Devonshire House, in Piccadilly, is the residence of his Grace the Duke of Devonshire when in London. The house is built principally of brick, and though plain is very elegant and well proportioned, and the rooms of state are very rich and magnificent. The offices on each side are properly subordinate to the house, so as to make a consistent whole. The collection of pictures, with which this house is adorned, is surpassed by very few either at home or abroad; of which the following is an exact list.

Moses and the burning bush, Jac. Bassan. Landscape, Claude Lorrain.
An historical subject, Paul Veronese.
Moses in the bullrushes, Van Dyck.
Wise men offering, P. Veronese.
