The Pilgrim Fathers were the founders of New E^ngland. At the beginning of the 17th Century there was a considerable secession from the Church of England of persons who objected to the liturgy and offices of the Church. Dissenting congrega- tions were thus formed which established Churches of their own, one of these being in Nottinghamshire and another in Yorkshire. Owing to severe persecution by the Church Authorities, these dissenters left their native country for Holland, and established themselves at I^eyden from 1609 to 1620. In 1620 a goodly company of them sailed for North America, and landed at Cape Cod, on the New England Coast, on Nov. nth, where they founded a successful and flourishing colony. In the picture the Pilgrim Fathers have just landed ; and, as described in Mrs. Heman's poem on this subject — * ' They shook the depths of the desert gloom With their hymns of lofty cheer." 89.

Quatre Bras is a small village at the junction of four roads, where the great road from Charleroi to Brussels intersects that from Namur to Nivelles, and is about 20 miles from Brussels. On Jime i6th, 181 5, the AlUed Army, under Wellington, was attacked by the French, under Marshal Ney, at Quatre Bras, and, after a fiercely -contested battle, both armies remained on the field. The next morning Wellington withdrew his forces in a masterly manner to Waterloo, where he expected to join Blucher, who, on the previous day, had been engaged with his Prussian Army against Napoleon at Ligny. The picture shows the AUied Army on the march, with Welhngton in the foregroimd at the head of a long line of Infantry, cheered by his Cavalry who are waiting to cover the rear, while in the background the Artillery are keeping the French in check. A companion picture to this (No. 203) shows the Field of Water- loo on the morning of the battle, with the French headquarters.

The Siege of Lucknow was one of the most thrilling incidents of the Indian Mutiny. On June 8th, 1857, 1,000 Europeans and about 700 natives were besieged by a numerous horde of Sepoys, never less than 30,000 and sometimes as many as 100,000 in number. These kept up a constant cannonade against the place, and for four months only once was a mes- senger able to go out and return. The place held out till Sept. 25th, when it was relieved by General Havelock and Sir James Outram, but with a force insufficient to take away the garrison; so for another eight weeks the siege continued, being finally raised by Sir Colin Campbell in Nov., 1857. The picture shows some of the defenders of I^ucknow who have heard the sound of the approach of the relieving army, and is taken from an incident of the siege described in a poem called " Jessie's Dream." 102.

After the Battle of CuUoden, which was fought in April, 1746, when the English Army defeated the Highland adherents of Prince Charles, that Prince was hidden for several months in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, where diligent search was made for him by the British Government, and a reward of ;^3,ooo offered for his capture. In May, 1746, when in South Uist, General Campbell appeared and subjected the island to a rigorous search. It was at this time that Flora Macdonald was introduced to the Prince, as we see her in the picture, just entering the Cabin, attended by her maid, Betty Burke, and her servant, Neil MacEachan, and being conducted by a Jacobite Chief to the Prince, who is seated by the fire. Flora Macdonald imdertook to convey the Prince to the Island of Skye, and this she succeeded in doing in the guise of her maid. Her share in this transaction afterwards became known to the Government, and she was seized and sent to I^ondon, where she was imprisoned for a year. On her release, the ladies of London subscribed for her nearly ;^i,5oo. She was 24 years of age at the time of this adventure, and soon after her hbera- tion she married and resided in the Isle of Skye, where she died in 1790. At the left of the picture, on the floor, with a dagger resting on it, is a copy of the proclamation offering a reward for the capture of the Prince. In the engravings of this picture the printing on the proclamation is shown, but this was afterwards painted out by the artist, the document itself only being indicated. 112. WINTER. H. R. ROBERTSON.

Lord Clarendon was Chancellor under Charles II., and for many years his chief favourite, but during the war with Holland in 1667, when the Dutch Fleet sailed up the Thames, sunk the shipping, and bombarded the coasts, there was a great popular outcry against Clarendon's administration as being the cause of these disasters. Clarendon also excited the anger of the King by condenming the licentiousness of the Court, and when the Chancellor waited upon the King to seek his support, and reminded him of his long and faithful services, his majesty quitted the room without giving him any reply, and this was the last interview Clarendon had with him. In the picture we see the King approaching the gate of the garden, while Clarendon is descending the steps, and Lady Castlemaine, the King's mistress, with Lord Arlington, watch him from the balcony, delighted at his fall. The scene occurred at Whitehall Palace in 1667. Clarendon was banished from the kingdom, and died at Rouen in 1674. A smaller copy of this picture is in the National Gallery. 118. FLOWERS.

