 IS MOST RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED, 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 This little work originated in a wish expressed 
 by the Duke of Richmond to possess a descrip- 
 tive Catalogue of the Pictures in Goodwood 
 House for the use of himself and his friends. 
 At the suggestion, however, of many visitors and 
 strangers, to whom the collection is at all times 
 open, and by whom the want of such a publica- 
 tion as is here attempted has been often felt and 
 acknowledged, it has assumed its present form. 
 
 That the opportunity of describing so ex- 
 tensive and valuable a collection had not fallen 
 to some one, whose greater experience and criti- 
 cal knowlege would have better qualified him for 
 the task, is to be regretted ; the apology which 
 the Author offers for having undertaken it is 
 simply, that but for him it would probably not 
 have been done at all : — however imperfectly it

 may have been executed, he can only say that 
 he has done his best. 
 
 To the portraits, brief biographical notices 
 of the individuals they represent have been at- 
 tached, which can hardly fail to render them 
 more interesting. Similar sketches of the dif- 
 ferent masters have also been added, with a 
 view of affording to those, who may not have 
 had the opportunity of devoting much atten- 
 tion to the study of pictures, a general idea of 
 the characteristics of the Artist at the moment 
 when one of the productions of his pencil is be- 
 fore them. For these, Walpole, Bryan, and Pil- 
 kington have been the principal authorities con- 
 sulted. 
 
 The Author is bound most gratefully to 
 acknowledge his obligations to the Duke of Rich- 
 mond, who, with uniform kindness, has rendered 
 him most valuable assistance, and by whose 
 liberality he has had access to many essential 
 documents relating to the House and Family.

GOODWOOD, 
 
 &c. 
 
 The Domain of the Duke of Richmond comprehends 
 the three contiguous estates of Goodwood, Halnaker, and 
 Westhampnett. It is situated on the south side of the 
 Downs, a chain of hills covered with a fine verdant turf, 
 and possessing in a striking degree that smoothness and 
 regularity of outline for which the mountain masses of 
 the chalk formation are so remarkable. Commencing 
 with the bold promontory of Beachy Head they traverse 
 the County in a direction nearly east and west, present- 
 ing as far as Brighton, an immediate barrier to the sea, 
 and forming a bold and precipitous line of coast; pro- 
 ceeding westerly, they extend inland in an oblique 
 direction, and occupy the centre of Western Sussex, the 
 space between them and the sea being a maritime 
 district formed of clay and gravel, the climate of which 
 is warm and highly favorable to the powers of vegetation. 
 Their length is between fifty and sixty miles, their 
 greatest breadth seven miles, and their mean altitude 
 about five hundred feet above the level of the sea.*

12 GOODWOOD. 
 
 On the declivity of one of these Downs, at the West- 
 ern end of Sussex, the noble mansion of Goodwood 
 has been erected. Its situation is peculiarly beautiful 
 and picturesque, surrounded by a Park, comprising up- 
 wards of twelve hundred Acres, planted with the finest 
 Timber, and commanding from various parts extensive 
 and almost unequalled prospects of the highly cultivated 
 and garden-like scenery, for which Sussex is so remark- 
 able. It has been remarked by the Earl of Orford, that 
 part of the distant prospect seen from elevated stations 
 in the neighbourhood of Chichester, comprising the 
 varied surface of the Isle of Wight, with the intervening 
 and adjacent sea, and the inlets, bays, and projecting 
 points of land, which diversify the flat shore of the 
 Western part of Sussex, and the Eastern part of Hamp- 
 shire, resembles in no slight degree that kind of horizon, 
 with which Claude was accustomed to bound the finest 
 of his pictures. 
 
 From the heights near Goodwood House the eye takes 
 in a vast extent of the cultivated plain beneath, studded 
 with Villages and Hamlets, the City of Chichester with 
 its Cathedral and lofty spire, distant about four miles, 
 presenting a prominent feature in the enchanting scene, 
 of which the waves of the English Channel and the Isle 
 of Wight hills, are the harmonizing boundaries. 
 
 Goodwood derives its name from its Saxon owner 
 Goduinus, and was included in the survey made of the 
 
GOODWOOD. 13 
 
 kingdom, by the direction of the Norman Conqueror, 
 and appears in Domesday Book as Godinwood. It was 
 allowed to be retained by its Saxon possessor, who is 
 himself described in the same record, as " Liber Homo.' 5 
 It is in the Manor and Parish of Boxgrove. In the 
 reign of Henry I., the Lordships of Boxgrove and Hal- 
 naker were united and given to Robert de Haia, who 
 had married a Lady of Royal Blood. The joint property 
 passed through his descendants, by the female side, to 
 Sir Thomas West, Lord la War, who was compelled by 
 Henry VIII. to exchange it for the Abbey of Whew ell 
 in Hampshire in 1540. It remained vested in the 
 Crown till 1560, when Henry, Earl of Arundel, obtained 
 a grant to hold in capite ; in 1584 John LordLumley and 
 Jane Fitzalan his wife aliened it by sale to Henry Wal- 
 rond, esquire. We find it thus described in the Burrell 
 MSS.— "Rot. Par. 26th. of Elizabeth, Godinwood 
 Manor, with its appendages, and 2 houses, 4 gardens, 2 
 orchards, 200 acres of park land, 10 of arable, 500 of 
 pasture, and 300 of wood, &c. in Hampton et, sold by 
 Lord Lumley and Jane his wife, to Henry Walrond, 
 knight." 
 
 In 1597 the Lessee was Thomas Caesar; and soon af- 
 terwards, Henry Bennett, jun. In the reign of Charles 
 II. it appears to have been in the possession of the fa- 
 mily of Caryll, of Harting, as an act of attainder against 
 John Caryll, esquire, of Goodwood, was passed in the 
 
14 GOODWOOD. 
 
 26th. year of his reign. The Estate was purchased by 
 the first Duke of Richmond, about the year 1720, of the 
 family of Compton, who then held the Manor of the 
 adjacent Parish of East Lavant. 
 
 Halnaker, called in Domesday Halnecke, descended 
 as did Goodwood, till the year 15S7, (29th. of Elizabeth) 
 when it was granted to Sir John Morley, of Suffolk. 
 Sir William Morley, the last male heir, dying in 1701, 
 was succeeded by his daughter Mary, who married in 
 170S, James Earl of Derby, and died in 1752, by her 
 will bequeathing the Estate to Sir Thomas Acland, 
 Bart, of Devonshire, her nearest relative, by whom in 
 1765, it was sold to Charles third Duke of Richmond, 
 by whom it has been connected with the other entailed 
 Estates. The House, which is seated on a commanding 
 eminence, in an extensive Park, containing an avenue 
 of Spanish chesnut trees of great size and beauty, and 
 well stocked with Deer, was built in the reign of Henry 
 VIII. It remained unoccupied after the death of the 
 Countess of Derby, and was suffered to go to decay, and 
 latterly it becoming unsafe to visit many portions of the 
 delapidated ruins, the greater part have been taken down 
 and removed. The remains of Halnaker House were 
 almost a solitary specimen in this part of the Country 
 of the castellated style, peculiar to the age of the 
 Tudors. It had a gateway, flanked with small octangu- 
 lar towers leading into a square court, a large hall, and 
 
GOODWOOD. 15 
 
 several lofty and wide bay windows in various apartments, 
 suitable to the residence of the nobility of that age. 
 These windows were ornamented with the armorial 
 bearings of the family of West, and their alliances. The 
 wainscot of the hall, wrought in carved oak, in knots, 
 scrolls, and devices, with a frequent introduction of the 
 cognizances of the founder, exhibited a most curious in- 
 stance of the progress of the art when it had reached its 
 highest degree of perfection in England. King Edward 
 VI. visited Halnaker July 27th. 1551. 
 
 Westhampnett comprising upwards of 1800 acres 
 was purchased by the third Duke of Richmond. In 
 Doomsday no separate mention is made of Westhamp- 
 nett, it being attached to the manor of Halnaker. About 
 the beginning of the seventeenth century the Estate 
 was in the possession of Sir John Chapman, who was 
 an active Commissioner for the Parliament in 1644, for 
 compounding with the royalists of this district. His 
 heir female conveyed it to Hugh Reason, Esq., by whom 
 it was sold to Sir Hutchins Williams, Bart. He rebuilt 
 the large manor house and made it his residence. Of 
 his son Sir William Peere Williams it was purchased by 
 the Duke of Richmond with great part of the property in 
 the parish. The house having recently been much 
 enlarged is now occupied as the Workhouse of the 
 thirty-seven united parishes of the Westhampnett Union. 
 The remaining portion of this estate was bought of the 
 
16 GOODWOOD. 
 
 family of Steele, one of whom, Thomas Steele, repre- 
 sented the City of Chichester for many years. 
 
 GOODWOOD HOUSE 
 
 Presents an elegant and imposing exterior. It was 
 purchased by the first Duke of Richmond as a hunting 
 seat and for occasional resort. The original mansion, 
 an old gothic structure, was pulled down and that por- 
 tion of the present one which forms the centre of the 
 west wing, a plain edifice of Portland stone with a pedi- 
 ment in the centre, was, under the direction of Sir 
 William Chambers, erected in its stead. It remained in 
 this state till the year 1800, when the third Duke of 
 Richmond, who had devoted a long life and ample for- 
 tune to the planting and improvement of the estate, 
 commenced those extensive alterations and additions 
 which have produced the present noble pile. 
 
 It consists of a principal front with a colonnade of two 
 orders, a portico of six doric pillars supporting another 
 of an equal number of ionic, of Portland stone, extend- 
 ing one hundred and sixty-six feet, and terminated by 
 two circular towers with hemispherical roofs. The wings, 
 each presenting a front of one hundred and six feet, are 
 also terminated by similar towers. The whole of these 
 additions are composed of squared flints, collected from 
 
GOODWOOD. 17 
 
 the Downs, and which possess this superiority over 
 Portland stone, that the longer they are exposed to the 
 atmosphere the harder and whiter they become. Mr. 
 James Wyatt was the Architect under whose superin- 
 tendance the buildings were completed. The windows 
 of the two wings, which in fact form distinct fronts, 
 open on extensive pleasure grounds, in which are several 
 Cork trees remarkable for their size and beauty. 
 
 The Vestibule, or Entrance Hall, 
 
 The approach to which is under the centre colonnade, is 
 a noble apartment, thirty-eight feet in length, thirty-five 
 in width, and eighteen feet high. It is divided at its 
 upper end by six pillars of Guernsey Granite of a light 
 grey colour, each shaft being thirteen feet high, and 
 eighteen inches in diameter, and bearing a most exqui- 
 site polish. The plinth and tori are composed of white 
 and black marble, and the capitals, of the Corinthian 
 order, are executed in bronze. At each end are two 
 half columns in scagliola, intended to correspond with 
 the granite pillars, and so accurate has been the imita- 
 tion as to render the deception imperceptible to the eye. 
 They were the workmanship of a Mr. Allcott. 
 
 The massive appearance of this superb colonnade 
 gives an air of nobleness and grandeur, which agrees 
 well with the extent and general character of the apart-

 ment. On a corresponding scale, on either side, are 
 two massive marble chimney pieces, elaborately finished, 
 with small Ionic pillars, and conceived in true classic 
 taste. At the upper end, facing the windows, is a solid 
 marble table, supported by two eagles richly carved and 
 gilt, on which are placed specimens of antique and 
 curious china, as well as views of the principal elevations 
 of Gordon Castle.* 
 
 On pedestals are antique marble busts of Claudius, 
 Trajan, and Adrian, and the mutilated bust of an Apollo 
 Belvidere, conveyed hither after the fire which destroyed 
 Richmond House, at Whitehall. A small marble bust by 
 Turner elli, of George III., a reclining female figure also 
 in marble, a model of a Goodwood Gold Cup, and several 
 smaller pieces, in marble, and bronze, consisting of Vic- 
 tory, Jupiter, Vulcan, Venus, Dejanira, &c, are distri- 
 buted on the chimney pieces, and in various other parts 
 of the Hall. 
 
 Two rare and curious relics of the feudal times are 
 preserved in this Hall, a pair of Curfews; so called from 
 
 * It may be well here to remark, that by the death of the late Duke 
 of Gordon, without issue, in 1836, the princely Estates of that family 
 devolved to the present Duke of Richmond. Alexander, fourth Duke 
 of Gordon, by his will, entailed the Estates on the present Duke of 
 Richmond, whose father the fourth Duke of Richmond married (1789,) 
 Charlotte, eldest daughter of the above named Alexander Duke of 
 Gordon, provided that his son George, fifth and last Duke of Gordon, 
 died without issue- The Estates are situated in Aberdeenshire, 
 Banffshire, Morayshire, and Invernessshire.

 their use, couvre-feu, to cover or extinguish fire. They 
 are made of copper, riveted together, with a handle at 
 the top.* 
 
 The colours of the Royal Sussex Light Infantry Militia, 
 of which the Duke of Richmond is Colonel, presented by 
 his late Majesty, William IV., and a tri-coloured banner, 
 one of those presented by Napoleon at the famous Spec- 
 tacle of the Champ -de -Mai, after the return from Elba, 
 bearing the inscription i( Champ- de- Mai/' and on the 
 reverse " V Empereur Napoleon au Department des 
 Bouches du Rhone" adorn the walls. The latter is the 
 only similar tropy, which is not in the possession of the 
 Duke of Wellington, all of these standards having fallen 
 into the hands of the English after the capture of 
 Paris in 1815. 
 
 * The use of the Curfew has been traced as far back as the ninth 
 century. An universal notion has long existed, that its introduction 
 was to be dated from the Norman conquest, 1066, and popular preju- 
 dice has numbered it among the oppressive acts of William the Con- 
 queror. The custom of extinguishing fires at a certain hour, for 
 which purpose this utensil was applied, had prevailed as far back as 
 the time of Alfred, who, when he founded, or restored, the Uni- 
 versity of Oxford, — " ordained, that all the inhabitants of that city 
 should, at the ringing of the curfew bell every night at eight o'clock, 
 cover up their fires and go to bed." It is therefore more reasonable 
 to conclude, that the Conqueror only revived or continued the cus- 
 tom — the intent being merely to prevent accidents by fire, all the 
 common houses at that time being built of wood. The custom of 
 ringing the curfew bell is still observed in many of our ancient towns, 
 amongst which we may mention Chichester.

 motto "Animo, mm AstiitiA" will not fail to attract the 
 notice of the Visitor. 
 
 We will now direct the attention of the Connoisseur 
 to the beautiful and valuable paintings with which this 
 apartment is embellished. 
 
 1. The Judgement of Paris, Guido. 
 
 (3 ft. 9 in. by 2 ft. 11 in.) 
 The subject, taken from the Mythology, represents Juno, Venus, and 
 Minerva submitting to the decision of Paris, to which of them the Golden 
 Apple of Discordia, inscribed "to the fairest," should belong. Venus in 
 the centre, has possession of the prize. 
 
 Guido, (Rem) a celebrated Italian historical painter, was born at 
 Bologna 1574, and died 1642. His works have ever been deservedly 
 admired through all Europe, and to this day increase in their value. 
 His manner was easy, graceful, and elegant: he was especially re- 
 markable for the delicacy of his ideas, the happy disposition of his 
 objects, and the beautiful expression of his female forms. In subjects 
 tender, pathetic, and devout he peculiarly excelled. His pencil was 
 light, and his touch free, but very delicate ; and although he took 
 great pains to finish his pictures highly, yet he generally gave some 
 bold strokes to his work in order to conceal the time and toil he had 
 bestowed on it. 
 
 2. A Sleeping Venus, Titian. 
 
 (5 ft. by 2 ft. 2 in.) 
 An exquisite specimen of the skill of this unrivalled artist. The beau- 
 tiful figure reposes on a red drapery, with a rich dark back ground. The 
 head is slightly thrown back, presenting the profile of the countenance to 
 the spectator, in which the artist has pourtrayed beauty and sweetness of 
 the divinest sort. The limbs are elegantly disposed; the hues are glowing 
 and transparent; the outline round and undulating ; and the lights and

 shadows so arranged as to display to the best advantage the symmetry of 
 the form. The colouring has all the look of real flesh, and the painting 
 throughout displays that dignity, tenderness, and delicacy for which Titian 
 was so remarkable. 
 
 Titian, (Vecelli) a celebrated historical and portrait painter was 
 born at Friuli about 1480, died 1576. He studied at Venice under 
 Giovanni Bellini, and painted his first portrait, which excited univer- 
 sal admiration at the age of eighteen. He was the friend and 
 contemporary of Ariosto, whose portrait he painted, and was cele- 
 brated by the Poet in his Orlando Furioso. After residing many years 
 at Venice, where he was employed by the Senate to paint many 
 historical works, he was invited to Rome by Pope Paul III. and 
 arrived in that City 1548, where he was received in the most distin- 
 guished manner. He declined a lucrative office which was pressed on 
 his acceptance by the Pope, and at the earnest solicitation of Charles 
 V. he shortly after quitted Rome for Madrid, where he painted most 
 of his admirable pictures. In 1553 Titian returned to Venice, and 
 continued the exercise of his art until 1576, when he died of the 
 plague. As a colourist Titian holds an unrivalled dominion over 
 every competitor. No painter has viewed nature with so chaste an 
 eye, and to none were the tender blandishments of her tinting more 
 confidentially communicated. His female figures and childien are 
 preferable to his men. As a painter of portraits Titian is indisputably 
 entitled to the highest rank, and his excellence in laudscape painting 
 is deserving of no less commendation. 
 
 3. Charity, De la Hire. 
 
 (4: ft. 6 in. by 3/*. 6 in.) 
 This painting represents a female with three children, to one of whom she 
 is affording nourishment from her breast, whilst the other two are playing at 
 her feet. Some ruins form the back ground, of the picture. The effect is 
 pleasing, and the subject ivell conceived, but the colouring is somewhat tame 
 and insipid. 
 
 Hire (Laurence de la.) — A French painter born at Paris, 1606. 
 There are few circumstances deserving of notice in the life of this ar- 
 tist. His general style has been condemned as cold and spiritless. 
 He died in 1666. 
 
22 GOODWOOD. 
 
 4. Virgin and Child, G. Batista Salvi. 
 
 ( 2 ft. 3 in. by 2 ft.) 
 A soft and pleasing Picture, in the style of Guido. 
 G. B. Salvi, an Italian painter, born 1605 ; he confined himself 
 principally to studies and copies from other masters, and seldom 
 ventured on more complicated subjects than such as this picture re- 
 presents. 
 
 5. Portrait, full-length, of the second Duke of Richmond. 
 (5 ft. by 4 ft.) 
 
 This Portrait represents the young' Duke at the age of about 10 years. He 
 is in a sitting attitude, attired in a close red jerkin and a blue cloak, with a 
 spaniel dog by his side. 
 
 A biographical notice of the subject of this painting is given 
 in another part of the work. 
 
 6. Portrait of Robert Bruce. 
 
 {2 ft. 5 in. by 2ft.) 
 The painter of this fine head is unknown. The countenance is most ex- 
 pressive, and the stern determination which marked the character of the 
 Scottish warrior is well pourtrayed. He is represented in mail, a dragon 
 surmounting his helmet as a crest, and a red mantle thrown over the shoulder. 
 
 Robert Bruce, King of Scotland, memorable as the res- 
 torer of the independence of his Country, was born 1275 • 
 defeated the English under Edward I. in the famous battle of 
 Bannockburn, the most decisive victory over the English that 
 the Scottish annals boast. After establishing the independence 
 of his country, he retired to the Castle of Cardross, where he 
 expired in the 54th year of his age and the 24th of his reign, 
 1329, 
 
GOODWOOD. 23 
 
 7. Portrait, full length, of Charles I., in his robes 
 of state, Vandyke. 
 
 (8 ft. 10 in. by 3 ft.) 
 
 The King is represented standing erect in a kind of vestibule, with his 
 right hand placed on his hip, and the left resting on the hilt of his sword ; 
 his countenance, denoting him to be about thirty-six years of age, is seen in 
 a three quarter view, with small pointed beard, mustachoes, and long dark 
 hair; he is attired in his royal robes, composed of dark blue silk, lined and 
 bordered with ermine, and wears the collar and medal of the order of St. 
 George round his neck ; the crown and ball lie on the base of a column in 
 the back ground. 
 
 Charles I. King of England, second son of James I. born in 
 Scotland 1600, ascended the Throne 1625, and beheaded at 
 Whitehall, January 30, 1649. A most munificent Patron of 
 the Arts, and remarkable not less for his munificent patronage 
 than for his judgment and discrimination. " The accession of 
 this Prince," says Walpole, " was the first era of real taste in 
 England. We never had a Prince in whom genius and taste 
 were more elevated and exact. He saw the Arts in a very en- 
 larged point of view j his cabinets were the receptacles only of 
 what was exquisite in sculpture and painting. None but men 
 of the first merit in their profession found encouragement from 
 him : and these abundantly. Inigo Jones was his Architect, 
 and Vandyke his Painter. Charles was a scholar, a man of 
 taste, a gentleman, and a christian." 
 
 Immediately after his accession, Charles began to form his 
 collection. His first purchase was the entire cabinet of the 
 Duke of Mantua, consisting of eighty-two pictures, and es- 
 teemed the most valuable in Europe, for which he paid £20,000 } 
 they were principally by Romano, Titian, and Correggio. Com- 
 missioners were dispatched to the Continent for the purpose of 
 securing the finest pictures. Through the instrumentality of 
 Rubens, Charles purchased the Cartoons of Raphael, now at 
 
24 GOODWOOD. 
 
 Hampton Court ; they had remained in Flanders from the time 
 that Leo X. sent them to be copied in tapestry, the money for 
 the tapestry never having been paid. 
 
