CATALOGUE COMMITTEE. H. A. Grueber, Esq., F.S.A. H. Jenner, Esq., F.S.A. T. Humphry Ward, Esq. Secretary, LEONARD C. LINDSAY, Esq., PREFATORY NOTE. THE Committee of the Stuart Exhibition have every reason to con- gratulate themselves on the way in which their applications have been received by those who are fortunate enough to possess pictures and relics relating to a most interesting period in the history of these kingdoms. Their first duty and pleasure is to offer their most grateful thanks to all those who have so kindly responded to their call, and have rendered the Exhibition possible by intrusting their precious possessions to their care. It is impossible to exaggerate the debt of gratitude which the Committee owe to the Lenders of the objects of which this is the Catalogue. The scope and aim of the Exhibition is purely historical, and the intention has been to illustrate as far as possible by pictures, personal relics, coins and medals, seals, autographs, etc., the fortunes, good or evil, of that Royal House which played so great a part in the history of this country, especially during the important period of transition from mediaeval to modern times, and which, just two centuries ago, ceased to rule in Great Britain and Ireland. 6 Prefatory Note. The Committee have to thank Mr. F. G. Stephens for his valuable and copious notes on the pictures and on many of the personal relics, and Mr. G. Scharf, C.B., for his most kind assistance in the selection of the more important historical portraits. They also have to thank Mr. H. A. Grueber, Mr. H. Jenner, the Hon. Harold Dillon, Mr. Everard Green, and Mr. R. R. Holmes, respectively, for the portions of the catalogue relating to coins and medals, manuscripts and printed books, arms and armour, and miniatures, and for their general services in the classification and arrangement of the objects of exhibition. Thanks are also due to the Directors of the New Gallery, Mr. C. E. Halle and Mr. J. Comyns Carr, and its Secretary, Mr. J. W. Beck, for the hanging of the pictures and their cordial co-operation ; to Mr. E. R. Crump, Mr. W. St. John Hope, Mr. I. Spielman, Mr. C. H. Read, Mrs. H. A. Grueber, and Mrs. H. Jenner, for assistance in the arrangement of the Exhibi- tion ; and to Mr. Leonard C. Lindsay, the Secretary of the Committee, for his continued and valuable services in every department. The Com- mittee are also much indebted to Mr. J. M. Gray, Mr. George Seton, Mr. J. M. Howden, Hon. Sec, and other Members of the Scottish and Irish sub-committees, for important help in procuring objects for Exhibition. The Exhibition will remain open to the public till the 31st March, from 10 to 7 daily. TABLE OF CONTEMPORARY SOVEREIGNS OF ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND. Front the Fourteenth to the Nineteenth Century.

A sequence of imaginary portraits of the Kings of the House of Stuart, traditionally regarded as having been painted by GEORGE JAMESONE for Charles L, who, when he visited Edinburgh in 1633, was welcomed by the magistrates with an exhibition of portraits by this artist, to whom the King sat for a full-length portrait. According to the Black Book of Taymouth, as quoted by Mr. Bulloch in his Life of fameson, 1885, p. 92, Sir Colin Campbell employed the "Scottish Van Dyck " to paint sixteen portraits, and, later, nine more. Thus, "Item. The saide Sir Coline Campbell gave IO Exhibition of the Royal House of Stuart. untoe George Jameson, painter in Edinburgh, for King Robert and King David Bruysses, Kings of Scotland, and Charles 1st, King of Great Brittan, France and Ireland, and his Majesties Quein, and for nine more of the Queins of Scotland their portraits, quhilks are set up in the halles of Balloch, the sum of two hundreth thrie scor punds " Jamesone was a follower of Rubens and Van Dyck, and the first painter who worked in Scotland in a manner resembling that of the former master. He was much employed by the Scottish nobles ; many of his pictures are at Taymouth Castle, the seat of the Marquess of Breadalbane. Born in Aberdeen in 1 586, he died at Edinburgh in 1644, and was buried there in the Church of the Grey Friars. Mr. Bulloch, as above, catalogued one hundred and ninety of Jamesone's still extant pictures, which are nearly all in Scotland. The well-known apocryphal series of the kings of Scotland in the long Gallery at Holyrood Palace (no in number), was painted in 1684 by a Fleming named James de Witt. His contract with the Government to supply them on canvas in oil colours is still in existence. Lent by The Marquess of Lothian, K.T. 7, James III. King James III. appears to the waist, in three-quarters view to right, wearing a dark hat, with an enseigne, a dark mantle lined with white over a vest of cloth of gold. From a gold neck-chain hangs the badge of the Order of the Thistle. On the side is written, "jacobus 3 D. G. R. SCOTORUM." 14 X 10 in. Lent by F. Mackenzie Fraser, Esq., of Castle Fraser. 8. Two Wings or Doors of a Triptych. The centre wanting. Formerly in the Collegiate Church of the Holy Trinity, Edinburgh, founded in 1462 by Queen Mary of Gueldres, and demolished in 1848. Two separate leaves painted on panel prepared with gesso, each six feet ten inches by three feet eight inches. Ascribed to Hugo Van der Goes, circa 1473-6. (a) The Vision of The Holy Trinity to (d) Sir Edward Bonkil, Priest, Provost of the College 1 462- 1 496. (c) James III. of Scotland, 145 3-1488, and his Son, afterwards James IV. 1473-1513. {d) Margaret of Denmark, Consort of James III. Married, July, 1469. (a) The dexter outside wing. God the Father and God the Holy Ghost manifesting the dead body of God the Son. The Eternal Father is represented under the emblem of a man of co-equal age with His Eternal Son. He wears a red robe, and red mantle lined with green. The hair is long and is auburn. The beard is short and pointed. There is no crown. The Holy Ghost is depicted under the emblem of a nimbed white dove with wings outstretched, hovering over the head of the dead Christ, who is upheld by the west gallery.] Portraits. 1 1 hands of the Father. There is no crown of thorns. The wound-prints in the hands and feet are open, and with the right hand the world's Redeemer points to His riven side and closes the now bloodless wound. The Father is seated on a golden throne, on the dais or step of which lies a crystal orb of empire, divided into three by gold bands. At the back of the throne are two crystal pillars with gilt caps and bases, surmounted by crystals cut in facets. The sky above is painted to represent the after- glow of the going down of the sun, and a cumulus cloud of deep blue surrounds the whole picture, certain portions of which have at least once been repainted. (b) The sinister outside wing. Kneeling (in the South Transept of his Collegiate Church, and just outside the stone rood screen, on which the Annunciation and Coro- nation of our Lady are carved) is the figure of Sir Edward Bonkil, priest, first Provost of the Collegiate Church, Confessor to the Foundress, and donor of the Triptych. He is in the prime of life. He is clean shaven, and wears the tonsure, and has a fine linen surplice over his furred pelisse. His almuce of grey squirrel's fur hangs over his left arm and is admirably painted. His hands are joined in prayer, on the third finger of left is a gold ring, the large chaton of which is set with a ruby. Behind the Provost is an organ with seventeen pipes in front, set in a gilt wooden case, and standing on a dark wooden base at the entrance of the transept. In front of the organ, over the key board, is an open book bound in red, on which the first verse of the hymn, O Lux Beata Trinitas, is given, together with the plain chant notes. An angel with jewelled circlet and with green wings, white amice and alb, who is seated on an oak trestle stool on which is a shield charged with the Bonkil arms — azure, a chevron argent between three buckles or has the right hand on the key-board, and gives the Provost the note for intoning the hymn, whilst touching the Provost with the left hand as if to remind him that worship is due for the open vision vouchsafed to him of the Holy Trinity. Another angel with peacock green wings erect, amice and alb, stands on the floor of the Church working the bellows. (Maitland, in History of Edinburgh, gives exterior view of this Collegiate Church.) (c) Within a church, and kneeling under a cloth of estate, or traverse, of red colour, is the figure of James III., King of Scotland, attended by his son, afterwards James IV., who kneels behind him, whilst at his back is S. Andrew the Apostle, the heavenly patron of the Scottish kingdom. The king kneels in front of a trestle desk, covered with dark blue drapery, on which is an open illuminated Latin Book of Hours, supported by a gold-tasseled black cushion. His hands are joined in prayer, and thumb crosses thumb. Over a robe of red baudekin cloth with brown fur cuffs, is a mantle of liliac hue lined with ermine, over which is an ermine tippet sewn in narrow strips, and fastened by a triangular shaped jewel of great beauty, from which three large pearls depend. In the dexter corner of the picture at the top, are the arms and crest of Scotland ; the artist has omitted the double tressure in chief, thus giving more importance to the red lion of Scotland, which like the red lion of the crest, faces sinister instead of dexter. S. Andrew stands erect against his saltire cross made ot two rough trunks of trees, and wears a green coloured mantle over a black robe. With his right hand he places a goldsn gemmed crown, of exquisite design, on the king's head, and, in the other, holds an open book ; his head is bare, and is surrounded by a gold-rayed glory. Prince James, who was born March 17, 1471 — 2, is clad in a furred pelisse of dark stuff, over which is a mantle of scarlet figured damask lined with ermine, and his ermine tippet is of the same fashion as that of his father. The palms of the prince's hands are asunder, but the tips of the fingers and thumbs touch. 12 Exhibition of the Royal House of Stuart. The patterns on the carpet in the traverse, on the stone floor of the church, also the two cushions on which the king kneels, call for attention. (d) Under a green traverse, placed within a church, is the kneeling figure of Margaret of Denmark, Queen of Scotland. Before her is an open illuminated Latin Book of Hours, the book-marker in which claims notice. The book is placed on a gold-tasseled black cushion, which rests on a trestle desk draped in scarlet cloth, on which, in a lozenge, are the arms of Scotland, impaling : — quarterly, divided by the cross of Denmark — I, Sweden ; 2, Denmark ; 3, Norway ; 4, Sclavonia : over all, quarterly, 1 and 4 Holstein, 2 and 3 Sleswick, surmounted by Oldenburg. The hands of the queen are ringless, and joined in prayer ; the right thumb crosses the left. She wears over a dark blue robe a close- fitting bodice of red cloth of baudekin ; over which is an ermine-lined mantle of similar blue material as her robe, which, like the bodice, is ermine trimmed. Over the shoulders, and reaching in front as low as the waist, is a sort of yoke or pall of gold with gems. On her head, over a crepine, rich with pearls, is a jewelled crown. The hair is almost totally concealed, and drawn tightly off the face, and on a gold band, over the left ear, are the letters P N A C N , the meaning of which is at present unknown. The necklace of two rows of pearls, connected by oval- shaped gems, from which hangs a rich jewel, should be noted. The queen is attended by her patron saint, S. George, Our Lady's knight, and one of the Champions of Christendom, who stands in full armour on her train, over the armour falls the singular leather trimming resembling oak-leaves stitched on red cloth. His head and hands are, however, bare, and the former is surrounded by a gold-rayed glory. With the left hand he holds his lance, from which a pennon, party per fess argent and azure — the livery colours of our Lady — is unfurled, on which, in letters of gold, is his war cry — jhesv . maria. The cross of S. George is in chief. This figure has been attributed to SS. Knut, Olaf, and Eric. In Pinkerton's Iconographia Scotica, pub. in 1797, the subjects on two doors of the triptych have been badly engraved. Mr. David Laing, in 1857, published an account of these paintings, and says, " Hardly can any kingdom in Europe boast of a more noble Family picture of this early epoch." The panel with the Queen and S. George has been given in Shaw's " Dresses and Decorations," Vol. II. 77 X 37 in. Lent by Her Majesty the Queen, from Holyrood.. 9. James IV. (1488-15 13).

