' 'HRARY iii NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY. The National Portrait G-allery was founded in 1856, in pur- mance of a motion made by Earl Stanhope, P.S.A., in the Eonse of Lords on the 4th of March 1856. His Lordship had previously addressed a letter, of which the Tollowing is a draft, to H.R.H. the Prince Consort, announcing lis intention to invite public attention to the importance of ’orming a British Historical Portrait Gallery. “ Sir, Grosvenor Place, February 27, 1856. “ I. presume to send herewith to your Royal Highness the copy of a motion of which I gave notice last night in the House of Lords. It would he most especially gratifying to me if your Royal Highness should he inclined to feel atvy interest in the idea. ‘‘It seems tome that if a space were at once obtained, a yearly grant of 5001. in the estimates would suffi.ce. for pur- chases, and that the selection might he most properly confided to the present Fine Arts Commission, or any new commission over which your Royal Highness might he prevailed on to preside. “lam, ^c.” To this letter His Royal Highness was pleased to return the bllowing answer, dated Buckingham Palace, the same day. “ My Bear Lord Stanhope, “ I have to thanh you for your letter, and can only say that your scheme has my entire concurrence, and that I shall he ready to give it any assistance that may he thought advisable. “ Ever yours truly, “B.P.y,lS56. {Signed},. Albert." These letters, which were presented to the Gallery by Arthur, the present Earl Stanhope, in February 1879, have since been framed and, with Her Majesty’s sanction, exhibited to the ublic in connexion with the portrait of the Prince Consort, i 8G243. 5000.— 7/9G. Wt. 24790. A 2 iv The motion brought forward in the House of Lords receive^ the cordial support of the Marquess of Lansdowne, the Earl o Ellenborough, the Earl of Carnarvon, and many other peers and a resolution was passed in the following terms : — That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty| praying that Her Majesty will be graciously pleased tc take into Her Eoj’^al Consideration the expediency o| forming a Gallery of the Portraits of the most eminent Persons in British history. | The Address having been duly presented, the proposal re* ceived the full sanction of the Crown, and was carried intq effect by the House of Commons, when the Governmeu| proposed a grant of 2,000Z. for the ensuing year, which waa voted by Parliament 6th June 1856. On 2nd December of th< same year a Board of Trustees was appointed by Treasury Minute, and constituted as follows : — Tiiustees. The Lord President of the Council for the time being. The Marquess of Lansdowne. The Earl Stanhope. The Earl of Ellesmere. The Lord Elcho. The Eight Honourable Sidney Herbert. The Eight Honourable Benjamin Disraeli. The Lord Eobert Cecil. ITie Eight Honourable Thomas Babington Macaulay. Sir Francis Palgrave. Sir Charles Eastlake, President of the Eoyal Academy. William Smith, Esq. William Hookham Carpenter, Esq. The following passages from the Parliamentary Debate upoi the formation of a Gallery of British Historical Portraits, whicl took place in the House of Lords, Tuesday, March 4th, 1856 have been selected for permanent record : — “ Earl Stanhope attached the greatest importance to th authoritative power of refusal, and believed the whole succesi of the undertaking vjoidd depend upon the proper exercise oj that power ; for if they admitted into a national collectioi portraits of those who possessed no adequate claim to suc^ honour, the inevitable consequence would he that the Galleim would he deprived of all the distinction which he wished tc see attached to it. V “ There ought not to le in this collection a single portrait as to which a man of good education passing round and seeing the name in the catalogue, would be under the necessity of ashing, ‘ Who is he ? ’ Such a question ought to he decisive against the admission of the portrait. “ The success of the whole scheme depended on confining the Gallery to men of real distinction, of real fame. “ The Earl oe Ellenbokough observed that if the manage- ment studiously and carefully endeavour to secure the exclusion of all unworthy persons, and of all who from accident or the exaggerated opinion of contemporaries may have gained admission to it, it will be an object of emulation to all, and will be, in fact, a gallery of the I portraits of those who in all ages have deserved best of their r country.’^ Temporary apartments for the reception of the pictures and ansaction of business were provided at 29, Great George ■ reet, Westminster. As soon as the number of pictures counted to 56, it was determined to afford the public an portunity of seeing what progress had been made, and the corns were opened to holders of tickets, easily procurable, on Wednesday and Saturday in each week. The first day of peningwas the 16th January 1859. During the Easter holidays a the following year, the restriction of procuring tickets was uspended, and, from June 1865, the public entered without imitation during three days in the week. At the close of the year 1869, when the number of portraits mounted to 288, the Collection, pending the construction of a iuilding expressly adapted for the purpose, was removed by the first Commissioner of H.M. Works, under authority of the "reasury, to the eastern portion of the Long Building at South [Kensington, which during the great exhibition of 1862 had ormed the southern boundary of the Horticultural Garden , n this provisional building the Gallery remained! till *tne Lutumn of 1885. After an outbreak of fire at the South Kensington International Exhibition, in close proximity to the galleries occupied by the National Portraits, June 12th, 1885, the Government determined ipon the removal of the collection to a place of greater security, aid the first Commissioner of H.M. Office of Works stated in the louse of Commons, July 20th, that arrangements were being nade for the transfer of the collection on loan to the Bethnal Ireen Museum for a limited period. The Gallery at South Kensington was closed to the public on he 1st of September, and the Collection was shown to the public lewly arranged in the Bethnal Green Museum on the 22nd of Ictober 1885. VI Temporary apartments for tlie transaction of business and the reception of new acquisitions were provided at 20, Great George Street, Westminster. As no further arrangements were made; to transfer the Collection from' the Bethnal Green Museum to any permanent home in the West End of London, the number of acquisitions soon prbved too large to allow of their being all accommodated at 20, Great George Street, Westminster, and several portraits had to be deposited in the National Gallery. j In May, 1889, William Henry Alexander, Esq., of Shipton, Andover, Hants, made an offer to H. M. G-overnment to build a National Portrait Gallery at his own expense, pi'ovided that H. M. Government, would afford a site for it within a distance of IJ miles from St. James’ Street. In response to this munificent offer, H. M. Government offered to Mr. Alexander a site immediately at the back of and contiguous to the National Gallery. This site was accepted by Mr. Alexander, who appointed Mr. Ewan Christian to be the architect of the riew building. The new building was commenced in October, 1890, but was not ready for occupation until the spring of 1895. It was completed at a, cost of 96,000Z., of which sum Mr. Alexander provided 8O,OO0Z. and H. M. Government 16,000Z., to complete the east wing.' The oflices, temporarily located at 20, Great George Street, Westminster, Avere tiansferred to the new building in June, 1895, and the whole Collection of National Portraits was received into the new building during ttie same month from the Bethnal Green Museum, the temporary premises at 20, Great George Street, Westminster, and the National Gallery. The new National Portrait Gallery was opened to the public on Saturday, April 4th, 1896. j., March, 1896, Sir George Scharf, K.C.B., who had held the post ..rst of Keeper and Secretary, and latterly of Director, Keeper, and Secretary from the foundation of the Gallery, resigned his post through age and failing health, and was succeeded by Mr. Lionel Oust, M.A., F.S.A., formerly Aissistant in the Departnient of Prints and Drawings at the British. Museum. 982 Portraits (exclusive of engravings and autographs) were acquired during Sir George Scharf’s tenure of office. i; Vll GENERAL ARRANGEMENTS. Tho collectiou of National Portraits has been arranged as follows ; — On the TOP FLOOR the Portraits are arranged cheonologically as far as possible beginning in Rooms I. and II. at the N.W. angle of the building and ending in Room XI.

Each applicant for admission as a student is required to write a letter to the Secretary, giving the name and address of a Referee resident in London. 2. Students of the Eoyal Academy, or of any Government School of Art, can obtain cards of admission upon the recom- mendation of the Keeper or Master of the academy or school in which they are working. 3. A card of admission will be available for six months from the date of issue, unless it is for any special reason withdrawn by authority. On the expiration of six months, or if lost or mislaid, it must be renewed by a fresh application for admission under the foregoing rules. 4. Students attending at the Gallery on Thursdays and Fridays are required to show their admission cards and^sign their names in a book kept for that purpose in the Entrance Hall. 5. Owing to the limited size of the galleries only one person at a time can be permitted to copy any portrait on such a scale as to require an easel. 6. Under no circumstances will a student be allowed to touch the surface of a picture or work of sculpture, and the Curator in charge will be strictly enjoined to enforce this rule, and to see that the seats, easels, &c. of students are kept at a sufficient distance from the pictures. 7. Glass cannot be removed from a picture, or a picture taken down from the walls without special permission from the Director or the Officer in charge. 8. Students will be required to enter in a book, which will be kept for the purpose in the Gallery, the name of the portrait which they wish to copy, and the length of time which in their estimation it will take them to copy it. X 9. Should more than one student be desirous of copying the same picture, they must do so in the order in which their names stand in the application book. On the expiration of the time originally estimated for by a student in copying a portrait, the next student on the list will be entitled to comtnence copying that ptortrait, but a student may obtain extension of time upon applying to the Secretary. 10. Should a student engaged in copying a portrait be absent on any Thursday or Friday up to 1 p.m., without giving notice, the next student on the list for copying the same portrait will be entitled to commence work and to continue until the copy is completed.

In the event of a portrait, which a student is copying, being required for photography or any other purpose, the student will, as far as possible, receive due notice of the fact beforehand. 16. In consequence of the limited size of many of the galleries, and the small size of many of the portraits exhibited, students are expected to arrange their easels, stools, &c., so as to give as little inconvenience as possible to the public or to any other student, who may be copying a neighboui'ing portrait. 17. In the Galleries where there are bays formed by projecting screens, not more than two persons with easels can be permitted to work at the same time. XI RULES WHICH TIIH TRUSTEES HAVE ADOPTED FOR THEIR GUIDANCE. 1. The rule which the Trustees desire to lay down to them- selves iu either making purchases or receiving presents, is to look to the celebrity of the person represented rather than to the merit of the artist. They will attempt to estimate that celebrity without any bias to any political or religious party. Nor will they consider great faults and errors, even though admitted on all sides, as any sufficient ground for excluding any portrait which may be valuable as illustrating the civil, ecclesiastical, or literary history of the country. 2. No portrait of any person still living, except only of the reigning sovereign, and of his or her consort, shall be admitted. But this rule is not to be considered as applying to portraits of persons, some living and some deceased, in a group or series comprised in the same picture, and combined for one common object. 3. No portrait of any person deceased less than ten years shall be admitted, if so many as three of the Trustees shall personally, if present at the meeting,- or within one fortnight by letter, state their dissent. 4. No portrait shall be admitted by donation, unless three- fourths, at least, of the Trustees present at a meeting shall approve it. 5. No modern copy of an original portrait shall be admitted. xii CONSECUTIVE LIST OE THE TRUSTEES, From the Foundation of the Gallery to the Presen Time. Date of Appointment.