 But Charles was by no means satisfied with the mere pur- 
 chase and possession of these noble efforts of genius : it was 
 his wish to surround his person, and fill bis court, with men of 
 eminence, and he spared no pains or expence to effect his ob- 
 ject. Among those who shed a still unfaded lustre over the 
 stormy period of his reign, Rubens and Vandyke occupy the 
 highest place, and it can scarcely be doubted but that much of 
 the deep interest which must ever attach to the melancholy 
 story of the misfortunes and errors of this ill-fated Prince, may 
 be attributed to the almost speaking canvas of Vandyke. It is 
 impossible to contemplate this beautiful picture and not read 
 the character of him whose figure and lineaments it represents. 
 The high resolve which marked him in his hour of pride, and 
 the resignation he displayed on the final scene of his earthly 
 sufferings, are admirably blended in the calm and majestic 
 countenance, which the pencil of this unrivalled artist has ren- 
 dered so familiar to all. 
 
 After the execution of Charles, his personal estate was or- 
 dered to be sold, by a vote of the House of Commons, March 
 23, 1649. But the accession of Cromwell, who occupied both 
 the Whitehall and Hampton Court Palaces, prevented its entire 
 dispersion. A great portion of the catalogue of the pictures, 
 statues, &c. with the prices for which they were sold is still in 
 existence. The produce of the sale including furniture, jewels, 
 &c. amounted to £118,080 10s. 2d. The following is an ab- 
 stract of the sale of the pictures, &c. in the several palaces : —

 Charles was the first English Monarch who opened galleries 
 of painting and sculpture: nor was his inclination for architec- 
 ture less than for the other arts. Had Whitehall Palace been 
 completed as it was contemplated by the King, and conceived 
 by Inigo Jones, it would have been the most truly magnificent 
 and beautiful palace of any of the kind in Europe. The ban- 
 queting room or hall of audience, the fifty-fifth part only of this 
 noble design, was all that was executed. The ceiling was 
 painted by Rubens, and it was the intention of Charles that 
 Vandyke should have covered the walls with the history of the 
 Order of the Garter, a sketch of which was finished in chiaro 
 scuro, but the troubles of the time were threatening, and the 
 palace and the pictures were alike abandoned. By a singular 
 fatality, it was from a window in this hall, the creation of his 
 own taste and munificence that Charles stepped to the block. 
 
 Vandyke (Sir Anthony) born at Antwerp in the year 1599, was a 
 pupil of Rubens, and early gave promise of remarkable talent. By 
 the advice of his master, who candidly confessed that he could teach 
 him nothing more, at the age of 21 he visited Italy, where he quitted 
 much of his Flemish manner, and assumed a style more elevated 
 and refined. At Venice, Geneva, Palermo, Milan and other Cities 
 of less note he left examples of his pencil, and returned to Antwerp 
 at the close of the year 1626. Charles I. having tried in vain to 
 detain Rubens at his Court, turned his attention to Vandyke, with 
 whose merits he was not unacquainted, and an invitation to reside

 in England was gladly accepted by the Artist, who arrived in 1831. 
 His performances during the first six or seven years after his arrival 
 in London are accounted the most estimable. He painted an incredi- 
 ble number of Pictures, principally Portraits. As a colourist, he de- 
 servedly ranks with the first masters : he could imitate to deception 
 the brilliancy of Rubens, as is instanced in many of his early works; 
 or assume the rich and mellow tones of Titian, as is exemplified by 
 the numerous pictures painted by him when in Italy. If some of his 
 works are censured for the predominant brown tints, it should be 
 recollected that they were not so originally, but have become dark 
 from the protrusion of the ground colour, or from being slight and 
 hasty productions. No painter was ever more skilful or dexterous in 
 his art ; his rapid execution was governed by a mastery of touch, 
 accompanied by a lightness and spirit peculiar to himself, and which 
 are frequently the distinguishing characteristics between his works 
 and those of Rubens. In comparison with that illustrious artist, as 
 an historical painter, he was immeasurably inferior ; not so in por- 
 traiture : in this he rises superior, and may also claim an equality 
 with Titian. If he has less dignity in expression than the great Vene- 
 tian, he has infinitely more elegance and grace, as well as natural 
 animation, superadded to chaste and correct drawing, the agreeable 
 art of giving action to his figures, and a more pleasing air to the 
 heads. These excellences he had acquired by studying the peculiar 
 beauties of the best Italian masters, on which he formed a style en- 
 tirely his own, and admirably adapted to pourtray persons of every 
 class and character, which is not the case with the severe and solemn 
 style of Titian.

 Charles II. King of England and Scotland, born 1630, died 
 1685, the son of Charles I. and Henrietta Maria, was a refugee 
 at the Hague at the time of his father's execution. He made a

 spirited attempt to recover the throne, and landing in Scotland, 
 was crowned with great solemnity at Scone in 1651. Being, 
 however, totally defeated by Cromwell at the battle of Worces- 
 ter, after a variety of adventures and imminent hazards, he 
 escaped to France. On the death of the Protector, and by the 
 aid of General Monk, who was then at the head of the principal 
 body of troops, Charles, without a struggle or effort on his part, 
 succeeded at once to all those regal prerogatives which it had 
 cost the nation so much to abridge and afterwards to abolish. 
 He entered London on his birth-day, the 29th of May 1 6 60, amidst 
 the most universal and extraordinary demonstrations of joy. 
 Adversity, however, had done but little towards correcting the 
 weak points of Charles's character. His indifference to the 
 affairs of State, and his thoughtless and extravagant habits, early 
 involved him in difficulties, to extricate himself from which he 
 resorted to the most unworthy expedients. Of his pecuniary 
 transactions with the King of France, no Englishman can 
 think without feelings of shame, or speak but in language of 
 reprobation. The sale of Dunkirk, and the receipt of a pen- 
 sion from Louis XIV. were alike derogatory to the dignity of 
 the nation and disgraceful to the King. It does not form part 
 of the object of this summary to enter into a detail of political 
 events -, but as the house of Richmond owes its origin and ho- 
 nors to this monarch, a brief sketch of his court and personal 
 character may not be misplaced: 
 
 The Count de Grammont, an eye witness, describes the court 
 as " an entire scene of gallantry and amusements, with all the 
 politeness and magnificence which the inclinations of a prince 
 naturally addicted to gallantry and pleasure could suggest." 
 Long accustomed to the license and dissipation of the French 
 Court, Charles had early imbibed habits of self-indulgence which 
 unfitted him for sustaining with honor to himself and advantage 
 to his people, the high and responsible station which he was af- 
 
28 GOODWOOD. 
 
 terwards called on to fill. Surrounded by profligate associates, 
 who were too happy to find an apology for their own follies in 
 the example set them by the King, the Court of this Monarch 
 became*a scene of demoralization which, extending itself to the 
 other classes of society, tended to create a general laxity of 
 morals, and to lower the character of the nation. Buckingham, 
 Rochester, Sedley, and others of a like stamp, remarkable not 
 less for talents which they misapplied than for vices the recol- 
 lection of which has alone preserved to them a painful im- 
 mortality, were the principal actors in this gay and frivolous 
 scene. Charles, throughout the whole period of his reign, was 
 governed by one or other of his favorites, and whom he allowed 
 to exercise a most unfortunate influence over the political events 
 of the times. Among the most conspicuous of these were 
 Louisa de Querouaille, created Duchess of Portsmouth, and 
 who became the mother of Charles Lennox, on whom the 
 King conferred the title of Duke of Richmond j Lady Castle- 
 maine, created Duchess of Cleveland, the mother of Charles 
 Duke of Southampton, Henry Duke of Grafton, George Duke 
 of Northumberland ; and Charlotte, Countess of Lichfield, and 
 Eleanor Gwynn, commonly called Nell Gwynn, the mother of 
 Charles Duke of St. Albans. 
 
 In person, Charles was tall and well proportioned j his com- 
 plexion swarthy, his features singularly austere and forbidding. 
 He inherited from his father a sound and robust constitution, 
 which in his youth he had impaired by indulgence, and after- 
 wards laboured to restore by attention to diet and exercise. 
 The disposition of his mind presented an extraordinary contrast 
 to the harsh and repulsive lines traced on his countenance. As 
 a companion he appears the most amiable and engaging of men ; 
 he was kind, familiar, and communicative. Parade and cere- 
 mony he held in aversion, and could gladly burst from the 
 trammels of official greatness, that he might escape to the ease 
 
GOODWOOD. 29 
 
 and comfort of colloquial familiarity. Whatever might have 
 been his failings, (and they were too glaring to escape observa- 
 tion,) few monarchs were more beloved by their people, and the 
 intelligence of his last illness threw a deep gloom over the na- 
 tion. During his reign, arts improved, trade met with encou- 
 ragement, and the wealth and comforts of the people increased. 
 " Men," says the historian Lingard, " are always ready to 
 idolize the sovereign under whose sway they feel themselves 
 happy." Charles married in 1662, Catherine of Braganza, 
 infanta of Portugal, a virtuous and high minded Princess, though 
 ill calculated to secure and retain his affections. She left no 
 issue, and died at Lisbon, 1705, having survived the King 20 
 years. 
 
 9. Portrait of Louisa de Querouaille, Duchess of Ports- 
 mouth. Sir Godfrey Kneller. 
 
 (7 ft. 9 in. by 4 ft. 10 in.) 
 A full length figure, in an elegant negligee, the countenance being seen in 
 a front vieiv ; the back ground is principally formed by dark flowing dra- 
 pery, which throws out the form with much effect; a black page is introduced 
 in the right hand corner. 
 
 In the preceding sketch of the character of Charles II., allu- 
 sion has been made to his connection with Louis XIV"., and 
 the ascendancy which the Duchess of Portsmouth preserved over 
 the English Court, principally contributed to maintain it. The 
 King of France, desirous of strengthening this connection, and 
 of fixing Charles in the French interests, resolved to bind him 
 by the tie of pleasure, the only one that with him was irre- 
 sistible. Tha Duchess of Orleans (the sister of Charles) was, 
 at the suggestion of Louis, induced to visit her brother at Dover, 
 where she remained ten days. She was accompanied by a young 
 French lady of high birth and great beauty and accomplishments, 
 
30 GOODWOOD. 
 
 well suited and disposed to attract the notice and gain the affec- 
 tions of the fickle King. In this she was perfectly successful, 
 and continued throughout the remainder of his life to exercise 
 an unbounded sway over the mind of Charles, and a direct con- 
 troul over the counsels of the nation. Bishop Burnet, one of 
 the most severe writers on these times, thus speaks of her : — 
 " The King was presently taken with her. She studied to 
 please and observe him in every thing ; so that he passed away 
 the rest of his life in a great fondness for her. He kept her 
 at a vast charge ; and she by many fits of sickness, (some be- 
 lieved real and others thought only pretended) gained of him 
 every thing she desired. She stuck firm to the French interest, 
 and was its chief support. And so entirely was the King pos- 
 sessed by her, and engaged in the French interest, that he was 
 thrown into great difficulties and exposed to much contempt 
 and distrust." 
 
 Charles created " the Lady Louise Ren6e de Penencourt de 
 Querouaille, Duchess of Portsmouth, Countess of Farnham, and 
 Baroness of Petersfield, all in the County of Southampton, to 
 enjoy during her life, by letters patent, dated at Westminster 
 August 19, 1673} and in December in the same year, Louis 
 XIV. granted unto her the territory of Aubine, in France, 
 which by the death of Charles Stuart, 6th Duke of Richmond 
 and Lennox, reverted to the crown, with remainder to such of

 Charles entertained towards this lady a feeling of the great- 
 est affection, and which time served only to increase ; and even 
 in his last moments his anxiety for her future welfare predomi- 
 nated over every other earthly consideration. To use the words 
 of Bishop Burnet, " he recommended her over and over again 
 to the Duke (of York) j he said he had always loved her, and 
 he loved her now to the last, and besought the Duke in as 
 
 to the King of Great Britain, had, by his letters patent, dated in the 
 month of December, 1673, granted to the Lady Louise Renee de Pe- 
 nencourt de Querouaille, Duchess of Portsmouth, the said territory of 
 Aubigny, with all rights to the same belonging, for her life ; remainder 
 to such of the natural male children as she shall have by the King of 
 Great Britain, in tail male, by the said king to be named ; remainder 
 to the crown of Fiance. And whereas the said King of Great Britain 
 had appointed Prince Charles Lennox, Duke of Richmond (his natural 
 son), master of the horse and knight of the garter, to succeed the said 
 Duchess of Portsmouth in the said inheritance ; he, the said King of 
 France being willing to annex to the said inheritance a proper title, 
 and such as should be agreeable to the illustrious birth of the said 
 Duke of Richmond, and at the same time to confer honour on the said 
 Duchess of Portsmouth, whose progenitors always held a considerable 
 rank in the province of Britanny, as well in consideration of their 
 birth, services in the army, as alliance to ancient families, and other- 
 wise, and also considering the great extent of the said territories, 
 consisting of the town of Aubigny, two considerable castles, two pa- 
 rishes and fiefs, extending eight leagues,, with the privilege of resort- 
 ing to the said court and parliament of Paris, &c. ; therefore he unites, 
 creates, and erects the said town, territory, castellany and castle of 
 Aubigny, fiefs, and lands, &c- into a duchy and peerdom of France, 
 with all pre-eminences and prerogatives thereunto appertaining, to be 
 enjoyed by the said Lady Louise Renee de Penencourt de Querouaille, 
 Duchess of Portsmouth, during her life ; and after her decease, by the 
 said Duke of Richmond, and the heirs male of his body, in name, title, 
 and dignity of Dukes of Aubigny, and peers of France; with all juris- 
 diction, rights, honours, authority, &c. belonging to the said dignity, 
 of peers and dukes, and sovereignty of the said duchy ; doing homage 
 to the crown of France/'

 melting words as he could fetch out, to be very kind to her and 
 her son.'' 
 
 The Duchess of Portsmouth, after the death of the King, re- 
 tired to France ; she however visited England in 1699, and 
 died November, 1734. 
 
 Sir Godfrey Kneller, a most distinguished painter, was born at 
 Lubeck in 1648. He studied at Amsterdam under Rembrant, and at 
 17 years of age visited Italy, where he learned that free loose style of 
 painting in which he delighted. In 1674 he came to England, and 
 was introduced by the Duke of Monmouth to Charles II. whose por- 
 traits he painted. He enjoyed the patronage successively of Charles 
 II., James II. and his Queen, William and Mary, Anne, and George I. 
 His portraits of the members of the famous Kit-Cat-Club, (39 in num- 
 ber) were among the latest and best of his productions. Kneller was 
 a most rapid painter ; so much so that where he offered one picture 
 to fame he sacrificed twenty to lucre. He was a correct and graceful 
 designer, and was accustomed to bestow extraordinary pains in deli- 
 neating the features of his female portraits, his drapery and his back 
 grounds being carelessly and indifferently finished—a portion of the 
 picture in fact which he almost invariably entrusted to other hands. 
 He died in London in 1702. 
 
 10. A Portrait of Sir William Waller. Sir P. Lely. 
 
 (2 ft. 6 in. by 2 ft. 4 in.) 
 In half armour, with the head bare; the countenance, which is seen in a 
 three quarter view, is stern and expressive. 
 
 Sir William Waller was a famous Parliamentary General 
 during the civil wars, and well known in Sussex as the com- 
 mander to whom Arundel Castle and the City of Chichester 
 surrendered j the latter after an eight days' siege, 1642-3. 
 An interesting letter of Waller's to Essex is extant, descriptive 
 of the siege of Chichester. It was printed in a small quarto 
 pamphlet of 4 pages " For Henry Twyford, at the Three Dag- 
 gers, in Fleet-street, in 1643 ; a true relation of the fortunate

 11. Portrait of Henrietta Maria, Queen of Charles I. 
 
 Vandyke. 
 
 (8 ft. 10 in. by 3/f.) 
 
 The Queen is elegantly attired in a white satin dress, richly ornamented 
 with lace. The face is presented in a front view, and the hair is tastefully 
 arranged in ringlets. Her right hand rests on a table, on which are seen 
 the crown, and a bouquet of roses, most exquisitely finished ; her left hand 
 slightly holding up her dress. This admirable picture is a companion to the 
 one by the same artist of Charles I. The attitude is easy and natural, and 
 the disposition of the drapery graceful and correct. 
 
 Henrietta Maria was the sixth and youngest daughter of 
 Henry IV. of France, by Mary, daughter of Francis de Medici, 
 grand Duke of Tuscany, and was born on the 25th Nov. 1609, 
 and married Charles I. King of England in June, 1625. Hen- 
 rietta Maria was unfortunately a zealous disciple of the Church 
 of Rome, a religion to which at that time the mass of the people 
 were strongly opposed. After the assassination of the Duke 
 of Buckingham, the friend and confidant of Charles, the Queen 
 alone shared his entire confidence, and it is to be feared by her 
 counsels, contributed to lay the foundation of those differences 
 between the King and his Parliament, which eventually cost 
 him his throne and his life. 
 
 She was a woman of undaunted courage and resolution, and 
 her manners and disposition were so engaging that she failed 
 not to interest in her behalf all who came within the sphere of 
 her personal influence. By her activity and address, Charles 
 was often supplied with the means of carrying on the war.

 After her return from Holland, whither she went for the pur- 
 pose of procuring money and arms, by her own efforts she 
 raised and equipped a powerful force at York, consisting of 
 thirty troops of horse and three thousand infantry, at whose 
 head she rode and met the king at Edge Hill. In 1644, hav- 
 ing been impeached by the Commons of high treason, at the 
 earnest solicitation of Charles, she quitted England for France, 
 where she resided, with little exception, till her death in 1669

 {2 ft. by 1 ft. 8 in.) 
 Trevisani, a distinguished Italian painter, born 1656, died 1760. 
 He lived many years, enjoying a high reputation, at Rome, and was 
 much employed by Pope Clement XI. in painting sacred subjects. He 
 peculiarly excelled in copying the best pictures of more eminent ar- 
 tists, and he executed many capital pictures from Coreggio, Parme- 
 giano and Paul Veronese, for the Duke of Modena.

 Distinguished from the one recently noticed, by the same artist, by the 
 more youthful appearance and greater beauty of the subject ; the hands are 
 crossed on the breast, and the countenance is turned upwards and expressive 
 of the deepest devotion ; it is a very pleasing and beautiful picture.

 The coloring, with the exception of the countenance, which is seen in a 
 front view, is dark, and the details indistinct. This picture cannot cer- 
 tainly be classed among Kneller's best performances. 
 
 This nobleman was the natural son of King Charles II. and 
 Louise de Querouaille, Duchess of Portsmouth, born July 29, 
 1672 ) Charles, being present at his baptism, gave him the sur- 
 name of Lennox, and his own christian name. In the first year 
 of his age, he was created, by his royal father, Baron of Set- 
 rington, Earl of March, and Duke of Richmond, by letters pa- 
 tent, dated at Westminster, August 9th, 1675. 
 
 The title and estates of the Richmond and Lennox family 
 of the Stuart line having devolved to the Crown on the death 
 of James Stuart, Duke of Richmond, the husband of the 
 beautiful and accomplished Miss Stewart, and a most honorable 
 and high-minded nobleman, " his Majesty considering with 
 what lustre and glory the house of Lennox had shone in 
 former times, and in order that the honor might be again 
 revived, bestowed the estate of Lennox on his son, and by let- 
 ters patent, passed in Scotland on September 9th, 1675, 
 created him Duke of Lennox, Earl of Darnley, and Baron Me- 
 thuen of Torbolton, and the heirs male of his body." 
 
 He was elected on April 7, 1681, Knight Companion of the 
 Garter, and installed at Windsor on the 20th of the same month. 
 On the removal of the Duke of Monmouth, he was made Mas- 
 ter of the Horse to the King, but on the accession of King 
 James II. to the Throne, his mother having promoted the Bill 
 of Exclusion, he was removed from that office. He was em- 
 ployed in active service in Flanders, during the reign of William 
 III., to whom he served as Aid-de-Camp. He was also one of 
 the Lords of the Bedchamber to George I. He married 1692, 
 Anne, second daughter of Francis Lord Brudenel, eldest son 
 of Robert Earl of Cardigan, and left issue : — first, Charles se- 
 cond Duke of Richmond, Lennox, and Aubigny; second, Louise,

 Access from the Hall to the other parts of the house 
 is obtained by four lofty entrances, two on either side, 
 leading to the Dining, Music, Drawing, and Billiard 
 Rooms. Crossing the Hall to the left, we enter the 
 
 Dining Room, 
 The general design of which was suggested from the 
 drawings of Denon, the French antiquary, who accom- 
 panied Napoleon and his army to Egypt. The walls are 
 of scagliola, resembling a rich polished Sienna marble, 
 and adorned with classical ornaments in bronze ; at the 
 upper end is a noble looking glass, inserted in a fascia 
 of grey marble, before which, on a low pedestal, stands 
 a vase of Egyptian porphry, and on each side are small 
 tables of choice granite. The lower end, or principal 
 entrance of the room forms an alcove, in which are two 
 niches containing marble busts of 
 
 1. The third Duke of Richmond, 
 
 2. The Marquis of Rockingham, Nollekens. 
 
 And on two small semi-circular granite tables to corres-

 its extent is considerable, being in length upwards of 45 
 feet, in width 24 feet, and in height 18 feet. Re-crossing 
 the vestibule to the right, we enter the 
 
 Drawing Room. 
 A magnificent apartment, fitted up with a splendour 
 suitable to the principal saloon of a Ducal residence. 
 Nothing is here wanting which wealth and taste can 
 supply. The decorations and furniture are of the 
 most elegant and costly description : the walls are hung 
 in rich amber-colored silk taboret, with full draperies 
 to the three windows, and the luxuriant sofas, ottomans, 
 couches, and cabriole chairs, are covered in the same 
 material. 
 
 Between the windows and over the fire places are four 
 brilliant plate glasses of noble proportions ; beneath the 
 two former, which are in frames finely carved and gilt, 
 are two splendid console tables of Sienna marble highly 
 polished, and supported by carved work, finely gilt, in 
 the florid style of Louis XIV. On these, in addition to 
 two French enamelled and ormolu time pieces of the same 
 age, are costly sets of French china, in blue, green, and 
 gold, exquisitely painted from subjects in natural his- 
 tory, presented by Louis XV. to the third Duke of 
 Richmond, when ambassador at the Court of Versailles. 
 