WEST GALLERY.] Portraits. *5 Son of Matthew Stuart, Earl of Lenox, grandson of Margaret, Queen of James IV. of Scotland by her second husband; born in England, where his father had taken refuge, 1546. In 1565, February 5, Mary Queen of Scots first saw him, and was married to him at Holy- rood, July 29 of that year, much to the disgust of Queen Elizabeth, who had proposed Lord Robert Dudley, afterwards Earl of Leicester, as a husband for her " sister " of Scotland. He was blown up with gunpowder in the house of Kirk of Field, near Edinburgh, February 9, 1567. Through his mother he was connected with fourteen kings or queens. This picture, being branded on the back of the panel with the "C" and crown of Charles I., appears to have belonged to that king. No portrait of Darnley is mentioned in Vanderdoort's catalogue of King Charles's pictures ; this work may nevertheless have been in one of the Scottish palaces. In the catalogue, by Chimnch, of King James's pictures in the custody of the Queen-Dowager, is "No. 1019, Henry Steward, Lord Darnley, when he was young, to the waste." " Henry Stewart, King of Scotland — Lord Darnley," was No. 962 in the same collection, which contained two other portraits of Queen Mary's husband. It appears to be a companion picture to the next portrait of Darnley lent by the same owner. On a piece of paper attached to the back of this picture is written: 31 May, 1639. Given to my Sovereign Lord the King by his Grace the Duke of Lennox (?). The peer alluded to was James Stuart, Duke of Lenox, who, in 1637, was married, by Laud, to the beautiful Lady Mary Herbert (born Villiers). He was created Duke ot Richmond in 1641. The Duke died in 1655. 27 X 21 in. Lent by Lord Bolton. 21. Henry, Lord Darnley. Lord Darnley in three-quarters length, half life-size, and nearly in full view ; the face and eyes are to the front ; the left hand holds the sword-hilt, the right hand is on the hip ; a yellowish white quilted jacket appears under a dark mantle and gathered close to the throat, ending at the neck in a ruff. Within a cartouche is Henricvs Stvart eivs nominis ftrimvs Dei gratia Scotorv Rex Lnterfectvs 7 0 Die Mesis Febrvari — An 0 Dni 1 567^ cv sors anis vw tvlit esse vigiti. Of his marriage and his demeanour at that time take the statement of the English ambassador (Randolph) to the Earl of Leicester, July 31st, 1565: "All honour that may be attributed to any man by a wife he hath it wholly and fully, all praise that may be spoken of him he lacketh not from herself, all dignities that she can indue him with are already given and granted. No man pleaseth her that contenteth not him, and what may I say more. She has given over unto him her whole will, to be ruled and guided as himself best liketh. She can as much prevail with him in anything that is against his will as your lordship may with me to persuade that I would hang myself. This last dignity out of hand to have proclaimed him King, she would have had it deffered until it were agreed by parliament, or had been himself twenty-one years of age, that things done in his name might have the better authority. He would in no case have it deffered one day, and either then or never." " Upon Saturday, at afternoon, these matters were long in debating, and, before they were well resolved upon, at nine hours at night, by three heralds, at sound of the trumpet, he was proclaimed King. This day, Monday, at twelve of the clock, the lords, all that were in this town, were present at the proclaiming of him again, when no man said so much as "Amen," saving his father, that cried out aloud, " God save his Grace ! " 1 6 Exhibition of the Royal House of Stuart. The same letter describes the marriage ceremonies of Darnley and Mary. This picture is branded with the mark of King Charles, as described in the note on the other portrait of Darnley, lent by the same owner (No. 20). It is presumed that they both came into the possession of the Powlett family through the third wife of the second Duke of Bolton, who was a daughter of the Duke of Monmouth. Panel 30 X 33 in. Lent by Lord Bolton. 22. Henry, Lord Darnley. He is shown nearly to the knees, standing, holding a glove in his left hand, wearing a black cap with a white feather, a close-fitting black jerkin grey hose, a sword and dagger.

(1542-1567.) A bust portrait in three-quarters view to left, the chestnut-coloured eyes look, with a smiling expression, towards the front. Her hair is a medium brown. She wears a white cap with a wired edge, and of the form since bearing her name, a large standing ruff trimmed with lace, a white bertha and a black dress. Above the head is written, " Maria D. G. Regina Scotorum." 14X10 in. Lent by F, Mackenzie Fraser, Esq., of Castle Fraser. 25. Mary, Queen of Scots. A small whole-length portrait of Mary, Queen of Scots, standing in full view, with her left hand on one arm of a tall chair covered with red velvet and golden fleurs-de-lis. The face is seen in three-quarters to left, her brown eyes looking at the spectator, light close- curled brown hair appears under a dark velvet cap. A long, close-fitting black gown, puffed, slashed, embroidered and set with jewels, being open in the front, shows a white under- dress ; white collar and cuffs ; green background. This picture is similar to an engra- ving in Montfaucon's " Monumens de la Monarchic Francaise," Paris, 1729-33, and described as " Marie Stuart reine d'Ecosse." See Archaeologia, Soc. Ant. London, for the current year. 1 1 X 7 in. Lent by Her Majesty the Queen, from Osborne. WEST GALLERY.] Portraits. 17 26. Mary, Queen of Scots. A bust, with features of the type represented in Mr. Philip J. C. Howard's picture (No. 29), wearing a similar hair-net, white ruff, a boddice embroidered with gold, and a red coat lined with ermine. 11 X 8 in. Lent by Sir John Stirling-Maxwell, Bart. 27. Mary, Queen of Scots, wearing the "Deuil Blanc." Queen Mary appears to the waist in three-quarters view to right ; the eyes, which are of a brownish hazel (or chestnut), turned to the front. She wears a close-fitting- French cap, open to reveal the close-curled light brown hair ; a long streamer is attached to the back of the cap. A wimple of semi-transparent lawn encloses the face from the ears, and, falling on the shoulders, allows us to see the flesh and dark dress within its folds, which are gathered in plaits below the chin. No jewels are worn. Portraits of this class are referred to under the title of " Le Deuil Blanc," because according to a custom which was not rare in that period, Queen Mary assumed white for mourning on account of the death, in his seventeenth year, of her first husband, Francis II. of France, December 5, 1560. Elizabeth of England is recorded as wearing white for mourning. This picture was in the collection of Charles L, and is thus included in Vander- doort's contemporary catalogue of that monarch's " Collection of Limnings," dated 1639 : — " No. 15. Said to be done by Jennet [Janet]. Item : Another. Like unto the aforesaid piece, more curiously done, of Queen Mary of Scotland, in her white mourning habit, in a black ebony frame, given to the King by the Lord Denby. 1 f. o.,o. f. 9." The " Another " was described thus : " No. 14. Item: A defaced picture of Queen Mary of Scotland, in her white morning habit ; given to the King by the Lord Marquis of Hamilton. 1 f. o. 9." These pictures were " in the King's Chair Room in the privy gallery " at Whitehall. They seem to be those mentioned in the catalogue of King James's pictures, which is signed by W. Chiffmch, Nos. 408 and 409. No. noiwas " Mary, Queen of Scots, at length," by " Jennet." There are several examples of " Le Deuil Blanc ;" see National Portrait Exhibition, 1866, No. 328. The original drawing on paper is in Paris (see No. 215) ; a similar one belonged to the Earl of Bessborough, and was engraved by Bartolozzi as a Holbein ! Brantome, when speaking of the " blanc atour " of Mary, admired with a sort of rapture the brilliancy of her complexion. Panel. 12 X 9 in. By Janet.

Hanging from her neck is a silver crucifix, evidently the same as in the " Memorial " portraits of the Queen, three of which are in this Gallery, lent by Her Majesty, the Earl of Darnley, and Blair's College (Nos. 38-40). Behind the figure is written, "Maria D. G. Scotorvm Regina, 1586, sEtatis sva 45." This date assigns the picture to the period of Fotheringhay. From the Hamilton Sale. 37 X 29 in.

Known as the " Carlton Type." A whole-length, standing, life-size figure, in three-quarters view to left, the hazel brown eyes looking at the spectator ; the right hand is on the arm of a chair ; the left hand holds white and red roses. Light brown hair, chestnut-coloured eyes. Clad in a tightly fitting, stiffened gown of rich red brocade, puffed at the shoulders, trimmed with scarlet, and edged with gold ; under this is a petticoat of cloth of gold, brocaded. From her fully jewelled girdle hangs a long rosary of brown beads mounted in gold, elaborately chased ; it sustains a pomander of the same metal. Behind to the left is seen a city, with church towers, &c. Several portraits ascribed to F. Zucchero, and said to represent Mary Queen of Scots, are in existence. It was long the custom to ascribe to Zucchero pictures for which no better name could be found, while they show more or less of Italian characteristics than could possibly have been painted at or near the unquestionable date of his visit. This picture belonged to Henry Boyle, Lord Carlton, secretary to Queen Anne. He be- queathed it to his nephew, Lord Burlington, the builder of Chiswick, whose daughter and heiress married William, Duke of Devonshire. The portrait seems to have been first known in 1725 at Carlton House, Pall Mall. It was afterwards at Chiswick, and was moved in recent times to Chatsworth. Vertue, who was employed by Lord Carlton to engrave it, expressed misgivings as to the correctness of the designation. Nevertheless he introduced a thistle surmounted by a crown on the flat back of the chair. 74 X 44 in. By F. Zucchero. Lent by The Duke of Devonshire, K.G. 35. MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS.