It is impossible for me to conceive a work which ought to be more interesting to the present age than that which exhibits before our eyes our “fathers as they lived,” accompanied with such memorials of their lives and characters as enable us to compare their persons and comltenances with their sentiments and actions. I will enlarge no more upon the topic, because I am certain that it requires not the voice of an obscure individual to point out to the British public the merits of a Collection, which at once satisfies the imagination and the understanding, shewing us by the pencil how the most distinguished of our ancestors looked, moved, and dressed ; and informs us by the pen how they thought, acted, lived, and died. — Letter from Sir Walter .Scott, Abbotsford, 2bth March, 1828, on the ap 2 >earance of Lodge's Portraits of Illustrious Personages of Great Britain. I have observed that a reader seldom peruses a book with pleasure till he knows whether the writer of it be a black or a fair man, of a mild or choleric disposition, married or a bachelor ; with other particulars of a like nature, that conduce very much to the right understanding of an author.— ylddison. First lines of the Spectator. Painting gives us not only the Persons, but the Characters of great men. The air of the Head and Mien in general, gives strong indications of the Mind, and illustrates what the Historian says more expressly and particularly. Let a man read a Character in my Lord Clarendon (and, certainly, never was there a better Painter in that kind) he will find it improved by seeing a Picture of the same Person by Van Dyck . — Jonathan B Ichardson, “ Essay on the Theory of Painting,” 1715. Our painters take no care to transmit to posterity the names of the persons wliom they represent ; through which negligence so many excellent pieces come after a while to be disjiersed XVI amongst brokers and upholsterers, who expose them to the streets in every dirty and infamous corner . — John Evelyn to Samuel Pepys, August 12th, 1689. We never read of the actions of any distinguished individual without feeling a desire to see a resemblance of his person. We often imagine that we can trace the character of the man in the expression of his countenance ; and we retain a more correct recollection of his actions by keeping in our minds a lively impression of his general appearance. — Governors of the British Institution in the preface to the Catalogue of their first exhihition of Historical Portraits, held in Pall Mall, 1820. In all my poor historical investigations it has been, and always is, one of the most primary wants to procure a bodily likeness of the personage inquired after, — a good portrait if such exists ; failing that, even an indifferent if sincere one. In short, any representation made by a faithful human creature of that face and figure which he saw with his eyes, and which I can never see with mine, is now valuable to me, and much better than none at all. It has always struck me that historical portrait galleries far transcend in worth all other kinds of national collections of pictures whatever ; that, in fact, they ought to exist in every country as among the most popular and cherished national possessions. Lord Chancellor Clarendon made a brave attempt in that kind for England, but his house and gallery fell asunder in a sad way . — Thomas Carlyle, quoted hy Earl Stanhope. When the world of pleasure palls, When a voice within thee calls To a larger, fuller life, Nobler aims, more worthy strife, Here, in such a pensive mood, Half-aspiring, half-subdued. Come with me and learn to trace All the glories of thy race — All that art and fame can give — Making bygone greatness live. — On the National Portrait Gallery. W. E. II. Lechy, Poems, 1891* I CATALOGUE. George Hamilton Gordon, eoerth Earl oe ABEEDEEN, K.G., P.S.A. 1784-1860. Painted in 1846 hij John Partridge. A distinguished statesman, diplomatist, scholar, and antiquary. He appears as “the trayell’d Thane, Athenian Aberdeen,” in Lord Byron’s “ English Bards and Scotch Reviewers.” In early life Lord Aberdeen spent much time in Greece and on his return founded the “Athenian Society.” He was Foreign Secretary in 1828 under the Duke of Wellington, and again in 1841 under Sir Robert Peel. In 1852 he formed a Coalition Ministry, with Lord John Russell as Foreign Secretary, the Duke of Newcastle as Secretary for War, and Mr. Gladstone as Chancellor of the Exchequer. During his Administration in March 1854 the Crimean war began. In the following year, on the secession of Lord JohnRusseil, the Government was defeated, and Lord Aberdeen resigned. Lord Aberdeen carried important measures for reform of the law, government of India, and extension of the principles of free trade. Presented, June 1886, by Henry Willett, Esq., of Brighton, (750.)

For other 'portraits see Collective Portraits, The Fine Arts Commission, page 465, and Patrons and Lovers of Art, page 467. Right Hon. Joseph ADDISON. 1672-1719. An old coinj from Sir Godfrey Kneller. Poet, statesman, and essayist. Son of Lancelot Addison, Dean of Lichfield. Born in Wiltshire ; educated at Charterhouse and Queen’s College, Oxford. Addressed some early verses to Dryden, and, under the patronage of Lord Halifax, travelled in Italy. Commemorated the victory of Blenheim, 1704, in a poem called “ The Campaign.” In 1709 he was appointed secretary to the Marquess of Wharton in Ireland, and in December of the same year was elected member for Malmesbury, a seat which he held to the end of bis life. At this period, in connexion with his i 86243. Ji 2 friends Steele and Swift, he began his famous writings in “The Tatler,” “ Spectator,” and “G-uardian.” His admired tragedy of “ Cato ” appeared in 1713. On the decease of Queen Anne in 1714, Addison served as secretary to the Lords Justices, pending the arrival of George T., by whom he was appointed one of the principal Secretaries of State. He died at Holland House, having married in 1716 the widow of Edward, Earl of Warwick. His body lay in state in the Jerusalem Chamber of Westminster Abbey, where he was buried. Lord Stanhope, in his History of England, observes, “ For ‘ ‘ graceful style, for polished satire, for delicate delineation of “ character, Addison has never been surpassed ; but on the stage “ of active politics he was scarce a match for the passionate “ ardour, the withering irony of Swift.” The best portrait of this type, and the undoubted original, was painted by Sir Grodfrey Kneller for Jacob Tonson, being one of the series known as the Kitcat Club. To the waist standing, face three-quarters to left. Purchased by the Trustees, March 1869. (283.) Dimensions. — 2 ft. 4 ins. by 2 ft. 2 ins. Anothek Portrait. Painted in 1719 hy Michael Dahl.

George Monck, Duke of xlLBBMAELE, K.G. 1608-1670. Painted hy Sir Peter Lely. General . Born at Potheridge in Devonshire. The son of Sir Thomas Monck.* At the age of 17 he served under his kinsman, Sir Eichard Grenville, in an expedition against Spain. After serving in ‘the Dutch army, he became lieutenant-colonel of a foot regiment in England. Having distinguished himself in suppressing the rebellion in Ireland he was appointed Governor of Dublin. Upon the failure of the Eoyalist cause, Monck accompanied Cromwell to Scotland, and took part in the battle of Dunbar. His talents for naval as well as military warfare were shown in his engagements with the Dutch, when, together with Admirals Blake and Deane, he overcame Van Tromp. The fame of General Monck, however, is chiefly founded on the part he played when at the head of the Scotch army. On the decline of the Protectorate he became for a time the arbiter of the kingdom’s destiny. His services towards the restoration of monarchy were rewarded with a dukedom and the Order of the Garter. In 1666 he again defeated the Dutch under their gallant Admiral de Euyter ; and at the period of the Plague in London, when the Court withdrew from the city, he had the honour to find the supreme direction of affairs entrusted to his hands. At his decease in 1670, he was interred with public honours in Westminster Abbey, the King himself being present at the funeral. Purchased by the Trustees, May 1876. (423.)

The following jrear Barry produced one of his best works, “ Venus rising from the Sea.” In 1773 he was elected E.A., and joined with several members of the Royal Academy in offering to decorate St. Paul’s with historical paintings. Upon the failure of this scheme, he engaged in 1777 to paint a series of pictures in the new building erected by the Society of Arts in the Adelphi. These works, which were of considerable magnitude, occupied him till 1788. Within 10 years from this period he completed a series of bold etchings from these compositions.

He visited Egypt to con- struct machinery near Cairo for purposes of irrigation. The British Consul, Mr. Salt, then employed him to remove the colossal bust, known as the young Memnon, which he did with great ingenuity, and it is now deposited in the British Museum. At the expense of Mr. Salt, Belzoni excavated the temple of Abu-Simbel, and opened the famous grotto-sepulchre of Seti I., which still bears the name of “ Belzoni,” and where he found the famous alabaster sarcophagus, now in Sir John Soane’s Museum. He prosecuted his researches with uniform success. On revisiting his native city in 1819, the Paduans struck a gold medal to commemorate his discoveries. In 1820 he published in London a napative of his “ Operations and Discoveries within ‘‘ the Pyramids, Temples, Tombs, and Excavations in Egypt and * This work excited considerable interest, and prepared the way for the later explorations of Bonomi, Wilkinson, and Mariette.

He was advanced to the office of Secretary of State, and, on the accession of Elizabeth, was also made Master of the Court of Wards. In maintaining his supremacy he was in constant rivalry with the Earl of Leicester. In 1571 Cecil was raised to the peerage by the title of Baron Burghley, and in the following year elected a Knight of the Garter, and succeeded the Marquess of Winchester as Lord High Treasurer. His sagacity in the conduct of business was equally shown in all branches of legislature- When ask(^ how he accomplished so much, he answered that “ the shortest way to do many things was by doing only one thing at a time.” After the discovery of Babington’s conspiracy Cecil never ceased to urge the necessity of the trial and execution of Mary Queen of Scots.