 On a handsome mahogany pedestal between the win-

 * Mrs. Damer was the only child of Field Marshal Henry Seymour 
 Conway, and was born 1748. She presents an almost singular instance 
 of a young and beautiful woman, of high birth and connections, and 
 amply blessed with wealth, resigning the ease and luxury of life, the 
 attractions of society, and the devotion of the world, to cultivate with 
 ardour and perseverance, an art, than which none requires more in- 
 cessant drudgery, or demands a greater sacrifice of time and patience- 
 Mrs. Darner's genius was of a high order, and " many of her busts 
 from the life are not inferior to the antique." Among her principal 
 performances were, a bust of Charles James Fox, presented on the 
 1st May, 1815, in person, to Napoleon ; abust of Nelson, heroic size, 
 of Sir H. Davy, of the Duchess of Devonshire, of Sir J. Banks, and a 
 statue, eight feet high, of George III. 
 
 Independently of her attachment to, and proficiency in sculpture, 
 Mrs. Damer was no ordinary woman ; she was the friend and admirer 
 of Fox, and joined the Duchess of Devonshire in the famous canvass 
 of Westminster ; she sent her respects and good wishes to Napoleon 
 as he departed for the last of his fields, and she entertained Queen 
 Caroline during her memorable trial. She was the friend and com- 
 panion of Josephine Beauharnois, nor was she forgotten when that 
 extraordinary woman became Empress of France ; the present of a 
 valuable piece of china, and an invitation to Paris, were the proofs of 
 her attachment and sincerity. Mrs. Damer died in the spring of 
 1828, in the eightieth year of her age.

 the Order of the Garter. The air of courtliness and dignity, so charac- 
 teristic of Monmouth, is well expressed in this admirable picture. 
 
 James, Duke of Monmouth, natural son of Charles II. by 
 Lucy Walters, born 1650, beheaded 15th July, 1685. Repos- 
 sessed qualities well calculated to render him an ornament of 
 the Court, and a favourite of the English people, — an affable 
 address, a thoughtless generosity, and a graceful person -, he 
 was always a great favourite with his father, who lavished on 
 him extraordinary honors. To this partiality, combined with 
 his general popularity, may be ascribed the rash attempt which 
 he afterwards made to dethrone his uncle James II., and which 
 terminated in his total defeat at the battle of Sedgemore. 
 James's conduct towards Monmouth has been justly condemned 
 as harsh and unfeeling. He met his fate with a courage suited 
 to his rank and character. 
 
 24. A Battle Piece between the Austrians and the Turks. 
 
 Breydell, (Charles.) 
 
 (Iff. 1 in. by 8 in.) 
 Forming a pair with No. 37. A most spirited composition. 
 Breydell (Charles), born at Antwerp, 1677, died 1744. He was a 
 pupil of Rysbrack, the landscape painter ; he, however, is more re- 
 puted as a painter of battles, and attacks of cavalry, which are inge- 
 niously composed and executed with spirit.

 The subject of this picture is represented with his hand resting on the 
 head of a large dog. He wears a cuirass, with red sleeves slashed, his light 
 brown hair falls over the shoulders, and the countenance, a three-quarter 
 view, is eminently handsome. 
 
 Thomas Killegrew, Page of Honor to Charles I. and Groom 
 of the Bedchamber to Charles IT., born 1611, died 1682, au- 
 thor of several comedies and tragedies. He was a favorite 
 and boon companion of the " Merry Monarch," of whose court 
 he was one of the most distinguished wits. 
 
 26. A Head painted on wood. Subject and artist un- 
 known. 
 
 27. Ruins and Sea-port, Salvator Rosa. 
 
 (7 ft. by 5 ft.) 
 
 This picture, from its merits and position, is one of the most sticking in 
 the room ; it represents a sea port crowded with ships and galleys, and nu- 
 merous figures engaged in occupations connected with the subject ; on the 
 right hand are fine and picturesque ruins, the coloring, especially of the sky, 
 is clear and transparent. 
 
 Salvator Rosa, a celebrated Italian painter of history, landscapes, 
 battles, and sea pieces, was born 1614 and died 1673. His pictures 
 were principally distinguished by boldness and grandeur of concep- 
 tion. Sea-ports, with figures, were favorite subjects of his pencil, 
 and are highly esteemed : but his great excellence lay in landscape ; 
 and he delighted in representiug scenes of desolation, solitude and 
 danger, gloomy forests, rocky shores, lonely dells leading to caverns 
 of banditti, alpine bridges, trees scathed by lightning, and skies low- 
 ring with thunder. One of his most famous pictures, Saul and the 
 Witch of Endor, is at Versailles.

 Vander Meulen, a Flemish painter, born 1634, died 1690, was 
 much employed by Louis XIV. whom he attended in several cam- 
 paigns, for the purpose of representing his victories ; and hence he is 
 distinguished by the number and excellence of his battle pieces.

 (l/t.by Win.) 
 The subjects of Teniers are chiefly taken from low life ; the sports, 
 pastimes, and occupations of the peasantry, have been admirably de- 
 lineated by his pencil ; his smaller pieces have been preferred to his 
 larger ones. His pictures are generally clear in all their parts, and 
 beautifully transparent. His principal subjects are landscapes and 
 interior views, with figures, merry-makings, fairs, drinking bouts, 
 and village diversions and sports. He was born at Antwerp, 1610, 
 and died 1694.

 35. Portrait of Carew, Vandyke. 
 
 (Bft.2in.by2ft.8in. 
 
 The subject of this admirable picture is represented in the act of speaking. 
 The countenance is lightened up, as if the painter had transferred to his can- 
 vass the mind as well as the features of the man. The expression of the 
 whole figure is most spirited. 
 
 Carew was of the Privy Council of Charles I. ; he was a ce- 
 lebrated wit and poet of his day, and his productions still find 
 a place among the choicest collections of the early English 
 writers. He was born 1590 and died 1639. 
 
 36. Portrait of a Flemish Nobleman, Rembrant. 
 
 (7ft.by4ft.6in.) 
 
 This noble picture, certainly one of the gems of the collection, represents 
 the figure of a man in the prime of life ; the expression of the countenance 
 is open and manly, the figure easy and dignified. There is a sombre majesty 
 thrown over the whole ichich rivets the attentim of the beholder. A dark 
 mantle over a rich drab dress, with a cap and feather on the high and 
 haughty broio, complete the equipment. 
 
 Rembrant, a most eminent and distinguished painter, was born at 
 Leyden, 1606, and died 1674. He has been termed by Fuseli a 
 meteor in art. He was chiefly a painter of portraits, and in a faithful 
 representation of nature, in simplicity of expression, individuality of 
 character, and an unconstrained action, combined with uncommon 
 strength of expression both in look and gesture, none can be said to 
 have surpassed him. His landscapes are among the rarest of his works. 
 11 Breadth and squareness of execution, and brilliancy of effect, are 
 the main characteristics of his style."

 38. Head of a young Warrior, Guercino. 
 
 (2 f t by 1 ft. 10 in.) 
 The coloring- of this picture is vigorous and brilliant, and the counte- 
 nance, which is seen in a three-quarter view, is full of energy and animation* 
 A cap and plume overshadow the forehead, and give an elevated expression 
 to the features. 
 
 Guercino, or Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, a celebrated Italian 
 painter, born 1590, died 1666. His pictures are remarkable for dis- 
 playing three distinct styles, which he adopted in different periods of 
 his life ; his first was copied from Caravaggio, in which his colouring is 
 not deemed harmonious ; his second and best was compounded of the 
 Roman, Venetian, and Bolognese schools ; his last manner was a pal- 
 pable imitation of Guido, in which his efforts were not perfectly 
 successful. 
 
 39. Portrait of a Gentleman, name unknown, 
 
 Tintoretto. 
 
 (3 ft. 6 in. by 2 ft. 10 in.) 
 
 A fine and striking picture. It represents a man of middle age, in a 
 high black dress, slightly open in front, shewing a red vest under ; his left 
 arm is leaning on a table which is covered with an embroidered cloth, and 
 his right hand rests on the hilt of his sword, he wears a dark low cap. The 
 coloring is most effective, the stern and expressive features are admirably 
 opposed to the deep shadoivs of the dress and back ground, and the attitude 
 is easy and dignified. 
 
 Tintoretto, one of the most eminent painters of the Italian school, 
 was a pupil of Titian, and many of his pictures bear a strong resem- 
 blance to those of his master, a fact evident in this specimen of his 
 genins. He was highly esteemed at Venice, where he painted several 
 noble pictures for the Doge and Senate. His manner is singularly 
 
GOODWOOD. 47 
 
 bold and free, and his judicious introduction of strong lights and deep 
 shadows gives a peculiar depth and energy to his subjects.

 41. Portrait of the Marquis of Montrose. Vandyke. 
 
 (2/*.byljft.8i».) 
 
 The face is represented in a three-quarter view, and the head is unco- 
 vered ; the dress red and open at the breast. 
 
 The Marquis of Montrose was one of the most distinguished 
 victims of the civil wars ; he deservedly possessed the friend- 
 ship and confidence of Charles I., to whom he rendered nume- 
 rous and valuable services. After the execution of the king, he 
 landed in Scotland and endeavoured to raise troops for the 
 young prince ; being however defeated and taken, he was car- 
 ried to Edinburgh, where every indignity which malice could 
 invent was heaped upon him j he was hanged on the 21st of 
 May, 1650. Montrose was a man of the most undaunted cou- 
 rage, and his high and chivalrous character, combined with his 
 melancholy fate, have attached the deepest interest to his name 
 and story. 
 
 42. Portrait of James Stuart, Duke of Richmond, Lely. 
 
 (2 ft. 4in.by 2ft.) 
 
 This nobleman was the eldest son of Esme Stuart, Duke of 
 
 Lennox, (first cousin once removed to King James I.,) born 
 
 1612, died 1055. He was the personal friend of Charles I. 
 
 whose confidence he enjoyed and merited throughout the whole

 of the Civil War : he followed with unshrinking courage the 
 sinking fortunes of his master, and after the execution of Charles, 
 was permitted to perform the last melancholy office of consign- 
 ing his remains to the grave. He married the only daughter 
 of the favorite Buckingham, assassinated by Felton at Ports- 
 mouth, and left one son, who died at the age of ten years, and 
 one daughter, who married the Earl of Arran, second son of 
 James Duke of Ormond.

 It represents a warrior in armour, ivho may be supposed to have been 
 taken prisoner, bound to two trees and left to perish ; a rude crucifix lies 
 below him. The style is bold, and the coloring is deep and vivid. 
 
 45. Portrait of Marie de Medici, Pourbus, Jun. 
 
 (3/f. 9 in. by 3 ft. 2 in.) 
 
 The widow of Henri IV. of France, and mother of Henrietta Maria, 
 Queen of Charles I. She is represented in a mourning habit, holding in 
 her hand two roses, and on a table by her side is the crown of France. 
 
 Marie de Medici played a conspicuous part in the affairs of 
 France after the death of Henri IV. by the ascendancy which 
 she acquired over her son. She was a woman of weak charac- 
 ter, wanting both firmness and sagacity ; over the mind of her 
 husband she had never succeeded in exercising any influence j 
 she was not remarkable for her personal charms.

 Oft. 7 in. by lft. 2 in.) 
 Representing an old woman warming her hands over afire, the reflection 
 from which throws a red tinge over the whole. This picture has been always 
 ascribed to F. Halls, a famous portrait painter, contemporary with Van- 
 dyke. It seems, however, from its style and general character, more 
 probably to be the work of his brother, Dirk Halls, a Flemish artist, wetf 
 known for his humorous and comic subjects. 
 
 47. Portrait of Charles Lennox, second Duke of Rich- 
 
 mond. 
 
 (2 ft. 6 in. by 2 ft.) 
 A small whole length, in full black dress, and standing in a kind of ves- 
 tibule and library. 
 
 Charles, second Duke of Richmond, Lennox, and Aubigny, 
 in the life -time of his father, was chosen a Member of the House 
 of Commons for the City of Chichester, as also for the borough 
 of Newport in the county of Southampton, in the Parliament 
 summoned to meet on May 10, 1722. And when George I. 
 revived the antient military Order of Knighthood of the Bath, 
 he was declared one of the Knights of that Order, anno. 1725. 
 Also, on May 26, 1726, was elected one of the Knights Com- 
 panions of the most noble Order of the Garter, and installed at 
 Windsor on June 1 6 following ; at which time he was one of 
 the Lords of the Bedchamber, and Aid-de-Camp to his Majesty. 
 Likewise, on the accession of George II. he was constituted one 
 of the Lords of the Bedchamber, as also Aid- de-Camp to his 
 Majesty ; and at his coronation, on October 17, 1727, was 
 High-Constable of England for the day.

 his Grace was made Brigadier-general ; on February 16, 1739- 
 40, elected one of the Governors of the Charter-house ; on May 
 12, 1740, declared one of the Lords' Justices for the adminis- 
 tration of the government during his Majesty's absence $ Janu- 
 ary 1, 1741-2, constituted Major-general, and of the Staff of 
 General Officers for South Britain, also June 6, 1745, promoted 
 to the rank of Lieutenant-general. In 1743 his Grace attend- 
 ed the King during the campaign, and was present at the bat- 
 tle of Dettingen, June 27. He had been declared one of the 
 Lords' Justices of the kingdom before his Majesty's departure, 
 and was also in that most honorable trust in 1 745 . 
 
 The same year the Pretender's eldest son, Charles, landing in 
 Scotland, and advancing as far as Derby, his Grace attended 
 the Duke of Cumberland in his expedition against the insur- 
 gents, and assisted in the reduction of Carlisle. In 1748, his 
 Grace was again appointed one of the Lords' Justices of the 
 kingdom, as also in 1750. On the death of the Duke of So- 
 merset, he was chosen High- steward of the City of Chichester -, 
 and his Grace accompanying the Duke of Newcastle to his in- 
 stallation at Cambridge, was admitted to the degree of Doctor 
 of Physic, July 3, 1749. In August following, his Grace and 
 the Duchess set out for France, to see his territories there, and 
 returned to their house in Privy-gardens, October 27, the same 
 year. On February 1 7 following,, his Grace was constituted 
 Colonel of the royal regiment of horse guards ; and departed 
 this life, generally lamented, August 8, 1750.

 Adrian Van Ostade, a Flemish painter of great eminence, born 
 1610, died 1685. His subjects are usually taken from low life, and 
 bear much resemblance to those of Teniers ; his figures are universally 
 admired, and there is a peculiar and uncommon transparence through 
 all his works. Ostade's pictures are now very scarce, and bring high 
 prices. 
 
 49. Exterior of a Monastery, J. Vander Heyden. 
 
 (11 in. by 8 in.) 
 
 Forming a pair with No. 62; a most elaborately finished picture ; all the 
 detail of the building is given with singular accuracy and fidelity, without 
 being hard or stiff; the coloring is light and transparent. 
 
 J. Vander Heyden, a celebrated Dutch painter, born 1637, died 
 1712. His best pieces represent picturesque views of the diff erent 
 towns in Holland, in which he has introduced the most minute sub- 
 jects with extraordinary neatness and precision. The lightness of his 
 touch, and the mellowness of his colouring, take away all appearance 
 of drudgery and labour.

 This picture is a good specimen of the style and talents of Mola ; the con- 
 ception is bold and the coloring vigorous. 
 
 P. F. Mola, an eminent Italian artist, born 1609, died 1665. The 
 pictures of Guercino were particularly the objects of his admiration; 
 his scenery is sometimes solemn and sublime, his touch firm and free, 
 and his colouring unusually vigorous and glowing ; his figures are usu- 
 ally taken from some history or fable.

 (lft. 7 in.by lft. 3 in.) 
 
 Representing the interior of a prison, in which is a female strongly hound 
 and guarded ; she is condemned according to the inscription to the pains of 
 torture, by having her breasts cut off. St. Peter appears to her in the 
 night, and is seen placing his right hand on her breast and pointing his left 
 to an angel, who is descending with a palm branch and a wreath of roses in 
 his hand. 
 
 Barrocio (Frederico), a painter of eminence, born at Urbino 
 1528, died 1612. His best pictures are sacred subjects, painted at 
 Rome, which he twice visited. An elegant taste and great harmony 
 of coloring are most to be admired in his works. He adopted the

 manner of Coreggio as the model of his imitation, with whom, how- 
 ever, he cannot be compared. 
 
 55. The Nativity, Barrocio.

 Another and better specimen of this artist's performance. The infant

 A highly finished copy from one of the old masters ; it represents only 
 the figure of the crucified Saviour, which occupies the centre of the picture ; 
 the time chosen seems to be when " there was darkness from the sixth hour

 with the paleness of the flesh.

 picture.

 John Sobieski, King of Poland, an eminent warrior and

 An unfinished sketch representing the arch-angel with a flaming sword, 
 overthrowing the rebellious angels. It is executed with much spirit and 
 freedom, but displays no evidence of finish ; the conception is grand and 
 sublime. It is believed to have been the original design of the large paint- 
 ing of the same subject, now in the church of Capuchin Convent, at Rome, 
 and which is considered to be Guido' s finest production ; the figure of the 
 arch-angel has been termed the Apollo Belvidere of painting.

 of their reckoning, the state of their finances is emphatically told 
 to him by the one that is holding up his empty inverted glass, while 
 the other is employing all his eloquence, and the last full glass of 
 liquor left, to appease his anger ; the ludicrous countenance of the 
 Boy-waiter, who is holding out his disappointed, yet expecting 
 hand, together with the hasty manner in which the hostess is seen 
 removing from the table some silver plate is truly laughable. 
 
 Giles Van Tilburg, born at Brussels, 1625, became a pupil of

 Sir Peter Paul Rubens, one of the most consummate painters that 
 ever lived, was born at Antwerp 1577, died 1640. He early obtained 
 a high celebrity through Europe, and visited England during the reign 
 of Charles I., being employed in a ministerial capacity by the King 
 of Spain. From Charles he received the honor of knighthood as a 
 public acknowledgment of his merit. His style of coloring is lively, 
 glowing and natural, his expression noble and just, and his invention 
 amazingly fertile. His pencil is mellow, his execution remarkably 
 free, and his pictures are finished in such a manner as to produce a 
 pleasing and a striking effect. He is by all allowed to have carried 
 the art of coloring to its highest pitch ; for he so thoroughly understood 
 the true principles of the chiaro scuro, and so judiciously and happily 
 managed it, that he gave the utmost roundness, relief, and harmony, 
 to each particular figure, and to the whole together ; and his groups 
 were disposed with such accurate skill, as to attract, and indeed ge- 
 nerally to compel, the eye of the spectator to the principal object. 
 His draperies are simple, but grand, broad, and well placed ; and his 
 carnations have truly the look of nature, and the warmth of real life. 
 The greatest excellence of Rubens appeared in his grand composi- 
 tions ; for, as they were to be seen at a distance, he laid on a proper 
 body of colours with an uncommon freedom of hand, and fixed all his 
 different tints in their proper places ; by which method he never im- 
 paired their lustre by breaking or torturing them, but touched them 
 only in such a manner as to give them a lasting force, beauty, and 
 harmony. He also painted landscapes admirably, in a style scarce 
 inferior to Titian, with unusual force and truth, though the forms of 
 his trees are not always elegant. It would require a volume to recite 
 and describe the prodigious number of pictures painted by this truly 
 famous artist ; every part of Europe possessing some of the produc- 
 tions of his pencil. Rubens was an elegant and accomplished scholar.

 One of the best pictures of the collection ; numerous figures on foot and

 his prancing. 
 
 Philip Wovermans, (or Wouwermans) was born at Haerlem, 1620. 
 Although a painter of uncommon talent, he struggled with poverty 
 throughout the whole of his life. His works possess all the excel- 
 lencies we can wish, — high finishing, correctness, agreeable composi- 
 tions, and a charming taste for coloring. His pictures usually repre- 
 sent hunting and hawking parties, horse fairs, encampments, halts of 
 travellers, and other subjects, into which he could introduce horses, 
 which he designed with a correctness and spirit which have never 
 been equalled. He had an amazing command of his pencil, so that 
 instantly and effectually he expressed every idea conceived in his 
 mind, and gave to his pictures an astonishing force, by broad masses 
 of lights and shadows, by contrasting his lights and shadows with 
 peculiar judgment, and giving an uncommon degree of transparence 
 to the coloring of the whole. The pencil of Wovermans was mellow, 
 and his touch free, though his pictures were finished most delicately ; 
 his distances recede with true perspective beauty, and his skies, air, 
 trees, and plants, are all exact and lovely imitations of nature. He 
 died 1688.

 Peter Neefs, an eminent Flemish painter, was born 1570, died 
 1651 ; he particularly excelled in delineating churches, convents, and

 ness of penciling, and such truth and patience, as made them rather 
 objects of wonder than of imitation.

 attaches to this illustrious lady as the mother of the high-spi- 
 rited but unfortunate Lord Edward Fitzgerald, the talented and 
 courageous leader of the Irish Insurrection in 1/98. The 
 deeply interesting story of his melancholy fate has been made 
 the subject of an admirable piece of biography by his country-

 The third Duke of Richmond was born Feb. 22, l735-fi, and 
 succeeded to the title and estates at the early age of fifteen. 
 
GOODWOOD. 63 
 
 Like his father he chose the military profession, and in 1756 
 was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel of the thirty-third Regiment 
 of Foot ; two years after, he received the command of the se- 
 venty-second, and in 1/61 obtained the rank of a Major General. 
 
 On the accession of George III. his Grace was appointed a 
 Lord of the Bedchamber, and at the Coronation carried the 
 sceptre and dove. In 1763 he was appointed Lord Lieutenant 
 and Custos Rotulorum of the County of Sussex, which office he 
 held till his death. 
 
