 The following drawings were bound in four volumes, bearing the arms of 
 the Venetian noble family of Sagredo. They had been bought from the 
 family Buonfiglio of Bologna, by Procurator Sagredo in 1734. In 1763 
 Consul Udney bought the volumes in Venice from the heirs of the Procurator 
 and brought them over to England. In the third volume of the " Letters 
 Pittoriche " there is a letter from Zanetti to Professor Garburi at Florence, 
 making particular mention of Sagredo's purchase. The volumes were broken 
 up for the purpose of the sale.
