SAMUEL P. AVERY, in anticipation of certain changes in his 
 business, and intending hereafter to devote himself to the importa¬ 
 tion and sale of Works of Art of the highest class only, has determined 
 to make a Public Exhibition and Sale of his entire collection of 
 exclusively foreign paintings. 
 
 They number nearly One Hundred, and include good examples of 
 the French. Belgian, German, Spanish, and Italian Schools. He will 
 not attempt to praise these works, they will be judged upon their 
 merits. But it may not be improper to state that every Painting is 
 his property, nothing has been added from outside sources, they were 
 either painted expressly to his order, or selected by him in Europe; 
 they have never been in other hands, neither have they been offered 
 at auction or ever exposed for sale except in his private rooms. Many 
 of them are the latest works of the Artists, and therefore they are to 
 the public essentially a new collection. 
 
 In consideration of the precarious chances, at this time, of an 
 Auction honestly conducted, Mr. Avery reserves to himself the right 
 to put a reservation upon a few important works, or to withdraw 
 them at the sale, should no bid be made approximating to their first 
 cost. But the greater part will be put up in good faith, without any 
 reserve, with a full reliance upon the appreciation and support of a 
 generous public. 
 
 ALL PURCnASES WILL BE DELIVERED IN THE CITY 
 FREE OF CHARGE.