In 1766 he published his “ Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas on the Sublime and Beautiful,” which introduced him to the most eminent literary characters of the day .' Shortly after this Mr. Burke suggested to Dodsley the plan of the “Annual Register,” the historical portion of which he wrote for several years. ' In 1765 he became private secretary to the 56 Marquess of Rockingham, and was returned to Parliament for Wendover. In the contest between Great Britain and the Colonies, Burke was distinguished as a vehement opponent of the Government. His celebrated speech on American taxation was delivered April 19th, 1774. At this period he brought in and carried his famous Bill for the reform of the Civil List. In the second Rockingham Administration he was appointed Pay- master-General of the Forces. In 1783 Mr. Burke had his share in the Coalition Ministry; but on the establishment of Mr. Pitt at the head of affairs, Burke was thrown into opposition, and never afterwards was a member of the Government. In February 1788 began the trial of Warren Hastings in West- minster Hall, when Mr. Burke opened the impeachment in a speech of four days’ duration. In 1790 he published his celebrated “Reflections on the French Revolution,” which produced a complete estrangement from Mr. Fox. He warmly supported the ministry in hostility to France. In 1794 he retired from Parliament, and died at Beaconsfield. Mr. Burke’s personal appearance is thus described by Miss Burney, “ He is tall, his figure is noble, his air commanding, his “ address graceful ; his voice is clear, penetrating, sonorous, and “ powerful; his language copious, various, and eloquent. His “ manners are attractive, his conversation delightful, Mr. Burke “ darting from subject to subject with as much rapidity as “ entertainment.” Sir James Prior says that “ Like Mr. Fox, “ he was somewhat negligent in common dress, being latterly “ distinguished by a tight brown coat which seemed to impede “ freedom of motion, and a little bob-wig with curls, which, in “ addition to his spectacles, made him ha recognised by those “ who had never previously seen him.” Purchased by the.

His firs publication, “ A Modest and Free Conference between a Contor- mist and a Nonconformist,” appeared in 1669. That same he was appointed Professor of Divinity at Glasgow. Burnet removed to London, and became preacher at the Rolls Chapel. His “ Memoirs of the Dukes of Hamilton,” published ill 1676, was followed, in 1679, by the first folio volume of the “ History of the Reformation,” for which the author received the extraordinary honour of the thanks of both Houses of Parliament, After the execution of Lord Russell, whom he attended on he scaffold, he fell into disfavour with the Court, and was depnyed of his ecclesiastical appointments. On the accession of Nmg James, Burnet retired to the Continent. In Holland he acquired the favour and confidence of William Prince of Orange, and accompanied him to England as his chaplain in 1688.

It was in his sixteenth year that ho first, as it was termed by himself, “ com- mitted the sin of rhyme.” After his father’s decease, in absolute poverty, in 1784, Burns determined to try his fortune in Jamaica, and in order to raise money for his passage proposed to publish his few poems by subscription. Their unexpected but most deserved success detained the poet in Scotland, and at a later period he obtained a small office as exciseman. In 1792, at the suggestion of Mr. George Thomson, then a clerk at Edinburgh, Burns composed new songs (many of them masterpieces) for a collection of Scottish national airs, and he continued to add to that collection until even the last month of his too brief existence. This portrait was painted for Mr. George Thomson, of Edinburgh, mentioned above. Presented June, 1858, by John Dillon, Esq. (46.)

Bornat Strensham, in Worcestershire, and educated at the cathedral school. He is said also to have studied at Cambridge. At the house of Elizabeth, Countess of Kent, he became acquainted with the learned John Selden. Butler, during the period of the Civil War, was attached to the family of Sir Samuel Luke, a Puritan, and one of Cromwell’s officers in Bedfordshire, from whose person the character of Hudibras, in his famous poem, was taken. At the Eestoration, Butler became secretary to the Earl of Carbery, the Lord President of Wales, and was appointed steward of Ludlow Castle. About this time he married Mrs. Herbert, a lady of birth and fortune. In 1663 was published the first part of his celebrated poem of “ Hudibras,” the second in 1664, and the concluding part in 1678. Its popularity was unprecedented, but the author lay neglected. The fortune that he had received with his wife was not properly secured, and Butler died in London in poverty. He was interred at the expense of a friend in St. Paul’s, Covent Garden ; a bust and cenotaph were subsequently placed in Westminster Abbey. Purchased by the Trustees, July 1867. (248.)

At the age of five years George Byron (for he did not inherit the title or estate until the age of ten) was sent to a small day school at Aberdeen. Subsequently he received his education at Harrow' and at Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1807 he published " Hours of Idleness,’’ which was unfavourably criticised, and in 1809 “ English Bards and Scotch Eeviewers.” In 1811 he published the first two cantoes of “ Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage,” upon which it was said that “ ho woke one morning and found himself famous.” Byron became for a time the idol of society, and his popularity was enhanced by his subsequent poems and romantic career. A quarrel with his wife, however, together with attacks on his character, caused Byron to leave England in 1816 for ever. He resided for some time in Switzerland, where he met Shelley ; at Yenice, where his name was associated with much scandal and romance ; at Eavenna, the home of the Countess Guiccioli, to whom he was attached ; and at Pisa, where he joined Shelley and Leigh Hunt. Upon a revolt breaking out in Greece, Byron threw in his lot with the insurgents, and became one of their leaders. He died, however, of fever at Missolonghi and was buried in England. In 1819 he published the first canto of ‘‘ Don Juan,” a satirical poem, which remained unfinished at his death. Purchased by the Trustees, March 1862. (112.)

Married, May 1662, to Charles II., bringing besides a rich portion in money with her, the possession of Bombay and Tangier. She landed at Portsmouth, where the King met her. In October 1663 the Queen was attacked by a severe illness, during which the King manifested great tenderness for her and conjured her to live for his sake. Although the King was disappointed in not having any children, he recoiled from the suggestion of procuring a divorce. Her principal diversion during her widowhood was music. She had concerts regularly, and on a splendid scale ; in all other respects she lived with rigid economy. She was much respected by James II. and his Court. She resided at Somerset House, and had also a villa at Hammersmith. After the death of the King in 1685 she remained in England till 1692, and then returning to Portugal, governed that country during the illness of her brother, Pedro II. John Evelyn thus describes the appearance of the Queen in his Diary, dated 30th May 1662, on her arrival in England with her train of Portuguese ladies: “She was yet of the handsomest “ countenance of all the rest, and though low of stature, prettily “ shaped, languishing and excellent eyes, her teeth wronging “ her mouth by sticking a little too far out.” Purchased by the Trustees, June 1872.

The Duke was fcnown as an ostentatious patron of arts and letters. The pomp and magnificence of his life at Canons, a residence which he jacqnired by marriage with the daughter of Sir Thomas Lake, are described satirically by Pope in his celebrated poem on Taste, 'although the author had earnestly disavowed any intention to level his satire in that direction. He greatly encouraged music, and Handel was organist to the chapel at Canons, where some of his finest compositions were produced. Of the Duke it has been observed that his liberality was only equalled by a ready forgive- ness of injuries. He died at Canons.

Coleridge says of himself t this period: “At a. very premature age, even before my fifteenth year, I bad bewildered myself in metaphysics and in ' theological controversy. Hothiug else pleased me. History and particular facts lost all interest in my mind.” In 1791 c entered Jesus College, Cambridge, but did not stay to take a egree.

Painted by Richard Oosrocly, R.A. A prolific writer. Born at Bristol. At Eton he was a con- temporary of Lord Lyttelton, Fox, and Beckford. He quitted Oxford without taking a degree and immediately ran through a fortune that had been left to him. Prom this period he was always in financial difiiculties. In early life he travelled in Prance and Italy, where he met Sterne, then making the second tour described in his “ Sentimental Journey.” Combe adopted the profession of the law, but relinquished it for literature, and assumed the habits and extravagance of a man of extreme fasliion. Hence he became known as “ Count Combe.” Much of his writing was anonymous. He contributed to magazines and newspapers. He wrote both political pamphlets and sermons. In 1776 he published a satire called “The Diaboliad.” But his best known and once popular work is the “ Three Tours ” of “Dr. Syntax.” The success of these productions was mainly owing to the illustrations by T. Eowlandson that accompanied them. His early intimacy with Sterne gave rise to “ Letters supposed to have been written by Yorick and Eliza.” In 1780 appeared the spurious “ Letters of the late Lord Lyttelton,” hero of the well known ghost story. Combe married Charlotte Hadfield, the sister of Mrs. Cosway. His adopted son married Olivia Serres, the so-called “Princess Olive of Cumberland.” Combe was regularly employed on the staff of the “ Times,” and, in the year 1809, was described by H. Crabb Eobinson as a remarkably fine old gentleman, tall, with a stately figure and i 8C243. handsome face. Combe died at South Lambeth, within the rules of the King’s Bench Prison.

Yoltaire says of him : ” Mr^ “ Congreve had one defect, which was his entertaining too metp-f “ an idea of his first profession, that of a writer, though it wa^ ” to this he owed his fame and fortune. He spoke of his workti “ as of trifles that were beneath him ; and hinted to me in oui “ first conversation that I should visit him upon no otbei ” footing than that of a gentleman who led a life of plainness 99 and simplicity. I answered that had he been so unfortunate as to be a mere gentleman, I should never have come to see “ him.” — Letters on the English Nation. Purchased by the Trustees, February 1859.

Sixteen men, however, in- cluding John Dean, refused to desert the vessel, insisting that she was still seaworthy. These brave men alone carried her to Madagascar, where they did their best to refit her, and made sail for Mozambique ; but on the way the ship struck on a shoal and went to pieces. Five of the men escaped in the pinnace and regained Madagascar after a 17 days’ voyage ; but sickness fell upon them, and when an opportunity of returning to Christendom came, John Dean was the only survivor. He was first conveyed to Bombay, and did not reach London till two yearn later. The captain and officers of the ‘‘Sussex” Vt'ere punished for the abandonment of the vessel, and a pension of 1001. a year was settled upon Dean. The Court caused/' two original portraits to “ be painted of him to keep alive the memory of the bravery “ and devotion shown by these men in remaining at their })osts ” in the face of every discouragement.” One of these originals was presented to Dean himself, and the otlier, with a copy, was * See “ National Indian Magazine” June, 1893. 120 hung on the walls of the old India House.

In 1807 he became acquainted with Coleridge, Wordsworth, and Southey, and on leaving college in the following year, established himself at the Lakes, and joined that celebrated fraternity of poets known as Lakists. He became from that period a distinguished essayist, and his contributions to various periodicals were rapid, and in nearly all instances attended with remarkable success in public estimation.