On the right of the figure is a representation in small figures of u Avla Fodringhamii" showing the queen blinded with a white handkerchief and kneeling with her head on the block ; her shoulders are bare ; she wears a red boddice and a black skirt ; her neck is bleeding from a blow of the axe, with which the executioner standing at her side is about to strike again ; he wears a short white apron. These persons are on the scaffold, which is draped with black ; two guards with halberds stand behind the scaffold ; two gentlemen, the Earls of Kent and Shrewsbury, with white rods in their hands and a third are at this part of the scene. At the other end of the scaffold a gentleman is writing in a note-book ; near him are four other gentlemen, two •of whom appear in great distress. Below this design is written in gold, as before, " Reginam sereitiss 1 " a Regvm filiam vxorem, et matrem, astantibvs conwiissariis et ministris R. ElisabethcE Camifex secvri percvtit atq vno et altero ictv trvcvlenter savciatce tertio ■ei capvt abscinditr Behind the large figure of the queen are two small figures of women dressed in black with white ruffs, conversing and lamenting the fate of their mistress the queen. These figures represent " Joanna Kenmethie " (Kennedy) and " Elizabeth Curie." This painting and Nos. 38 and 40 are called " memorial " pictures, and they belong to a class of portraits which seem to have been designed to commemorate the death of the queen. Another example of a similar kind is known to have been sold at Christie's many years ago, but it has not been traced to the present owner. The Queen's picture, which hangs as the centre of the group, embodies the same design, with minor differences as here described in the notes concerning them, as the others. The inscription on one of the other two conveys similar censure upon James I. to that expressed in this example. Here follows an account rendered to Burleigh by his agent, an eyewitness of the scene in the hall at Fotheringhay, who is probably represented by the figure making notes near the scaffold. The agent, after describing at length the preparations for the execution, and Mary's demeanour and approach to the hall, thus proceeds with his narrative : — " Then she began to kiss hir crucifix, and to cross hirself saying these wordes, 1 Even as Thy armes, oh, Jesu Christ, were spreadd heer upon the cross, so receive me into the armes of mercye.' Then the two executioners kneeled downe unto hir, desiring hir to forgive them hir death. Shee answered, ' I forgive yow with all my harte. For I hope this death shall give an end to all my troubles." They, with hir two weomen helping, began to disroabe hir, and then shee layde the crucifix upon the stoole. One of the execu- tioners tooke from hir neck the Agnus Dei, and shee layde hold of it, saying shee would give it to one of hir weomen, and withall, told the executioner that he should have monye for it. Then they tooke off hir chayne. Shee made hirself unready with a kinde of gladnes, and smiling, putting on a payer of sleeves with hir owne hands which the two executioners before had rudely putt off, and with such speed, as if shee had longed to be gone out of the worlde. " During the disroabing of this queen, shee never altered hir countenance, but smiling sayde shee never had such groomes before to make hir unready e, nor ever putt of [off] hir cloathes before such a companye. At lengthe unattyred and unapparelled to hir petticoat and kirtle, the two weomen burst out into a great and pittiful shrieking, crying, and lamentation, crossed themselves, and prayed in Lattine. The queen turned towards them : ' Ne cry vous,fay prome pur vous ; ' and so crossed and kissed them, and bad them praye for hir. Then with a smiling countenance shee turned to hir men servantes, Melvin and the rest, crossed them, badd them farwell, and pray for hir to the last. 22 Exhibition of the Royal House of Stuart. " One of the women having a Corpus Christi cloathe, lapped it upp three corner wise, and kissed it and put it over the face of hir queen, and pynned it fast to the caule of hir head. Then the two weomen departed. The queen kneeled downe upon the cushion resolutely and, without any token of feare of deathe, sayde allowde in Lattin the psalme, 4 In te, do77ii7te, conjido? Then groaping for the block, shee layde downe hir head, putting hir chain over hir backe with bothe hir handes, which, holding their still, had been cut off, had they not been espyed. 11 Then shee layde hirself upon the block most quietly, and stretching out hir armes and legges cryed out ; ' In inanus tuas. do mine, cotmnendo spiriium meumj 1 three or four times. " Att last while one of the Executioners held hir streightly with one of his handes, the other gave two strokes with an axe before he did cutt of [off] hir head, and yet lefte a little grissle behinde. Shee made very smale noyse, no part stirred from the place where shee laye. The Executioners lifted upp the head, and bad God save the Queen. Then hir dressinge of Lawne fell from hir head, which appeared as graye as if shee had byn three score and ten yeares olde, powled very shorte. Hir face much altred, hir lipps stired upp and downe almost a quarter of an hower after hir head was cut off. Then sayde Mr. Deane [Fletcher of Peterborough], £ So perish all the Queen's ennemyes."' In the two other versions (Nos. 38 and 40) of the subject which hang next to it, the figure of the queen differs in no important respect. The royal escutcheon occurs in the same place in each. In No. 38 the figure of St. Andrew appears in the badge of the Thistle hanging below the shield, his saltire cross only occurs in the example from Windsor. The inscription behind the head of Mary on the other versions are varied. At the foot of this canvas is written in gold letters "Prima qvoad vixit Col. Scot, parens et fvnd^ and as follows : — Sic fvnestuni ascendit tabvlatvm Regi?ia qvo7idam Galliarv et Scotia? florentis^a invicto sea pio A7ii77io Tyra777iide77i exprobrat et perfidia77i Fide77i Catholica7)i prqjitetvr, Ro77ia7iceq Ecclesice Se se77iper fvisse et esse fdia77i pala77i pla7teq testatvr. The same inscription, without the first line, is on the Queen's picture. In all three works a small crucifix hangs on Mary's breast.

The queen's brown hair is darker in the example before us, and her complexion is browner than in the others. In the execution-scene the guards are nine in number instead of two ; the inscriptions pertaining to this section are practically the same ; the like may be said for the other inscriptions behind and below the chief figure. The names of the female attendants are omitted in this version, of which the canvas has been enlarged at both sides. 85 X 55 in. Lent by The Earl of Darnley. WEST GALLERY.] Portraits. 23 41.

Three-quarters length, life-size figure, standing in three-quarters view to right; the eyes to the front ; the hands hang before the figure, the left one lying on the arm of a chair. On her right little finger is a ring tied by a cord to the wrist, the dark brown hair is drawn across the forehead. She wears a large ruff, a gown of white silk embroidered with flowers in natural colours and extended on a large wheel farthingale ; her bust is exposed. This Princess-Royal, eldest daughter of James I. and Anne of Denmark, was born at Falkland Palace, August 19, 1596, and, from childhood, was distinguished by her intelligence, fine character, and love for her brothers and sisters, her many accom- plishments, and sincere mind. She married Frederick V., Count Palatine of the Rhine, Elector and Duke of Bavaria and Silesia, on February 14, 1613, at Whitehall. This prince was a man of showy quality, whose weakness of will insured troubles for his country and family. The cost of the wedding was not less than ,£100,000. Retiring to his dominions and struggling to secure the title of King of Bohemia (in which dignity he was crowned at Prague, November 6, 16 19), but driven from the throne by the Emperor Ferdinand in November, 1620, he and his queen sought refuge in Lorraine, and later in Holland ; he died at Mayence, November 29, 1632, and she remained at the Hague educating her children, among whom were the Princes Charles Lewis, Rupert, Maurice, and Edward, Count Palatine, and the Princess Sophia, mother of George Lewis, who became George I. of England. Failing to secure the crown of Bohemia, she became, in the enthusiastic language of her admirers, among whom the first Earl of Craven was the most chivalrous and devoted, the " Queen of Hearts " Her title to this picturesque distinction was grounded on many acts, like her reply to her husband's general, Count Thurm, who, when her cause was hopeless in Bohemia, offered to defend the citadel of Prague to the last gasp, in order that she might reach a place of safety. " Never," she said, " shall there be more devastation than is necessary for my sake ; sooner would I die where I am than be remembered by a curse." She bore defeat and the sharp poverty attending her husband's expulsion from the Palatinate with admirable patience and dignity ; she was described as " reduced to the utmost beggary," and as "wandering frequently in disguise as a mere vagrant." In a caricature of the time she was represented as a beggar with a child slung to her back, while the king, her father, followed, carrying a cradle. After the failure of the Royal cause in England, most of her family joined Elizabeth at the Hague. After the Restoration she returned to England in May, 1661, and took up her residence at Lord Craven's then newly-built house in Drury Lane, whence, in February, 1662, she removed to Leicester House in Leicester Fields, where, aged 69, she died five months later. She is generally believed to have rewarded the devotion of Lord Craven by becoming his wife. He was fourteen years her junior ; a leading soldier of Gustavus Adolphus and Henry of Orange ; created, in 1627, Baron Craven, and by Charles II. Viscount and Earl of Craven. If soldiers fought for " The Queen of Hearts," men of letters were hardly less devoted to her service. Among these was Sir Henry Wotton, Provost of Eton, who thus addressed the following well-known verses to "his Mistress : — 26 Exhibition of the Royal House of S heart. " The Queen of Bohemia."

Esme Stuart, first Duke of Lenox, son of John Stuart, Lord of Aubigny, who was third son of John, third Earl of Lenox, was created by James VI. Earl of Lenox upon his uncle, Robert Stuart, sixth Earl, abandoning the title. The earldom was created into a dukedom 5th August, 1 581. In the following year, when the Ruthven conspiracy got the king into their power, the Duke of Lenox was expelled from Scotland. He retired to Paris, where he died 26th May, 1583, it is said, of anguish of mind and the fatigues of his journey. 27 X 22 in. Lent by The Earl of Home. 53.

Charles I., Henrietta Maria, and their Two Eldest Children. Whole length, life-size figures in a large chamber with columns and a curtain in the background. The king and queen are seated side by side facing the spectator and bareheaded ; he wears black coat slashed and laced with white, a rose-coloured mantle of satin, rose-coloured stockingr. and white shoes. The elder child stands at the king's right knee, wearing a coif and dark dress, and looking at the spectator. Near the king's foot is a black and white dog. The queen, dressed in an amber-coloured satin gown and white lace, holds" the baby dressed in white. This is a replica of the famous group now at Windsor, representing the king, queen, and their eldest children, Charles and Mary, afterwards Princess of Orange. The original was doubtless the first of Van Dyck's pictures painted immediately after his arrival in England in March or April, 1632 ; it was engraved by Baron, Cooper, Sir R. Strange, and F. A. Daniel ; at the sale of Charles I.'s pictures it was valued at and sold for ^150, as "The King, Queen, Prince and Princess." In Vanderdoort's Catalogue of the " King's Collection of Pictures" at Whitehall Palace, 1639, printed by Vertue, that original is named as " No. 1. Done by Sir Anthony Vandyke. Imprimis. The King and Queen, Prince Charles and Princess Maria, all in one piece ; intire figures so big as the life ; whereby in a landskip Westminster [is] painted, and one of the Queen's little dogs by, in a carved some part gilded frame, oi". 8. by 8. o.'" Not one, but two dogs are in the picture. It appears that in July, 1632, Van Dyck was paid " for one great piece of His Majestie, the Queen and their children, ^100." At this date Charles and Mary were the only children of the King. James, who, because of an inscription on the Windsor picture, has been supposed to be represented as the baby in the arms of Henrietta Maria, was not born till October 15, 1633. Vanderdoort's Catalogue affirms the fact as above, and is confirmed by the Catalogue of King James's Pictures, in which, with the same names, the picture appears as No. 173. The picture at Windsor is mentioned in Smith's Catalogue Raisonne, No. 224 ; it was exhibited at the British Institution in 1820. The Duke of Devonshire's loan is one of several versions of the queen's group. There was one in the Orleans Gallery which in 1792 was sold to Mr. Hammersley for 1000 guineas; and sold by him in 1804 to the Duke of Richmond for 1500 guineas. It is now at Goodwood, and was engraved by Massard, and was one of the Art Treasures, Manchester, 1857, No. 116. Another is at Chelsea Hospital. Lord Gal way has a version of the upper portion of the group, which he exhibited at Leeds in 186S, and at the Grosvenor Gallery in 1887, No. 20. The original sketch, in chalk, for this group belonged to Sir T. Lawrence. Smith mentioned a group of the King and Prince Charles standing by his knee ; it is a repetition of part of this picture. 111 X 82 in. By Sir A. Van Dyck.