 Great attention was paid to his education, and when only 
 sixteen he set out on his travels, and remained some time abroad. 
 While on the Continent, the Duke of Richmond appears to have 
 imbibed a taste for the fine arts ; and there is but little doubt 
 that the encouragement first afforded by him to the British ar- 
 tists, finally led to the establishment of the present Royal Aca- 
 demy. In March 1758, he opened a large apartment at his 
 house in Whitehall, in which was displayed a large collection 
 of original plaster-casts, taken from the best ancient statues 
 and busts both of Rome and Florence. Every painter, sculp- 
 tor, or student, was freely admitted j and, for the further en- 
 couragement of genius, his Grace bestowed two medals annually 
 on such as had exhibited the two best models. 
 
 The Duke took his seat in the House of Lords 1756, and at- 
 tached himself to the Whig interest, which at that period was 
 headed by the first Duke of Newcastle. In 1776 he succeeded 
 the Duke of Grafton in the office of Secretary of State for the 
 Southern Department, under Lord Rockingham. The adminis- 
 tration, however, held the seals of office but for a short time, 
 and gave place to Lord North, who, during his memorable ca- 
 reer, involved the country in a war with France, Spain, and 
 Holland, lost America, and doubled the National Debt. 
 
 During the whole of this momentous period, from 1/67 to 
 to 1782, the Duke continued uniformly in the opposition. At 
 
64 GOODWOOD. 
 
 the very commencement of the conflict, he deprecated a rupture 
 with our Colonies ; and on the 18th of May, 1770, after an in- 
 troductory speech, proposed eighteen resolutions to the House 
 of Peers, which produced one of the most animated debates 
 that ever occurred in Parliament. The misconduct of ministers 
 during the four preceding years, was laid open in terms equally 
 pointed and severe j and the future separation of the Trans- 
 Atlantic provinces from the mother-country, was predicted with 
 a degree of confidence and certainty that excites our wonder at 
 the present moment. 
 
 In addition to his determined opposition to the American 
 war, his Grace was one of the strongest advocates for a Parlia- 
 mentary Reform j and the measure which he introduced into the 
 House of Lords in 1 781 on that important subject, was similar 
 in many of its provisions to the famous Bill which in 1832 his 
 illustrious descendant, as a cabinet minister, assisted to frame 
 and carry, in the same assembly. 
 
 The Duke's plan was to make the election of the representa- 
 tives of the people annual, and the right of voting universal. 
 
 The kingdom of Great Britain was to be divided into five 
 hundred districts ; each district to contain an equal population, 
 and to choose one member. 
 
 The election to begin and end in one day. 
 
 The people to be registered in each district three months be- 
 fore the election, with their profession, trade, or employment, 
 and the street or place of their abode. 
 
 To give their votes in the parish-church of their residence 
 before the church- wardens, who were to close the poll at the 
 setting of the sun on the day the election was to commence, 
 and deliver the same, personally, to the sheriff of the district, 
 who was to sum up the whole on that day se'nnight, at the 
 most central town of the district, and make his return of the 
 person who had a majority of the suffrages of the people. 
 
GOODWOOD. 65 
 
 Every male person in the country, who had attained the age 
 of twenty-one years (criminals and insane persons only ex- 
 cepted), to have a vote in the election of the representatives of 
 the people. 
 
 The Duke of Richmond had now become one of the most 
 popular men in the kingdom, and he seemed, by every means 
 in his power, to court the respect and esteem of his fellow -citi- 
 zens. He, as well as the late Duke of Norfolk, and several 
 other persons of the first consideration, had become a member 
 of the Constitutional Society. His zeal for Parliamentary 
 Reform was so glowing and ardent, that he became a delegate 
 from the county of Sussex, for the purpose of obtaining the 
 completion of this measure. When the Convention expressly 
 assembled with this view, met at the St. Alban's Tavern, his 
 Grace of Richmond was unanimously chosen President. 
 
 On the retirement of Lord North in 1 782, Lord Rockingham 
 and the Whigs again came into office, and the Duke of Richmond 
 was appointed Master General of the Ordnance j within a few 
 months, however, this administration was dissolved, and his 
 Grace joined a strong opposition, under a young and eloquent 
 leader, William Pitt, which by an unexampled degree of good 
 fortune, uniting in their own persons both the royal and popular 
 favour, fairly drove their enemies from the field and once more 
 clothed themselves with the spoils ; on this occasion, December 
 1783, the Duke of Richmond accepted his old office at the Ord- 
 nance, which he retained till the latter end of the year 1795. 
 
 During these many years his Grace directed his attention to 
 the improvement of the fortifications of the island j and so ex- 
 tensive and costly were his plans to effect his object, that the 
 House of Commons took the alarm, and the whole scheme was 
 set aside, after a decision in which the casting vote of the 
 Speaker turned the balance. 
 
 Shortly after the resignation of his office, his Grace retired 
 
66 GOODWOOD. 
 
 from public life and devoted himself to the improvement of his 
 estates ; he lived almost wholly at Goodwood, and personally 
 superintended the extensive alterations which he contemplated, 
 and lived to carry in a great measure into effect. He died at 
 Goodwood, Dec. 29, 1806, in the 70th year of his age, and was 
 buried in the family vault in the Cathedral Church of Chichester. 
 The Duke of Richmond is acknowledged to have been one of 
 the greatest men of his day, and to have derived this greatness 
 neither from his rank, which was eminent, nor his fortune, 
 which he had, by a prudent economy in his establishment, 
 greatly increased, but by his talents and abilities alone. 
 
 Reynolds (Sir Joshua), a celebrated English historical and portrait 
 painter, born at Plympton, near Plymouth, Devonshire, in 1723, and 
 died 1792. He early gave indication of his taste and talents for paint- 
 ing, and was placed under Hudson, then esteemed the best artist of 
 the day ; at the end of two years his proficiency was such as to excite 
 the envy of his master, and they soon separated. Reynolds returned 
 to Devonshire, where he pursued the practice of a portrait painter. 
 It seems at this time that his talents attracted the attention of Lord 
 Mount Edgecumbe, and Captain afterwards Lord Keppell, from whom, 
 then on the Mediterranean station, he accepted an invitation to visit 
 Italy, where he remained three years. On his return, he established 
 himself in London, and it was not long before his performances were 
 known and appreciated. In a full length portrait of his friend and 
 patron, Keppell, he exhibited such powers that he was universally 
 acknowledged to be at the head of his profession, and the greatest 
 painter that England had seen since Vandyke. 
 
 In 1768 the Royal Academy was founded, and Reynolds was nomi- 
 nated President, the King conferring on him the honor of knighthood. 
 
 In portraiture he was eminently successful ; instead of confining 
 himself to mere likenesses, in which he was always happy, he dived, 
 as it were, into the mind, habits, and manners of those who sat to him, 
 and accordingly the majority of his portraits are so admirable and 
 characteristic, that the many illustrious persons whom he has deli- 
 neated will be almost as well known to posterity as if they had seen 
 and conversed with them. 
 
GOODWOOD. 67 
 
 Colouring was evidently his first excellence, to which all others were 
 more or less sacrificed. In history, he does not appear to possess 
 much fertility of invention ; as, whenever he has introduced a striking 
 figure, it may commonly be traced and found to belong to some of his 
 predecessors ; and, at the utmost, he can only be allowed the merit 
 of skilful adaption: but in portrait, the variety of his attitudes and 
 back-grounds is unequalled by any painter, ancient or modern, and 
 that variety is generally accompanied with grace in the turn of his 
 figures, and dignity in the airs of his heads.

 William, Earl of Cadogan, was descended from an ancient 
 family in Wales ; he entered the army and distinguished him- 
 self at the Battle of the Boyne, and served in Marlborough's 
 campaigns in Flanders with high credit. As a reward for his 
 long and valuable services, he was elevated to the peerage by 
 George I. His Lordship died 1726, leaving two daughters, 
 the eldest of whom Lady Sarah married the second Duke of 
 Richmond.

 A fine and striking likeness; the attitude is easy and unconstrained ; his

 trious father. In the 24th year of his age, he accepted from 
 George III. the offices of First Lord of the Treasury and Chan- 
 cellor of the Exchequer, which he retained for eighteen years. 
 After the dissolution of Mr. Addington's brief administration, 
 he again took his seat on the Treasury bench, which he occu- 
 pied till his death. To do only common justice to the charac- 
 ter of his high-minded and extraordinary man would necessarily 
 occupy more space than would accord with the plan of this 
 little work ; and the fact that every circumstance connected 
 with his public life and policy is too deeply impressed on the 
 minds of his countrymen to need repetition or eulogy here, 
 seems to justify this brevity. 
 
 Gainsborough (Thomas), who with Wilson and George Smith, was 
 the founder of our School of Landscape Painting, was born in Suffolk, 
 1727. In his very childhood he displayed the germ of that talent 
 which perseverance finally matured. Although a fine painter of por- 
 traits, as the present instance will abundantly prove, and with a repu- 
 tation in that branch of his art which rivalled Sir J. Reynolds, yet 
 Gainsborough's chief excellence lay in simple landscape- But few 
 objects were required to complete his pictures : a cottager's child, a 
 rising ground, a few sheep, or a simple group of trees, were sufficient; 
 his charm was purity of tone in the colours, and freedom and clearness 
 of touch. With ajudicious combination of fancy, and with these com- 
 mon materials he never failed to produce a fascinating picture. Gains- 
 borough was essentially an English painter, more so indeed than 
 either Wilson or George Smith, who introduced Italian distances in 
 nearly all their performances, and which style has secured to the for- 
 mer the designation of the English Claude. He died in 1788, in the 
 possession of high and just fame, and considerable wealth.

 purpose of a stove, stand antique heads in marble, a 
 Bacchus, a Naiad, and one from the group of Laocoon, 
 and in a niche a large marble bust of Adonis, after he

 the possibility of placing them in more eligible situa- 
 tions : this remark particularly applies to the magnifi- 
 cent production of Vandyke, Charles I. and his family, 
 unquestionably the chef-d'oeuvre of the Artist ; it is 
 scarcely possible to appreciate its merits in the dark and 
 high position which it now occupies. In the lower part 
 of this area is Lawrence's noble picture of the present 
 Duchess of Richmond. 
 
 The first picture to which we shall recall the atten- 
 tion of the Visitor is, 
 
 94. A Portrait of Charles II. Sir P. Lely. 
 
 (7 ft. 6 in. by 4 ft. 8 in.) 
 The King is represented seated in a chair of state, in a dark blue robe, 
 lined, with white ; around his neck he wears the Collar and George and the 
 Garter on the knee, the dark hair falling over the shoulders ; the crown 
 lies on a table to the right. 
 
 95. Portrait of Caroline, present Duchess of Richmond, 
 
 Sir Thomas Lawrence. 
 
 (8 ft. by 5ft.) 
 
 This splendid picture, painted in 1828-9, and exhibited at the 
 Royal Academy in the latter year, is thus spoken of by Lawrence 
 himself, in a letter to his sister: — "My labours have fortunately 
 succeeded, and perhaps my two whole lengths of the Duchess of 
 Richmond and the Marchioness of Salisbury, are the best that I 
 have painted ; and the former the most popular and beautiful. I 
 may rationally be proud of succeeding this year, since it is indis- 
 putably the best exhibition u;e have had, and it is universally 
 considered so." 
 
 In the delineation of female beauty, Lawrence peculiarly excelled; 
 and in this admirable production he has transferred to his canvass, 
 
 
GOODWOOD. 71 
 
 with the richest harmony of coloring, not only the grace and elegance 
 of his subject, but the animated expression of a refined intellect, and 
 the calm dignity of domestic purity and moral excellence. The 
 features are seen in a three-quarter view, and the clearness of the 
 complexion is heightened by the dark hair, which is parted over the 
 forehead, and disposed in careless and natural curls, and fastened 
 at the bach of the head by a bandeau of brilliants. The expression 
 of the eye is full of vivacity and intelligence, ivhile on the mouth, the 
 ever guiding feature of the face, is a smile of surpassing sweetness ; 
 a double necklace of pearls adorns the neck. The drapery is com- 
 posed of white satin, most exquisitely finished, a portion of his work 
 which, in his best pictures, Lawrence committed to no inferior 
 hands ; the sameness of such a body of color is relieved, with the 
 most happy effect, by the introduction of a deep blue ribbon, looped 
 around the upper part of the dress, and fastened at the shoulder by 
 a clasp of gems. In the left hand is placed a bouquet of flowers r 
 and the right appears to be in the act of adjusting a bracelet on the 
 left wrist. The attitude of the figure is singularly graceful and un- 
 restrained. The folds of a rich red drapery immediately behind 
 the upper portion of the portrait, contribute materially to heighten 
 the delicacy and effect ; the back ground represents a glowing and 
 highly colored landscape.

 Sir Thomas Lawrence, the most eminent of English painters, was 
 born in the City of Bristol, 4th May, 1769. From his earliest child- 
 hood he gave promise of extraordinary talent. At the age often years, 
 he had acquired considerable celebrity, by the skill and faithfulness 
 with which he executed portraits in crayons. " He took likenesses," 
 says his biographer, " of the most eminent persons then at Oxford," 
 the city where he made his essay ; " but his pencil was not confined 
 to grave sexagenarians ; for many of the younger nobility and gentry 
 were anxious to have their portraits taken by the phenomenon ; and 
 the female beauty of this dignified city and its wealthy neighbourhood, 
 equally pressed upon his talents." From Oxford, the youthful artist 
 was taken by his father to Bath, where his success was also great. It 
 was in this city that his true fame commenced, where at the age of 
 seventeen he first dipped his brush in oil colours, and began to free 
 himself from the captivating facilities of crayons. At the age of nine- 
 teen, he came to London, and waited on Sir Joshua Reynolds, with a 
 portrait of himself. The President was struck both with the picture 
 and the artist, and " they parted mutually pleased with each other." 
 
 Lawrence's fame was now rapidly extending, and at the age of 
 twenty-two he was appointed painter in ordinary to the king, although 
 Opie, Romney, and Hoppner, were then in high reputation. At this 
 time he painted two whole lengths of George III. and his Queen, to 
 be presented by Lord Macartney to the Emperor of China. 
 
 In 1795, he was admitted a member of the Royal Academy, and 
 honors flowed fast on him. Kings and princes were his patrons, and 
 peers and peeresses his companions. Some of the portraits which he 
 executed from this period to his thirtieth year, are among the finest 
 efforts of genius ; that of John Kemble as Hamlet is a master-piece 
 of painting. To the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle, where the princes 
 and rulers of the earth were assembled, after the Battle of Waterloo, 
 to partition Europe among them, Lawrence was commissioned to 
 proceed, by the Prince Regent, from whom he then received the ho- 
 nor of knighthood, to execute portraits of the principal personages, 
 for the gallery at Windsor. From Aix-la-Chapelle he went to Vienna, 
 and from thence to Rome, and after an absence of eighteen months, 
 returned to England in 1820, and was immediately elected President

 of the Royal Academy, the venerable West having died during his 
 absence. During the period which followed his elevation to the Pre- 
 sident's chair to his death, the noble character of Lawrence shone 
 most conspicuously ; his station now enabled him much more than 
 before, to befriend youthful talent ; and his advice, his patronage, 
 and his purse, were ever ready at its call. Although in possession of a 
 large income, the latter years of his life were embittered by pecuniary 
 embarrassments ; he was generous to a fault, and expended such 
 sums of money on works of art,that at his death his collection of original 
 drawings by the old masters was the finest and most extensive in 
 Europe. He painted an immense number of portraits of the titled, 
 the beautiful, and the great ; and among them all, it would be difficult 
 to find one common-place picture. He died in London, Jan. 1830. 
 
 96. Portrait of Charles II. when a youth, Vandyke. 
 
 (4 ft. 6 in. by Bft. 3 in.) 
 
 Seen in a three-quarter view, habited in a buff jacket, with open sleeves 
 
 of red silk ; a rich lace frill covering the shoulders, and hose of bright red 
 
 silk quilted ; a blue ribbon crosses the body. He holds a stick in his right 
 
 hand and his hat on the other ; has gloves on, and a scarf round the left arm. 
 
 97. Portrait of Cardinal Fleury. 
 
 (5 ft. by* ft.) 
 In a sitting position, the left hand reclines on the arm of the seat, and 
 the right hand crossing the body also slightly holds it; he uears a scarlet 
 Cardinal's robe. The countenance is mild and highly intellectual. 
 
 Cardinal Fleury, a learned French priest, and celebrated ec- 
 clesiastical historian, flourished in the seventeenth century. 
 He died in 1723, in the eighty third year of his age, leaving 
 behind him a character estimable for extensive learning, firm 
 and nice integrity, true modesty and candour, great purity and 
 simplicity of manners, and unaffected piety. 
 
 98. St. Catharine, Guido.

 A most beautiful picture ; the Saint is leaning on the wheel employed for 
 her martyrdom, and her whole attention is fixed on the book which she holds 
 in her hand. Guido's favorite blue drapery is pleasingly introduced,

 101. Portrait of James, Duke of Monmouth, 
 
 Sir Godfrey Kneller. 
 
 (4 ft. by 3 ft. 2 in.) 
 A very fine specimen of Kneller' s talents, and very superior to his usual 
 loose style of painting. He appears to have bestowed more than ordinary 
 pains on this portrait ; it represents the Duke when a young man, in a light 
 hunting dress ; his right hand holds a whip, and he wears large white 
 gloves; the head is uncovered and the full flouing hair falls over his 
 shoulders ; the features, which are singularly handsome, are seen in a front 
 view ; a three-quarter length.

 The Prince, apparently about nine years of age, stands on the left, dressed 
 in a red silk jacket and hose, and a broad lace frill; he leans his left arm on 
 the base of a column, arid holds his brother's right hand; the latter is dressed 
 in petticoats, and wears a lace cap. His attention is turned to his sister, 
 who stands on his right in nearly a front position, ivith her hands crossed 
 on her waist. Two favorite spaniels are seated at their feet. 
 
 103. Portrait of Frances Theresa, Duchess of Richmond, 
 
 Sir P. Lely. 
 
 (8 ft. by 4 ft. Gin.) 
 One of Lely' s finest pictures ; arrayed as Minerva, with a helmet, sur- 
 mounted by a large plume of feathers ; the left arm leans on a pedestal, and 
 the hand holds a spear ; she wears a loose flowing dress, looped at the elbow 
 by a circlet of brilliants, and a robe fastened on the right shoulder by an 
 ornament, and falling in rich folds over the left arm and leg ; a light cuirass 
 covers the bosom. The features are seen in a three-quarter view, and the 
 hair falls in curls beneath the helmet. 
 
 Frances Theresa Stuart, Duchess of Richmond, the eldest 
 daughter of Lord Blantyre, a peer of Scotland, was one of the 
 most celebrated beauties of the Court of Charles II. Of the 
 mode of her introduction at Court, we have no account ; but 
 she became there at once a Maid of Honour to Catharine of 
 Braganza, and the intimate of Lady Castlemain, afterwards 
 Duchess of Cleveland, the favorite mistress of Charles, stations 
 which, the liberality of the times rendered compatible with each 
 other. Among all the temptations to which she was incessantly 
 exposed in this licentious Court, she preserved an unblemished 
 reputation. The King himself was deeply enamoured of her, 
 and offered to create her a Duchess, and settle on her in fee an 
 ample estate for the support of that dignity, but she repelled 
 his attacks on her honor with unvarying firmness ; and at length 
 to avoid the unceasing vexation which his addresses entailed 
 on her, the high-spirited young lady left Whitehall privately, 
 
76 GOODWOOD. 
 
 and without the usual ceremony of asking permission either of 
 the King or Queen, married the Duke of Richmond, 1667. To 
 the partiality which Charles entertained for this accomplished 
 lady, we owe the representation of " Britannia" on the coin of 
 the realm : a gold medal was first struck, representing on the 
 front the bust of the King, and on the reverse, a portrait of 
 Miss Stuart, in the character of Minerva ; it was shortly after- 
 wards transferred to the copper coin of the realm, on which it 
 appears to this day, unaltered in its general appearance as the 
 emblematic figure, and bearing the inscription of " Britannia." 
 She died in 1702. 
 
 In the Gallery above are four whole length portraits 
 by Sir P. Lely, of the "Beauties" who adorned the Court 
 of Charles II. It has been thought scarcely necessary 
 to add a separate notice to each individual picture, so 
 similar are they in all their accessories; the dress is 
 low, loose, and flowing ; he caught the reigning charac- 
 ter, and

 The King is seated on a throne, attended by the Yeomen of the Guard ; in 
 the back ground the Queen and her attendants are seen approaching. The 
 style of this picture is stiff, and the coloring by no means harmonious.

 Maria, and their two sons, Prince Charles and James 
 Duke of York, Vandyke. 
 
 (About 10 ft. by 8 ft.) 
 The King, attired in his royal robes, is seen in a front view, 
 seated in an arm chair ; his right hand placed on a covered table, 
 on which are the regalia of England ; his left rests on the arm of 
 the chair. The Queen is also seated richly attired in a dark yellow 
 dress. The young Prince stands by the King with both hands 
 placed on his knee, and the Queen is holding the infant James in 
 her arms ; between the columns of the vestibule, in which they are 
 represented, the tower of London is seen at a distance. This mag- 
 nificent picture was in the possession of Charles I., and valued at 
 £150 ; on the sale of his effects it was taken to France, and placed 
 in the Orleans collection ; after the execution of the Duke of Or- 
 leans (Egalite), it was pur chased by Mr. Hammersley, the Banker, 
 by whom, in 1804, it was sold to the third Duke of Richmond for 
 £1100. Vandyke painted three copies: the one in question, one in 
 the possession of the Crown, and a third belonging to the Duke of 
 Devonshire ; a sketch in chalk, the first idea of this group, was in 
 the collection of Sir Thomas Lawrence.

GOODWOOD. 79 
 
 A very showily painted picture ; the Duchess is represented as " Diana," 
 holding a bow in her right hand, and a quiver of arrows lies at her feet ; a 
 deep blue scarf ha?igs over the right shoulder ; cupids, in the upper part of 
 the picture, are supporting drapery ; a landscape forms the back ground. 
 