He was summoned to Parliament by the title of Lord Strange in 1627, having two years previously been appointed one of the Knights of the Bath at the coronation of Charles I. Succeeded to the earldom in 1642. He married Charlotte, the daughter of Claude de la Tremouille, Due de Thouars, the heroic Countess well remembered by all who have read Sir Walter Scott’s “ Peveril of the Peak.” It was this lady who defended Lathom House in 1644, wlien it was besieged by 2,000 of the Parlia- mentary forces. The Earl of Derby received the honour of the Garter from Charles II., and was severely wounded in an encounter with Colonel Lilburne, at Wigan Lane, August 1651.

Being sent to London, he there commenced his professional career, at the early age of 16, with an opera, entitled “ The Shepherd’s Artifice,” which was produced at Oovent Garden Theatre. For this he composed the dialogue as well as the music. In 1768 he first appeared as an actor in his own farce, called “ The Padlock.” He became musical director at Covent Garden Theatre in 1778, at a salary of 101. a week, and about 1782 he built the Circus, now known as the Surrey Theatre. His “Musical Tour” was published in 1788, and in the following year commenced those popular entertainments, entitled “ The Whim of the Moment,” in which he was sole author, conaposer, and performer. In 1796 he erected a small theatre in Leicester Fields, which he named the “Sans Souci,” and where he con- tinued his varied entertainments with great success. In recognition of his services in supporting national enthusiasm by his sea-songs the Government of the day conferred upon him a pension of 2001. per annum.

Poet, political writer, and dramatist. A grandson of Sir Erasmus Dryden, Bart., of Canons Ashby. Bom in Northamp- tonshire. Dryden was educated under Dr. Busby at Westmin- ster School, and entered at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took his bachelor’s degree in 1664. His earliest work of importance, “ Heroic Stanzas on the late Lord Protector,” was speedily followed, in 1660, by “ Astr®a Redux,” commemorating the Restoration of King Charles II. In 1667 he wrote “ Annus Mirabilis,” and in the following year succeeded Sir William Davenant as Poet Laureate. The contributions of the new Laureate to the stage were very numerous, and marked by all the license of the period. Sir Walter Scott laments that the great poem which Dryden had designed on King Arthur was relinquished on their account : “ And Dryden in immortal strain Had raised the Table Round again. But that a ribald King and Court Bade him toil on to make them sport.” Both in religion and in politics Dryden followed the course of James II., and at the Revolution became incapacitated from ] bolding any public office. His most celebrated poems bearing political allusions were “ Absalom and Achitophel,” which appeared in 1681, and “ The Hind and the Panther,” in 1687. “ Alexander’s Feast,” his admirable ode on the Power of Music, was written ten years afterwards.

Born, at Newcastle, and, like his elder’ brother, afterwards Lord Stowell, educated at the Newcastle grammar school. Although at first intended to follow his father’s business, that of a “coal-fitter,” he was, through his brother’s recommendation, sent to Oxford, and entered as a commoner of University College in 1766. In the next year, when just 16, he was elected to a fellowship. He entered himself a student of the Middle Temple in 1773, and took his degree of M.A. early in the same year. At the bar his eminent abilities were in due time fully recognised ; and in 1783, through the patronage of Lord Weymouth, he was returned to Parliament for the borough of Weobly. Both Scott and Erskine made their maiden speeches in the same debate. In 1788 he was knighted, and appointed Solicitor General, an office which he held till 1793, and then exchanged it for that of Attoniey General. That post he retained till 1799, and in July of the same year succeeded Sir James Eyre as Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, when he was raised to the peerage by the title of Baron Eldon. In 1801 Lord Eldon became Lord Chancellor, and retained that dignity till the accession of the “Whig ministry in 1806, when Lord Erskine succeeded him. On the return of his party to power in 1807, Eldon resumed office, and finally resigned it, when' Mr. Canning became Prime Minister, in 1827. At the coronation of George lY. in 1821 the dignities of Viscount Encombe and Earl of Eldon had been conferred on him. The remainder of his life was spent in retirement.

This special favourite of Queen Elizabeth was the son of Walter Devereux, first Earl of Essex. Born at Xetherwood, in Herefordshire. He was educated under the superintendence of Lord Burghley, and sent to Trinity College, Cambridge. His first appearance at Court was made in 1584, under the patronage of the Earl of Leicester, who had recently become the husband of his mother. In the following year, when only 18 years of age, he was summoned to attend the Earl of Leicester, who was Captain General in the Low Countries. He received the commission of a General of the Horse. His conduct during this campaign, and especially at the Battle of Zutphen, won him “ golden opinions,” and on his return to England in 1587 he suddenly found himself raised to the post of Master of the Horse. On the occasion of assembling the forces at Tilbury, Essex, received the Order of the 140 Garter. The death of his step-father, Leicester, in 1588 placed Essex foremost among the rank of those most favoured by the Sovereign, a position which he for a while imperilled by marrying in 1690 the daughter of Walsingham and widow of Sir Philip Sidney. His expeditions to France and Spain, the capture of Cadiz, his subsequent encounter with the Spanish fleet, and his conduct as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, alike afford instances of his candour, generosity, rashness, and personal bravery. He had, in 1597, been raised to the high rank of Earl Marshal of England. In 1600 he was deprived of all his offices, except that of Master of the Horse ; and in February 1601 brought to trial in Westminster Hall, found guilty of rebellion, and beheaded within the precincts of the Tower of London.

Adopting also a seafaring life, he accompanied Captai n Scott, in the year 1770, to the Falkland Islands and to the Mediterranean. Among his many gallant actions the capture of the French frigate the “ Cleopatre,” in 1793, stands pro- minent. For this he received the honour of knighthood, and was advanced to the command of the “ Ai'ethusa ” of 44 guns, under Sir John Borlase Warren. He was actively employed in various services on the French coast, and subsequently as Commander-in- Chief in the Mediterranean. He was raised to the peerage as Baron Exmouth, with a pension of 2,000Z. a year for his long and eminent services. But the daring attack on the city of Algiers on the 26th August 1816 is the principal feature in his life. By this attack the Dey was reduced to submission, and 1,200 Christian slaves were liberated. Lord Exmouth received the thanks of both Houses of Parliament, was raised to the rank of Viscount, and received insignia of knighthood from the various countries to which the liberated slaves belonged.

The famous Parliamentarj’ general ; son of Ferdinando, Lord Fairfax, to whose title he succeeded in 1648. He was born at Denton, in Yorkshire, and educated at St. John’s College, Cambridge. His military experience began in Holland under Horatio, Lord Yere, whose daughter he subsequently married. Fairfax greatly improved the training and equipment of his own countrymen when they took arms for the Civil War. He con- tributed mainly to the victory at Naseby, Although opposed to monarchy, he was not prepared for the extreme views enter- tained by Cromwell ; he always treated King Charles with leniency; and absented himself from his trial. But his lady was present, and made herself conspicuous by her interruption of the proceedings, declaring in a loud voice that her husband was not there in person, that he would never sit among them, and that they did him wrong to name him as a sitting commissioner, and, when in course of the impeachment, the expression “all the good people of England ” was used, she indignantly exclaimed, “ Not half the people ; Oliver Cromwell is a traitor.” Upon this Colonel Axtel ordered his soldiers to shoot into the gallery, if another word was spoken. General Fairfax promoted the Restoration, and withdrew to Nun Appleton, his seat in Yorkshire, where he died. He greatly encouraged antiquarian and historical researches.

In May 1726 he was appointed 147 ^ord Advocate, and in 1737 he became Lord President of the ^ourt of bession. The prudent measures which Forbes adopted lowards checking the Eebellion of 1746 have contributed most to secure him historical distinction, combined as they were after ^e victory at Culloden, with counsels of moderation and clemency, tie IS said to have sunk under the disappointment of finding these unheeded.

He was a warm and most eloquent supporter of the abolition of the slave trade, and of peace with France. His wondrous powers of debating have seldom been equalled, and never in any age surpassed, while his genial temper and his engaging manners procured him the constant attachment of a numerous body of friends.

David GARRICK. 1717-1779. Painted by Robert Edye Pine. This admirable actor was born at Hereford, where his father, a captain in the army, descended from a French family named Garrique, happened to be on a recruiting party. The boy received his education at the grammar school at Lichfield, whence, in 1736, he set out for London in company with Samuel Johnson, who was seven years his senior. Both arrived in London with only a few pence in their pockets. After the trials of some other walks of life, Garrick adopted the stage as a » profession in 1741, and performed at Ipswich under the name of Lyddal in the tragedy of “ Oroonokb.” In the same year he made his first appearance in London, at the Goodman’s Fields* Theatre, October 19th, as Richard III. Of his performance in this character Pope thus wrote to Lord Orrery That young man never had his equal as an actor, and never will have a rival.” In 1742 the crowds that gathered to see him at Dublin were so great as, it was said, to produce an epidemic, and that 153 epidemic was called in jest “ the Garrick fever.” The powers of Garrick were universal. Ho excelled equally in the sublimest tragedy, the most refined comedy, or the broadest farce, and, at the commencement of his career, astonished his audiences also by his agility as a harlequin. The parts in which, perhaps, he attained the greatest celebrity were the very opposite ones of Macbeth and Abel Drugger. Purchased by the Trustees, June 1859. (82.)

Born at Wisbech ; the son of a dissenting minister. He began life as a preacher, but adopting republican views, abandoned the pulpit, and devoted himself to literature. He obtained much notoriety by his “Political Justice,” in which the principles of the French Revolution were advocated and by a philosophical novel entitled “Caleb Williams.” In 1797 he married the celebrated Mary Wollstonecraft, by whom he had a daughter, who became the wife of the poet Shelley. Godwin wrote several novels and historical woi’ks. Under the adminis- tration of Earl Grey he received the appointment of Yeoman 160 TJslier to the Exchequer. Of Godwin’s personal appearance, Southey, in a letter to Joseph Cottle, dated March 13, 1797, remarks: — “He has large noble eyes, and a nose — Oh, most “ abominable nose !

