ABSTRACT
An invitation to attend the meeting of the Archaeological Society in Edinburgh, in 1856, led the author to visit this beautiful city for the second time, when the impression it made upon him was quite as great as at first, a sure sign that its beauties are of no ordinary kind. Meanwhile a grand and appropriate museum has been raised on the mound behind the Royal Institution for the reception of objects of art, in the apartments of which, lighted from above, the temporary but rich and interesting Archaeological Exhibition was held. As respects pictures, one important acquisition has been made in a specimen of that great and rare master Licinio Regillo, called IlPordenone, the rival of Titian. It is a picture of considerable size, representing the Adoration of the Kings, and was formerly in Edinburgh, in the collection of Lord Eldin.