 Henrietta Maria was daughter of Charles I., and wife of 
 Philip, Duke of Orleans. This picture was painted when the 
 Princess was on a visit to her brother, Charles II., at Dover, in 
 1670. She died suddenly, not without suspicion of poison, on 
 her return to France, the 30th of June, in the same year. 
 
 116. Portrait of the first Duke of Richmond, 
 
 Sir G. Kneller. 
 (4: ft. by 3/*. 2 in.) 
 A three-quarter figure, in a full red dress of the fashion of the period ; 
 the arm and hand are extended, and the countenance elevated as if in the 
 act of speaking. 
 
 Leaving this area, we enter a handsome suite of Rooms, 
 which formed (excepting the towers at either end,) the 
 original mansion, and are now used as the private apart- 
 ments of the noble owner and his family. They com- 
 prise two Libraries, a Bourdoir, and two Studies, opening 
 en suite, and are remarkable not more for their taste and 
 elegance, than for the air of real comfort which pervades 
 them. 
 
 The Bourdoir 
 Is a circular apartment ; the walls are hung with a light 
 blue paper, edged with a small gilt moulding. Two 
 compartments corresponding with the windows, are fit-

 set in ebony and gold, formerly belonging to the Duchess 
 of Portsmouth. Over the fire-place is

 The Small Library 
 Is filled with a valuable and well selected collection of 
 Books, especially rich in volumes of prints, illustrated 
 works, and foreign literature. They are arranged on 
 open wainscot shelves ; access to the upper part is af- 
 forded by means of a small wainscot staircase, leading 
 up to a light iron gallery, around the entire room, sup- 
 ported by cantalivers of the same metal bronzed, with a 
 top-rail of mahogany; an elegant and ingenious con- 
 trivance, designed by and erected under the direction of 
 the third Duke.

 George Romney, an eminent English painter, was born in Lan- 
 cashire, 1734. Very many of this artist's best productions are to be 
 found in Sussex, and particularly in the neighbourhood of Chichester, 
 he being a frequent visitor at Earthem, then the residence of Hayley, 
 who, after Romney's death, published a memoir of his distinguished 
 friend. A painting room was set apart at this beautiful retreat for 
 the artist's use, and the box of oil colours and palattes used there by 
 him are now in the possession of the compiler of these pages. Rom- 
 ney's style of coloring was simple and broad ; in that of his flesh he 
 was very successful, exhibiting a great variety of complexion with 
 much warmth and richness. With Sir J. Reynolds and Gainsborough, 
 he shared a liberal portion of public favor. He painted an immense 
 number of portraits, but has also left behind him some splendid histo- 
 rical pictures ; of these one of the best, the infant Shakespeare at- 
 tended by Comedy and Tragedy, is in the collection at Petworth. It 
 has been finely engraved by Caroline Watson ; and Hayley, under the 
 first proof impression from the plate, in which was a medallion head 
 of Romney afterwards erased, wrote the following beautiful and ap- 
 propriate lines : — 
 
 " When Romney, in his happiest hour, designed 
 The Muses fostering young Shakespear's mind, 
 Nature survey' d them all with fond regard, 
 And owrtd the Painter worthy of the Bard." 
 
 This print is also in the same possession as Romney's box and pa- 
 lettes. He died 1802. 
 
 121. Portrait of the Marquis of Anglesey (in crayons), 
 
 Sir W. Beechey, 
 
 (2 ft. 10 in. by 2 ft. tin.) 
 Henry-William Paget, Marquis of Anglesey, eldest son of 
 Henry, third Earl of Uxbridge, was born 17th May, 1/68, and 
 succeeded to the title on the death of his father in 1812. He 
 early entered the army, and was engaged in active service 
 during the first campaigns of the Duke of York, in Flanders. 
 Throughout the Peninsular War, his Lordship commanded the

 cavalry 5 and in covering the disastrous retreat of Sir John 
 Moore, executed his arduous duty with the utmost skill and 
 courage. In the famous campaign of 1815, he once more took 
 the field at the head of the cavalry 5 and during the memorable 
 day of the 18th of June, by the daring manner in which he led 
 on the charges of horse, contributed materially to the successful 
 termination of the conflict. " During the whole of the engage- 
 ment," says the historian Gifford, " his exertions were great 
 and unremitting, while his example was most animating. Scarce 
 a squadron charged, but he was at their head ; and wherever 
 the cavalry could be of service, there he led them. Though ex- 
 posed to the hottest of the fire, he had escaped unhurt ; but 
 almost the last shot which the enemy fired shattered his right 
 knee and deprived him of a leg." On his return to England, 
 his Lordship was created Marquis of Anglesey, and received 
 the orders of the Bath and Garter. He held the office of Mas- 
 ter General of the Ordnance during Canning's Administration, 
 and has been twice Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. 
 
 122. Portrait of Charles, fourth Duke of Richmond,

 (2 ft. 4 in. by 2ft.) 
 Charles, fourth Duke of Richmond, son of Lord George 
 Henry Lennox, was born 1764, and succeeded, by the death of 
 his uncle the third Duke, to the title and estates in 1806. He 
 chose the military profession, and obtained a commission in 
 the Coldstream Guards, soon after commanded by the Duke of 
 York ; a company with the rank of Lieutenant- Colonel was in 
 due time attained. In 1795, he became Colonel 5 in 1803 he 
 was nominated to the command of the 35th Regiment ; and in 
 1814, after passing through the intermediate gradations of 
 Major-General, and Lieut. -General, he obtained that of full 
 General, with the Colonelcy of the 35 th Regiment of Foot. 
 
 
GOODWOOD. 85 
 
 While in the Guards, a misunderstanding unhappily took 
 place between the Duke of York and his Grace, (then Colonel 
 Lennox,) which terminated in a duel. Colonel Mackinnon, in 
 his history of the Coldstream Guards, thus alludes to the affair : 
 
 " The dispute originated in an observation made by his Royal 
 Highness, that Colonel Lennox had been addressed by an indi- 
 vidual at the club at Daubigney's in a manner that no gentleman 
 ought to permit. The observation being reported to Colonel 
 Lennox, he took the opportunity on parade to inquire of his 
 Royal Highness what were the words which he had submitted 
 to hear, and by whom they were spoken : to this his Royal 
 Highness gave no other answer than by ordering the Colonel 
 to his post. The parade being over, his Royal Highness went 
 into the orderly-room and sent for Colonel Lennox, when he 
 intimated to him, in the presence of the officers of the Cold- 
 stream, that he desired to derive no protection either from his 
 rank as a Prince, or his situation as Commanding-officer ; and 
 that when off duty he wore a brown coat, and was ready as a 
 private individual to give Colonel Lennox the satisfaction re- 
 quired by one gentleman from another. After this declaration, 
 Colonel Lennox wrote a circular to every member of Daubigney's 
 Club, requesting them to inform him whether the words, as 
 stated, had been addressed to him, and desiring an answer from 
 each member by the following morning ; adding, that he should 
 consider their silence on the subject as an acknowledgment that 
 no such words could be recollected. After the time named for 
 an answer to his circular letter, Colonel Lennox sent a written 
 message to the following purport : — ' That not being able to 
 recollect any occasion on which words were used towards him 
 at Daubigney's, that ought not to be addressed to a gentleman 
 he had taken the step which appeared most likely to gain infor- 
 mation on the subject to which his Royal Highness had made 
 allusion, and of the party by whom they had been used : — that 
 
86 GOODWOOD. 
 
 none of the members of the club had afforded him any information, 
 and consequently, that no such insult had been offered him to 
 their knowledge ; and therefore he expected, in justice to his 
 character, that his Royal Highness would contradict the report 
 as publicly as it had been asserted by his Royal Highness.' 
 This letter was delivered to the Duke of York the same day by 
 the Earl of Winchelsea. His Royal Highness's answer not 
 proving satisfactory, a message was sent by Colonel Lennox to 
 appoint a meeting ; the time and place were then settled. 
 
 " The following is the account given by the seconds of the 
 affair. In consequence of this misunderstanding, his Royal 
 Highness the Duke of York, attended by Lord Rawdon, and 
 Lieutenant-Colonel Lennox, accompanied by the Earl of Win- 
 chelsea, met at Wimbledon Common. The ground was mea- 
 sursed twelve paces, and both parties were to fire together. 
 Lieutenant- Colonel Lennox's ball grazed his Royal Highness's 
 curl, but the Duke of York did not fire. Lord Rawdon then 
 interfered, and said ' he thought enough had been done j' when 
 Colonel Lennox observed, ' that his Royal Highness had not 
 fired :' Lord Rawdon replied, 'it was not the intention of the 
 Duke to fire ; his Royal Highness entertained no animosity 
 against Lieut.- Colonel Lennox, and had only come out on his 
 invitation to give him satisfaction.' Colonel Lennox wished the 
 Duke to fire, which was declined, with a repetition of the rea- 
 son. Lord Winchelsea then expressed a hope that his Royal 
 Highness would not object to say he considered Colonel Lennox 
 a man of courage and honour. His Royal Highness replied, 
 that he should say no such thing : he had come out with 
 the intention of giving Colonel Lennox the satisfaction he 
 demanded, but did not mean to fire at him 3 if Colonel Lennox 
 was not satisfied, he might have another shot. Colonel Lennox 
 declared that he could not possibly fire again, as his Royal High- 
 ness did not mean to return it. The seconds signed a paper 
 
GOODWOOD. 87 
 
 stating that ' both parties behaved with the most perfect cool- 
 ness and intrepidity.' 
 
 " Lieutenant-Colonel Lennox called a meeting of the officers 
 of the Coldstream, to deliberate and give their opinion whether 
 in the late dispute he behaved as became an officer and a gen- 
 tleman. After much discussion, they came to the following 
 resolution : ' It is the opinion of the Coldstream regiment, that 
 subsequently to the fifteenth of May, the day of the meeting at 
 the orderly-room, Lieutenant- Colonel Lennox has behaved with 
 courage ; but, from the peculiar difficulty of his situation, not 
 with judgment.' 
 
 " The unusual, if not unprecedented, occurrence of a Prince 
 of the Blood, and one so near the throne, voluntarily placing his 
 life in such imminent peril, created at the time a strong 
 sensation." 
 
 As a pleasing close to our relation of this affair, we may state 
 that in the autumn of 1 825, the Duke of York visited the present 
 Duke of Richmond at Goodwood, and partook, in company with 
 a distinguished party of the nobility, of the splendid hospitality 
 which especially characterizes this Mansion during the period 
 of the Races. 
 
 In 1780, Colonel Lennox was returned for the County of 
 Sussex, which he represented for seven successive Parliaments. 
 His politics, like those of his uncle, were favorable to Mr. Pitt's 
 Administration, and that Minister accordingly received his 
 invariable support. In 1808, he was appointed Lord Lieutenant 
 of Ireland, which honorable and responsible situation he held 
 for upwards of six years. After his re-call, he retired to Brus- 
 sels, with his family ; and while there, frequently entertained 
 the Duke of Wellington and his suite. It was at a Ball given 
 by the Duchess of Richmond in June, 18 15, that the intelli- 
 gence of Napoleon's near approach was communicated to the 
 Duke of Wellington. " Both the Duke of Richmond and his 
 
S8 GOODWOOD. 
 
 son Lord March/' says his Biographer in the Annual Obituary, 
 " were present at the Battle of Waterloo ; and the subject of 
 this memoir accompanied his old friend through all the dangers 
 of that day, even into the very squares of infantry, while under 
 the fire of the enemy." 
 
 Soon after this event, the Duke of Richmond was gratified 
 with the appointment of Governor-general of the British settle- 
 ments of North America. On this occasion, part of his family 
 accompanied him ; and his son-in-law, Sir Charles Maitland, 
 was, at the same time, nominated Lieutenant-governor of Upper 
 Canada. 
 
 His Grace, however, enjoyed his honors but for a brief 
 period ; he died in Canada, August 28, 1 819. 
 
 The Duke of Richmond married in 1783, Lady Charlotte, 
 eldest daughter of Alexander, Duke of Gordon, who now sur- 
 vives him, and by whom he left issue: — 1. Mary, born August 
 15, 1790 — 2. Charles, present and fifth Duke — 3. Lady Sarah, 
 born August 22, 1792 — 4. Lord George John, born October 
 3, 1793—5. Lady Georgiana, born May 30, 1795—6. Lord 
 Henry- Adam, born September 6, 1797, fell overboard the

 The Duke of Richmond was born on the 3rd of August, 
 1/91, and succeeded to the title and estates by the death of 
 his father, the fourth Duke, August, 1819. His Grace entered 
 the military profession, and on the 8th of June, 1809, was ap- 
 pointed ensign in the 8th garrison battalion; on the 2 1st of June, 
 1810, lieutenant in the 13th light dragoons; on the 9th of 
 July, 1812, captain of the 92nd Gordon highlanders ; on the 8th 
 of April, 1813, captain of the 52nd light infantry ; on the 15th 
 of June, 1815, brevet-major; and lieutenant-colonel on the 25th 
 July, 1816. In 1809, his Grace was appointed aid-de-camp to 
 the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and on the 24th July, 1810, 
 joined the army in the Peniusula as aid-de-camp to the Duke of 
 Wellington, with whom his Grace remained till 1ft 14, and was 
 present at all the general actions and affairs which took place 
 during that period. He was sent home with the duplicate 
 despatches of the battle of Salamanca, the capture of Astorga, 
 and the entrance into France. In January, 1814, he left the 
 Duke of Wellington's staff to join the first battalion of the 52nd 
 light infantry, and was severely wounded at the battle of Orthes, 
 February 27, in the command of a company, by a musket ball, 
 which has never been extracted. At the end of 1814 he was 
 appointed aid-de-camp to the Prince of Orange, and was with 
 him in the Battles of Quatre Bras and Waterloo ; after the 
 Prince of Orange was wounded, the Duke of Richmond joined 
 the Duke of Wellington as extra aid-de-camp, and remained with 
 him till the peace; he then joined the 2nd battalion of the 52nd 
 light infantry, and at its reduction in 1816 was placed on half- 
 pay, and has since retired from the army. His Grace is 
 Colonel of the Royal Sussex Light Infantry Militia, and Vice- 
 Admiral of the County of Sussex. 
 
 In 1812, his Grace was returned to Parliament for the City 
 of Chichester, which he represented till 1819, when he took his 
 seat in the House of Lords. In 1830, on the dissolution of the 
 
 M 
 
90 GOODWOOD. 
 
 Duke of Wellington's ministry, his Grace accepted the office of 
 Post-master General, with a seat in the Cabinet, in Earl Grey's 
 administration, and which he retained till June, 1834. During 
 the period which his Grace filled this situation, his unremitting 
 attention and activity were conspicuous in his endeavours to 
 promote an efficient reform in this department of the public 
 service, and especially an increase in the facilities of commu- 
 nication with France. On the 4th of June, 1834, his Grace 
 and three of his colleagues tendered their resignations, a divi- 
 sion of opinion having taken place in the cabinet on one of the 
 clauses of the Irish Church Bill, viz. that which involved the 
 principle of confiscating the property of the Church, or part of 
 its property, to other than Protestant ecclesiastical purposes 5 
 to this, the Duke of Richmond, the Earl of Ripon, Sir James 
 Graham, and Mr. Stanley, were opposed, and consequently 
 seceded from the Cabinet. 
 
 In May, 1829, the Duke of Richmond was chosen a Knight 
 of the Garter. Upon his resignation of the office of Postmaster 
 General in 1834, his Majesty appointed him to be one of his 
 aids-de-camp for the militia, and in 1835 he was honored by the 
 appointment of Lord- Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of the 
 county of Sussex, on the resignation of the Earl of Egremont. 
 On the 10th of April, 1817, his Grace married Lady Caroline 
 Paget, eldest daughter of the Marquis of Anglesey. 
 
 The Large Library 
 Is a fine well-proportioned room, 35 feet long and 25 
 feet wide, having a bold handsome cornice, elegantly 
 painted and gilded, and the ceiling formed into compart- 
 ments, which are filled with paintings by Riley, the 
 subjects being taken from those discovered in the baths

 of Titus at Rome. A superb bronze and gilt lamp is 
 suspended from the centre of the ceiling. The walls 
 are painted salmon colour, and are ornamented with gold 
 medallions and foliage in bass-relief; the drapery to the 
 windows and furniture is composed of the richest silk 
 tabiret of the same colour, with an elegant light blue 
 silk fringe to correspond. Against the piers between 
 the windows stand two looking glasses, 9 feet high by 5 
 feet wide, and before them are tables of polished granite; 
 beneath which, are a pair of Thebaick vases. These 
 once formed part of the plunder of the French army in 
 Egypt, and were taken out of a French frigate. On the 
 opposite side is the fire-place with its elegant chimney 
 piece of statuary marble, costly pieces of Sevre and other 
 porcelain, with various articles of bijouterie are placed 
 on this and on the granite tables. 
 
 The Library consists of about 9,000 volumes, and the 
 books are arranged in lofty cases occupying the sides of 
 the room. These cases are enclosed in front by doors 
 filled in rich light brass wire work, and the panels of the 
 closet doors in the dado beneath them are painted in 
 chiaro scuro, the subjects being taken from the drawings 
 of Sir William Hamilton's Greek, Etruscan, and Roman 
 Vases, found in the ruins of Herculaneum. These paint- 
 ings, as well as the death of Cleopatra in the panel over 
 the chimney piece, and those of Bacchus and Ariadne,

 This nobleman is the second son of the late Duke of Rich- 
 mond, born October 3, 1793, married June 29, 1818, Louisa- 
 Frederica, fourth daughter of the Hon. John Rodney. His 
 Lordship represented Chichester for many years, and in 1831, 
 on the death of Walter Burrell, Esq., was returned for Sussex, 
 and has since continued to represent the Western Division. 
 His Lordship has seen much service in the army, having served 
 in the Peninsula campaigns and at Waterloo.

 Containing an excellent table and appendages for that

 pedestal, is a fine bust in plaster of the Earl of Strad- 
 broke. The walls are hung with numerous fine pictures ; 
 one of which, known as the "Darnley picture," over the 
 fire-place, is a rare and curious specimen of art. It was 
 discovered some years ago in the Castle of Aubigny, in 
 France, and though at the time in a dilapidated state, 
 yet by comparison with a similar copy in the possession 
 of the Earl of Pomfret, both pictures were enabled to be 
 perfected. Vertue has drawn up some long observations 
 on it, in which he has described every figure and inscrip- 
 tion, the latter being very numerous, with singular 
 accuracy and minuteness. It has not been deemed 
 requisite to append his criticism, contained in a closely 
 printed pamphlet, entire, but to extract and compress 
 such portions as appear to possess the greatest degree of 
 interest and information.

 (Aft. Gin. by 3/£. 4 in.) 
 A three-quarter portrait in an Admiral's full dress ; the features are 
 seen in a front view, and he holds a baton in his right hand ; a view of the 
 ocean forms the distance. 
 
 Commodore George Anson, in September, ] 740, sailed from 
 England with a small squadron of ships, consisting of the Cen- 
 turion of 60 guns ; the Gloucester, the Severn, the Pearl, the 
 Wager, and the Trial sloop ; with two Victuallers, and about 
 470 land forces, under the command of Colonel Cracherode. 
 The Severn and the Pearl were separated from him on the 
 Coast of Brazil, whence they returned to England. All his 
 other ships, except the Centurion, were either lost or destroyed, 
 for want of hands to navigate them. He burned the town of 
 Paita in Peru, where he found a good deal of plunder. He like- 
 wise took the rich Manila galloon, valued at £400,000 sterling. 
 And after undergoing an incredible number of difficulties, he 
 arrived at Spithead on the 15th of June, 1744. His treasure 
 was conveyed in a triumphant manner to London, where it was 
 received amidst the shouts and acclamations of the people. He 
 himself was soon after created a Peer of the Realm. He died 
 in 1762, aged 62. 
 
 In the stable-yard of the inn at Waterbeach, adjoining the 
 Park, the figure-head of the Centurion, a lion carved in wood, 
 was preserved for many years. On the accession of his late 
 Majesty, it was removed to Windsor -, the stone pedestal on 
 which it rested, bore the following lines : — 
 " Stay Traveller awhile and view, 
 
 One who has travelled more than you ; 
 
 Quite round the Globe thro' each degree 
 
 Anson and I have ploughed the sea, 
 
 Torrid and Frigid Zones have past, 
 
 And safe ashore arrived at last : 
 
 In ease ivith dignity appear, 
 
 He in the House of Lords, I here."

 131. Landscape, George Smith. 
 
 (6 ft. 4 in. by Aft. 6 in.) 
 For this beautiful picture, " The Society for the Encouragement of 
 Arts, fyc." awarded the artist the prize for the best landscape. The com- 
 position is singularly full and the coloring warm and harmonious ; a fine 
 group of trees, beneath which various figures are introduced, forms the 
 most prominent object in the fore ground ; the intermediate scenery is well 
 managed, and softens into a rich claude-like distance ; the sky is clear and 
 transparent, and the clouds are light and airy. 
 