This eminent poet, essayist, historian, and dramatist, born at Pallas, in the county of Longford, Ireland, took a bachelor’s degree at Trinity College, Dublin. He looked to various pro- fessions in turn, but with little result, and led for some years a wandering life upon the Continent. He returned to England in 1756, and settled in London. Here, after serving for a while as usher in a school and apothecary’s assistant, he commenced his literary career in circumstances of great poverty. He wrote obscurely for some time in periodicals of the day— “The Monthly Eeview ” and “ The Bee.” But his admirable poem “ The Traveller,’’ published in 1765, introduced him to the notice of the most distinguished literary characters of the period. Two works of the highest merit followed, the “Vicar of Wakefield ” in 1766, and the “Deserted Village’’ in 1770. His fame was further enhanced by bis two comedies, “ The Good Natured Man,” and “ She Stoops to Conquer,” and by popular histories of Greece, Eome, and England. His last work, “ A History of the Earth and Animated Hature,” for which he received the sumof850L, appeared in 1774. He died of a fever the same year at his chambers in the Temple.

Served in the Crimea from December 1854 to May 1856, and was wounded in the trenches before Sebastopol. In 1860 he joined the allied army in China, and was present at the capture of Pekin. Gordon’s assistance in sub- duing the great Taiping Rebellion in 1862 led to his appointment to the command of the “Ever Victorious Army ” and the offer of the highest honours and rewards by the Emperor of China. These Gordon declined, and returned to his duties in England. Colonel Gordon was British vice-consul of the delta of the Danube from 1871 to 1873. In this year he undertook an expe- dition into Africa, when the Khedive of Egypt constituted him Governor of the Province of the Equatorial Lakes. He was created a pasha, and in February 1877, the Khedive appointed him Governor of the whole of the Soudan. In 1883 he resided in Palestine, and studied the various sites at Jerusalem and Jaffa, and produced a book “ Reflections in Palestine,’’ strikingly illustrative of his peculiar religious views. In January 1884 he left London for Khartum as British envoy, and, passing through Cairo, was once more appointed Governor - General of the Soudan. The story of the war with tJie Mahdi and of Gordon’s heroic defence of Khartum until betrayed by his enemies is only too well known. He was killed on the fall of Khartum, January 26, 1885.

Towards the emj of her life she became exceedingly devout. She does not appear to have returned to England. She was painted, when in the fulness of youth and beauty, for the Duchess of York, by Sir Peter Lely, about 1660. That picture, one of Sir Peter’s most' perfect works, is preserved in the Royal Collection at Hampton Court Palace. The contrast in appearance afforded by tliese two pictures is sufficiently explained by a letter of recommendation written by King Charles to his sister, the Duchess of Orleans, dated October 1669, who says, “ She will pass for a handsome woman in France, though she has not recovered that good shape she had before, and I am afraid never will.” The popular Memoirs bearing her husband’s name were in reality written by her brother Anthony Hamilton, 'a general officer in the army of King James II.

Henry Grattan was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and studied law at the Middle Temple, London. _ In 1772 he was called to the Irish Bar, and, in 1775, through the influence of his friend the Earl of Charlemont, was elected to represent the borough bearing that name. In the Irish Parliament his j eloquence roused a violent determination to assert the indepen- dence of that legislature, and he received from Parliament a vote of thanks, and a grant of 50,000Z. for his exertions. His famous speech moving the declaration of Irish rights was made on the 16th April 1782. He was returned member for Dublin in 1790, and advocated the claims of the Catholics for emancipation. He vehemently opposed Mr. Pitt’s projected union with G-reat: Britain, but, when it was effected, he did not hesitate to accept a share in the legislature, and was again returned, although to Westminster, for his native city, in 1805. Sir James Mackintosh observes that Grattan was the sole “ person in modern oratory of whom it could be said that he; “ had attained the first class of eloquence in two parliaments, “ differing from each other in their tastes, habits and prejudices, “ as much probably as any two assemblies of different nations.”^ He was interred in Westminster Abbey.

Herschel himself named it, in honour of his Koyal patron, Georgium Sidus. King George III. jiettled a salary of 400L on him, attached him to his Court as pivate astronomer, and subsequently conferred upon him the pruelphio Order of Knighthood. From this period Herschel biost zealously devoted the remainder of his life to astronomy, py his discoveries he doubled the number of bodies known to us jis forming parts of the solar system. He first perceived the rotation of Saturn’s ring and measured the rotation of Saturn iincl Venus, and in 180^3 he announced the motions of binary )tars round one another.

Lord Hervey was beyond all question a man of considerable wit and ability, Avith very delicate health, which compelled him to live a life of extreme abstemiousness. His appearance was puny and effeminate, and: unhappily for himself, he on one occasion attacked Pope, who iii rci.urn has sent his name down to posterity as a “ mere whita curd of asses’ milk.” His “ Memoirs of the Eeign of George TI.’* were edited by J.

A bust in terra-cotta by Louis F. Roubiliac. Bom in St, Bartholomew’s Close, London. The style of this most original painter is too well known to require any description. ' He was the son of a schoolmaster from Westmorland, who spelt his name Hogart, and resided in the Old Bailey. At an early ao-e Hogarth was apprenticed to -Ellis Gamble, a silversmith m Cranbourne Alley, and was employed during that time in engrav- ing arms and cyphers upon pieces of plate. He was the first artist who conceived and executed the idea of representing a series of adventures on canvas, in which the fortune of one character was conducted from the cradle to the grave, so that his pictures may be said to have all the interest of a novel. He met with con- siderable success, moreover, as a portrait painter. The “ Harlot’s Progress” was painted in 1734, and the “Rake’s Progress ” appeared in the following year. The “ Marriage a la Mode,” a series of pictures now in the National Gallery, was published by engravings in 1745. Hogarth died in Leicester Fields. The bust is mounted on a stand decorated with a blank shield,# surmounted by a satyr’s head ; a palette and brushes below it. Purchased by the Trustees, March 1861.

In 1812 he obtained, through the favour of the Prince Eegent, the lucrative post of Accountant General and Treasurer of the Mauritius, but there an alleged deficiency 111 his accounts gave rise to most serious charges against him. He returned to England in 1819, and ere long became the editor of the “ John Bull,” contributing to that paper many satirical and highly-applauded songs. Several graphic tales and sketches of society, whose high popularity still continues — the chief of them perhaps “ Gilbert Gurney,” and the first series of “ Sayings and Doings ” — proceeded in rapid succession from his pen. Few persons have ever enjoyed a higher fame for social wit, and he is, perhaps, the only Englishman who has ever attained the ai-t of improvisation in poetry. Purchased by the Trustees, May 1858.

An opportunity to learn cabinet-making having occurred, John Hunter spent three years in the manufacture ol chairs and tables. At the age of 20 he proceeded to London t( join his brother William, who was there in practice as a surgeon The manual skill which John Hunter had acquired as a carpentei seems to have enabled him to render his brother valuabh assistance in the dissecting-room, and to have formed one of hia many qualifications for his own distinguished career. In 1749 h4 studied under William Cheselden at Chelsea Hospital ; in 175] he went to St. Bartholomew’s Hospital ; and in 1768 ho becaim surgeon to St, George’s.

His original name was Hunt, and this he afterwards from a fancy of his own, changed into Huntington. He sub' sequently appended the mysterious letters S.S. to his namf and afforded the folio tving reason in explanation: — “As lean not get at D.D. for want of cash, neither can I get at M.A, fbi “ the want of learning, therefore I am compelled to fly for refu^ “ to S.S., by which I mean Sinner Saved.” Endowed wi™ great powers of mind and a strain of natural eloquence, he began his career as a preacher at Sunbury. Necessity, howevef compelled him to have recourse to other means also for sub sistence. When he removed to Thames Ditton he was engagei 207 to cany coals from the river at a pay of 14s. per week.

She devoted herself to literature, and visited Germany in 1833 and Canada in 1836. Italy she had known in earlier days. Few writers have done so much as Mrs. Jameson to refine the public taste, and to diffuse a knowledge of the great masters of art. Professor Wilson, in the “ Noctes,” pronounces her one of the most eloquent of our female writers, full of feeling and fancy ; a true enthusiast with a glowing soul. Her eaidiest essay on social subjects was “ Woman’s Mission and Woman’s Position,” w'hich appears in “ Memoirs and Essays,” 1846. “ Sacred and Legendary Art,” Legends of the Monastic Orders,” and “Legends of the 214 Madonna,” "wliicli she regarded as the special work of her life, and by which she chiefly desired to be remerabei’ed, belonged to a later period.

He entered Parliament in 1830, became Lord Advocate of Scotland under the Grey administration, and represented the city of Edinburgh in the first Reform Parliament.

Samuel J ohnson became usher at a grammar school in Leicestershire and married a widow lady named Porter. He then opened an academy at Edial, near Lichfield, but this proving unsuccessful, he, in 1735, accompanied by G-arrick, v/ho bad been his pupil, set out for London. Here he became acquainted with Cave, the proprietor of the Gentle- man’s Magazine,” to which he largely contributed. His play “ Irene ” written in 1737, was produced by Garrick at Drury Lane in 1749. His poem of “ London ” was published anony- mously in 1738. In 1747 he began, and in 1765 completed, his great work “A Dictionary of the English Language.” Meanwhile he produced, in 1749, “The Vanity of Human Wishes,” and the series of papers named “ The Eambler.” In 1759 he wrote “Rasselas.” The University of Dublin con- ferred on him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws in 1765, and he had previously in 1755 received by diploma from Oxford the degree of Master of Arts.

Born near Smithfield, the son of a respectable clothworker of the same name, who could afford him but a very slender education. Having a taste for art, young Inigo visited Italy and painted landscapes ; but it was at Venice, where he resided some years, that he concentrated his talent upon architecture. He practised at Copenhagen in the service of King Chris- tian IV., brother of Anne, then Queen of England, and is said to have assisted in building the Danish Palace of Predcriksborg. On his return to London, he obtained the patronage of the Queen, and was appointed to the service of Henry, Prince of Wales. At this time the taste and ingenuity of Inigo Jones were frequently employed upon court masques, an entertainment then in vogue, in the production of which he was associated with Ben Jonson. After the death of Prince Henry, Inigo paid a second visit to Italy, and returned, in 1615, to fill the appointment of Surveyor of Works to the Crown. His masterpiece, the Banqueting House, Avas completed in 16S2. Jones added a classic portico to the west end of old St. Paul’s. He built the Queen’s House at Greenwich, and laid out Lincoln’s Inn Eields and Covent Garden Market. The church in the latter was begun in 1631, and consecrated by Bishop Juxon in 1638. The outbreak of the Rebellion, and Jones’s steady adherence to the Roman Catholic faith, limited his public works, and his later years were clouded with vexation and disappointments. But his name is honourably conirected Avith the construction of many noble mansions in various parts of the country. His official residence aa'us in Scotland Yard.