This picture was sent to Bernini the sculptor in Rome, and a marble bust was made from it ; but was destroyed in the fire at Whitehall Palace in 1691. The picture itself was purchased out of the Bernini Palace at Rome by Mr. Irvine for Mr. W. Buchanan about 1796, and sold by Mr. W. Wells in 1822 to the king for 1000 guineas. Bernini is said to have expressed an opinion on first seeing the portrait that it was the contenance of one doomed to misfortune. Engraved by W. Sharp. 32 X 39 in. By Sir A. Van Dyck. Lent by Her Majesty the Queen, from Windsor. 70. Henrietta Maria, Queen of Charles I. (Aged.) A three-quarters length, life-size figure, standing, the face nearly in three-quarters view to left • her hands are in front, and in the left hand is a book. She wears a black lace head-tire, a falling white collar and cape. On the edges of the book is written " Advantage of Death." The face is much worn and faded, with a melancholy expression. Henrietta Maria of France was a daughter of Henry IV. and Mary de Medici, born November 28, 1609 ; she was married by proxy at Paris, to Prince Charles of England, May 11, 1625, being then but sixteen years of age. It is said that on meeting the King for the first time " Charles, surprised to find her taller than he expected, cast his eyes upon her feet, as if suspecting that she had made use of artificial means to improve her stature. Henrietta, with all her native quickness, perceived what was passing in the King's mind. She immediately raised one of her feet and pointed to the shoe : — ' Sir/ she said, ( I stand upon mine own feet. I have no helps of art. Thus high I am, and am neither higher nor lower/ She is nimble and quiet, black-eyed, brown-haired, and, in a word, a brave Lady, though perhaps a little touched with sickness " (Ellis's Origi?ial Letters, First Series, iii. 197). The next passage illustrates the course of many of her majesty's troubles, Mr. Mead wrote to Sir Martin Stuteville June 25, 1625 (as above, p. 200) and, having referred to the High Mass then lately performed at Denmark House, stated " The Chapel goes on again. She hath twenty-nine priests ; fourteen of them Theatines, and fifteen Seculars ; besides a Bishop, a young man under thirty years old." Henrietta's WEST GALLERY.] Portraits. 3i French entourage soon offended Charles. He wrote to the Duke of Buckingham, then in Paris, November 20, 1625 : — " Steenie. I writt to you by Ned Clarke that I thought I would have cause anufe in short tyme to put away the Monsers, ether by [their] atemting to steale away my wyfe, or by making plots with my owen subjects. For the first I cannot say certainlie whether it was intended, but I am sure it is hindered ; for the other, though I have good grounds to belife it, and am still hunting after it, yet seing daylie the malitiousness of the Monsers, by making and fomenting discontentments in my wyfe, I could tarie no longer from adverticing of you, that I mean to seeke for no other grounds to easier my Monsers, having for this purpose sent you this other [second] letter that you may, if you think good, advertice the Queene Mother with my intentions, for this being an action that may have a show of harshness I thought it was fitt to take this way, that she to whome I have hade manie obligations may not take it un- kyn lie." {Letters, as above, p. 210.) Charles bore "with the Monsers" for some time longer. On July 5, 1626, Mr. J. Pory wrote to Mr. M. Mead. " On Monday last about Three after Noone, the King passing into the Queen's side [of St. James's Palace], and finding some Frenchemen her servents irreverently dauncing and curvetting in her pre- sence, tooke her by the hand and led her into his lodgings, locking the door after him, and shutting out all save onely the Queen." Lord Conway called forth the French clergy, and ordered them to depart the kingdom. " The Bishop stood much upon it that being in the nature of an Ambassador he coulde not goe unlesse the King his master should command him ; but he was tolde againe, that the King his master had nothing to doe here in England, and that if he were unwilling to goe, England would find force enough to conveye him hence/' . . . "the Bishop," "had so muche power of conferring Orders and dispensing Sacraments, Oathes, &c, as the Pope could give, and so by consequence was a most dangerous Instrument to worke the Pope's ends here" (as above, p. 229). The French in the queen's lodgings were with equal peremptoriness commanded to go to Somerset House till Charles's pleasure about them was known. Upon this " The women howled and lamented as if they had been going to execution, but all in vaine, for the Yeomen of the Guard by the Lords appointment thrust them and all their country-folks out of the queen's lodgings, and locked the doors after them. It is said also that the queen, when she understood the designe, grewe very impatient, and brake the glasse windowes with her fiste ; but since, I hear, her rage is appeased, and the King and shee, since they went together to Nonsuche, have beene very jocund together" (as above, p. 239). Shortly afterwards not less than ^1,100 in money, and ,£20,000 worth of jewels were distributed among the French priests, women, and servants of many degrees. Nevertheless they still lingered, but were finally compelled to leave Somerset House, sent to Dover, and thence conveyed to France. The strong temper of Henrietta Maria was often manifest, but never with consequences more fatal than when while Charles was hesitating to arrest the five members o f the House of Commons, who had, practically, set him at defiance, " his heart failed him when the morning came. He went to the queen's apartments early, and finding Lady Carlisle with her, led Her Majes^y into her closet, and there, having put to her all the hazards of the attempt, and all its probable consequences, declared he must abandon it. Whereat the queen, no longer able to control her passion, violently burst out, ' A lies / Poltron! Go pull these Rogues out by the ears, ou ne me renvoyez jamais ! ' Without replying, the king left the room." He attempted to arrest the members of Parliament (Haselrig, Pym, Hollis, Hampden, and Strode), and failed ruinously. 34 X 29 in. By Claude le Fevre.

The jewels with which her dress is fastened consist of expanded golden wings between which are dark stones. Many of Van Dyck's portraits of this queen attest the frequency with which she wore these ornaments, and indicate that she removed them from a dress of one colour — white, rose, or blue (like that before us) — as she changed the gowns. 49 X 36 in.

(see the note on her portrait, No. 51) with extraordinary splendour, at great cost to James, and with disastrous consequences. Weldon referred to the troubles attending the chief adventure of the Palsgrave Frederick in accepting the crown of Bohemia, which the Protestant party in that country offered to him. His leadership of the Protestants in Germany, his great wealth, alliance with England, the affections of his people, and even his romantic spirit, but, most of all, the taunts of his wife, Elizabeth, who while he wavered in the matter, cried " You were bold enough to marry the daughter of a King, and you hesitate to accept a Crown]' 1 decided his doubts most unfortunately. They forced her in after life to reproach herself bitterly as the cause of all their troubles and his ruin. He " accepted the fatal gift " and was crowned at Prague, November 6, 1619, amidst great rejoicings ; on the 18th of December following, Rupert, third son of the " Queen of Hearts," was born ; before he was out of his nurse's arms, his parents, a ruined pair, fled from Prague, defeated by the Imperial and Roman Catholic troops, and did not stop, although it was distant one hundred and twenty miles, till Frankfort-on-the-Oder was reached. A fugitive in the snow, he was thenceforth styled the " Winter King," one such season having exhausted his sovereign authority. James took no effectual steps in behalf of his daughter; the Palatinate. was abandoned to war, and became the battlefield of armies the most cruel, under Mansfield, Tilly, Christian of Brunswick, and Gustavus Adolphus. Frederick's states and his electoral seat were given to Maximilian of Bavaria, and he died at Mayence, November 29, 1632. 29 X 23 in. Lent by Major-General H. F. Davies. 76.

She wears a red gown slashed with white, puffed, and embroidered with silver, in the fashion of about 1620, likewise a white apron and a lace collar ; her pale yellow hair is in ringlets. This is supposed to be the only portrait of the princess, seventh child of the king, who was born after Elizabeth, who died at Carisbroke in 1650, and before Henrietta Anne, "La belle Henriette," of Orleans, whose portraits are in this Exhibition.

Bare-headed, hair in ringlets. A mantle of dark tissue, embroidered with gold, hangs from her shoulders, and is retained there by a string of large pearls crossing her figure. Mary, Princess Royal of England, eldest daughter of Charles I. and Queen Henrietta Maria, was born at St. James's Palace, November 4, 1631, and baptized on the same day by Laud, Bishop of London. On May 2, 1641, she was affianced to Prince William of Orange, and the event was admirably commemorated by Van Dyck when he painted the two children (she being ten and he fifteen years old) in a group at full length, now at Amsterdam, the prince holding her hand, on which is a betrothal ring. Van Dyck painted her in the groups enumerated in the note on Lord Crawford's picture of Charles 11. when young. Her mother, flying from England in February, 1642, took the Princess Mary to Holland, where she lived happily with her husband, who, dying October 1650, left her a widow of nineteen years old. Her son, afterwards William III. of Great Britain and Ireland, was born November 4, 1650, after his father's death. She returned to England at the Restoration, when Pepys boasted of kissing her hand, and died of smallpox at Whitehall, December 24, 1660. She was buried in Henry VII. 's Chapel. " Mr. Edward Pickering told me [Pepys, May 16, 1660] in what a sad poor condition for clothes and money the King [Charles II. just before the Restoration] was, and all his attendants, when he came to him first [at the Hague] from my Lord [the Earl of Sand- wich], their clothes not being worth forty shillings the best of them. And how overjoyed the King was when Sir J. Greenwille [Grenvile] brought him some money; so joyiul. that he called the Princess Royal and Duke of York to look upon it, as it lay in the portmanteau, before it was taken out."

Henrietta Anne, often called " La Belle Henriette," youngest daughter of Charles I. and Queen Henrietta Maria, was born at Bedford House, Exeter, June 16, 1644, when the troubles of her father were already indicating catastrophe. When she was only fourteen days old she was, on the flight of her mother, entrusted to the care of Anne, Countess of Morton, one of the famous beauties of the time, who, in 1646, seeing the King's affairs becoming daily worse, withdrew her charge to France in the disguise of a poor French servant ; the two landed after a distressing voyage and in much alarm. They then started from Ostend on foot, and the event induced Waller to write : From armed foes to bring a royal prize, Shows your brave heart victorious as your eyes. If Judith, marching with the general's head, Can give us passion when her story's read ; What may the living do, which brought away Though a less bloody, yet a nobler prey ? The Queen and her daughter, according to De Retz, lived in Paris for. a time, in poverty so deep that they were forced to lie in bed together in bitter weather, because they had no money to buy coals. The young princess, nevertheless, at a later time, made a brilliant impression on the French court, and in 1660 she was in the zenith of admiration. Louis XV. himself danced with her, and professed to be her adorer. Pepys saw her when in London, when she returned to England at the Restoration, and, on November 22, 1660, thus wrote of her : " The Queen [Henrietta Maria] is a very little, plain old woman, and nothing more in her presence in any respect or garbe than any ordinary woman. The Princesse [Mary] of Orange I have often seen before. The Princesse Henrietta is very pretty, but much below my expectation ; and her dressing of herself with her hair frized short up to her eares did make her seem so much the less to me. But my wife standing near her with two or three black patches on, and well dressed, did seem to me much handsomer than she." In 1660 she left England with her mother to be married to the voluptuary Philip, Duke of Orleans, only brother of Louis XIV., who was much older than the charming bride of seventeen. The wedding was celebrated with great splendour March 31, 1661. She lived very unhappily with her husband, and it has often been asserted, and was never disproved, that she died of poison administered in succory water at his instance, on June 30, 1670, leaving three children, of whom Maria married Charles II. of Spain, Anna Maria married Victor Amadeus, Duke of Savoy, foundei of the Kingdom of Sardinia. The male line of this king ended in 1824, on the death of Victor Emanuel I. whose daughter Beatrice married Francis IV., Duke of Modena ; her son Francis V., Duke of Modena, became in 1840 the Heir of Line of the Stuarts, and was succeeded in 1875 by his niece, Mary Theresa Henrietta Dorothea, wife of Prince Ludwig of Bavaria, son of the Regent Luitpold, the present Heiress of Line of King Charles I. At the time of the death of Victor Emmanuel L, Lord Liverpool, writing to Canning on the question of court mourning, says : " The Sardinians are all relations, and there are those who think that the ex-king was the lawful king ct 4Q Exhibition of the Royal House of Stuart.

Miniatures of her are well known and, more than any of the large portraits, suggest the peculiar gaiety and brilliant character of her beauty. (See C. J.

Pepys under date 21-22 April, 1661, writes : " All the way is so thronged with people to see the triumphall arches that I could hardly pass for them. It is impossible to relate the glory of the day (22 April) expressed in the clothes of them that rid, and their horses and horse-clothes. My Lord Monk rode bare after the king and led in his hand a spare horse as being Master of the Horse. The King in a most rich embroidered suit and cloak, looked most noble.

Three-quarters length, life-size standing figure in three-quarters view to left ; staff in extended right hand, left hand on helmet in front. Dark brown wig, breast- plate, brown breeches, sleeves embroidered in lines. Prince William ot Orange, of the House of Nassau, son of Frederick Henry the Stadtholder, was born in 1626, and on the 2nd of May, 1641, was affianced to Mary, Princess Royal of England, eldest daughter of Charles I., she being ten and he fifteen years of age. Principal Baillie wrote : " On Sunday, in the King's Chapel, both the queens, Maria de Medici of France, and Henrietta Maria of England, being present at service, the Prince of Wales (afterwards Charles II.), and the Duke of York led in the Princess Mary to the chapel, convoyed with a number of ladies of her own age, of nine or ten years, all in cloth of silver. The Prince of Orange went in before the Ambassadors and his Cousins of Tremmul and Nassau. The king gave him his bride. Good Bishop Wren [of Norwich] made the marriage. At night, before all the Court, they went to bed in the Queen's chamber. A little after, the King and Queen bade the bridegroom goodnight as their son ; he, as it was appointed, arose, and went to his bed in the King's chamber." These rejoicings occurred in the short time between the sentence and execution of the great Earl of Strafford. See Evelyn's Diary under the date. On his father's death in 1647, Prince William was elected Stadtholder of Holland. He was a man of courage and enter- prise ; in 1650, attempting to seize Amsterdam in order to make himself absolute, he was foiled and died, not without suspicion of poison, but, it was reported, of small-pox, November 6th in the same year, leaving his widow, Mary of England, pregnant of a son, born November 14, 1650, who, as William III., became king of Great Britain and Ireland.

