Religious work by Goya - exhibition title
From a list of exhibitions in which the painting Diphtheria by Goya has appeared:
Notice des tableaux de la Galerie Espagnole exposés dans les salles du Musée Royal au Louvre, Galerie Louise Philippe, París, 1838.
I don't usually deal with French, so apologies if this is a simple question. Would this be the exhibition catalogue, rather than anything else? It is curious, because the above entry appears in the "Exhibitions" section of the entry rather than in the Bibliography (from a complete catalogue of Goya works).
UK Eng please. Thanks in advance.

Record of the paintings
This is a historical account of paintings from a particular collection or exhibition. It is not the same thing as a catalogue. I think it would be referred to as a record or historic account. It gives information about the paintings, their provenance and different owners.
See for instance:
Notice historique et descriptive des tableaux et des sculptures exposés dans le Musée royal de La Haye.

: yeah, record would be more apt in a modern context, 'notice' from the old French use of the word to mean a short catalogue or publication.

Exhibition of the paintings
"Notice" is a very odd word to use for "exhibition" though. I am pretty sure this is what it means in this specific instance.
Notice des tableaux de la Galerie Espagnole exposés dans les salles du Musée Royal au Louvre, Galerie Louise Philippe, Paris, 1838
=
Exhibition of the paintings from the Galerie Espagnole exhibited in the rooms of the Musée Royal au Louvre, Galerie Louise Philippe, Paris, 1838

brochure, circular, handbill
Very likely this is a small printed document given to exhibition visitors.

Descriptive catalogue of (the) paintings…
Something akin to a modern "exhibition checklist", except that it has descriptions rather than reproductions.
Don't know why it's in the exhibition section though, unless an exhibition was based on that particular catalogue, which seems unlikely.
examples:
The Descriptive Catalogue of Paintings in the Gallery of Daniel Pratt, published in 1853, describes, in addition to the interior of St. Peter's paintings of historical subjects like the Landing of Cleopatra and Landing of Columbus, romantic landscapes including the Falls of Niagara, the Natural Bridge, Virginia, and Naples, and portraits of such prominent figures as George Washington and Henry Clay.

W. H. J. Weale and Jean Paul Richter. A Descriptive Catalogue of the Collection of Pictures Belonging to the Earl of Northbrook. London, 1889, pp. 182–83, no. 237, cites it in the collection of the Earl of Northbrook; transcribes the date as 1643.

catalogue
That particular exhibition was special:
"Unquestionably, the key event in the surge of Hispanism in France was the 1838 opening of King Louis-Philippe d’Orléans’s Galerie Espagnole in the Louvre. Orchestrated by Baron Taylor, the Spanish Gallery assembled 400 paintings, from late sixteenth-century works by El Greco and Morales to masterpieces by Zurbarán and Murillo to major canvases by Goya, to become, in effect, a competitor with the Prado itself."