Esq. (940.) ILLIAM Petty, First Marqttess or LANSDOWNE. Painted hy Sir Joshua Reynolds, P.B.A. 1737-1805. Better known as Earl of Shelburne. One of the foremost statesmen of his time. In early life he served as a volunteer under Prince Ferdinand. Subsequently he was distinguished by the confidence and friendship of the great Lord Chatham, in whose administration of 1766 Lord Shelburne filled the office of Secretary of State. His removal from office in the autumn of 1768 by Lord Chatham’s colleagues was one main motive for Lord Chatham’s own resignation which ensued. For many years Lord Shelburne continued one of the principal and most eloquent adversaries of Lord North in the House of Peers. On the fall of Lord North, in 1782, he became Secretary of State under Lord Rockingham ; and on the death of Lord Rockingham, a few months afterwards, he was himself named Prime Minister, but his administration endured no longer than the month of A.pril following. In 1784 he was created Marquess of Lansdowne, I but he was never again appointed to any public employment, ! and his concluding years were in a great measure devoted to the ; pursuits of art and literature.

Painted in 1806 hy Henry Walton. Born at Shelburne House. Lord Henry Petty was son of the first Marquess. He was educated, first at Westminster, and afterwards at Edinburgh, where his studies were directed by Dugald Stewart. He thence proceeded to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1801. After travelling a few months on the continent, he entered into public life, and shortly 234 after attaining his majority, was returned to Parliament, under his father’s influence, as member for Oalne. Lord Henry Petty, on the accession of the Whigs to office under Lord Grenville and Mr. Fox in 1806, was nominated Oliancellor of the Ex- chequer, and at the same time returned to Parliament as member for the University of Cambridge, in succession to Mr. Pitt. Lord Henry Petty resigned, together with his colleagues, in the spring of 1806, and Ijy the chances of party remained out of office for more than 20 years. During the interval, however, namely in 1809, he succeeded his half-brother in the Lansdowno peerage. In 1827 Lord Lansdowne became Home Secretary in Mr. Canning’s administration, and filled several other high Cabinet offices, between that period and his retirement under the pressure of age in 1862. During this period his mild wisdom, his calmness, sagacity, good temper, and good taste became especially conspicuous. It may be said that he led the House of Lords, in very trying times, without making any personal enemy. ^ Lord Lansdowne was also, eve a beyond the sphere of politics, a nobleman of very extended taste and knowledge, and showed himself a most liberal patron of literature, science, and the fine arts. He was a foundation Trustee of this Gallery. He died at Bowood. Purchased by the Trustees, June 1864. (178.) To the waist, face almost in profile to the right. Dimensions.— 2 ft. 6 ins. by 2 ft.

Painted in 1555 by an unlcnown artist. Bishop of Worcester. Protestant martyr. Born at Thurcastou ill Leicestershire. Educated at Cambridge. The martyrdom of Bilney at Norwich inspired him with courage to urge King Henry VIII. to render the Bible accessible to all classes. Through the influence of Queen Anne Boleyn, and Thomas Cromwell, Earl of Essex, he was raised in 1535 to the Bishopric of Worcester, which, after three years, from motives of conscience, he resigned. Latimer was a popular preacher, and his freedom of speech was at that time in no way displeasing to the King. After the fall of the Earl of Essex, he was committed to the Tower, and only released in the reign of Edward VI. when he resided with Cranmer at Lambeth. In the reign of Queen Mary he became again a close prisoner. He was conveyed with his friends Ridley and Cranmer to Oxford. There, at a conference in St. Mary’s Church, he appeared in his prison attire, wearing a cap on his head close buttoned, a pair of spectacles hanging at his breast, a New Testament under his arm, and a stafi" in his hand. After formal degradation, he was brought with Ridley to the stake, October 16th, in his 83rd year, when he uttered the memorable words to his companion, “Be of good cheer, brother, we shall “ this day kindle such a torch in England, as I trust, shall never “ be extinguished.” His sermons were first printed collectively in 1549.

Copied by Henry iS tone from the original picture by Van Dyck at Lambeth Palace. Archbishop of Canterbury. Born at Reading. Was the son of a clothier, and received his early education in the Free Grammar School of his native town, whence in 1589 he was removed to St. John’s College, Oxford, of which College he, in 1611, was appointed President. Passing through a long gradation of ecclesiastical honours he finally, in 1633, became Archbishop of Canteibury and Chancellor of the University of Dublin. The zeal which he displajmd for church confoBmity, and his endeavours to introduce the English liturgy into Scotland, were, no doubt, honest and sincere, but cannot be regarded as prudent or 23b- discreet. His coiidact raised against him a host of angry enemies. At the commencement of the Long Parliament he was impeached by the Commons, and sent to the Tower. He was brought to trial in March 1644, and defended himself throughout with courage and ability. The judges gave it to be understood that the charges contained no legal treason ; whereupon the Commons changed the impeachment into an ordinance for his execution, to which the Lords assented. He suffered death on Tower Hill with courage and piety. There is a curious reference to Laud’s o^n portrait in his diary published with the “ History of the Troubles of Archbishop Laud,” Oct. 27th, 1640 : “ In my upper study hung my picture, taken “ by the life, and coming in I found it fallen down upon the face “ and lying on the floor, the string being broken by which it was “ hanged against the wall. I am almost every day threatened “ with my ruin in Parliament, ‘ God grant this be no omen.’ ” Purchased by the Trustees, March 1864. (171.) Standing flgure to the knees, facing the spectator.

The son of a wealthy goldsmith of EdinWrgh. After killing an adversary in a duel, Law went to Paris, and having there obtained the patronage of the Eegent Duke of Orleans, established his bank in 1716, by Royal authority. This system, called the Mississippi Scheme, was princij^ally based on the issiie of a paper currency, with a view of paying ofi' the French national debt, which at that time amounted to 1,500 millions of livres. This system, promising at first, came to a sudden and ruinous crash within a very few months, and Law withdrew abruptly to Brussels. After wandering through various countries of Europe, he finally settled at Venice, and died there in poverty. When at the height of his power, Voltaire thus wrote of him, “ I have seen him come to Court followed hunably by dukes, by marshals, and by bishops.” Early in 1720, having embraced the Roman Catholic faith, he had been appointed Comptroller General of the Finances in Prance.

Educated at Foyle College, Londonderry, and at Haileybury. He went out to India in 1829, and his brilliant abilities were first displayed in the capacity of i Commissioner of the provinces added to the Indian Empire after I the first Sikh war. On the annexation of the Punjaub in 1849 he j was appointed Chief Commissioner of that great province, which j by the admirable reorganisation effected by him and his fellow- commissioners, was so completely reconciled to British rule, that it remained faithful throughout the great Mutiny of 1857. For his distinguished services during that aventful period Lawrence was rewarded with a baronetcy and the Grand Cross of the Bath, and in 1863 he succeeded Lord Elgin as Governor- General of India. On his retirement in 1869 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Lai^ rence of the Punjaub. After his return to England Lord Lawrence took an active interest in educational questions, and was chairman of the London School Board from 1870 to 1873. He died in London.

He was the hrst to establish military discipline and contributed greatly towards the permanent security of our Indian possessions, especially by his defence of Trichinopoly and the reduction of Pondicherry. At Trichinopoly he was ably supported by Robert Clive, who served second in command under him. Lawrence held sway in India during a period of twenty years, from 1746 to 1766. A monument to commemorate his services was erected by the East India Company in Westminster Abbey, and his statue, at first placed in the court room of the East India House, London, is now in the India Office, Whitehall.

He was associated with George Cruikshank in illustrating the Ingoldsby Legends. In 1841 Leech made his first appearance in “Punch,” to which he ever afterwards steadily adhered. He was gifted with great facility of invention. His designs were subtle illustrations of human character, and afforded records of political history in the most amusing form. His political caricatures were not open, like those of Gillray and Rowlandson, to the charge of exaggeration and want of taste, but in all his compositions there was a tendency to elegance and refinement. Leech was always of a highly nervous temperament, and the constant demand upon his strength over- taxed his powers, and he died at a comparatively early age from overwork.

Author of “ The Monk,” “ Tales of Wonder,” and 245 “ The Castle Spectre.” Educated at Westminster and at a German university. He afterwards obtained a seat in Parliament for the borough of Hindon, but made no figure in the House. His style of writing is thus signalised by Byron in “ English Bards and Scotch Reviewers ” : — “ Oh wonder-working Lewis ! Monk or Bard, Who fain wouldst make Parnassus a churchyard ! ” His personal appearance in the year 1798 is described by Sir Walter Scott: “ Matt had queerish eyes — they projected like those “ of some insects, and were flattish on the orbit.

The fourth son of the fifth;! Viscount Stormont. He was born at Scone Abbey, and received | his education at Westminster School. In early life he associated very much with the “ men of wit about town,” and was the friend of ' Pope, who dedicated the 6th epistle of his “Imitations of Horace to him. In November 1742 he was appointed Solicitor-General,' and as member for Boroughbridge obtained a seat in the House of | Commons, where his eloquence and legal knowledge soon rendered! him very powerful. In the House Murray and Pitt were opposedl to each other as the best speakers of their respective parties. In, 1754 Murray was made Attorney-General, and in 1756 re- ceived the appointment of Chief Justice of the King’s Bench, and at the same time was raised to the peerage by the title of Baron Mansfield. From that time forward his career was in the main judicial, distinguished throughout by sound knowledge and brilliant accomplishments, a courtesy that was seldom ruffled; and an eloquence which never failed. Yielding at last to the infirmities of age, he retired from the bench in 1788, but sur vived till 1793. He died at his seat, Caen Wood, Hampstead and was buried in Westminster Abbey.

