Moses laid in the flags by the river's brink.' Small Engraving, of exquisite delicacy and finish. The figure of the mother, fainting and falling back from the little ark, is very beautiful. In the background are pyramids, a sphinx, and river winding down the land-a grand yet sweet ideal of Ancient Egypt. 4 x 3 in.

Drowned figures, Man and Woman, lying on rocks by the sea. Enormous eagles soaring above. Engraved after the fashion of wood-cutting on metal.' Very fine. 5× 4 in.

Adam and Eve. Subject looking at first like the Finding the Body of Abel. Adam and Eve stand in impassioned sorrow over a youthful figure-not dead, however, but manacled by the wrists and ankles to the ročky ground-who turns his eyes upon them. A sort of St. Peter's Dome appears in the distance. The design is probably intended for a prophetic symbol of the Atonement. The heads of Adam and Eve are each encircled by a nimbus. On the background is inscribed, Type by W. Blake, 1817.' Very similar to the headpiece of the America. 4 x 3 in.

Group of Figures on the edge of a rock by the sea, gazing, as appears, on some awful or supernatural spectacle in the clouds and waters; roughly etched, in the same method as the preceding. A most impressive, indeed appallingly suggestive composition. 11 × 8 in. .

Figure, with a glory, standing before a rising or setting sun or globe.

Mirth and her attendant Spirits. Milton's Allegro. Engraved

from the first Design of the series for the Allegro and Penseroso. Rather small. P. 246, List I. No. 231A, Vol. II. . Death's Door. For the Grave.

monument.

Seventeen Woodcuts to Thornton's Virgil. 1820
Sweeping the Interpreter's House, from the Pilgrim's Progress.
The man who sweeps the parlour is here a demon-like figure,
with strong spiny wings, and the dust he raises is filled with
numerous insect-like spirits. A graceful angelic figure brings

the water in a bowl. Example of Blake's 'wood-cutting on copper,' very painter-like in treatment and effect; of signal richness and beauty.