This imfortunate Lady (whose mother was niece of Henr}^ Vm.,) was at the age of 16, proclaimed Queen much against her o\ATi inclination, on the death of King Bdward in July, 1553, her ambitious father-in-law, the Duke of Northumberland, having induced the King to name her in his will the successor to the throne. The nation, however, decided on Mary, daughter of Henry VIII., as the rightful Queen, and she was accordingly proclaimed and crowned, the Lady Jane Grey having been only nominally Queen for nine days. On her entry into London, Queen Mary had Lady Jane Grey placed in the Tower, and she was brought to trial on Oct. 13th, when she was condemned to be beheaded or burnt at the Queen's pleasure. Her father, the Duke of Suffolk, having headed a rebellion in January, 1554, when a good deal of disaffection was displayed on accoimt of the Queen's betrothal to Philip of Spain , the Queen, to rid herself of a dangerous rival, had Lady J ane Grey beheaded in February, 1 5 54. vShe firmly resisted all the efforts made by the emissaries of Mary to induce her to change her faith. Three da3'^s before her execution, Feckenham, the Queen's Chaplain, engaged her in a learned disputation, from which he was obliged to retire discomfited. This is the finished sketch for a larger picture exhibited in the Royal Academy in 1868. 16 NEWTON MAPPIN BEQUEST— CONTINUED. 121. THE PROPOSAL. SIR J. EVERETT MILLAIS, R.A. Canvas 2 oin. H. i6in.W.

The ballad of " Auld Robin Gray " was written by Lady Anne Lindsay about 1772, and describes how Jenny's lover having gone to sea, she is pressed to marry Auld Robin Gray, which she consents to do under the impression that her lover is drowned. The scene in the picture is described in the following lines of the poem : My father urged me sair ; though my mother didna' speak, She look'd in my face till my heart was like to break ; So they gied him my hand, though my heart was at the sea. And Auld Robin Gray is a gudeman to me. This was the first picture by Faed exhibited in the Royal Academy. It was painted about 1850. 125. A STRAY SHOT. SIR E. LANDSEER, R.A., AND ROSA BONHEUR.

The span of the arch is about 90 feet, and the width of the bridge is 72 feet, which is divided longitudinally into 5 parts ; that is, into 3 streets or passages, and 2 rows of shops.

John Knox, both in public and private, often upbraided the Queen for her adhesion to the Roman Catholic Faith, and also for what he regarded as levity in her general conduct and habits ; and this he did in no measured terms. The interview portrayed in the picture is well described in the following passage from M. Crie's Life of Knox " : — " At these words the Queen began to weep and sob with great bitterness. The Superintendent, who was a man of mild and gentle spirit, tried to mitigate her grief and resentment ; he praised her beauty, accompHshments, &c. During this scene the severe and inflexible mind of the Reformer displayed itself : he continued silent and with unaltered countenance until the Queen had given vent to her feelings." This picture was exhibited in the Royal Academy in 1844, and it is referred to in Frith' s " Autobiography and Reminiscences." 18 XEWTOX MAPPIN BEQUEST •—CONTINUED. 136.

The incident represented is one that took place during the occupation of Cairo by the French in and about the year 1 799. Napoleon gave orders that French names should be carved on the principal towers and gates of the town, and here the name "Napoleon" is being carved by one of the French soldiers very much to the satisfaction of his comrades, whose rather ragged condition bears evidence to the great hardships suffered by the French army after the battle of Aboukir, which shut up Buonaparte in Egypt, cut off from all commimi- cation with France. Their feeling towards Nelson is shown by the figure chalked out on the lower part of the tower with the letters " Sir Nelson." The scene is on the wall looking over the city near to the Bab-en-Nasr, and to give additional effect to the proceedings the Sheikhs are compelled by Napoleon's order to be present. The picture was exhibited in the Royal Academy in 1884, and is figured in the " Art Journal " for the folloiving year. SIR FREDERICK T. MAPI'IX'S GIFT— OONITNUBD. 21 165. CONISTON LAKE. S. R. PERCY.

Cattle form the favourite subjects for this artist's work, and the present picture is an exceptionally good representation of his vigorous and life-like treatment of these animals. The lazy attitude of the group on the right — some resting their heads on their companions' backs, and others playfully butting one another, while all seem desirous of experiencing the cooling effects of the quiet weedy stream that meanders through their pastures — vividly suggests the atmospherical conditions of a hot summer's day. A comparison of this picture with Cooper's fine Cattle Picture (No. 174), as showing the different way in which these artists treat cattle, is interesting. 184. SHOEING FORGE. CHARLES FRERE.