Life-size three-quarters length standing figure, as St. Catherine, seen in three-quarters view to left ; face looking up to right, holding palm and broken wheel ; white satin dress and grey scarf. See No. 120, the original picture, which is full length, and with winged cherubs' heads. This picture represents the queen in the character of St. Catherine, a mode in which she caused herself to be painted at whole length by Huysmann, as engraved by W. Sherwin and R. Tompson. This portrait was painted for Lord Clifford of the " Cabal." The earrings here depicted were given to him by Queen Catherine, and are still preserved at Ugbrooke, Chudleigh, 'seat of the owner of this painting. For the Queen and her portraits, see Mr. Cleland's picture, No. no, and Mr. Stephens's piece of beadwork, No. 826, in the latter of which she appears with her royal consort in the Portuguese costume and coiffure worn on her arrival in England, 1662. In the catalogue by Chiffinch of King James's pictures, No. 1 191 is the " Queen-Dowager, half-length," marked as by Lely, and " unfinished." R. Gay wood's print of this lady, " taken from the original as it was presented to Don Francesco de Mello, ambassador of Portugal in London," was doubtless from the picture presented to Charles as a sort of voucher of the beauty of the bride which her parents, then not long established on the throne of Portugal, sent for the purpose to London.

Life-size, three-quarters length figure, seated, face to right ; right hand on a queen's crown ; the left hand partially covers her bust with a scarf of tissue ; purple robe, lace, blue velvet mantle lined with ermine ; pearl ornaments ; hair in short ringlets. This princess, daughter of John IV. of Portugal and Eleanora de Guzman, was born in 1638 ; married, at Portsmouth, after long negotiations about her dowry, to Charles II. on the 2 1 st May, 1662, by whom she was, after a short time, neglected and treated with great cruelty. After the King's death she resided for some time at Somerset House, and on the Upper Mall at Hammersmith. In March, 1693, she returned to Portugal, of which kingdom she, on the retirement of her brother, Pedro II., in 1704, became Regent ; she died December 31, 1705, aged 67. There are various descrip- tions of her person, including one which stated that, when she stood up after sitting, she appeared to have no legs, and Evelyn's, which said that " The Queen arrived [at Portsmouth] with a train of Portuguese ladies in their monstrous fardmgals and guard- infantas, their complexions olivander, and sufficiently unagreeable. Pier Majesty in the same habit, her foretop [the lock of hair on her forehead] long and turned aside very strangely. 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 ; for the rest lovely enough." Clarendon said, " The Queen has beauty and wit enough to make herself agreeable to him [the King] ; and it is very certain that, at their first meeting, and for some time afterwards, the King had very good satisfaction in her." Stoop, Lely, Wissing, and Huysmans painted various portraits of Catherine of Braganza, some of which have been engraved.

Mary Beatrice Eleonora d'Este, daughter of Alphonso IV., Duke of Modena, born October 5, 1658, was the adopted daughter of Louis XIV. of France, who paid her a dowry of ,£200,000 ; married by proxy at Modena to James, then Duke of York, September 30, 1673, she being not yet fifteen years of age ; arrived in England November 21 following. u The facts that the Duke's proposals had been accepted," says Defoe, "and his having been actually married, were announced to James at the same moment." " The news came on Sunday night to the Duke of York that he was a married man ; he was talking in the drawing-room when the French Ambassador brought the letters in, and told the news : the Duke turned about and said, ' Then I am a married man.' It proved to be the Princess of Modena ; for it was rather expected to be Canaples' niece." The young bride was extremely beautiful, and distinguished by the elegance of her figure, her fair skin, and dark and lustrous eyes which were described by Lord Lansdown as — Those radiant eyes whose irresistless flame Strikes envy dumb, and keeps sedition tame. NORTH GALLERY.] Portraits. 47 After five children, Catherine, Charles, Isabella, Elizabeth and Charlotte had been born to her, the birth of Prince James Francis Edward (James III., by some called the " Old Pretender," and the " Chevalier de St. George ") took place at St. James's, June 10, 1688. Soon after the news had reached London that William of Orange had landed at Torbay, the unhappy queen, on the morning of December 7, 1688, carrying her infant [Prince James] in her arms, stole down the Privy Stairs at Whitehall to the river-side. The principal fear of the fugitives was that the cries of the baby should attract the attention of the guards. Mary was handed into a small boat, the night was extremely dark, with much wind and torrents of rain, and the river was greatly swollen. By the gallant soldier, Count de Lauzun, who was in charge of the party, a coach had been ordered to meet the fugitives at Lambeth, but it did not soon appear. " During the time she was kept waiting, she took shelter under the walls of an old church (the existing but much 'restored' St. Mary's) at Lambeth, turning her eyes, streaming with tears, sometimes upon the prince, un- conscious of the miseries which attend upon royalty, and who upon that account raised the greater compassion in her breast, and sometimes to the innumerable lights of the city, amidst whose glimmerings she in vain explored the palace in which her husband was left, and started at every sound she heard from thence " From Lambeth the queen was conducted by land to Gravesend. She escaped to France. During the life of her husband Mary of Modena, that is till September 16, i/Qi, resided at St. Ger- mains, and took part in many plans for James's reinstatement on the throne. In 1692 the Princess Louisa, whose portrait is in this gallery, No. 169, was born, and proved one of the most beloved of children ; her death of small-pox, May 14, 17 12, at nineteen years of age, was a cruel loss to Mary, of whom, after that event, not much has been recorded. She died at St. Germains, May 7, 17 18, aged sixty. In the original frame, 48 X 38 in. 122. James, II. and VII., when Duke of York. Half-length, life-size figure.

The Prince James Francis Edward and his young bride are kneeling side by side at a priedieu covered with red, and placed near the middle of the design. He is in the act of placing a ring on her finger. The Bishop of Monteflasconi (Sebastian Pampilius Bona- ventura), specially appointed for that purpose by the Pope, Clement XL, is performing D 2 52 Exhibition of the Royal House of Stuart. the ceremony ; he is standing on the step of the altar and attended by priests ; an acolyte kneels, holding the service-book, at the side of the prelate. The bridesmaid and other ladies and several gentlemen stand or kneel behind the wedded pair. On the other side are an ecclesiastic and two laymen, spectators. This ceremony was performed at Rome, September I, 17 19. This picture and the companion work, No. 184, which is by Leone Ghezzi, were painted for the Prince and presented by him to the Bishop of Montefiasconi, though they appear to have been for a time in the palace of the Cardinal York. They remained in possession of the prelate's family, hanging in the Grand Saloon of the old Bonaventura Palace at Urbino. Gradually this ancient family died out, and, finally, when Olimpia and Ottavia, co-heiresses and last of the race, divided the remaining property, nearly all their art-possessions were sold. The pictures were bought in 1 845 by the eighth Earl of Northesk and brought to Scotland. Both contain portraits of the persons present at the respective ceremonies.

A life-size, three-quarters length figure to left, in an oval ; low blue velvet dress, open corsage, with four jewelled clasps, cloth of gold mantle edged with ermine. This portrait of Princess Maria Clementina, wife of Prince James Francis Edward, has been at Hawthornden for a long time, and with it the other relics lent by the same owner. Of their history nothing more is known. She was a daughter of Prince James Sobieski (eldest son of John, King of Poland, the Deliverer of Vienna), and was married by proxy at Bologna, May 28, 17 19, and afterwards at Rome, September 1, she being then only seventeen years of age and of a romantic, impressionable temperament. It had been one of the fancies of her childhood that she was destined to become Queen of England, and she was always styled so by her playmates. When Prince James was induced to take a wife she, having an immense dowry, a most amiable disposition and great beauty, was named as one of the most eligible brides in Europe. As the English Government desired, it is said, to prevent the Prince from marrying at all, their agents opposed every proposal made in his behalf. Private negotiations were there- fore conducted, and Charles Wogan, an Irish gentleman, was employed to solicit the hand of the Princess ; he said to her: " Hitherto you have enjoyed only an imaginary 54 Exhibition of the Royal House of Stuart. title. I am now come to offer you a real one." The princess and her parents eagerly consented to the match, and Wogan was entrusted with the lady in order that he might conduct her privately to Bologna, where Prince James was then sojourning. Soon, however, the secret treaty which had been made in Poland was known in Vienna, and at the instance of the English ambassador there the travellers were arrested at Innsbruck, and confined in a convent of that city. Prince James was furious at hearing how his bride had been treated, and he agreed to Wogan's proposal that she should be released by stratagem. False passports were procured, and being disguised as a male servant attending a Mrs. Misset, Clementina, on a dark and cold night in April, 17 19, passed out of the convent. The young girl and her guides traversed Tyrol and the Venetian territories in disguise, and after much fatigue reached Bologna on the 2nd of May. James was then at Madrid, and the bride was so eager to see her spouse that, not without difficulty, she was prevented from following him to that capital. When the marriage was complete he struck a medal to commemorate this achievement, and it bore the motto " Deceptis custodibus, 17 19," with a chariot in full speed. The happiness of the pair was very brief. " The Queen," wrote Lockhart of Carnwath, "was jealous of an amour ; twixt the King and Lady Inverness ; who, with her husband, treated the Queen so insolently, that she could not bear it, and was obliged to retire." See The Pretenders and their Adherents, 1883, by J. H. Jesse, pp. 55-7. She became the mother of Princes Charles Edward and Henry Benedict, Cardinal York, and died at Rome in 1735. 29 x 24 in.

There were also seven cardinals, and, of the Prince's entowage, the Duke of Perth, the Earls of Mar, Inver- ness, and Dunbar ; the cardinals included Paolucci and Barberini, in the name of the Pope; Gualtieri, as "Protector of England" ; Sacripranti, as " Protector of Scotland" ; Impe- riali, as "Protector of Ireland"; Ottoboni, as "Protector of France"; Aquaviva, as Minister of Spain ; Panfili, as Senior of the Cardinal Deacons ; and Albani, as Camer- iengo. The Bishop of Segni, as titular "Archbishop of Wales," is likewise represented, with Falconieri, the Governor of Rome. The identification of the portraits has been made difficult by the loss of the key to the design. The present owner is now endeavouring to complete the catalogue of persons in the picture. 95 X 138 in. By P. L. Ghezzi. Lent by The Earl of Northesk. 185.