He began life as an heraldic coach painter, and made his way to London in 1806. He married early, and supported himself by painting on china and glass. This kind of manipulation was frequently traceable in his after works, and he never overcame a taste for Oriental glitter. He studied architecture and perspective with extreme care. His picture, in 1806, of “ Joshua commanding the sun to stand still,” brought him prominently into notice, and his works became highly popular, especially “ The fall of Babylon” and “Belshazzar’s Feast.” For the latter, in 1821, he was awarded a premium of 200Z. For his book illustrations to “Paradise Lost” during the years 1832-58 he received 2,0001. He quarrelled early with the Royal Academy. When the Society of British Artists was founded he joined them with ardour, but his contributions soon fell off', and he never ceased to send to the Academy. He also devoted much time to schemes for improvement of the metroj)olis, both in architecture and drainage. He Avas seized with paralysis whilst in the act of painting, and died at Douglas in the Isle of Man. It has been remarked that “no painter has ever like Martin. “ represented the immensity of space, none like him made “ architecture so sublime, merely through its vastness ; no “ painter like him has spread forth the boundless valley or piled “ mountain upon mountain to the sky, like him, none has made “ light poor down in dazzling floods from heaven, and none “ has like him painted the darkness visible of the infernal “ deeps.” * Pui'chased by the Trustees, June 1894.

A sturdy opponent of the court- arty in th.© reign of Charles II. Son of a minister and^ school- laster at Ringston-upon-Hull. In 1635 he was admitted of Crinity College, Cambridge. After travelling abroad he became, n 1657, assistant to Milton, who was then Latin Secretary to ihe Protector. At the Restoration, Marvell was elected to Parliament for his native place, and received a salary from his Eonstituents. Notwithstanding his frequent pecuniary difficulties ue declined the sum of 1,000L with a place at Court offered to him by the Earl of Danby. The King took great pleasure m his conversation. He was interred in the church of St. Giles s- In-the-Fields. Wood says that Marvell in his conversation was very modest, and of few words. In his controversial works he was the greatest master of ridicule in his time. Aubrey describes him as of “middling stature, pretty strong sett, roundish faced, cherry cheek’t, hazell eie, browne haire.

Painted by an unhnoivn French artist. Daughter of Claude, Duke of Guise, and widow of Louis, Duke of Longueville. In 1638 she became the wife of James V., King of Scotland. At his death in 1542, leaving her with a newly born daughter, afterwards the celebrated Mary Stuart, she was involved in troubles connected with the regency. When herself made Eegent, in 1654, she suffered severely from the violent contention of religious parties. Influenced by her brothers the Duke of Guise and the Cardinal of Lorraine, the Eegent in 1559 issued an edict of such intolerance that the Eeformers openly revolted and had recourse to England for succour. The Eegent on her side brought troops from France to strengthen her position. She was besieged in Leith, fell ill and died in the Castle of Edinburgh. This picture was for some time accepted as a portrait of Mary Queen of Scots, but recent investigations and the circumstance of the colour of the eyes and peculiar contour of the counten- ance show clearly that, although a Queen of Scotland, Mary of Lorraine and not Mary Stuart is the person represented. The costume is singularly rich and interesting to artists, and the lady evidently a personage of the highest rank. The device on the locket held in her hand of a crowned pillar between the letters M and E pertains to royalty, and would apply equally well to Mary of Lorraine or Mary Stuart. Only one authentic portrait of Mary of Lorraine is known, and that is in the possession of the Duke of Devonshire. In all naain points these two portraits agree. Mary of Lorraine was distinguished by tallness of stature, and in this picture the fingers are remarkably long. The shield of ai’ms hanging behind from the branch of a tree is obscured by shadow and appears to have been in some measure obliterated. The manner in which the quarterings of France and Scotland are arranged points clearly to the one period when Francis II. and her daughter, Mary, occupied the throne of France, the early part of the year 1560. ^ The shield of arms in its obscurity might, instead of applying direct to the person represented, refer to the King and Queen abroad, from whom the Eegent’s authority was derived. The picture would seem to have been painted whilst the regent was besieged in Leith. The city and castle among rocks in the distance has been supposed to represent Edinburgh.

Observations . — The costume adopted for this effigy accords ir the main with the type of the Sheffield and Morton portraits Here is added a royal mantle, lined with ermine, with a cape o' the same covering the shoulders. The gauze veil and bowed-ouf wings were of necessity omitted. Ho necklace and no ear-rings art visible. The top of her dress, instead of being curved (bowec upwards), is cut straight across. The square linked chain fastened at her breast and passing round her waist, corresponds with a round-linked chain of steel worn in the same manner ir the Sheffield picture. The construction of the cap, depressed over the forehead and arched at the sides to show the hair ir bunches, is the same as in all other portraits of this period. The ruff of richly-patterned lace is left open in front to show the neck and is fastened by strings Avith four tassels hanging on the same level in front. In the Sheffield and Morton portraits there are also four tassels ; two of them being connected with a bowec knot, and placed higher than the rest. Some decoration probably a crucifix or jewel, was formerly attached to the broac ribbon hanging in front like a letter V. It is observable thaf only in representations of the Queen associated with hei execution is seen the “ wheel-shaped” ruff, undivided in front as in the large memorial pictures at Windsor, Cobham Hall, an< Blair’s College. From entries in the Pell Records of the reign of James I., i appears that Cornelius Cure, master mason to the King, receivoc large payments on account of this monument, according to e plot thereof drawn, but by whom is not stated. The first o 289 f ^ese entries is as follows : “ By order, 7th of May 1606. To ?

But within the limits of this notice it is impossible even to enumerate his services.

In 1801 he appearecl oft Copenhagen. “ Of Nelson and the North Sing the glorious day’s renown, When to battle fierce went forth All the might of Denmark’s Crown.” In 1805 Nelson encountered the French and Spanish fleets off Cape Trafalgar.

His countenance was open and ingenuous. It “ varied easily with his spirits and his feelings. It could speak “ dejection, and, on occasion, anger very strongly. But when it “ meant to show pleasure or approbation it softened with the “ most gracious smile, and diffused over his features the most “ benevolent and reviving complacency that can be imagined.” It is stated also that he was of very irritable temper, and, in order to guard himself against passion, he made it a rule always to speak in a very slow and measured tone.

John SELDEH. 1584-1654. Painter unTcnown. Of Selden, his friend Ben Jonson was wont to say that he was “ Monarch in letters.” In the same strain Anthony a Wood declares that “he was usually styled the great Dictator of learning of the “ English nation. He was a great Philologist, Antiquary, Herald, Linguist, Statesman, and what not.” Selden was born at Salvington, near Worthing. He was educated at Chichester, and at Hart Hall, Oxford. His legal studies commenced at Clifford’s Inn, but in 1604 he removed to the Inner Temple, where he was called to the bar. His treatise upon “ Titles of Honour ” appeared in 1614, and his “History of Tythes” in 1618. In later years Selden was distinguished among the opponents of King Charles’s Government, and on the dissolution of Parliament in 1629 he was committed to the Tower. From thence he was removed to the rules of the King’s Bench. He obtained his liberty in 1634. After this period his opinions became more favourable to the Court, and he dedicated to the King his work, entitled “Mare Clausum,” written in opposition to Grotms. He died at his house in White- friars, and was buried in the Temple Church. Purchased by the Trustees, May 1859. (76.) To the waist, face three-quarters to the left.

Born at Wimborne St. Giles, Borsetshire ; son of Sir John Cooper, Bart. ; studied at Exeter College, Oxford ; and in 1638 became a student of law at Lincoln’s Inn. His zealous services towards the Restoration in 1660 were rewarded by the Kiug with the governorship of the Isle of Wight, and elevation to the peerage as Lord Ashley of Wimborne St. Giles. In 1672 he was raised to the further rank of Earl of Shaftesbury, and to the post of_ Chancellor. Dryden’s fine character of him as a judge, in his “Absalom and Achithopel,” is familiar to every reader of English poetry : — “ In Israel’s courts ne’er sat an Abethdin With more discerning eyes, or hands more clean ; Unbribed, unsought, the wretched to redress. Swift of despatch, and easy of access.” His versatile but always most able and active politics were conspicuous in nearly all the transactions of this reign. Finding himself unable to make any further stand against the Court, Shaftesbury fied to Holland, and died at Amsterdam. Walpole mentions in his “Anecdotes of Painting,” that the Earl, when Chancellor, went to Verelst, to have his portrait painted ; but being disgusted by his rudeness, sat to Greenliill instead.

Lineal descendant of the first Earl of Shaftesbury, the member of the Cabal Ministiy in the reign of Charles I. Born in London, and eldest son of thg sixth Earl. Educated at Harrow, where he first made up his mind to devote his life to philanthropy, and Christ Church, Oxford, where in 1882 he obtained a first class in Classics. He was returned, as Lord Ashley, M.P. for Woodstock in 1826, and supported the Governments of Liverjiool and Canning. In the Administration of the Duke of Wellington he was Oommissfoner the Board of Control. Lord Ashley energetically promoted ;he cause of factory legislation to improve the condition of children and to relieve them from overwork. In 1844 the Ten tiours Bill was passed. This, and the exclusion of female labour and of boys under 13 years from mines, with incessant exertions pn behalf of homeless and destitute children, was the great work of his life. His powerful appeal for the education of the children pf the manufacturing districts was promptly responded to by the establishment of the Ragged School Union, of which he became the first president. Lord Ashley succeeded his father in the earldom in 1851. Lord Shaftesbury’s activity in religious improvement was quite as beneficent as his labours for the social advancement of the masses. He was President of the Bible Society, of the bi’astoral Aid Society,, and many missionary undertakings of Igreat importance were carried into effect chiefly through his powerful advocacy. One of his last appearances in public was at the Exeter Hall meeting held to celebrate the Luther tercentenary. He died at Folkestone. Presented, December 1895, by the artist. (1012.)