 George Smith was the second of three brothers, natives of Chi- 
 chester, sons of a dissenting minister, and all remarkable, though in 
 different degrees, for genius in painting. The subject of this notice 
 was born in 1713 ; his superior talents were developed before he had 
 attained to the age of fourteen years, when his elder brother took him 
 to London, to initiate him in the principles of the art. It does not 
 appear, that the education he had previously received, was in any 
 respect more extensive than that usually given to children in his hum- 
 ble rank of life. During many years after he had engaged in the pro- 
 fession of a painter, he was often under the necessity of applying to 
 portrait painting for a maintenance ; but his genius for landscape was 
 aided by unremitted industry, and an accurate observation of nature 
 in her minutest forms. His leisure was solely dedicated to rural ex- 
 cursions, in which he transferred innumerable scenes to his portfolio, 
 which he afterwards composed into pictures. He was in the habit, 
 for the sake of facilitating this plan, of using a camera obscura; to 
 which circumstance may be attributed a certain stiffness of manner, 
 which pervades his best works. The leisure (continues his biogra- 
 pher) which this want of public encouragement occasioned, he devoted 
 to the instruction of his younger brother, John Smith, who afterwards 
 attained, in landscape painting, an eminence little inferior to his own t 
 At length, returning to Chichester, to visit his friends, he was noticed 
 by the patron of his elder brother, the Duke of Richmond, and was 
 employed by him to paint landscapes. In this he succeeded so hap- 
 pily, that that noble person earnestly recommended it to him to con- 
 fine his attention entirely to his favorite study. This judicious and 
 friendly counsel had its due weight on our young artist's mind. Con- 
 fined by the res angusta domi, he had neither access to the works of 
 great masters, which he might study as models, nor opportunity of 
 
 N

 travelling into distant countries to enlarge and diversify his ideas of 
 general nature ; but he did what he could to compensate for these 
 disadvantages and privations. He collected, and with great diligence 
 studied, many books on the subject of his art ; but chiefly, and above 
 all, he studied with unremitting attention the. book of nature. A great 
 portion of their time was spent by himself and his brother Johnr 
 abroad, in the fields, in the woods, or on the hills, where, by means 
 of a camera obscura, they contracted the surrounding scenery into a 
 landscape ; the strength, sweetness, and finishing of which, no pencil 
 could equal. It was their object to approach as nearly as possible to 
 the perfect representation of nature ; and to this method of study, 
 perhaps may justly be ascribed, not only the eminent and charac- 
 teristic perfections, but also the slight defects of their style of painting. 
 
 Upon the establishment of the " Society for the Encouragement of 
 Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce," in 1760, the prizes for the best 
 landscapes exhibited, were adjudged, the first to George, and the 
 second to John Smith. In 1761, they were equally successful. In 
 1762, John alone was a candidate, as was George in 1763 ; and to 
 each the first premium was given. In the last-mentioned exhibition, 
 the competitor of George Smith was Wilson, who lived to be the most 
 eminent of the English school of landscape. But Wilson's excellence 
 was Smith's deficiency — a beautiful aerial tint, which was acquired by 
 studying the pictures of Claude Lorraine, in Italy, instead of prints 
 from them, in England. Wilson became familiar with effects, during 
 his tour on the Continent, to which Smith was necessarily a stranger ; 
 although it was scarcely possible for any man to have copied nature 
 as he saw her, with more truth. His landscapes may be characterised 
 as combinations of many subjects, beautiful in detail, but, to a certain 
 degree, confused in the whole, with respect to the management of 
 light. Some critics have considered the colouring as heavy. Be that 
 criticism just or otherwise, it will be allowed, that the oak and beech 
 trees near Chichester, have been as admirably pourtrayed by George 
 Smith, as the chesnut and hornbeam, near Naples, by Claude Lorraine, 
 
 His best pictures, unquestionably, are those which are preserved in 
 his own neighbourhood ; at Goodwood, painted for his noble patron ; 
 and at Chichester, for his friends Dr. Bailey and Dr. Sanden. These 
 were occasions which merited, and which drew forth his happiest 
 exertions. His prize pictures have been finely engraved by Woollet. 
 Many of his own and his brother's etchings are extant. The just 
 
GOODWOOD. 99 
 
 fame acquired by G. Smith has been eclipsed by that of Wilson, Bar- 
 rett, Gainsborough and Marlow, who having immediately succeeded 
 him, and occupied the public attention by the number, no less than the 
 excellence of their works, the present age have assigned a lower rank 
 to him, than that which he held, without an equal, in his life-time. 
 
 He died in the autumn of 1775. 
 
 The above notice has been extracted from " Dallaway's History of 
 Western Sussex," and has been ascribed to the pen of Dr. Sanden.

 This and the previous picture are at either end of the room, and form a 
 pair both in size and style of coloring ; it is however an inferior performance 
 to his brother's; the fore -ground is formed by dark masses of foliage, 
 wanting the relief ivhich the judicious introduction of stronger lights 
 would have afforded ; the accessoi'ies of the composition are few, and the 
 subject scanty ; there is an absence of intermediate scenery, but the dis- 
 tance, as in the pictures of his more distinguished brother, is light and 
 aerial. 
 
 John Smith, the youngest brother, and successful pupil of George 
 died a young man, in 1764. He had so nearly acquired the manner 
 and excellence of his master, that they not unfrequently worked toge- 
 ther on the same canvass ; and many prints were published of their 
 joint performance. 
 
 There is a fine mezzotint by W. Pether, who had painted a conver-

 141. The Cenotaph of Lord Darnley. 
 
 (7 ft. 4 in. by 4 ft. 6 in. 
 
 The title of the Picture is given by an Inscription in the right 
 hand corner — 
 
 Tragica et Lamentabilis intenecio 
 Serenissimi Henrici Scotorum Regis.* 
 
 The Piece in general represents a Chapel paved with Marble, 
 before the Altar of which is exposed on a sort of Monument 
 adorned with the trophies of the deceased, the effigies of K. Henry 
 Darnley, and near the same, are King James his Son, the Earl 
 and Countess of Lennox, his Father and Mother, and his younger 
 Brother, all on their hnees, as beseeching God to punish and 
 avenge his Murder. 
 
 The Altar is towards the right hand, and upon it stands the 
 Image of our Lord treading on a Death's head, pointing with his 
 left hand to the Wound in his Side, and holding the Cross in his 
 right, on which is a Paper with the usual Letters, I. N. JR. I. and 
 on either side of the Altar are green Silk Curtains, upon Hods and 
 Mings, as is common in Catholick Chapels. 
 
 In different parts of the picture are the various scenes descrip- 
 tive of this tragedy ; — in one is represented the inside of a chamber 
 wherein is a bed, with two persons standing by it armed, the one at 
 the head, as directing, and the other at the feet, as drawing the 
 King's Body forcibly from the Bed ; near the feet of which is 
 seen a pallet, wherein is an Old Man, dead or sleeping, the Cham- 
 ber Door standing open the while. 
 
 In another are represented, first a young Man lying dead, and 
 almost naked under a Tree ; and it maybe remarked that he appears 
 very tall, by the great length of his Legs and Thighs, as King 
 Henry Darnley is known to have been. Somewhat farther off lies 
 also the dead body of an old Man, in the same manner with hardly 
 any clothes on. 
 
 In one corner, as a small picture introduced, is represented a 
 design of the battle array and transactions at Carberry Hill, when 
 
 * The tragical and lameutable murder of the most Serene Henry King 
 of Scots. 
 
102 GOODWOOD. 
 
 Queen Mary parted from Earl Bothwell and surrendered herself 
 into the hands of the Nobility. 
 
 The Queen's army and BothwelVs is seen drawn up toward the 
 top of the Hill, where the Royal standard is displayed, icith 
 several Ensigns of St. Andrew's Cross. The Queen herself is here 
 to be distinguished with one of her women on horseback, as also 
 Earl Bothwell on a large white horse, with several others in Ar* 
 tnour about him. At the foot of the Hill, as in low ground, where 
 they may be sheltered from the fire of the Queen's Artillery, are 
 represented the forces of the Confederate Nobility marching in 
 Battle Array. Towards the lower right hand corner of this 
 Landscape is a prospect of the City of Edinburgh with the name 
 wrote over it. On the south side of the City was the Kirk-a-Field 
 where stood the house, and garden in which the King was murdered. 
 
 The house stood in the place where now is the house of the prin- 
 cipal of the University of Edinburgh, and close by was a house 
 sometime belonging to the family of Hamilton, where the publick 
 schools are now kept. 
 
 At a little distance from the Kirk-a-Field House, was a ridge 
 of Rocks called Salisbury Craigs, and a high mountain called 
 Arthur's Seat, both which are represented in this Landscape. 
 
 It is obvious the doing this picture has been a matter of care and 
 expence, having been a considerable time in hand ; for in the first 
 inscription King James is said to have been sixteen months old, 
 which he was in October 1567. So that the picture was then at 
 least composed ; and it appears by another inscription that it was 
 not finished till January following, about four months after. The 
 exact agreement of it also, with the best historical accounts, shews 
 great care was taken to represent the facts truly, and while they 
 were fresh in every one's memory, it being as has been seen in hand 
 within less than seven months after the Murder, and four after the 
 transactions of Carberry Hill.

 the left arm is looped over the shoulder, the hands cross the body and rest

 144. Portrait of General Monk, Duke of Albermarle, 
 
 Sir G. Kneller. 
 
 (3/t. 3 in. by 4 ft. 3 in.) 
 A three quarter portrait in armour, the head bare, and the hair y 
 of a light brown color, falls orrer the shoulders: a rich lace her- 
 chief fastened round the neck, descends half way over the breast 
 plate. His left hand is placed on his hip, and his right, holding 
 a baton, leans on a pedestal covered with a crimson mantle, on 
 which also lies his helmet. 
 
 The subject of this picture was called on to play a conspi- 
 cuous part in English History, the result rather however, of 
 circumstances, than of ambition, or commanding talents. George 
 Monk was born in 1608, and served for many years in the 
 army of Charles I. During the civil wars he was made prisoner 
 by Fairfax, and sent to the tower, where he was confined till 
 1646. Through the interest of powerful friends he was at 
 length liberated and eventually accepted a command under 
 Cromwell by whom he was made Lieutenant General of Artil- 
 
104 GOODWOOD. 
 
 lery> and when the former quitted Scotland in pursuit of 
 Charles II, Monk was left to command in that Country with 
 7O00 Men — and in the spring of 1654 received the appoint- 
 ment of Commander-in-Chief of the Scottish Army, which he 
 retained till the death of the Protector. 
 
 On the accession of Richard to the Protectorate, General 
 Monk quietly acquiesced in the change, and seemed only desi- 
 rous of securing his own command. After his deposition, and 
 the assumption of power by the Parliament, the determination 
 of the General to take a leading part in the affairs of the king- 
 dom became apparent ; and Lambert, his principal rival, who 
 at that time possessed chief influence over the Army in Eng- 
 land, was directed, by the Committee of safety, to march North- 
 wards with a view to overawe Monk. The army however, 
 deserted its leaders ; Lambert was arrested, and Monk imme- 
 diately marched on London, where his influence at once became 
 paramount. After a short time, during which the rump Par- 
 liament was dissolved, he opened a communication with Charles, 
 whom he proclaimed in London on the 8th of May, 1660. He 
 met and welcomed the King at Dover, who received him with 
 the distinction due to one who had been so instrumental in the 
 great event. His rewards soon followed, and they were as 
 ample as a subject could expect. He was created a knight of 
 the garter, was admitted into the privy council, made master 
 of the horse, gentleman of the bed chamber, first commissioner 
 of the treasury, and finally was raised to the house of peers as 
 Duke of Albermarle,with a grant of landed estate to the amount 
 of 7000/. a year, besides other pensions.

 porting the head; the darh hair falls loosely over the shoulders.

 G. Lambert. 
 
 (3/f. 10 in. by 2 ft. Sin.) 
 
 George Lambert, an English Artist of considerable merit, was 
 born in 1710. He has the credit of being one of the first of the 
 English Painters who treated Landscape with a pleasing and pictu- 
 resque effect. The forms of his trees are grand and his masses are 
 conducted with judgment. 
 
 He died in 1765, Aged 55. 
 
 148. A Sea piece, representing an Engagement. 
 (3/£. by 4 ft. without a frame.) 
 
 149. Portrait of Thomas Bruce Brudenell, first Earl of 
 Ailesbury, 
 
 (2 ft. 10 in. by 2 ft. 4 in.) 
 A remarkably fine picture — the countenance is seen in a three quarter 
 vieiv, and the features are commanding and expressive In scarlet and 
 ermine robes, and holding a coronet. 
 
 150. Portrait of Mary, third Duchess of Richmond.

 so?i drapery. She holds some embroidery in her hand, on which she 
 appears to have been engaged. There is an air of great ease and elegance 
 in the figure, and the colouring is most harmonious. 
 
 This celebrated Artist, the daughter of Joseph Kaufftnan, a Swiss 
 portrait painter, was born at Coire, the capital of the Grisons in 
 1742. She early displayed great talents for Music and Painting, 
 both of which arts she cultivated with extraordinary assiduity. In 
 1765 she came to England, whither a very brilliant reputation had 
 already preceded her. During a residence of seventeen years in this 
 Country, she received a full share of honors, rewards, and distinc- 
 tions, and in 1769 was admitted into the Royal Academy. "Her 
 pictures are distinguished by an air of mild and virginal dignity; but 
 there is a want of variety in her forms, of impassioned and charac- 
 teristic expression in her heads, and of energy in her attitudes." 
 She left England in 1782 and returned to Rome, where the exercise 
 of her talents was equally well rewarded, which she continued with 
 an undiminished reputation till her death in 1807. 
 
 The windows of the Billiard Room reaching to the 
 floor open on the gardens and pleasure grounds, and 
 the prospect thus presented is truly beautiful and pictu- 
 resque; an elegant little building, termed the Temple 
 of Minerva, on an elevation opposite, forms a pleasing 
 and prominent object. The furniture of the room is 
 appropriate to the purpose for which it is applied. 
 
 Leaving this apartment by folding doors, we enter an 
 area enclosing 
 
 THE STONE STAIRCASE. 
 
 Since the first portion of these pages was printed, the 
 East wing of Goodwood House, left in an unfinished state 
 
GOODWOOD. 107 
 
 by the third Duke of Richmond has been completed. It 
 comprehends on the ground floor, Ball, Turret and 
 Supper Rooms, which open, en suite, from the Drawing 
 Room. In the area, however, to which we have now 
 conducted the visitor, are folding doors leading -to these 
 new apartments, and as a notice of them has been, of 
 necessity, omitted in its proper place, we shall enter on 
 their description immediately after enumerating the pic- 
 tures which surround the Staircase. 
 
 An exquisitely finished model of a man-of-war co- 
 vered with a glass case, is placed under the window. 
 
 On the right hand, in the lower compartment, under 
 the stairs is 
 
 151. A Portrait of Oliver Cromwell. 
 
 (I ft. 1 in. by 11 in.) 
 The original of this portrait, which is a small full length, has always 
 been ascribed to the pencil of General Lambert, taken before the Battle 
 of Naseby. It represents the interior of a village ale house ; Cromwell, 
 who appears smoking a pipe, is dressed in a buff jerkin, over which 
 descends a steel cuirass. On his head is a broad hat turned up on one side 
 with a feather in it. 
 
 152. Monkeys at Cards. Teniers. 
 
 (9 in. by 7 in.) 
 
 153. The Lady's Last Stake. Hogarth. 
 
 3/f. 6 in. by 3/t.) 
 This well known picture painted for Lord Charlemont, was entitled 
 
108 GOODWOOD. 
 
 " Picquet, or Virtue in danger." It is an interior scene and represents 
 a young female who after a night spent at cards, has lost to a handsome 
 gallant, her money, watch, jeicels fyc. He has risen from his chair and is 
 in the act of displaying the valuables of which he has become possessed. 
 
 The terms on ivhich he tenders their restitution may be well imagined 
 from the countenance of the Lady— it is marked by doubt, hesitation and 
 anxiety. The cards scattered on the fire and about the room too plainly 
 denote that she tost her temper. 
 
 The candles on the mantel piece are burnt doicn nearly to their sockets 
 and the clock on which is a figure of Time, with the motto nunc, points to 
 an early hour in the morning. The colouring is brilliant and the expres- 
 sion on the features of the two figures most happily pourtrayed. 
 
 William Hogarth, the most original of English painters, was born 
 in London in 1698 — He was apprenticed to a Silversmith and was 
 chiefly employed in engraving arms and cyphers on plate. His at- 
 tachment to painting, however, induced him, immediately on the ex- 
 piration of his apprenticeship, to enter the Academy in St. Martin's 
 Lane. His first efforts were directed to portraits, and his great 
 facility in catching likenesses, brought him great occupation.— In 
 his series of the Harlot's progress, was displayed that matchless 
 original talent, which at once elevated him to the highest rank in his 
 profession and has secured to him a lasting reputation. These were 
 followed by the Rake's progress — Marriage a la Mode — Industry and 
 Idleness &c. 
 
 The great merit of Hogarth's performances, was the rich vein of 
 satire, by which they are almost all characterised. He ridiculed the 
 follies and vices of the age with an unsparing hand, while the strokes 
 of nature with which his pictures abound, bring them home to the 
 heart and understanding of every one. Hogarth executed engra- 
 vings from nearly all his own pictures with spirit and fidelity. 
 He Died on the 26th. October, 1764. 
 
 154. Landscape. Cuyp. (Senior.) 
 
 (2 ft. 5 in. by I ft. 9 in.) 
 
 Dutch Scenery ; on the right a ruined castle, with boats and fishermen, 
 aflat landscape in the distance— The coloring is tame and insipid. 
 
GOODWOOD. 109 
 
 Jacob Cuyp, a Dutch Artist, born at Dort 1580, was the father of 
 the celebrated painter of that name. His pictures are but little 
 known out of Holland, and generally represent views in the neigh- 
 bourhood of Dort. 
 
 155. Poultry. Hondecooter. 
 
 (1/*. 6 in. by lft. 4 k 
 
 156. Poultry. Hondecooter. 
 
 {I ft. 6in. by lft. 4 in., forming a pair with the preceding) 
 
 Two very highly finished and spirited paintings. 
 
 This eminent Artist was born at Utrecht, 1636. His chief subjects 
 are domestic fowls, the plumage of which is painted in the most per- 
 fect manner and with uncommon accuracy ; his touch was firm and 
 bold, and his coloring rich and mellow. He Died at the age of 59. 
 
 157. Dutch Landscape, with boats and fishermen, on 
 copper. 
 
 (lft. lin. by 10 in.) 
 
 158. An Italian Landscape, with ruins and figures. 
 
 (i ft. 6 in. by 2 ft. 10 in.) 
 
 159 An old painting representing the interior of the 
 antient Court of Wards ; numerous figures. 
 
 (2 ft. 4 in. by 2 ft. 4 in.) 
 
 160. Sea port, Ruins and figures. 
 
 (1/*. 10 in. by lft. 4: in.) 
 A highly finished and brilliantly colored picture : two figures in the 
 fore ground, a )nan on a white horse and a female with dead poultry are 
 executed with much spirit. 
 
110 GOODWOOD. 
 
 161. St. Agnes. 
 
 (l/*.8 in by lft. 5 in.) 
 This picture has always been ascribed to the younger Teniers. It 
 seems to be a sketch for a larger picture ; The style is bold and masterly 
 and the coloring vigorous, but coarse and unfinished. It represents the 
 Saint in the attitude of prayer beside a rude altar, nn which is an open 
 book and a crucifix, at her feet is a lamb : the back ground a wild 
 landscape. 
 
 162. A Head. Guido. 
 
 (oval.) 
 An arrow has just pierced the breast ; the countenance expresses deep 
 anguish, the eyes are turned upward with an air of resignation. The co- 
 loring of the flesh is pale and death-like. 
 
 163. Landscape. John Smith. 
 
 (2 ft. by 1 ft. 5 in. 
 
 164. Landscape. George Smith. 
 
 (2 ft. by 1 ft. 5 in. forming a pair with the preceding.) 
 These two beautiful pictures hang on either side of the doors leading to 
 the Ball Room and strongly display the characteristic excellencies of the 
 Artists. In both, the composition is full and admirably arranged — the 
 tints clear and transparent— the distances embracing a wide extent of 
 scenery are managed with singular skill and felicity, and the foliage is 
 light and airy. There is however, a warmth of coloring which distin- 
 guishes the picture of George from that of his brother. 
 
 165 Children disputing for Fruit. Piazzetti. 
 
 (lft. 5 in. by lft. 1 in.) 
 A well executed and striking picture. It represents two Children quar- 
 relling for the possession of a piece of fruit, with their mother seated in a 
 chair, endeavouring to restore peace between them. The characteristic 
 and chief excellence of the piece consists in the admirable disposition of the 
 
GOODWOOD. I 1 1 
 
 lights and shadows, which are strongly opposed ; the figures stand out in 
 hold relief, and the attitude of the child who retains possession of the prize 
 is spirited and happily conceived 
 
 G. P. Piazzetti was born at Venice in 1682. He early adopted the 
 style of Guercino, and the picture above described is a favorable 
 specimen of his success ; in his endeavours, however to display strong 
 contrasts, 
 
 166. Landscape, with Elijah and the Widow of Zare- 
 
 pliath. POELEMBURG. 
 
 (11 in by 9 in) 
 
 A pleasing and well finished little picture ; the figures are introduced 
 with great neatness and accuracy. 
 
 C. Poelemburgh, was born at Utrecht in 1586. He adopted a 
 pleasing style of painting small landscapes, distinguished by the 
 suavity and delicacy of his coloring, an agreeable choice of scenery, 
 enriched with architecture, into which he introduced figures as re- 
 markable for the neatness of his pencil and the cleaness of his carna- 
 tions, as they are deficient in design." He visited London at the 
 invitation of Charles I. where he painted many of his best pictures. 
 
 167. Portrait of Madame de Montespan, by a French 
 Artist. 
 
 (3/f 9 in. by 2 ft. 11. in.) 
 
 Represented in a reclining posture, with a blue drapery loosely 
 thrown over her; before her lies a book supported by a skull. 
 
 Madame de Montespan was for many years the favorite 
 mistress of Louis XIV, she having succeeded in weaning his 
 affections from the beautiful and unhappy La Valliere. She 
 was a brilliant, witty, and ambitious woman. 
 