Life-size, three-quarters length figure in full view, open bust ; head in three-quarters view to left ; white rose in dark brown hair. Eyes to the front ; red tartan gown, white breast knot, blue scarf. In the background of this famous lady's likeness is a curious Latin inscription signed " W. Robertson," and referring to the escape of Prince Charles Edward from his pursuers while in the disguise of " Betty Burke," the supposed maid-servant of Flora Macdonald, in which character he travelled from South Uist and encountered much fatigue and many dangers. Hugh Macdonald of Armadale, who was commanding a party of militia ordered out to capture the Prince, and who was the stepfather of Flora, finding she had been locked up in a guardhouse while seeking a disguise for the fugitive, ordered her release, and furnished passes for her, Niel Mackechan, and "Betty Burke." At the same time he wrote to his wife recommending " Betty " for service as " an Irish girl, who, she tells me, is a good spinster. If her spinning pleases you, you may keep her till she spins all our lint; or, if you have any wool to spin, you may employ her. I have sent Niel Mackechan along with your daughter and Betty Burke to take care of them." Flora was the daughter of Macdonald of Milton in South Uist, who lived with her stepfather at Armadale, as above. The best narrative of his adventures is that of Mackechan, published in the New Monthly Magazine, 1840. O'Neal, Charles's companion, furnished another record. The Prince was described as presenting a tall ungainly figure in a " flowered linen gown, a light-coloured and quilted petticoat, a white apron, and a mantle of dun camlet, made, after the Irish fashion, with a hood." While in the boat in which he left the island he sat by the side of his brave protectress, singing gay ballads and telling stories of foreign adventure. 62 Exhibition of the Royal House of Stuart. After many perils the party landed atRaasay, an island possessed by one of the Macleods, who had fought at Culloden, and was a zealous partisan of the Stuarts. Macdonald of Kingsburgh, a factor of Sir Alexander Macdonald, of Kilbride, went to meet the Prince and found him in the form of one " dressed in very ill-fitting woman's attire, who came towards him brandishing a thick stick." "Are you Macdonald of ■ Kingsburgh ?" said the strange person suspiciously. At Kingsburgh's house, his daughter, seven years old, rushed into the room and announced that " her papa had brought home the most odd, muckle, ill-shaken up wife she had ever seen." See The Life and Times of Prince Charles Stuart, 1875, by A. C. Ewald, ii. chapters 2 and 3. The sheets in which Charles Edward slept at Kingsburgh's house served as the grave-clothes of the so-called "Lady Kingsburgh," his wife, and Flora Macdonald. He continued to wear the dress of " Betty Burke " until, reaching a wood near Portree, he changed that attire for a Highland dress, and the discarded clothes were given to Mr. Macdonald, who subsequently burnt them. He, as well as Flora Macdonald, with whom the Prince parted at Portree, was soon afterwards captured and imprisoned, he for two years, she for a few months. She was released, it is said, at the intercession of Frederick, Prince of Wales. Flora married i\lexander Macdonald the Younger, of Kingsburgh, and was the mother of several children ; she died, aged seventy, at her home in Skye. Her meeting with Dr. Johnson and Boswell during their trip in the Highlands is well known. 29 X 24 in. By W. Robertson. Lent by Lord Donington. 199.

Portrait of Mary, Queen of Scots, at nine years and a half old. See the note on the drawing by Janet of Francis II. of France when a child, No. 218. This similar drawing of that King's future wife was executed in a like manner. The portrait is to the waist, in three-quarters view to left, the eyes being in that direction. Mary wears a close-fitting and richly embroidered coif jewelled at the front edge and crown. Her gown, cut low and rising at the middle of the bust, is likewise embroidered and jewelled ; the sleeves are puffed and slashed to show the lining, with jewels between each slash. She wears a carcanet, an earring with a pendent pearl ; a chain of jewels crosses her shoulders and is looped to the upper edge of the gown. At the side of the head is written, vertically, " Marie royne descosse au le age de neuf ans et six mois Lan 1552 an mots de Jufflet?' Chalk drawing by J. Janet, Lent by George Howard, Esq. Y. 66 Exhibition of the Royal Hotise of Stuart. 217. Magdalen of France, first wife of James V. of Scotland, as a child. This drawing of the Queen Magdalen of Scotland — a head — is, like the above, by Janet, and from the Castle Howard collection. She appears as a baby, wearing a loose cap. The face is in a three-quarters view to left : the eyes are in the same direction. Above the head is written, as before, " Le Royne Madellaine descose? Sketch by J. Janet. Lent by George Howard, Esq. 218. Francis II. of France, as a Child. Drawing by Francois Clouet, or Janet, called " Clouet III.," on white paper and made with black and red chalks, after the manner of the artist, his father, Dumoustier, and others, as well as, at a later date, Albert Diirer and Holbein. Great numbers of similar examples exist in the British Museum, at Windsor, at the Louvre, and, till lately, when they were sold, in one of the richest private collections in London. Those at Castle Howard, of which this example and others now in the Gallery are specimens, are, on the whole, the most numerous and interesting. That collection embraces instances of the same kind by all the above-named artists and others. They appear to have been made as sketches and studies, and not necessarily in preparation for pictures. The chalk drawings of portraits by Holbein, now preserved at Windsor, were, on the other hand, intended to be traced on panels or canvases. Many of Holbein's drawings of this category show indented lines produced by styles when the portraits were transferred. None of the Castle Howard drawings show such lines. It is therefore presumed they were not made for tracing in preparation for paintings. This example shows a boy of about four years old, to the waist, wearing a flat embroi- dered and plumed cap, close-fitting jerkin tied with points, and a small ruff. The face is in three-quarters view to left, the eyes are to the front and look at the spectator. On the paper above the head is written with ink in an old hand : " Le feu roi francoi? 2 e est cant D'qufihin." The words show that they were written after the King's death and that the drawing represents him while he was Dauphin of France. Sketch by J. Janet. Lent by George Howard, Esq. 219.

A small plume is on the left of the cap. His wadded jerkin is embroidered, and puffed on the shoulders.

Book of Hours, formerly belonging to Mary, Queen of Scots. A Book of Hours, said to have belonged to Queen Ma.ry, and to have been used on the scaffold in the great hall of Fotheringhay Castle, February 8, 1587. If so, it may be that referred to in the account of the circumstance which was given to Cecil : " All the assembly, save the queen and hir servantes sayde the prayer after Mr. Deane [Dr. Fletcher, the Protestant Dean of Peterborough, who had been appointed to pray with Mary, and whom she and all her entourage rejected] as he spake it, during which prayer, the Queen satt upon hir stoole, having hir Agnus Dei, crucifixe, beades, and an office in Lattyn. Thus furnished with superstitious trumpery, not regarding what Mr. Deane sayde, shee began verie fastly with tears and a lowde voice to praye in Lattin, and in the midst of her prayers, with overmuch weeping and mourning, slipt of [off] hir stoole, and, kneeling presently sayde divers other Lattin prayers. Then she rose and kneeled downe agayne, praying in English, for Christe's afflicted church, an end of hir troubles, for hir sonne, and for the queen's majestye, to God for his forgiveness of the sinns of them in the islande : shee forgave hir ennemyes with all hir harte that had longe sought hir bloud." On this occasion Queen Mary was thus minutely described by an official reporter to Cecil : — " The sayde 8 day of Februarye being comme, and tyme and place appointed for the execution, the sayde Queene being of stature tall, of body corpulent,rownde shouldred, hir face fatt and broade, double-chinned, and hazell-eyed, her borrowed haire aborne [auburn], hir attyre was this. On hir head shee had a dressing of lawne edged with bone lace, a pomander chayne and an Agnus Dei about hir necke, a Crucifix in hir hande, a payre of beades [rosary] at hir girdle, with a silver cross at the end of them. A vayle of lawn fastned to hir caul bowed out with wyer [wire], and edged round about with boane lace. Hir govvne was of black sattin painted [embroidered], with a trayne and long sleeves to the grownde, sett with acorne buttons of Jett trymmed with pearle, and shorte sleeves of sattyn black cutt [slashed, to show the sleeves within], with a payre of sleeves of purple velvett whole under them. Hir kirtle whole [not slashed], of figured black sattin, and hir petticoate skirtes of Crimson velvett, hir shooes of Spannish leather with the rough side owtward, a payre of greene silke garters." The last articles were seen when, after the beheading, one of the executioners "plucked " them off and " espyed hir little dogg which was crept under hir cloathes, which would not be gotten foorth but with force, and afterwarde would not departe from the dead corps, but camme and layde between hir head and shoulders ; a thing much noted. The dogg embrewed in hir bloud was carryed awaye and washed, as al things els were that had any bloud, save those thinges which were burned. The Executioners were sent awaye with money for their fees, not having any one thynge that belonged unto hir." This was WEST GALLERY.] Relics. 77 designed to prevent the obtaining of relics for the Roman Catholics, who, it was antici- pated, would affirm the Queen was a martyr in their faith. Special precautions on this point, even extending to stipulations with Mary herself, before she was allowed to have the attendance of her women, a service at first denied to her, were taken that no one should be allowed to dip a handkerchief in her blood. Unless she had promised this should not be done, as she did, she must have gone to the block unattended by a friend. Lent by C. Butler, Esq. 317.

This book, which once belonged to Queen Mary Tudor, whose name, arms and badges are on the cover, is supposed to have been used by Mary Queen of Scots on the scaffold.

RELICS OF MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS, QUEEN MARY OF LORRAINE, AND HENRY, LORD DARNLEY. 322. Ciborium and Cover, a gift of Queen Mary to Sir James Balfour of Burleigh. Ciborium and cover of copper gilt, known as the " Cup of Malcolm Canmore," and elaborately enamelled in chanipleve j one of the finest examples of the kind and of the twelfth century ; executed at Limoges or on the Rhine ; resembles a crosier formerly at Goodrich Court, which is signed " Frater Wilkelmus me fecit" and stated to have been found in the tomb of Ragenfroi, Bishop of Chartres in 941, but evidently of later date. The ciborium is traditionally said to have belonged to Malcolm Canmore, King of Scotland 1056 — 1092, and to have been given by Mary, Queen of Scots, to Sir James Balfour (of Burleigh), her faithful adherent, from whom it descended to the present possessor (see the note on the " Tankard" lent by him, No. 339). It may be that which, in the Inventair of the Queene Regentis Movablis received by S. de Conde, her Valet of the Chamber in 1562, is named among enamelled objects as u Ane lawer with a cowp and cover of copper e?inamaillit" On the bowl are six subjects from the Old Testament in medallions, enclosed by foliage or stems on which are inscriptions. On the cover are likewise six subjects from the history of Our Lord, corresponding with the prototypes of the Old Testament series. On the bowl are: 1. Abraham circumcising Isaac. 2. Abraham bearing a sword and lamp, Isaac follows with wood for his own pyre. 3. The Sacrifice of Isaac, who kneels on the altar, Abraham grasps him by the hair and raises his sword while an angel holds it back. 4. Samson quitting Gaza : on each side of a castle are two soldiers in long hauberks of mail, with kite-shaped shields, and armed with lances. This is the costume of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, as in the Bayeux Tapestry. Samson is not in armour. 5. David rescues a lamb from a bear. 6. Elijah, standing in a square cart with two horses, and having a blue nimbus, is taken up to heaven. On the cover the subjects are : 1. The Baptism of our Lord : the figures of Christ and St. John are of lilac enamel, excepting the faces of gilt metal. 2. Christ bearing the Cross, with figures of mockers : three females follow Him. 3. The Crucifixion, between Mary and St. John. 4. The Resurrection : Mary approaching the tomb. 5. The Harrowing of Hell. 6. The Ascension. The lower part of a ciborium of very similar workmanship is preserved at Warwick Castle, and comprises six subjects from the Old Testament, accompanied, as in this example, by Latin verses, three of which are identical with three before us. Engraved in Shaw's Decorative Arts, and in Mr. A. W. Franks's memoir on the Enamels in the Art Treasures Exhibition, Manchester, 1857.

