Extract from the V^'il! of Edmond dc Ooncourt :

{IVans.)

"My wish is that my Drawings, my Prints, my Curiosities,

my Books—in a word these things of art which have been

the joy of my life—shall not be consigned to the cold tomb

of a museum, and subjected to the stupid glance of the

careless passer-by ; but I require that they shall all be

dispersed under the hammer of the Auctioneer, so that the

pleasure which the acquiring of each one of them has given

me shall be given again, in each case, to some inheritor of

my own tastes."