 Mr. James, in his life of Louis XIV. thus speaks of her, we 
 are told that Madame de Montespan only sought to captivate 
 the mind of the King ; but Louis, unrestrained by any moral 
 
112 GOODWOOD. 
 
 principle was not likely to be timid in declaring the feelings 
 with which she had inspired him. For a time the new intrigue 
 of the dissolute monarch was studiously concealed, and the 
 children, which were the fruits thereof, were born and educa- 
 ted in strictest privacy. After the final retirement, however 
 of La Valiere to the convent of the Carmelites, the liason was 
 openly avowed and the mistress triumphed over the wife in the 
 midst of state, and pomp, and display, the adulation of Cour- 
 tiers, and the enjoyment of power. But, continues Mr. James, 
 if her love of ostentatious luxury, of magnificent palaces and 
 gardens, of works of art of all kinds, of splendour, pomp, and 
 display, contributed to dissipate large sums, and encouraged in 
 Louis that taste for boundless expense which, combined with 
 other faults, exhausted his treasury and ruined his finances, 
 she was, at the same time, the liberal protector of arts and 
 sciences, the friend and patron of genius wherever it was to be 
 met with, the benefactor of the poor and the needy, the first to 
 admire virtue in others, and to bestow praise and honour where 
 it was due. Misfortune or sorrow seldom applied to her in 
 vain, and she ever shewed herself fearless and generous in ad- 
 vocating a just cause with a monarch who was not always sen- 
 sible of justice. Eight children were the result of this con- 
 nexion, to whom the King was much attached. Madame de 
 Montespan was in her turn supplanted by Madame de Mainte- 
 non who afterwards became the wife of Louis. She died at 
 the waters of Bourbon in 1707 at the age of sixty-six. 
 
 16*8. Madonna and Child. 
 
 (2 ft. 2 in. by lft. 6 in.) 
 
 Ascribed to the pencil of Parmigiani : the Infant Christ is lying 
 before the Virgin with his left arm leaning on a globe, and his right 
 hand holding a rose. 
 
GOODWOOD. 113 
 
 169. An Infant John the Baptist. 
 
 (4 ft. 2 in. by 3/f. 4 in.) 
 This picture has been ascribed to Sir P. Lely, and the head, 
 which, there is little doubt is a portrait of the first Duke of Rich- 
 mond, presents all the characteristics of his style — but little finish 
 has been bestowed on the general subject. 
 
 170. Copy of the famous picture of the Marriage in 
 Cana. Paul Veronese. 
 
 (6 ft. 10 in. by Aft. 10 in.) 
 The original of this extraordinary Picture is now in the Gallery 
 of the Louvre at Paris ; it is upwards of twenty five feet wide and 
 consists of an immense assemblage of figures, many of them portraits.

 (4 ft. & in. by % ft. 2 in.) 
 
 "Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her 
 sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. And 
 he said unto her, what wilt thou ? she said unto him, grant that 
 these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other 
 on the left, in thy Kingdom." — Matthew ch. 20 —v. 20, 21 .

 (each 4 ft. 6 in. by lft. 10 in.) 
 
 181. Landscape. John Smith. 
 
 (Aft. 2 in. by 3 ft. 4 in.) 
 
 For this beautiful picture, the Society for the encouragement of 
 Arts Sfc. awarded the second premium in 1760; George Smith 
 having gained the first. In the coloring and composition it 
 strongly resembles the productions of his talented brother ; the sub- 
 ject is full and well arranged, the tints harmonious and a finished 
 delicacy of touch is perceptible in every part : a view of Chi- 
 chester Cathedral is introduced in the distance. 
 
 182. Historical piece. Solimene. 
 
 (2ft. din. by lft. 7 in.) 
 
 Representing Alexander the Great, receiving the medicine from 
 his Physician in spite of the warning that he had received from his 
 friend Parmenio that it was likely to be poison.

 183. Historical piece. Solimene. 
 
 (2 ft. 3 in.by lft. 7 in. forming a pair with the preceding.) 
 
 Representing the same Conqueror in the act of cutting the fa- 
 mous Gordian Knot. 
 
 1S4. Historical Piece — Antiochus and Stratonice. 
 
 James Barry. 
 
 (4 ft. lin. by 3 ft. 4 in.) 
 
 A striking and attractive picture. The subject is tak".n from a well 
 known and romantic stonj in Grecian History related by Plutarch in his 
 life of Demetrius — Antiochus, son of Seleucus was violently enamoured of 
 Stratonice his father's young wife : considering his passion hopeless he 
 gave himself up to despair and resolved by neglecting all care of his per- 
 son, and abstaining from food, to terminate his existence. His physician 
 Erasistratus easily discovered the cause of his illness, but it was difficult 
 to conjecture who was the object. In order to find it out he spent whole 
 days in his chamber, and whenever any beautiful person entered it he ob- 
 served his patient ivith great attention. When others entered he was 
 entirely unaffected, but when Stratonice came in, either alone, or with 
 Seleucus, his altered demeanour, at once proved to his experienced physician 
 that she was the object of his passion. To save his Son's life, as the story 
 goes, Seleucus consented to their union and made them King and Queen 
 of Upper Asia. 
 
 The painter has chosen the time when Stratonice, with three attendants, 
 has presented herself before the couch of Antiochus ; his eyes are fixed on 
 her with an air of melancholy , blended with resignation. The features of 
 the old physician, who by the pulse is reading the thoughts of the dejected 
 youth, are singularly expressive. The mild and benevolent expression of 
 Seleucus, who is seated by his Son's side, contrasts admirably with the 
 thoughtful and anxious look of Erasistratus. 
 
 James Barry, a British Artiist of strong original talent was born at 
 Cork 1741. What are termed the eccentricities of genius, were, un- 
 fortunately for his professional prospects, and his peace of mind most 
 fully developed in the character and conduct of Barry. In 1782 he 
 
116 GOODWOOD. 
 
 was elected professor of painting to the Royal Academy ; but so in- 
 consistent were his propositions, and so ill-judged his censure, that 
 he was first removed from the chair and afterwards expelled. "Few 
 men" says his biographer," appear to have had more correct notions of 
 the true principles of painting, and few have departed more widely 
 from them ; his ambition was to excel no less as a theorist, than as a 
 practical artist ; and when he has failed in either character, it may 
 be attributed to the peculiar turn of his mind, which in his early, as 
 well as in his advanced years, gave strong indications of derange- 
 ment."— He died in 1806. 
 
 3 85. Portrait of Sophonisba Angosciola, playing on a 
 harpsicord, painted by herself. 
 
 (3 ft. 7 in. by 3 ft. 6 in.) 
 
 A three-quarter portrait in a high black dress, above which, around the 
 neck is a small lace collar, with ruffles at the wrists ; the hair plaited 
 close on the head. The accessories of the picture are in deep shadow, the 
 light being almost wholly thrown on her face and hands. To her right, 
 in the back ground is an old attendant. 
 
 Sophonisba Angosciola, was born at Cremona, of a noble family, 
 in 1533 ; she attained a high reputation in the profession to which she 
 devoted herself. As a painter of portraits, which are characterised 
 by extreme ease and grace in the attitudes, she ranked amongst the 
 most eminent of her day. Her sisters, Lucia, Europa, and Anna 
 Maria also practised the art, the second with almost equal success. 
 
 She died 1626, having reached the great age of 93 ; a deprivation 
 of sight, caused by too close an application to her canvass, took 
 place many years previously. 
 
 186. Portrait of George II. Hudson. 
 
 {1 ft. by Aft. 6 in.) 
 
 A full length figure, in his robes, seated in a chair of state, and wearing 
 the George and the Garter : his left hand holds a sceptre, and the right 
 arm reclines on a carved table on which is seen the crown ; the back 
 ground formed by red drapery. 
 
GOODWOOD. 117 
 
 Thomas Hudson, a popular portrait painter of his day, was born 
 in Devonshire 1701. His productions have but little merit as works of 
 art, and on the rise of Sir Joshua Reynolds, he retired from the prac- 
 tice of his profession and died, in 1779. 
 
 187. Portrait of Caroline, Queen of George II. 
 
 Hudson. 
 
 (7 ft. by 4 ft. 6 in.) 
 
 A full length figure attired in a white satin dress, with a deep flounce 
 of gold embroidery ; a dark mantle and train fastened in front ivith jew- 
 els, and lined with ermine. She holds a Sceptre in the left hand, and the 
 crown lies un a table to the left. 
 
 This picture, has always been ascribed to Peter Vander Banck ; an 
 eminent engraver : the fact, however that he died thirty years previous to 
 the accession of George II. setting aside his not following the profession 
 of a painter, must disprove the assertion. As the picture possesses all the 
 characteristics of Hudson's style, by whom the portrait of her husband 
 was painted, his name has now been affixed to it. 
 
 188. Portrait of "Sebastien de Penancoet de Keroualle, 
 Compte de Keroualle, frere de Louise, Duchesse de 
 Portsmouth et d'Aubigny."

 {1 ft. by Aft. \ in.) 
 
 This large painting which is by no means a finished specimen of art, re- 
 presents the Saint asleep in a sitting posture, the head reclining on the 
 right hand : two cherubim are descending ivith the cross. 
 
 192. Portrait of George III. Allan Ramsay. 
 
 (J ft. 10 in. by 4 ft. 10 in.) 
 
 A full length in his robes of state, wearing the George and Garter : his 
 left hand leans on a table on which is the crown, and the right hand is 
 placed on the hip : his dress a light satin, richly figured. 
 
 Allan Ramsay, was born at Edinburgh in 1709. He painted 
 portraits with considerable ability and success, although he never 
 reached the highest rank in his profession. He was in great favor 
 during the early part of the reign of George III. and died 1784.

 195. Portrait of a Lady, by a French Artist. 
 
 (4 ft. 6 in. by 3 ft. Sin.) 
 
 Representing a young and beautiful woman ; she is seated on a 
 couch, the left arm leaning on a crimson pillow, and holding a dove 
 in her hands : a cupid by her side rises as if attracted by the bird. 
 
 The hair is dark and flowing ; a deep blue mantle thrown over 
 her arm, passes behind her and falls in front of the picture. The 
 coloring is gaudy, but the attitude is easy, elegant and unrestrained, 
 
 196. Portrait of Mrs. General Dorrien. Romney. 
 
 (Aft. by 3ft. 2 in.) 
 
 A full length, seated on a bank and caressing a dog. Attired in 
 a high white dress and rustic straw hat. This picture displays 
 more care and finish than Homney was wont to bestow on his 
 productions : the features are handsome and animated. 
 
 197. Portrait of the Hon. Mrs. Damer. Romney. 
 
 (2 ft. 5 in. by 2ft.) 
 
 This picture displays a marked contrast to the preceding one by 
 the same Artist. The style is bold and masterly, but unfinished 
 even to coarseness. The subject of it is represented in half 'length f 
 in a pink dress fastened over the breast by an ornament, with the 
 arms folded.

 at page 40. 
 
 198. Portrait of Dr. Buckner, Bishop of Chichester. 
 
 ROMNEY. 
 
 (2ft.5in.by2ft.) 
 
 Dr. Buckner, an eminent and learned Divine, was born in 
 Chichester 1734, and educated at the Charter House, and at 
 Clare Hall, Cambridge. In 1/98 he was consecrated Bishop 
 of Chichester, and died 1824.

 ther of Lord Edward Fitzgerald. 
 
 200. Lion and Lioness Stubbs. 
 
 (2ft. 6 in. by 2ft. 1 in.) 
 
 George Stubbs, an eminent painter of Animals was born at Li- 
 verpool 1724. He applied particularly to the study of Horses, and 
 of Ms skill in this branch of his profession we have a proof from 
 several pictures at which we shall presently arrive. He also greatly 
 excelled in the delineation of other animals. 
 
THE EAST WING 
 
 Of the House was intended to have been appropriated 
 to the purpose of a Picture Gallery, but at the death 
 of the third Duke of Richmond in 1806, the extensive 
 additions to the old mansion, planned by him, and then 
 in rapid progress, were suspended. The portion thus 
 unfinished included the entire East Wing, and which till 
 the last few months has remained in the same state 
 without floors, or ceilings, in fact with nothing but the 
 bare walls. A sketch, by the Duke's own hand, of what 
 the room was to have been is still in existence, the 
 names of the best pictures with the positions they were 
 to occupy, being marked down on it. 
 
 Goodwood House is rather singularly planned, being 
 built on four sides of a hexagon, with towers at the an- 
 gles, the offices are at the Western extremity, and the 
 principal apartments occupy the three sides, and open 
 
 Q

 into each other, although no vista can be obtained 
 through the whole at one time owing to the peculiarity 
 of their arrangement. 
 
 In the spring of 1838, the completion of the mansion 
 was commenced, from the designs and under the super- 
 intendance of John Elliott, Esq., Architect of Chiches- 
 ter, and it having been finished with great magnificence 
 was opened on the 2Jth. February, 1839, being the day 
 on which the Earl of March attained his majority. 
 
 The Ball Room is nearly ninety feet in length, thirty 
 feet in width, and twenty five feet in height. It is 
 lighted by five windows, placed on the Eastern side of 
 the apartment. The centre of this side to the ex- 
 tent of one half of its length is carried out several feet, 
 and in the recess thus obtained four columns are placed, 
 pilasters finishing the wall on either side. The shafts of 
 the columns are of granite, of similar size and dimen- 
 sions to those in the Entrance Hall, with statuary mar- 
 ble bases, veined marble plinths, and capitols, in white 
 scagliola, of the Corinthian Order. These support a 
 highly enriched Entablature which is continued round 
 the room forming the cornice ; the enrichments are gilt, 
 and the mouldings picked out in gold. The mouldings 
 forming the bases of the columns are also continued 
 round the room, and gilt to correspond with the cor- 
 nice. 
 
 On the opposite side are doors communicating with

 the Supper Room. The two fire places have Chimney 
 pieces beautifully executed in statuary marble with cou- 
 pled Corinthian Columns and cornice. The Gallery for 
 the orchestra is at the lower end of the room, and con- 
 tributes very much to its general effect : the railing in 
 front is composed of a very rich gilt scroll similar in de- 
 sign to the enrichment in the frieze of the cornice. 
 — Four splendid looking glasses adorn the apartment ; 
 one on each of the chimney pieces — one, between them 
 opposite the centre of the recess, and one at the upper 
 end, between the doors opening to the Drawing Room. 
 The latter is placed on a solid marble step correspond- 
 ing with the plinths of the Columns, from which it 
 reaches to the under side of the cornice, being with the 
 frame nearly sixteen feet in height : it is said to be the 
 largest plate in the kingdom. Three magnificent or- 
 molu chandeliers, each bearing twelve lamps are sus- 
 pended from the ceiling. The draperies are of white 
 satin damask, edged with gold, with a rich gilt cornice 
 over them. In the recess the cornice is continued over 
 the windows, and the drapery is elegantly arranged be- 
 tween them. The effect of the room when lighted up 
 is exceedingly chaste and brilliant. 
 
 The Turrret Room, opening from the Ball Room, 
 and fitted up in a corresponding style, leads into the 
 Conservatories. 
 
 The Supper and Ante-Rooms are much simpler in

 their character but have a pleasing and finished appear- 
 ance. They are also lighted with ormolu chandeliers : 
 the drapery is of yellow satin damask edged with gold, 
 and with gilt cornices similar to those in the Ball Room. 
 The occasion chosen for the first display of these 
 princely Halls was the day on which the eldest Son of 
 their noble owner, the cherished heir not only of his 
 great possessions — but of his unsullied name, attained 
 the age of manhood.* A panegyric either on the public 
 or private character of the Duke of Richmond would, 
 perhaps, be misplaced in these pages. It will, at this 
 
 * The following beautiful Stanzas were addressed to Lord March, by Charles 
 Crocker, the talented and favorite Poet of Chichester. 
 
 Through Goodwood's groves Joy's gladsome voice 
 
 Is heard exultant far and wide ; 
 " Come ! and let every heart rejoice ; 
 
 And care awhile be laid aside." 
 In Cottage, Hall, and Bower, around, 
 The cheerful shouts of mirth resound ; 
 
 All hail the auspicious day 
 That gives to Manhood Richmond's Heir, 
 Whose manners bland — whose virtues rare 
 All his ancestral fame shall share, 
 
 And claim the Minstrel's lay. 
 
 And while the Fair — the Rich — the Great, 
 
 Join in the festive dance'and song ; 
 While village bands, to celebrate 
 
 The glad event, assembled throng ; 
 The Muse aloft on buoyant wing, 
 Thus, 'mid the general joy would sing ; 
 
 " Oh ! bright be His career, 
 Graced with that gentleness of mind, 
 That energy with worth combined, 
 The birthright of his race and kind, 
 
 Through many a future year. 
 
GOODWOOD. 1 25 
 
 time, suffice to say, that, independently of the fair pro- 
 mise which accompanies the introduction of the Earl of 
 March to the honors, the cares and the realities of life, 
 the reputation of his Father, tried and sustained — by 
 his own hearth — in fields of stricken battle — and in the 
 difficulties of the senate — has tended to awaken a deeper 
 interest in the welfare of the Son. 
 
 In the bye-gone days when the appellation of "Merry 
 England,' 5 was so appropriately and justly bestowed on 
 this island, the fearless bearing and disinterested patrio- 
 tism of the " Barons," exercising a great and important 
 influence on the minds of the people, contributed mainly 
 to the formation of the national character : and although 
 the events of succeeding years have, to a great extent, 
 changed the nature of their services, and narrowed the 
 sphere of their operations, yet the maintenance of that 
 character, in all its manliness and purity, depends in no 
 slight degree, on the firmness and example of their de- 
 scendants. 
 
 The high and responsible station, therefore, which in 
 
 And should dread war— which Heaven avert, 
 
 Its horrid ravages renew, 
 He to his side may proudly girt 
 
 The sword that gleamed at Waterloo : 
 And, fired with all a hero's zeal, 
 May Anglesey's high spirit feel ; 
 
 Or, at the helm of state, 
 With Wisdom and with Truth preside. 
 Or, happier far, from pomp and pride 
 Retired, spread comfort far and wide, 
 
 And thus be truly great." 
 
126 GOODAVOOl). 
 
 the course of nature, at some distant period Lord March 
 may be called on to fill ; a station involving the discharge 
 of duties and the exercise of power affecting the pros- 
 perity of the extended circle of which he will be the 
 centre — has long attracted the observation and awakened 
 the solicitude of those by whom the influence of his ex- 
 ample will, naturally and more especially be felt. Under 
 these circumstances it is not a matter of surprize that 
 the Duke of Richmond should have been desirous to 
 distinguish the day — to him so proud and interesting — 
 when his Son attained his majority, by a generous and 
 widely extended hospitality. 
 
 An Entertainment on a scale more magnificent and 
 recherche than was ever remembered in Western Sus- 
 sex was given at Goodwood House on Wednesday the 
 2 /th. February, 1S39.* 
 
 The noble Host had assembled around him at Good- 
 wood a large and distinguished party of the Nobility, 
 among whom we will venture to name two, who hailed 
 the day with no ordinary feelings of pride and gratifica- 
 
 *It is a co-incidence, which although now well remembered, should 
 not be omitted in these pages, that on the same day (1814) the Duke 
 of Richmond received a dangerous wound from a musquetball, never 
 yet extracted, at the battle of Orthez — the almost closing scene of 
 those brilliant operations of the English Army under the Duke of 
 Wellington, which terminated the Peninsula war in the defeat of the 
 French troops, although commanded by " a Marshall of the Empire" 
 and on what Soult once termed " the sacred territory of France."

 tfon; thegrandsire of the young Earl, the veteran soldier, 
 the Marquis of Anglesey who as Earl of Uxbridge led 
 the British cavalry to victory at Waterloo, — and an il- 
 lustrious and high-born Lady, the daughter of a Gordon 
 — the widow of the late, and mother of the present 
 Duke of Richmond.* 
 
 A Stag hunt in the Park commenced the rejoicings 
 and festivities of the day. In the ample Tennis Court 
 at Waterbeach, which was most tastefully fitted up for 
 the occasion with banners, and laurels, and flowers, and 
 lighted by thousands of variagated lamps, nearly three 
 hundred Gentlemen met at dinner to celebrate the event. 
 Lord George Lennox m. p. for Western Sussex presiding. 
 The reception given to the Earl of March who with 
 his Father entered the Hall in the course of the Evenings 
 was most cordial and enthusiastic. As night set in, the 
 Lodges leading into the Park were illuminated, and a 
 huge bon-fire on the summit of St. Roche's Hill, the 
 highest elevation of the Downs, shed its light for miles 
 over the surrounding country. A Ball and Supper to 
 nearly seven hundred of the Nobility and Gentry of the 
 County followed in the evening, all the arrangements for 
 which were conducted with extraordinary splendor and 
 magnificence. f 
 
 *A costly and elegant piece of plate was presented to Lord March 
 on the morning of the 27th, by the Duchess Dowager of Richmond. 
 t Upon this occasion, the fine Entrance Hall was converted into a 
 
128 GOODWOOD. 
 
 On the succeeding Friday the Duke of Richmond en- 
 tertained his tenantry and their friends at dinner, which 
 was laid in the New Ball Room : nearly two hundred of 
 " the Farmers of Sussex/' on this occasion partook of 
 his Grace's hospitality. Nor were the humbler classes 
 forgotten at this festive time; a liberal donation was 
 given to every individual employed on the estates, and 
 the children of the Boxgrove School, and of the 
 West-hampnett Union, to the number of seven hundred, 
 were plentifully regaled in the Park on the following 
 Saturday. 
 
 Drawing Room, in which the Duke and Duchess of Richmond re- 
 ceived their company, from whence they passed to the Saloon and 
 Ball Room. A temporary avenue, one hundred feet long, lighted by 
 variegated lamps, and beautifully decorated with flowers and laurels, 
 was erected from the centre window of the large Library across the 
 lawn, at the extremity of which the carriages drew up. The Egyp- 
 tian Dining Room, the Long Hall, the Tapestry Drawing Room, and 
 the Old Dining Room were prepared for the supper. It is needless 
 almost to add that to give eclat to this splendid fete every thing 
 which wealth, taste, and ingenuity could supply, was to be found in 
 lavish profusion. At any time the richness of the furniture, and the 
 beauty and rarity of the articles of virtu, which adorn Goodwood 
 House, could not fail to excite attention and admiration, but on the 
 evening in question the brilliancy of the illumination, with the im- 
 mense additional decoration, rendered the scene one of surpassing 
 magnificence. 
 