Canvas ^oin.H. y^in.W. The view is taken near to the site of Charing Cross, where the river takes a decided bend, so that though the river appears to be running between the buildings on the left and right of the picture they are really both on the same side of it. On the right is Hungerford Pier, the site of the present Charmg Cross Station and Footbridge, and on the left of the picture is the Adelphi Pier, though both these piers are on the same side of the river. Across the river the Shot Tower stands out con- spicuously. The bridge in the middle distance is Waterloo Bridge, and the one beyond it Blackfriars Bridge, with the high dome of St. Paul's in the distance. The time is early morning, and the sky is brilliantly illuminated by rays of the rising sun reflected and coloured b}-- the clouds. The picture represents the river before the construction of the Thames embankment. 205. THE WRECK. E. DUNCAN. Signed and dated 1S49. Canvas 1 5/;/. H. 2iin. W. 206. SEA PIECE. J. WILSON.

" Towards the end of his busy, toil-worn life, occurred that well-known scene at Guildhall, when Baxter, then an old man, appeared before the notorious Chief Justice Jeffreys, accused of advocating sedition in his writmgs. It was in a commentary on the New Testament that the obnoxious words occurred. The scene was a remarkable one. Never had that imrighteous judge been more violent than when he tried Baxter. He did not scruple to term the great Puritan an old rogue, an old schismatical knave, an hypocritical villain ; and when the counsel for the defence alluded to Baxter's noble record, and how King Charles was willing to have conferred a Bishopric upon him, if he would have consented to conform, ' Aye,' said the judge, ' we know that, but w^hat ailed the old blockhead, the unthankful villain, that he would not conform ? Is he wiser or better than other men ? He hath been ever since the spring of the faction. I am sure he hath poisoned the world with his doctrine — a conceited, stubborn, fanatical dog ! ' As might have been expected in such a court, Baxter was condemned to a great fine and imprisonment, from which, however, after two years, he was released, and his fme remitted." — The Church of England, by Dr. Spence, Dean of Gloucester. 224.

For some years before Gainsborough's death these two great painters were estranged, Gainsborough haying been deeply offeiuk'd by Reynolds toasting him, at an Academy dinner, as the first landscape painter of the day, and thus entirely ignor- ing his great position as a portrait painter, in which branch of art some rivalry existed between the two. But in 17S8, when Gainsborough felt that he was dying, he sent for Sir Joshua Reynolds, and a reconciliation took place between them. 20 " Reynolds bends his dull ear to catch Gamsborough's fail- ing words, and grasps his hand in friendship — the one all benevolence and tenderness, the other all forgiveness. Gainsborough says : — ' His regret at losing life is chiefly his regret at leaving his art.' And his last words were : — ' We are all going to heaven and Vandyke is of the company.'

Lent by the National Gallery, A vast palace rises on the rocks to the left of the picture, with a terrace and steps leading to the sea. On the terrace are two figures, one holding torches to Hero and Leander who are parting on the margin of the Hellespont. On the right are 82 nymphs and cupids divSporting themselves in the spray of the breaking waves, near to the rocks. Beyond the turbulent blue waters, a red glow from the rising sun, the half moon seen above in a break of the storm clouded sky, the lunar halo denoting the coming storm. Leander, deeply in love with Hero, a priestess of Venus at Sestos, used to swim to her across the Hellespont from Abydos, and was drowned one tempestuous night. " The morning came too soon, with crimsoned blush Chiding the tardy night and Cynthia's warning beam ; But love yet lingers on the terraced vSteep, Upheld young Hymen's torch and failing lamp. The token of departure never to return — Wild dash'd the Hellespont its straited surge. And on the raised spray appeared L,eander's fate." 254a. WHALERS ENTANGLED IN ICE.— BOILING BLUBBER. J. M. W.