This handbell, of silver gilt, was one of the objects of personal use which, doubtless furnished Queen Mary's chamber ; it is perhaps one of those WEST GALLERY.] Relics. 79 articles she was permitted to retain at Fotheringhay, among which, according to an inventory of her goods, was a " CloscheteT It is certain that, according to the fashion of her time, she was accustomed to keep a bell on her table with writing apparatus. The devices on the bell support the tradition which avers that it may have been used during her captivity. In a will, made during her illness at Sheffield in February, 1577, she bequeathed to Claude Nau, her secretary, who wrote the document, "A Nau, men grand diamant, ma grande escritoyre d } argent aux bords derez et la closchete de mes?ne." In the inventory of her goods, taken probably at Chartley in August, 1586, is included, with other valuables, " Une clocjiette d? argent desns la table de Sa Majeste" In another inventory made at Fotheringhay, February 20, 1587, of jewels, etc., in the custody of her servants after her death and in the hands of Elizabeth Curie, are mentioned a silver-gilt candlestick, "a little silver bell" etc. Around its waist, externally, are engraved: 1. The royal arms of Scotland. 2. The Greek monogram of the name of Christ within a circle which is inscribed " In hoc Vince 86." 3. A vine, of which one half is leafless, a hand issuing from clouds and holding a priming-knife, cuts off the dead branches ; around it are the words "Virescit, vvlnere, virtvsP The design is identical with that on the reverse of a jeton (or counter of silver) of Queen Mary, one of six formerly in the posses- sion of the late Edward Hawkins of the British Museum (others belonged to Mr. B. Nightingale), and described by Mr. A. Way in his Catalogue of Antiquities, etc. exhibited at Edinburgh, 1856, p. 180. 4. A monogram of the Greek letters "<£" and U M" (for Francis of France and Mary of Scotland) ensigned with an arched crown, bound within an oval and enclosed by a circular band, on which is " Sa vertv motireP This motto, which is an anagram of Mary's name, occurred in a description of devices embroidered on a bed wrought by her, as stated in a letter from Drummond of Hawthornden to Ben jonson, dated July 1, 1619. The monogram occurs likewise engraved within the hoop of Mary's signet-ring, which is now in the British Museum. Within the bell is an engraved device of concentric circles, with lines radiating from the centre and pointing to letters and numerals engraved within the circles. The letters have been read, be- ginning from the outer circle, " Clamat svas " (for " she calls her attendants ") : it is probable the letters are initials and the numerals ciphers for names. It may be one of the keys for secret writing much used at the time, and especially by Queen Mary and her adherents. Some of the latter are known to have been designated by numbers. Mr. Way observed that the Greek monogram (No. 2 above) and this device appear to be of a later date than the arms, No. I, and the crowned monogram, No. 4. The former two may have been added after Queen Mary's death. This is one of the relics or heirlooms mentioned in the note on the " Tankard of Agate," lent by Lord Balfour of Burleigh, No. 339. It is probable that the ring and the bell were engraved in France during the interval between Mary's betrothal to the Dauphin, August, 1548, and their marriage, April 24, following. The crowns on the monograms of " <3? " and "M" resemble the crown of France, rather than the depressed crown of Scotland. A monogram of " F " and " M " occurs on some of Mary's coins, combined with a crown. Lent by Lord Balfour of Burleigh. 324. Limoges Enamel Tazza of Mary Queen of Scots.

There is a pathetic interest attached to this relic of the pall. See Sir T. Herbert's Memoirs : " The Royal Corps being embalmed and coffined, and lapped in Lead, and covered with a new velvet-Pall, was removed to the King's House at St. James's [St. James's Palace] where was great pressing by all sorts of People to see the King, or where he was. A doleful Spectacle ! But few had leave to enter and behold it." The same, or a similar pall, had been, according to Herbert, already used. "Mr. Herbert, during this [the execution of the King] was at the door [of the Banquetting House], lamenting ; and the Bishop [Juxon] coming thence with the Royal 86 Exhibition of the Royal House of Stuart. Corps, which was immediately coffined, and covered with a black velvet- Pall," he and Mr. Herbert went with it to the backstairs to be embalmed." Again, a the interment in St. George's Chapel, at the instance of Herbert " accordingly the corps was thither carried from St. James', in a hearse covered with black velvet, drawn by six horses, also covered with black." " This is memorable, that at such time as the King's body was brought out of St. George's Hall, the sky was serene and clear, but presently it began to snow, and fell so fast, as by that time they came to the West-end of the Royal Chapell, the black velvet pall was all white (the colour of Innocency), being thick cover d over with Snow. So went the White King to his Grave, in the 48th year of his age and the 22nd year and 10th month of his reign. Letting pass Merlyn's Pro- phecies, some make it allude to the white Sattin his Majesty wore when he was crowned in Westminster Abbey in the year 1625, former kings having on purple Robes at their Coronations. y ' This refers to the fact that, notwithstanding a very threatening prophecy, popularly attributed to Merlin, disasters of all sorts would attend the coming of a " White King" to the throne of England, Charles had, the day being that of the Feast of the Purification, or "to declare the virgin purity with which he came to be espoused to his kingdom," deliberately elected to be attired in white when he was crowned at West- minster. The publication by William Lilly in 1644, entitled " A Prophecy of the White King," had renewed the superstitions here alluded to. 369.

Sir Thomas Herbert, the King's Groom of the Chambers, who attended his master's last hours in St. James's Palace and at the scaffold, Whitehall, wrote in Memoirs, &c, as follows, of the night of January 29th, 1649, and the next morning : " The King commanded Mr. Herder I to lie by his Bed-side upon a Pallat, where he took small rest, that being the last Night his Gracious Sovereign and Master enjoy'd ; but nevertheless the King for Four Hours or thereabouts, slept soundly, and awaking about Two Hours afore day, he opened his Curtain to call Mr. Herbert ; there being a great Cake of Wax set in a Silver Bason, that then as at all other times, burned all Night ; so that he perceiv'd him somewhat disturb'd in sleep ; but calling him, bad him rise ; For, (said his Majesty) I will get up, having a great Work to do this Day; however he would know why he was so troubled in his sleep? He [Herbert] reply' d, May it please your Majesty, I was dreaming. — — " [The dream, which Herbert described at length in a letter to Dr. Samways, printed with Memoirs, &c, as above, was, at the King's request, related to him. It included a vision of Archbishop Laud, who had been executed three years before, desiring to see his Majesty, and being admitted, having an interview with his master, kissed his hand, and, upon seeing his "pensive looks, gave a s igh," thence making his usual reverences, the third being so submiss, as he fell prostrate with his face on the ground." " The King said, my dream was very remarkable, but he is dead ; yet had we conferred together during life, 'tis very likely (albeit I loved him well) I should have said some- thing to him might have occasioned his sigh." Charles was more than once much affected by dreams and other signs and omens.] The King rejoined : " It was remarkable, Herbert, this is my Second Marriage-Day ; I would be as trim to-day as may be ; for before Night I hope to be espoused to my blessed Jesus. He then appointed what Cloaths he would wear : Let me have a Shirt on more than ordinary, said the King, by reason the season is so sharp as probably may make me shake, which some Observers will imagine proceeds from Fear. I would have ?io such Imputation. I fear not Death / Death is not terrible to me. I bless my God I am prepared."' The morning was so intensely cold that the Thames was considerably, if not wholly, frozen over. [See also No. 385.] Lent by Bewicke Blackburn, Esq. 374.

" Colonel Hacker commanding the Guard at the King's execution knocked easily at the King's chamber-door. Mr. Herbert being within would not stir to ask who it was. but knocking the second time louder, the King bade him go to the door. He guessed his business. The Colonel said he would speak with the King. The King said, ' Let him come in.' The Colonel in trembling manner came near and told His Majesty it was time to go to Whitehall, when he might have further time to rest. The King bade him go forth, he would come presently. Some time His Majesty was private, and afterwards taking that good Bishop (Juxon) by the hand, looking upon him with a cheerful countenance he said 4 Come, let us go,' and bidding Herbert take with him the silver clock that hung by his bedside, said ' Open the door, Hacker has given a second warning.' Through the garden the King passed into the park, where making a stand he asked Mr. Herbert the Hour of the Day ; and taking the Clock into his Hand, gave it him, and bade him keep it in memory of him ; which Mr. Herbert keeps accord- ingly."

The Prayer-book was given by Isaac Herault (Herauldus or Herauld) to Sir Richard Browne, father-in-law of John Evelyn, of Wotton, Dorking (author of the Diary, Sylva, &c), who is often mentioned in the Diary. It was saved by Herault from destruction by some of the King's enemies, and bears on the fly-leaf the following note in the hand- writing of Evelyn : — " H(ic) S(acer) E(st) Liber Liturgicus Sanguine Martyrum Coronatus Quern a diro Parricidarum Furore salvum fecit Isacius Heraldus Ipso horrendi Facinoris Die serenissimi Magnae Britannise regis CAROLI primi A Deo Coronati Martyris Gloriosis- simi Oratori Nobilissimo Richardo Browne Equiti Aurato D(edit) Q(ue) C(onsecravit) Q(ue) In seternam Memoriam. This is the Booke which Charles the First M.B." (Martyr beatus) " did use upon the Scaffold xxx Jan. 1649, being the Day of his glorious martyrdom,' Isaac Herault was a son of Didier Herault, jurisconsult, who died in 1649. His brother Louis was a minister of the Walloon Church in London, a staunch sup- porter of the King. The Prayer-book was printed in London by R. Barker and the Assignees of John Bill, 1638. Sir T. Herbert in his Memoirs relates how Bishop Juxon said prayers before the King, on the day of his death, and read the 27th Chapter of St. Matthew, which relates the Passion of our Lord. The King asked the Bishop if he had chosen so appropriate a chapter. The Bishop replied, " May it please your gracious Majesty, it is the proper * lesson for the day as appears by the Calendar, which the King was much affected with, so aptly serving as a seasonable preparation for his death that day." That chapter remained the lesson for the day when the office of " King Charles the Martyr ;; was added to the restored Prayer-Book in 1662. Lent by W. J.

These small pistols were worn by Prince Charles Edward at Culloden and during his flight after that engagement. Later, while on the Continent, he gave them to his father's private secretary, Mr. James Edgar, with whose family they have since re- mained. Mr. James Edgar had " been out in the '15," and was accompanied by his brother John, who was taken prisoner and died of his wounds in Stirling Castle, while James followed the Prince, his namesake, to France, and as his private secretary remained with him till his death, in 1764, nearly fifty years. His eldest nephew, John Edgar, followed Prince Charles in 1745, escaped with difficulty and joined his uncle in Rome, where he was closely attached to Cardinal York, then Prince Henry Benedict : he became a Captain in Lord Ogilvie's Scotch regiment in the French service, and taking advantage of an amnesty, returned to Scotland. Lent by Miss Edgar. I 2 132 Exhibition of the Royal House of Stuart CENTRAL HALL, 797. Suit of Tilting Armour of Henry, Prince of Wales. This suit, or rather portions of a suit of tilting armour, the other pieces of it remaining at Windsor, is interesting as being seen somewhat differently arranged in No. 73, the portrait of Prince Henry. The picture shows that its original appearance was different to what is now seen, the surface, except in the ornamented parts, being of a dark blue. The ornaments, consisting of a rose, thistle, and fleur-de-lys, occur with the monogram PP on all the pieces. The construction of the suit is good, and in many points resembles that of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, now in the Tower collection and like the present suit now bright. The ornamentation of Prince Henry's suit is not as fine as the Leicester one, but the gilding has been preserved. There is in the collection of Lord Hothfield, at Appleby Castle, a left-hand gauntlet of similar design to the right-hand one of this suit. Another right-hand gauntlet of somewhat similar design was also in the Meyrick collection, figured in Skelton's work, pi. 78. The rough play of the tilt yard would account for the necessity for more than one gauntlet, and the mainefer seen on the left hand of this figure was only for use in mounted exercises. A vamplate for the lance, of similar design but stouter material, is in the Tower collection, as also a gorget and the upper portion of a grandguard. These two last pieces are, however, unfinished. No maker's mark has been found on this suit, but it is supposed to have been the work of William Pickering, Master of the London Armourers' Company, 1607-8. See Notes, p. 236.