A mention of his play of “ Hamlet” being performed occurs in 1589. In 1593 Shakespeare dedicated his poem of “Venus and ! Adonis ” to the Earl of Southampton. The first printed play of I Shakespeare was “Henry VI. (Part II.)” in 1594. A list of i several of his plays was given by Francis Meres in 1598, omitting, however, “Hamlet,” “Taming of the Shrew,” ‘Henry V.,” 360 and “ Othello.” “ Henry Y.” was produced in 1699. Un. fortunately, with the exception of a few plays in quarto (now extreme rarities), no authorised edition of Shakespeare’s plays was printed in his lifetime. His works were first published collectively in one folio volume in 1623, under the auspices ol his brother managers and actors, Heminge and Condell. The frontispiece contains a portrait of the author, engraved by Droeshout. {8ee the following article marked (a.) ) In his own plays Shakespeare used to perform the parts of the Ghost in “Hamlet,” and Old Adam in “As you like It.” He died and was buried at Stratford-upon-Avon. j ^ This picture has in recent times been known as [ THE CHANDOS POETRAIT. “ The Ohandos Shakspeare was the property of John Taylor the player, by whom or by Richard Burbage it was painted, The picture was left by the former in his will to Sir William Da tenant.

On the surrender of Toulon to Lord Hood in August 1793, Captain Smith was employed to destroy the French ships of war and stores that could not be removed. He was afterwards captured by the French and kept a prisoner for two years, when he contrived to escape. In 1798 he sailed in the “ Tigre ” for the Mediterranean, and from Constantinople proceeded to the relief of Acre, at that time besieged by Buonaparte, when his surprising energy and never-failing resources compelled the French to retreat. When Buonaparte quitted Egypt, Captain Smith negotiated with General Kleber for the evacuation of th® country. At the battle of Alexandria, which proved fatal to Abercromby, he received a wound, and on his return to England was honoured by the Freedom of the City of London and a sword.

Her sister Mary, also an actress, married a brother of the Earl Oholmondeley, Margaret was struck with paralysis.

Although described on her monument, in Teddingtou Church, as “spinster,” she is said to have been married to Colonel Caesar. Both Garrick and Sir Charles Hanbury Williams addressed verses to her as “ Peggy.” Her charities were un- bounded, and her memory has been revived in recent times by a novel by Mr. Charles Reade, bearing her name, and also by a popular play called “ Masks and Faces.” Presented by Sir Theodore Martin, K.C.B., October 1881 (650.)

Lethbridge. Satirist. Born at Dodbrooke, in Devonshire. Ho began life as a medical practitioner with an uncle at Fowoy, in Corn- wall, and having taken the degree of M.D. at the University of Aberdeen, accompanied Sir William Trelawney to Jamaica, where he exchanged his medical pursuit for the Church, and returned to England for ordination. Upon the death of his patron, in 1768, Wolcot quitted Jamaica, and established himself in Cornwall, where he was the first to discover the artistic talent of the Cornish boy Opie, whom he carried to London in 1780. Here Wolcot became conspicuous by the satirical poems which he published under the name of “ Peter Pindar.” He spared neither King nor Ministers, neither the men of science, nor yet the men of .

In 1758 Wolfe joined Boscawen and Amherst in the reduction of Louisburg, and on his return the following year was at once entrusted with an expedition against Quebec, at that time the capital of the French • in Canada. On the 13th of September the English had made themselves masters of the Heights of Abraham, which commanded the town, and after a most gallant contest the French gave way. Montcalm, their commander, was killed ; and Wolfe also, being severely wounded, expired on the field in the very moment of victory. His body was brought to England, and interred at Greenwich.

In the latter year he •vvas also promoted by the Pope to the dignity of Cardinal. His retinue surpassed that of royalty itself. York Place (now Whitehall), his chief residence, was furnished with the greatest splendour. He built Hampton Court Palace, which he afterwards presented to the King, his master, and founded Oludst Church, Oxford, which was first known by the name, derived from himself, of “ Cardinals College.” But a revolution at last suddenly deprived him of power.

He was at first occupied in printing and editing the “ Public Advertiser.” From these pursuits he was for a time diverted by a taste for the theatrical profession, and performed several characters in Scotland with success. Ho returned to the metropolis about 1772, and became editor of the “ London Packet.” He v'as appointed to the double office of printer and editor of “ The Morning Chronicle,” which he continued to fill till the year 1789, when he commenced a paper on his own account, called “ The Diary.” His memory was wonderfully retentive. Aided by this advantage he undertook, for the first time in newspaper writing, to give a detailed account of the proceedings in Parliament on the same night. Without taking a note to assist his mcmoi’y, he has lieen known to write 16 columns of the debates in as many hours. This innovation, once established, led to a division of labour, and to the system of reporting by shorthand as novv adopted by all the London news* papers.

In 1766 Woollett became a member of the Incorporated Society of Artists, of which he held the secretaryship for several years. He was appointed historical engraver to the King. His finest works were the “Death of Wolfe” and “The Battle of La Hogue,” after West, and “ Niobe,” after Wilson.

King James by this treaty bound himself to give no further irid to the “ Hollanders or other enemies of the King of Spain ind the Archduke,” in return for which English subjects trading ,broa,dj were exempted from molestation b}-- the agents of the Dquisition. This abandonment of the Hollanders led to a dislike )etween the two nations, which resulted in the naval wars of he time of the Commonwealth. A particular account of this Jonference, and the articles of the treaty agreed upon will be ound in Stow’s Annals (ed. 1631) under the date of August 1604.

The scene represents the iuteiiop of a chamber, and faces a large square window looking into a courtyard surrounded by buildings, the red roof and tall chimneys of which are seen’ through the leaden casement of the glass. The ceiling does not appear. Beneath the window, and inside the room, is trailed a large plant combined with white roses. The walls are hung with tapestries bearing tablets dated 1560, and aflford an exact representation of the decorations of the apartment at that time. The floor is strewn with rushes. In the centre is a long square table, placed endwise towards the window, covered with a richly patterned carpet cloth. The commissioners are all seated along the sides in high-backed chairs, facing each other, no chair being placed at either end. One solitary inkstand and pen appear on the table, and a single official paper lies open before Cecil, the Secretary of State. The fifth figure on the opposite side (Eichardot) holds a small paper in his right hand inscribed “ Altezz. Seren.” The writing on the larger document i« illegible and was never intended by the painter to be read. Northampton holds a small paper folded like a book in his right band.

' This Committee was appointed by the House of Commons on a motion of General James Oglethorpe, M.P. on February 25, 1728-9, to inquire into conduct of Thomas Bambridge, warder of the Fleet Prison. The Committee met on February and reported : “ That Thomas Bambridge, the acting warder of the prison of “ the Fleet, hath wilfully permitted several debtors of the crown “ in great sums of money, as well as debtors to divers of his “ Majesty’s subjects to escape ; hath been guilty of the most “ notorious breaches of his trust, great extortions, and the “ highest crimes and misdemeanours in the execution of his said “ office and hath arbitrarily and unlawfully loaded with irons, “ put into dungeons, and destroyed prisoners for debt under his “ charge, treating them in the most barbarous and cruel manner “ in high violation and contempt of the laws of the Kingdom. In spite of this report and three subsequent trials for murder and other crimes, Bambridge seems to have escaped without any great punishment. The members of the Committee were as follows : Chairman, General James Edw. Oglethorpe, Lord Morpeth, Lord Inch iquin. Lord Percival, Sir Gregory Page, Sir Archibald Grant of Monymusk (for whom the picture was painted), Sir James Thornhill (the painter), Sir Andrew Fountaine, General Wade, Capt.

NTERTOE OF THE Olh HOUSE OF COMMONS IN St. Stephen’s Chapel at Westminster, in the yeah 1793. Painted by Karl Anton Iliclcel. The Speaker, Addington, is in the chair. Conspicuous on the left of the Speaker, stands W illiam Pitt in the act of addressing the House. Among the members, to the left of the spectator, may be recognised Sir R, Pepper Arden (Master of the Rolls), wearing a black gown and. clerical bands, Henry Dundas (Home Secretary), Richard, Earl of ' Mornington, wearing a blue ribbon as K.P., Robt. Dundas (Lord AdTOcate), Dudley Ryder (Paymaster General), Canning, Sir John Mitford (Solicitor General), Lord Macartney, Jenkinson, Wilberforce, and Lord Bayham. On the right of the spectator in the front row on the left of the Speaker are seen Charles James Eox, Sheridan, and Erskine. At the table are seated IMr. John Hatsell and Mr. John Ley. Among the members in the back row is General Porter of tJie Guards, who sat for Stockbridge. The date of this picture appears to be early in the month of February 1793, and to represent the animated debate upon a Royal Message which was deliveredto Parliament, informing them that the King had determined to augment his forces “ for “ supporting his allies and for opposing views of aggrandisement “ and ambition on the part of Prance.” A moment like this, involving a discussion on the abolition of monarchy, would naturally, after his painful experience of the revolutionary movement in France which he had just quitted, interest the artist, and he appears to have at once selected it, and to have been specially favoured with sittings from members who were present. The circumstances which led to the acquisition of this art treasure are as follows : — The knowledge of the fact that such a picture had ever been painted originated in the Loan Exhibition of National Portraits held at South Kensington in 1867, when two meritorious portraits of British statesmen, Erskine and Canning, lent by Earl Grey, K.G., and Lord Houghton re- spectively, drew attention to the artist Karl Anton Hickel, by whom they were painted. It was then found recorded that Hickel had commenced in 1793 a large picture of the interior of the House of Commons, which was to have been engraved by Cheesman, but which the artist eventually, after refusing a large price for it, carried away to Hamburg, where he died. Repeated inquiries were then instituted as to its subsequent resting place, but without success, until the Rt. Hon. Edward Stanhope, M.P., a member of this Board, had recourse to “Notes and Queries, and through that medium elicited the information that the picture was at Vienna, having been purchased from HickeTs 456 heirs m 1816 by the Emperor Francis of Austria ; that it wafJ deposited iu a storeroom of the Belvedere Palace, and had at’ one time been exhibited to the public there, as noted in Murray’s* “ Handbook to Southern Germany,” 1853 edition. The correct- ness of these particulars was ascertained by the assistance of tho late Colonel the Hon. Everard Pj’imroso, military attache to the British Embassy at Vienna, and, through the interest of Earl Granville, K.G., Secretary of State for Eoxeign Affairs, and Lord Edmond Fitsnnaurice, M.P., Under Secretary of State and a Trustee of this Gallery, on the circumstances being broiight to the notice of the Emperor of Austria, his Imperial Majesty was pleased to present the picture to Her Excellency Lady Paget, the wife of the British Ambassador, for tho Halionul Portrait Gallery.