The artist has presented his subject as a whole, embracing the accessories to the greatest incident in the history of Christian- ity. A long ray of bright light streams from a rifted cloud, behind which the sun stands yet high, it being a little past the ninth hour of the day, and falls upon Jesus, who since the third hour had hung upon the Cross. The dense clouds, which brought " a darkness over the land " at the sixth hour, now creep off the sky. At a short distance from the Cross is a group of women, who bend before it, and to the left of these are some of the restless population of the city, who fling stones and quarrel amongst themselves. Nearer to the front is a dense crowd of the people driven back by threats and blows from the Roman soldiery. The great sweep of the architectural back- ground has an axis at the Cross, the walls recede behind it to the gate of the corner, and advance again to mc>^t the Gate of Judgment, proceeding onwards to the angle of the fortifica- tions, near which the labourers are at work upon the walls, building and repairing. Extending along the front of the picture is a line of a hundred or more figures expressing divers incidents. Right in the centre, clothed in golden armour, and riding upon a white horse, is Herod Antipas, Governor of Judaea, ordering the crowd to be dispersed. Close to him, and towards the right hand, is the mounted Centurion, whose servant Jesus restored to life. He is commanding gentle treatment for the swooning mother of Christ, introduced near the front, attended by St. John, Mary Magdalene, Martha, and other friends. In the foregroimd is seen, kneeling and wringing her hands, the woman whom Christ pardoned with the words, '* Go, and sin no more!" She wears a dress of yellow and purple. In front of the.se kneels a Nubian woman, offering water from a jar to revive Virgin Mary, Near this group is Joseph of Arimathea, offer- ing to a horseman money to redeem the body of the Saviour for burial in his own new tomb. In front of him is a group com- posed of those who have taken part in the Crucifixion it.self ; the soldiers, executioners, lictors, and others of that class. The first are wrangling for the garment without a seam ; one holds out the dice jecringly to another, who complains of the lot going against him, and is about to strike his taunting com- panion with his fist. Near the.se are the executioner and his assistants who bear the instruments of torture and death. One carries a ladder, nails m a basket, and a hammer ; the ropes are cast about bi'^ shoulders, and there is blood upon his shirt. Close to this grouj), still further to tlu- right, are two of 35 the false witnesses, kneeling, with writing materials in their hands, as if taking notes of what goes on, A wondering crowd is gathered about Veronica, as she displays the handkerchief which Christ gave to her after passing it over Plis own features, when she demanded of Him some token of remembrance. Fill- ing up the remainder of the canvas to the right is a gathering of Christ's followers, apostles, disciples, &c. Behind the first line of figures on this right hand side of the picture is the Centurion who was converted to Christianity when he "saw the earth- quake and those things that were done," his comrades of the legion roimd about him mocking and deriding him. Going now to the left of the picture from Herod on the white horse, there are two priests disputing about the application of the Law to the case of Jesus, and further on, a false prophet, wild and imperfectly clad, haranguing the mob. Near to him are a Hebrew and an Egyptian merchant, both seated upon their camels, eagerly chaffering upon a matter of trade. In front of these a bo}^ has taken a doll from a little girl, and therewith mimics the terrible scene that has just passed before his eyes, having crucified the toy. In the next group, extending to the extreme left, the artist has typified the parables of our Saviour, the figures representing " L,azarus and Dives," " The Prodigal Son," "The Widow who bestowed her mite," " The Labourer in the Vineyard," and a personation of " the turning water into wine " at Cana in Galilee. This completes the mass of figures filling the foreground of the picture. Behind are the buildings of Jerusalem. Of these the Gate of Benjamin betv/een two towers is on the left ; next to it a little lower down is the dome-shaped roof of Alexander's monument. The tall arcade is Herod's Amphitheatre, capable of holding 80,000 persons. The long lines of buildings with parallel walls that stretch near- \j from the Amphitheatre to where a gateway spans the street — (the gatev/ay being the arch now styled that of Ecce Homo, where Pilate is said to have presented the scourged Saviour to the people, and the street, the Via Dolorosa, or Road of Suffer- ing, traversed by Christ, between the Castle of Antonio and Calvary) is the Chariot and Horse race-course — the Hippo- drome. A little more to the right in the distant wall of the city, is the Gate of St. Stephen, or Sheep Gate, where the first martyr underwent his sentence. The tall mass of solid stone walls, seen above the Arch of Ecce Homo, is the Tower of Antonio. The Hill that stretches behind all this, is the Mount of Olives — on its lower portion is the Garden of Gethsemane, rear St. Stephen's Gate. Perched upon the levelled summit of Mount IMoriah, and encircled by its cloisters, is the Temple with all its splendid towers and chambers, much as Herod the Great built it. Lower down is the grand entrance to the Temple, and the bridge below it — also the work of Herod — connecting Mount INIoriah with ^Mount Zion, by crossing the ravine, or cleft, between them. Near this is the High Gate, or 36 Miph-Kad, where Jeremiah was tortured. Close to the en- trance of the Temple is the Armoury of David. The tower that rises up against the distant landscape, and looks do^vn the valley, is the Tower of Ophel, built originally by Manasseh, or by Jotham. Right up this valley, a pale gleam of light falls upon the water of the Dead Sea, which, in very clear weather, although (as the crow flies) about twenty -five miles off, may be discerned through that pure atmosphere, from the high places of Jerusalem. Beyond it are the Mountains of ]\Ioab, grey in the distance. More to the right still, and lower down, is a tower, denominated by Herod the Great, its builder, the Tower of Mariamne, after his unhappy wife. Then appear the Towers of Hippicus and of Phasaelus. The last, that nearest to Mariamne's Tower, named after Herod's brother, the former after his dear friend who Avas slain in war. The height of the Tower of Phasaelus was one hundred and twenty feet. It was the tallest building in all Jerusalem, and, like its companion towers, was formed of enormous stones, so skillfully joined together that their junctures could not be seen. The gate below the Tower of Mariamne is the Corner Gate, which was one of the boundaries set by the Lord for the extent of Jeru- salem within which there shoiild be "no more utter destruc- tion." Before the Avail, and below the Tower of Phasaelus, is the Pool of Hezekiah. Almost against the margin of the picture is the Tomb of David. Above all this mass of buildings rises the Hill of Evil Counsel ; so called because here is said to have stood the country house of Caiaphas, the High Priest, wherein, tradition reports, the bargain with Judas for our Saviour's betrayal was completed. 273.

