one of her sons 124 A Bust of Venus de Medicis 125 Ditto of a Woman 126 A Bust, clothed 111 Bust of a Roman Head 127 Ditto 112 Ditto 113 A Roman Bust 114 A Bust of Fauna 115 Ditto of Faunus 116 The Bust of a young 117 A Bust of Diana 128 Ditto. 129 Ditto 130 A Bust, naked 134 Do. (modern) of Rob. C. 135 A Colossal Head of Apollo Opposite to the gateway of five Orders, is the entrance to the DIVINITY SCHOOL. This fine room was completed in 1480; it displays an example of rich Gothic masonry that has few rivals. Sir Christopher Wren was employed, in the beginning of the last century, to repair and restore its splendid stone roof; and he executed the work with that skill and judgment which distinguished all his undertakings. In this School are still performed the exercises for the degrees of Bachelor and Doctor in Divinity. It is divided by a carved railing into two parts, in the upper of which is an elevated pulpit for the Professor, desks for disputants, &c. The lower part is appointed for the audience.