Cabinet of Charles I., left by him at Aston Hall before the battle of Edgehill. The history of this cabinet refers to the visit of Charles I. to Aston Hall, near Birmingham, on the evenings of Sunday and Monday, October 16 and 17, 1642, a week before the battle of Edgehill, when he was the guest of Sir Thomas Holte, Bart., a staunch Royalist. The King was on his way from Shrewsbury to relieve Banbury Castle, which was then dangerously besieged. The room where he slept is still called "The King's Chamber." Departing on the morrow he left this cabinet and the bowl (No. 800), which are lent to the exhibition by the Corporation of Birmingham, the present owners of the Hall and its contents. These articles passed by the marriage of Miss Holte, heiress of her race, to the Bracebridge family. The late Mr. Charles Holte Bracebridge bequeathed them to the Corporation, so that they have again found their way to Aston Hall. Lent by The Corporation of Birmingham. 800.

This suit, which is covered with engraving of trophies, &c, executed with acid, and some other ornament graven with the tool, is not equal in design or execution to 797. From the numerous peculiarities of construction and the slightness of the material, it would seem to have been an experimental suit, and as far as can be judged not an improvement on the armour of the period. The gauntlets do not belong to this or any other suit. Lent by Her Majesty the Queen. 807. Carved Oak Chair of James I. from his Palace at Theobalds. Lent by Gery Milner-Gibson-Cullum, Esq. 808.

Two Curtains, a Counterpane, and a Valence, worked on a green velvet ground by Mary, Queen of Scots, and the Countess of Shrewsbury. Such being the case, these articles must have been executed at Tutbury Castle and South Winfield Manor House, while the Scottish Queen was in charge of George, Sixth Earl of Shrewsbury, Earl Marshal of England, and his second wife, Elizabeth, called " Bess of Hardwick," widow of Robert Barley of Barley ; of Sir William Cavendish of Chats- worth, Treasurer of the Chamber to Henry VIII. ; and of Sir W. St. Lo, Captain of the Guard to Queen Elizabeth. The Earl was her fourth husband, and, dying in 1607, she survived him seventeen years. The Countess was " a woman of masculine under- standing and conduct ; proud, furious, selfish, and unfeeling. She was a builder, a buyer and seller of estates, a money-lender, a farmer, and a merchant of lead, coals, and timber." Mary was given in custody to the Earl, and he treated her with " such care and concern " that the captive declared she was safe nowhere else, and was almost content to be in his charge. Respecting Mary's occupations at Tutbury, while she was in charge of the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury, Nicholas White, afterwards Knight, and Master of the Rolls in Ireland, thus described her reply to his enquiries when he visited her there in 1 569. " I asked her Grace, since the weather did cut off all exercises abroad, how she passed the time within. She said that all the day she wrought with her needle, and that the diversity of the labours made the work seem less tedious, and continued so long at it till very pain did make her to give it over ; and with that laid her hand upon her left side and complained of an old grief newly increased there." This was the disorder which in- duced Mary to take the waters at Buxton. Besides the " Queen's Maries," Fleming, Beton, Livingston, and Seton, there were attached to the Queen's train an embroiderer and a tapestry maker. This was in 1562. Various pieces of embroidery, said to be the works of Mary, are in the possession of Mr. D. Scott-Moncrieff, Mr. C. C. Maxwell, the Dowager- Marchioness of Huntly, &c. ; some of them are here.

James, Earl of Derwentwater. Engraved by GEORGE Vertue. James RadclirTe, third and last Earl of Derwentwater, was son of Mary Tudor, natural daughter of Charles II. by the lovely and accomplished actress Mary Davis. It was his misfortune that by the ties of religion, acquaintance, and his near relationship to the exiled Royal family, he was drawn into rebellion, and there is little doubt that a fear lest his personal attachment to the Stuarts would again inevitably lead him to espouse their cause, together with the danger the Government feared from his vast wealth and territorial influence, made him a special object of punishment. This was carried even beyond justice in the case of his relations. More than one Act of Parliament was passed in order that the family fortune might be reduced. Lent by Harry Thornber, Esq. 857.

As long as the tale of " the '45 " continues to be told, the name of Flora Macdonald will, as Dr. Johnson said, " if courage and fidelity are virtues," be mentioned with honour. She and her relations were no friends of the Stuarts, but when in his dire distress it fell to her lot to be able to succour and save the hunted Prince, with a devotion and fear- less courage she accomplished her object. She was arrested and sent to London, but after a short imprisonment in the Tower was released on parole, and eventually pardoned in 1747. She became the wife of Alexander Macdonald, and, after a long and eventful life in America, died at her Highland home at Kingsburgh, March 5th, 1790. Lent by Harry Thorn bee, Esq. 859.

John Erskine, the eleventh Earl of Mar, was a man of true nobility of character, who served under Queen Anne with the highest honour. George on his accession repelled Mar's offer of adhesion, on which he took the part of the exiled Stuart. Gathering his friends together he persuaded them to proclaim James III., and for a time, chiefly with the help of the Highlanders, held Scotland. But he was no soldier, and he was out- generalled, and eventually obliged to leave the country. Sailing with his Royal Master from Scotland, he reached France in safety, and spent the remainder of his life an exile. Lent by Harry Thornber, Esq. 142 Exhibition of the Royal House of Stuart. 864.

Lent by George Scharf, Esq., C.B. 872. Three Portraits : William, Viscount Kenmure ; Richard gascoigne ; and john bruce. Viscount Kenmure, at the instigation of the Earl of Mar, had joined the Jacobite forces, and was appointed by him to an important command. On the surrender of Preston he was carried prisoner to London, tried, condemned, and executed on Tower Hill, February 24th, 17 16. Richard Gascoigne, taken at Preston, was a Catholic gentleman of good family, whose ancestors had served on the Royalist side during the troublous times. He found no mercy, and was executed at Tyburn in the usual horrible manner. Captain John Bruce, also taken at Preston, a Scottish Episcopalian, suffered at Lancaster, October 2nd, 1716.

Colonel Henry Oxburgh and James, Earl of Derwent- WATER — Engravings. The gallant Colonel Oxburgh was a Roman Catholic officer of good family, who was taken prisoner at Preston. Under pretence of a tour in search of the beautiful in art and nature, he had during the early part of the year 17 15 been stirring up the Jacobite party in many counties, and making all arrangements for the rising which took place. It is curious that his life was not spared on account of his honourable conduct of the negotia- tions for the surrender of the town, and his general character. His ill-fortune was caused, there is little doubt, by the escape of so many of his fellow-prisoners, and the necessity the Government felt of making an example of some one.

Arthur Elphinstone, Lord Balmerino, was born in 1688 ; was in the ranks of James III. in 1 7 1 5 ; escaped to France; served with distinction in the French army ; was pardoned through the intercession of his father in 1734 ; but when the " Young Chevalier " landed, he at once joined him, and though an old man, by his ability, military skill and great personal courage, contributed in no small degree to the successes of the campaign. Taken prisoner after Culloden, he was brought to trial with the other rebel Lords, and being condemned was executed on the same day as Lord Kilmarnock. George Mackenzie, Earl of Cromartie, was one of tire first to join the standard of Prince Charles tldward at the head of 400 of his clansmen, whose hardships and triumphs alike he shared, leading them in battle with marvellous gallantry. He was taken prisoner the day before the battle of Culloden, sent to London, tried and condemned to death. The earnest entreaties of his beautiful Countess addressed to the King and the Prince of Wales, together with the good offices of many of the Scottish nobility, procured his reprieve and at length a pardon.

The first edition was published in 1732, and contained the Offices for Morning and Evening Prayer, the Holy Liturgy (a nearly exact reproduction of the so-called Liturgy of St. Clement), the Ordinal, &c. In 1746 an additional book was published con- taining among other things a A Litany for the use of those who mourn for the iniquities of the present Time," and a form for the admission of a convert. The present book is a combination of the two previous, and has evidently been much used. It is remarkable that in Deacon's Catechism of 1748 the earlier editions are advertised and this Liverpool edition is not mentioned.

The dies for these coins were engraved in France by Norbert Roettier previous to Prince James's departure for Scotland in 1716. No pieces appear to have been struck at the time, but the dies having come into the possession of Mr. Matthew Young in 1828, a few specimens were struck off, and the dies then defaced and deposited in the British Museum. 173—181. Touch Pieces of the Stuarts from Charles II. to Prince Henry, Cardinal, Duke of York (Henry IX). When the King performed the cere- mony of " touching," he put about the neck of each applicant a white ribbon with one of these pieces attached to it. They have on the obverse a ship in full sail and the King's name and titles, and on the reverse St. Michael slaying the Dragon and the inscription, soli deo gloria. The type was taken from a coin called the Angel, which was the piece previously used at this ceremony from the reign of Henry VII. to that of Charles I. At the Restoration, when the Angel was no longer issued as a current coin, Charles II. substituted these medalets in its place The specimens exhibited form a complete series, viz. of Charles II., in gold (two sizes); of James II., in gold and silver; of Anne, in gold; of Prince James Edward as James III., in gold and silver (executed by Hamerani at Rome); of Prince Charles Edward as Charles III., in silver ; and of Henry, Cardinal, Duke of York, as Henry IX., in silver.

The Cycle Club was originally a Jacobite society, and included a large number of the country gentlemen of Cheshire and Denbighshire. The club used to meet at the houses of the members in turn, according to a rota, a facsimile of one of which (for 1813) is exhibited. The Lady of Wynnstay was always Lady Patroness. The club continued to exist till about 1850, but before that time had degenerated into a mere social and convivial institution.

Ivory Casket which formerly belonged to Cardinal York. This interesting casket of ivory, measuring seven inches long by four and half wide and three in height, carved in high relief and mounted in enamelled silver, was purchased at Rome in 1807, upon the decease of the Cardinal York, Bishop of Frascati, the last survivor of the Royal Stuarts to whom it belonged. It is divided into sixteen panels, each representing, according to the legend, a principal event in the life of a Roman General under the Emperor Trajan, named Placidus, who being converted to Christianity was afterwards canonized under the appellation of " Saint Eustace." Like St. Hubert, he is said to have been reclaimed from paganism by the miraculous appearance of the Saviour between the horns of a stag which he was pursuing with his hounds. This important event is represented in front of the coffer, whilst on the lid, descrip- tive of a victory in single fight, said by the legend to have been gained by Placidus over a commander opposed to the Roman Army, two knights on horseback in visored bascinets and clad in mail without any mixture of plate, are engaged in single combat, attended by their esquires in corresponding costumes. The baptism of this Saint, that of his two sons and his wife, his capture by sea pirates, the seizure of his children severally by a bear and a wolf, and finally the martyrdom of the whole family by burning in a brazen bull under the orders of the Emperor Hadrian, with other events in his life, are characteristically represented on the different panels. The costumes represented on this casket with the style of the carvings, &c, evidently fix its date to the commencement of the 12th century, but its great interest consists in the hinges and mountings, which are enamelled on silver in a fine blue colour (azure) and are profusely covered with the armorial bearings of England, having the three lions quartered with the fleurs de lys of France (ancient) continually repeated. The face of the lock however having the same royal arms of England enamelled on a gold plate is of later style, and is placed over the old work. It was stated at the sale of the Cardinal's effects that this casket came into the posses- sion of James I. upon his succession to the English crown, and that it had remained with that branch of the Royal Stuarts until the death, in 1807, of Cardinal York, the last survivor of the family.

The Windsor suit is probably one of the two last-mentioned. Note to No. 368. — The prophecy of the White King occurs among the Prophecies of the Caledonian Merlin, or Merlin Silvester. In the days of the " Rex Albus et Nobilis/' who should follow the " Leo Justitiae, ' there should be a " tempus milvorum ' and all manner of troubles, and at last " Rex Albus labetur in auram." Originally written probably in the 12th century, the prophecy was applied first to Stephen, later to Edward IV., and lastly to Charles I. As the " Rex Albus" was opposed by the Eagle (the Empress Matilda) and the " pullus Aquilae" (Henry II.), who ultimately "nidificabit in summo rupium totius Brittanniae," the words were evidently meant originally for Stephen.