" John Hickes, a non-conformist divine, and Richard Nel- thorpe, a lawyer, who had been outlawed for his share in the Rye House Plot, had sought refuge at the house of Alice, widow of John Lisle The same womanly kind- ness which had led her to befriend the Royalists in their time of trouble, would not suffer her to refuse a meal and a hiding place to the wretched men who now entreated her to protect them.

Canvas g6in.H. i4$in.W. Exhibited in the Royal Academy in 1894. Presented by Sir Frederick T. Mappin, Bart., M.P. An incident of the earlier days of the French Revolution, when the women armed themselves with various implements, and set out from Paris to Versailles where the National Assem- bly and Court were held. The mounted gun and arms were taken from the Hotel de Ville. Carlyle thus describes the scene in his " History of the French Revolution " : — " To 38 Versailles ! All women gather and go. Robust dames of the Halle, slim mantua-makers, assiduous, risen with the dawn ; ancient virginity tripping to matins ; the housemaid with early broom ; ail must go. No carriage lady, were it with never such hysterics, but must dismount in the mud roads^ in her silk shoes, and walk." 280. LILITH LEAVING THE GARDEN OF EDEN. W. CALDER MARSHALL, R.A. Plaster Figure. Exhibited in the Royal Academy in 1889. Presented by H. Calder Marshall. " Lilith, Adam's first wife, jealous of Eve, by aid of the ser- pent tempts her, then leaves the Garden with the serpent. She afterwards becomes the mother of the demons." — Legend of the Rabbins. 281. RETURNED FROM THE WARS. W. C. SYMONS. Canvas y2in.H. S4in.W. Presented by John Eadon, Esq. The scene is in the Barrack room of the ist Life Guards at Chelsea, where the men are preparing to celebrate Christmas. Some are putting up decorations, amongst which the word " Waterloo " is prominent. The group in the foreground con- sists of a returned woimded trooper, who, with his arm in a sling, is describing a hand-to-hand fight in w^hich he received his wound, making with his pipe the " head guard." Other troopers are listening, one of whom has just come in from duty in Queen's Guard uniform. It is a little bit of real barrack life, as witnessed by the artist. The men are all portraits. Some of them fought at Tel-el-Kebir, which is also noted in the decorations. 282. THE FARNESE BULL. Reproduction in Bronze. The original in the Naples Museum is hewn out of a single block of marble, and was discovered in 1547 in the Baths^;of Caracalla at Rome, and set up in the Palazzo Farnese, being removed to Naples in 1786. It is supposed to be the workj^of the brothers Apollonius and Tauriscus, of the Rhodian School, which flourished in the third Century, B.C. It represents the two sons of Antiope, Amphion and Zethus, avenging the wrongs of their mother by binding Dirce, who had treated her with the greatest cruelty for many years, to the horns of a wild bull. Antiope in the background exhorts them to forgiveness. Presented by Philip H. Ashberry, Esq. 283. MOORLAND CATTLE, HIGGAR TOR, FOX HOUSE, NEAR SHEFFIELD. W. H. PIGOTT. Signed. Water Colottr 2oin.

She was unable to accomplish her purpose, but Lady Ashton cut the ribbon asunder, and detached the broken piece of gold, which Miss Ashton had till then worn concealed in her bosom ; the written counterpart of the lovers' engage- ment she for some time Jiad had in her own possession. With a haughty courtesy she delivered both to Ravenswood, who was much softened when he took the piece of gold." — Scott. 46 332. LATHKILL DALE, DERBYSHIRE. YEEND KING. Canvas isiin.H, 2ol^in.W.