 Subjoined are the Names and Residences of those present at the 
 Entertainment. As an occasion on which so many Sussex families

 To reach which, we must retrace our steps through the

 to the old mansion, and is now but little used. At 
 either end are six fluted columns of the Ionic Order, 
 supporting a deep cornice. The extent of the Saloon 
 within the columns is in length fifty nine feet, and in 
 width twenty feet. On each side of the doors leading to 
 the domestic offices are bronzed busts of Charles II., 
 and Sarah, second Duchess of Richmond. In niches 
 are placed antique heads of Nero, Caligula, and two 
 Roman Empresses, and on the upper end are two Library

THE TAPESTRY DRAWING ROOM, 
 
 The principal saloon of the old house, is also compa- 
 ratively deserted. It is nevertheless a finely propor- 
 tioned and elegantly finished apartment. The windows 
 open to the lawn and command a beautiful view of the 
 grounds ; the Dog Kennels a very handsome building, 
 terminating the prospect. The Walls are hung with 
 magnificent Gobelin Tapestry, presented by Louis XV. 
 to the third Duke of Richmond when Ambassador at the 
 French Court. It consists of four divisions representing 
 scenes from the adventures of Don Quixotte. These 
 beautiful specimens of skill and ingenuity are in the most 
 perfect preservation, and have all the appearance of highly 
 finished paintings. The immediate subjects are sur- 
 rounded by imaginary frames, beyond which are festoons 
 of flowers, and a peacock with its tail spread surmounts 
 the whole. The colours are most brilliant, and the fea- 
 tures of the numerous figures singularly expressive. 
 
 The largest, facing the windows is fourteen feet, by 
 twelve feet, and contains ten figures, the subject is

 great beauty, and of equal brilliancy with the larger 
 pieces. 
 
 The plaster cast, from the face of William Pitt, taken 
 a few hours after his death on January 23rd. 1806, by 
 Nollekens, is preserved here in a glass case. 
 
 The Chimney piece is an exquisitively finished work 
 of art, the production of one of the most celebrated of 
 English Sculptors, John Bacon. It is in white marble, 
 and consists of two figures male and female, about five 
 feet in height, drawing aside a drapery which unveils 
 the fire place, and forms the upper portion of the design. 
 
 It was executed for the third Duke of Richmond, from

 whom the Sculptor received the sum of five hundred 
 pounds.* 
 
 The size of the room is thirty five feet, by twenty 
 three; the ceiling with the cornice and mouldings richly 
 carved and gilt : the floor is covered with a magnificent 
 
 * Bacon's merits have been widely acknowledged — he felt where his 
 strength lay, when he said his statues were his best works. He in- 
 fused more good English sense into his sculpture than any preceding 
 artist. Having little imagination, he willingly welcomed those fi- 
 gures which Spenser calls " dark conceits," because they came with- 
 out study or meditation. His style of sculpture was, with the excep- 
 tion of his single statues, decidedly of that kind called the picturesque. 
 The result of the whole is sometimes magnificent — the figures are 
 well placed and commanding — the auxiliary symbols are scattered 
 with profuse liberality, and the workmanship is ever neat, skilful, 
 elaborate.

 One day while he was in Westminster Abbey, he was accosted by 
 a stranger, who said, " That monument to Chatham, sir, is admirable 
 upon the whole, but it has great, defects." " I should feel obliged 
 sir," said the sculptor, " if you would be so kind as to point them out 
 to me." " That I will gladly," said the stranger — " Why here ! and 
 there! and there!— don't you see? bad, very bad !" and at every 
 word he spoke he struck the places alluded to with the iron end of 
 his walking stick, in a manner that seemed likely to hurt the work. 
 
 " But will you tell me, sir," said the sculptor, " your reasons for 
 thinking those parts bad ?" " I have already done so to Bacon him- 
 self, sir," said the critic, " so I shall not repeat them to you — I 
 pointed out other defects too while the monument was forming, but 
 he refused to be convinced." " What then you are personally ac- 
 quainted with Bacon ?" said the sculptor, not a little amazed. " O 
 yes, sir," replied the other, " I have been intimate with him for many 
 years ; a clever man, sir, but obstinate." " Were Bacon here now," 
 said the artist, turning away, " he would not like to hear a friend of 
 such old standing speaking of his work so roughly."

 In the passage which we now enter, is the staircase 
 communicating with the sleeping apartments of the old 
 House. In the one immediately over the Dining Room 
 is a fine painting (223) of the first Duke of Richmond, 
 when a youth wearing the robes of the order of the Gar- 
 ter, by Sir G. Kneller. In the Billiard Room in a glass 
 case, is an Egyptian Mummy of a female, in an excel- 
 lent state of preservation ; it is about five feet high, and 
 the colors of the figures and hieroglyphics with which it 
 is covered are as brilliant as if recently laid on. It was 
 sent to England from Egypt, as a present to the third 
 Duke of Richmond, in a stone case, or coffin, on which 
 an inscription had been placed, but the lid being unfor- 
 tunately broken and lost, it is uncertain from whence

 the body was taken, or what was the rank, which, when 
 animated, it held in Society.* 
 
 * The following extract from a journal of M. Villotean, communica- 
 ted to M. de Sacy, will give a pretty correct notion of the swathings 
 and general appearance of an enbalmed Egyptian body. 
 
 " The 5th of October, 1800, having left Carnak, we passed to the 
 other bank of the Nile and encamped opposite the village of Gour- 
 ney. Scarcely were we encamped, when we saw some men approach 
 with dead bodies on their shoulders, which turned out to be mum- 
 mies. They put them on the ground, and offered them for sale. One 
 was the mummy of a female very well preserved. As we wished to 
 know how it had been embalmed and swathed, we took off the outer 
 covering, consisting of an upper and a lower part, the opening of 
 which had been laced in front. With much care we took off a great 
 number of bandages, which passed round the legs and feet, the thighs, 
 the body, arms and head ; and after this, we began to distinguish 
 more clearly the forms of the extremities, the head, feet, and hands, 
 while the shape of the bosom and body were still but faintly visible. 
 
 " As we came nearer to the skin, the bandages were broader ,and the 
 extremities became distinct. At last we could clearly distinguish 
 the nails of the fingers and toes, the nose, mouth, and eyes. Finally, 
 we came to a kind of envelope which covered every part ; so that we 
 took off in a single piece the part which covered the higher division 
 of the face, and which preserved perfectly the form of the projecting 
 features. The other parts were more covered in proportion, but those 
 where the embalmer had been skilful enough to fill up the form, 
 shewed us nothing but black and dry members. The shape and the 
 colour of the nails, expressed on the envelope, disappeared. 
 
 " Yet all the parts of the body, though dried, retained their natu- 
 ral form. The hair, eyes, nose, and mouth were so well preserved, 
 that one could easily recognize the expression of countenance which 
 they must have produced. The hair was quite black, without any mix- 
 ture of white hair, though the person appeared to have been old at the 
 time of death. All that we could observe was, that it was a little red 
 at the roots. The hair was well fixed, long, and divided into plaits, 
 fastened up on the head rather carelessly ; which makes me infer, 
 that at that time the women let their hair fall down along their back 
 in numerous tresses.

1 46 GOODWOOD, 
 
 Again returning to the Staircase Hall, we shall con- 
 duct the Visitor through the principal suite of Chambers 
 
 " The eyelids, lashes, and eyebrows were still in their natural state 
 — the eyes only appeared to be slightly injured, because they were 
 dried, and the pupil had shrunk in a little. The nose was pretty 
 nearly in its natural state, very regularly formed and very beautiful. 
 The tongue was dry and like a piece of parchment. The lips were 
 thin, and the mouth small. The teeth appeared to be worn out through 
 old age, and to have lost their sharpness, but they were all there, 
 and seemed not to have been decayed. Even at the prescntday, it 
 is remarkable that the natives of Egypt have very good teeth, which 
 they keep to the most advanced age. The head of this mummy pre- 
 sented in general a tolerably regular oval. The body had been open- 
 ed on the left side of the stomach in order to get at the entrails, and 
 to introduce the aromatic substances ; and we drew out enough to sa- 
 tisfy ourselves, that these were resinous materials. As to the sexual 
 parts, though dried, they preserved their form. 
 
 " This female mummy had the arms and hands extended, and 
 placed along the body, while a male mummy, which we examined, 
 had the arms crossed on the breast ; facts which we observed to be of 
 regular occurrence in the female and male mummies." 
 
 The Book of Genesis contains the earliest notice of embalming in 
 Egypt ; and, independent of the evidence furnished by the mummies 
 themselves, proves the high antiquity of the practice. When Jacob 
 died — " Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm 
 his father ; and they embalmed Israel. And forty days were fulfilled 
 for him ; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed ; 
 and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days." (Ge- 
 nesis, chap. 1.) Jacob's body was then carried into Canaan, accom- 
 panied by " all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and 
 the elders of the land of Egypt," and deposited in the sepulchre 
 which Abraham had purchased in the neighbourhood of Mamie. This 
 was indeed " a very great company," as the book of Genesis describes 
 it, and the ceremony may fairly be considered as what usually occur- 
 red on the death of an Egyptian of high rank. Joseph also was em- 
 balmed, and he was put into a coffin or mummy -box in Egypt. When 
 the children of Israel were flying from the bondage of the Pharaohs, 
 they took with them the bones of their great ancestor Joseph, in com-

 and very many rare and choice Engravings, among which 
 we would select the following as worthy the attention of

 manry Artillery to their Commandant, His Grace the 
 Duke of Richmond, as a token of their respect and es- 
 teem" — and others, trophies of different victories. The 
 following prints adorn the walls,

 mains of Joseph at Shechem, in the promised land, after having car- 
 ried them about in their wanderings more than forty years.

 ture. Recesses at each end are filled with a valuable 
 collection of Dresden, Sevre and Indian porcelain con- 
 sisting of the choicest vases, bowls, jars, tea and other 
 services. 
 
 The walls are hung with an Indian chintz paper, and 
 two very large plates of looking glass are let into the

 We have thus concluded our imperfect survey of the 
 interior of Goodwood House. Much has doubtless been 
 omitted, and still more, perhaps, too hastily dismissed 
 that might have merited a careful, and more minute in- 
 vestigation: but the limits to which it was originally 
 proposed, that this publication should extend, have al- 
 ready been exceeded ; while at the same time, a more 
 diffuse and critical examination of the pictures would 
 scarcely have been in accordance with the object for 
 which it has been compiled. 
 
THE PARK. 
 
 High Wood — Temple of Minerva and Neptune — Hermitage — 
 Orangery — Dairy — Trees — Gardens — Dog Kennels — Stables 
 — Pheasantry — Cairney Seat, See. &c. 
 
 That species of Landscape, known as Park Scenery 
 is peculiarly a characteristic of England. The attach- 
 ment of all classes to a rural life, is strongly displayed in 
 the Mansions, the Villas, and the beautiful Cottages 
 which form so prominent a feature over the face of the 
 whole country. There is nothing which strikes foreign- 
 ers so much as the beauty of our country abodes, and the 
 peculiarity of our country life. "The elegancies, the arts 
 and refinements of the city are carried out and blended, 
 from end to end of the island, so beautifully with the 
 peaceful simplicity of the country, that nothing excites 
 more the admiration of strangers than those rural para- 
 dises, the halls, castles, abbeys, lodges, and cottages in 
 which our nobility and gentry spend more or less of 
 every year. 5 '*

GOODWOOD, 155 
 
 A Park, by which is meant some hundreds of acres of 
 ground, set apart for pleasure, planted with noble trees 
 and surrounding a country seat, is almost unknown ex- 
 cept in England; "and the rich green velvet turf which 
 characterises an English Park is no where to be found 
 after leaving Great Britain, till it is accidentally met 
 with in some nook of a Swiss Valley or on the summit 
 of some Appenine."* 
 
 Although nature may do much towards the formation 
 of these beautiful scenes, yet man does much more: a 
 picturesque or commanding situation, without the in- 
 tervention of art may be wholly thrown away, while 
 oftentimes, by the merely judicious grouping of trees of 
 different forms, a spot unmarked by natural beauties — 
 a lawn unvaried by a single swell, may present an agree- 
 able and a lovely scene. But at Goodwood, both nature 
 and art have contributed with a liberal hand. 
 
 The situation of the House, although not in the cen- 
 tre of the Park, is nevertheless so far removed from its 
 extremities, as to have ample space around it. To the 
 East, at the distance of a few hundred yards, commence 
 those beautiful swells and valleys, which add so greatly 
 to the charm of the landscape, and mark peculiarly the 
 cultivated scenery of the South Downs. It was the in- 
 tention of the third Duke the great improver of these

 estates, to have surrounded the entire park with a flint 
 wall, which was commenced in 1761* that the Deer, now 
 as then, kept at Halnaker, might have been introduced 
 into it. This undertaking, however, was never carried 
 into effect, and in many parts the plantations are the 
 only boundaries. 
 
 The grounds immediately connected with the House, 
 termed the High Wood, include about forty acres, and 
 are enclosed on all sides. The approach from the win- 
 dows of the Tapestry Drawing Room is very pleasing ; 
 they open to an extensive lawn of the finest turf, bounded 
 on each side by forest trees, grouped with much effect. 
 
 To the right on an artificial elevation, a temple has 
 been erected for the purpose of receiving a Stone, bear- 
 ing one of the earliest Roman inscriptions in England. 
 It was discovered in 1731, in digging the foundations 
 of the Council Chamber in the City of Chichester, and 
 although partly defaced and broken, the inscription may 
 be readily made out; it is as follows

 The stone is of grey Sussex Marble, and seems to have 
 been about six feet long by two feet and three quarters 
 broad, the letters beautifully and exactly drawn, and three 
 inches high. Near the spot where it was found, at the 
 depth of four feet, the remains of two stone walls, three 
 feet thick, and forming an angle were also discovered, 
 probably part of the Temple to which this stone relates. 
 On either side of it are statues of Neptune and Minerva, 
 and above a head inscribed Claudius Cogidubnus.* 
 
 In the centre of the wood is an artificial glen, repre- 
 senting the scene of an Earthquake, with the ruined wall 
 of an Abbey or Chapel. The introduction of such at- 
 
 health and preservation of the Imperial Family, by the authority of 
 King Cogidubnus the Lieutenant of Tiberius Claudius Augustus in 
 Britain. The company of Artificers, with those who were ambitious of 
 the honour of supplying materials, defrayed the expence, — Pudens, 
 the son of Pudentinus gave the ground. 
 
 The City of Chichester was formerly a Roman station ; and there 
 is little doubt that the present walls occupy the scite of those built 
 by the Romans, and that the plan of the City, with but little altera- 
 tion, remains exactly as it was when they had possession of Britain. 
 
 *Tacitus tells us several cities were given to King Cogidubnus after 
 the success of Aulus Plautius and Ostorius Scapula under Claudius for 
 his fidelity to the Romans ; and according to the Roman custom he here 
 takes the name of his patron, and styles himself Tib. CI. Cogidubnus 
 King and legate of the emperor in Britain. By his order a college or 
 company of artists or mechanics like those on Vitalis's epitaph at Bath 
 under which denomination were included several sorts of workmen 
 together, dedicated this spot to Neptune and Minerva, the one the 
 sovereign of the sea, which perhaps came up to the walls of the station? 
 the other the patroness of arts.' 7

 tempts is at all times a matter of doubtful taste, and in 
 the immediate vicinity of groves and highly cultivated 
 garden scenery, its propriety is more than questionable. 
 If the idea of its being artificial can be lost in the cre- 
 ation of wildness and solitude, the object is fully an- 
 swered ; but if, as is generally the case, the work of man 
 is visible, where nature alone could produce the desired 
 effect, the result can hardly fail to be poor and indiffer- 
 ent. In the present instance however, the thick foliage 
 of the magnificent trees around tends in a great measure 
 to keep up the delusion. In the centre is a very fine 
 Horse Chesnut. 
 
 Peace ! if thou hast on earth a biding place 
 
 'Tis surely mid this Solitude's deep shades, 
 Where Nature's worshipper may fondly trace 
 
 Scenes which thy holiest influence pervades. 
 The Sabbath, with its silence and repose, 
 
 Now calmly reigns, and to the pensive mind 
 Imparts a healing balm for all the woes 
 
 That flesh inherits. Oh tis sweet to find 
 Amid life's waste a resting place like this, 
 
 Where care and grief and pain may sleep awhile 
 And infelt Joy assume her sweetest smile. 
 
 Thus heaven vouchsafes a foretaste of its bliss, 
 Thus graciously refines and fits the heart 
 
 To act, whate'er our fate, its destined part. 
 
 Charles Crocker. 
 
 Adjoining the ruins is an Hermitage, before the door 
 of which is placed an open stone coffin. Beneath are 
 various subterraneous walks, intended to have been ap-

 propriated, at least such is the tradition, to the sole use 
 of the solitary being who was to have tenanted the lonely 
 spot. 
 
 Not far removed is the Orangery, which, although an 
 ample building is not well calculated for the object to 
 which it is applied : it contains, nevertheless a good -col- 
 lection of trees. The parterre in front is very pleasing: 
 it is judiciously laid out in flower beds, and entirely sur- 
 rounded by lofty trees whose different forms and colors 
 blending with, and receding behind each other make up 
 a delightful retreat. 
 
 In another part of the plantation is the Dairy, an ele- 
 gant little building, tastefully and completely fitted up ; 
 attached to it is a refreshment room, open to the grounds 
 and representing the interior of a gothic temple, the roof 
 is formed of carved oak and the buttresses which sup- 
 port it are terminated by figures bearing shields, on 
 which are emblazoned the arms of Lennox, Kerouaile, 
 Brudenal, and Cadogan ; the windows are of colored 
 glass. We cannot however but express a regret that it 
 is in a state of delapidation, a very trifling expense, and 
 a little care would yet arrest the hand of time, but they 
 must be promptly applied or neglect will have done its 
 work. The garden in front of the Dairy is devoted to 
 the raising of plants and shrubs to feed the flower beds 
 of the ornamental Gardens. 
 
 Throughout the whole of these extensive grounds, 
 
160 GOODWOOD, 
 
 there is certainly one leading defect— the absence of a 
 general plan, by which the various parts — each beautiful 
 in itself — might be so assimilated and connected as to 
 form a magnificent and harmonious whole. There are 
 man y scenes of surpassing beauty, but they do not 
 improve each other; the noble avenue of chesnuts — 
 the plantations of the Orangery — the flower Garden — 
 the Hermitage — are all distinct and unconnected fea- 
 tures.* 
 
 In the Park and High Wood many of the timber and 
 ornamental trees are well worthy of notice. They con- 
 sist principally of Cedar, Beech, American Oak, Larch, 
 Fir, Lime, Tulip, Cyprus, Plane, and Chesnut. The 
 woods are very extensive and consist of Beech, Larch, 
 Spruce and Scotch Fir, the three latter however are fast 
 disappearing, and before many years the Beech will alone 
 remain. The whole of the plantations were formed by 
 the third Duke. 
 
 On the 2nd. October l759,f twenty fine Magnolias 
 were planted around the house, of these, two were 
 twenty feet high, the largest seventeen inches in circum-

 scenery. Whatever may be the beauties of a residence they are lost 
 without this master-walk, which operates as a leading principle to 
 guide in the emplacement and character of all the details. ''—Loudon . 
 
 t From a MS. note in the handwriting of Peter Collinson, on the

 ference and the other fourteen and a half inches, mea- 
 sured about four inches above the ground. There now 
 remain but two, one in front of the Orangery, and ano- 
 ther in the high wood. The latter is fast decaying, and 
 an unfavorable situation, surrounded by tall forest trees 
 will soon complete its destruction ; the trunk is hollow 
 and partly gone, but its circumference when perfect, 
 four feet, ten inches, may be accurately ascertained, its 
 height is about thirty five feet. 
 
 The cedars (Pinus CedrusJ are the greatest ornament 
 of Goodwood. We learn from a MS. memorandum 
 written on the titlet of Miller's Gardener's Dictionary in 
 the Library, that "in 1761 the Duke of Richmond 
 planted one thousand Cedars of Lebanon,* four years old, 
 procured for him by his friend, Peter Collinson, the Duke 
 being then twenty six years old. About fifty were 
 planted between the two roads that lead, the one from 
 Rook's Hill's gate, the other from the pond on Har- 
 roways, towards the Swan's pond. These fifty are 
 planted at the junction of these two roads, not far from 
 the wall with brick piers. About two hundred more 
 were put in the same plantation about yards south 
 
 * Of these, one hundred and thirty-nine only are remaining, in the 
 following positions — Goodwood Park 36 — Road to Molecomb 62 — 
 Garden Coppice 10 — Paddock near the Valdoe 4 — Waterbeach Gar- 
 den 1— Halnaker Farm near the Mortar Mile Cottage 1 — High 
 Wood 25— Total 139.

 of the door in the wall called the — door. About 
 
 fifty more were put in the same plantation, at the head 
 of the Warren bottom. Two or three hundred were 
 put in the plantation west of the new kitchen and 
 and flower garden ; the remainder were dispersed in the 
 clumps in the park and at Molecomb.*" 
 
 In the sacred writings we find frequent mention made 
 of the Cedar. " The voice of the Lord breaketh the 
 Cedars of Lebanon/ 5 "The righteous shall flourish like 
 a palm tree, and spread abroad like a Cedar of Lebanon." 
 "Behold" says the Prophet Ezekiel " the Assyrian was 
 a Cedar in Lebanon, with fair branches, and with a 
 shadowing shroud, and of a high stature ; and his top 
 was among the thick boughs. His boughs were multiplied 
 and his branches became long. The fir trees were not 
 like his boughs, nor the chesnut trees like his branches, 
 nor any tree in the garden of God like unto him in 
 beauty." 
 
 The expression, his top was among the thick branches 
 is singularly expressive ; in cedars the leading branch 
 continues to spire above the rest, till the tree has at- 
 tained its full size, it then becomes what is now termed 
 clump-headed or in the metaphorical language of the East, 
 its top is among the thick branches, and this is the state

 head of one of the valleys : it was till lately the residence of Lord 
 George Lennox.

 in which they are most perfect and beautiful. Many of 
 the trees at Goodwood have reached their full growth, at 
 least the highest perfection which they ever attain in 
 this climate. The finest tree is in a paddock near the 
 dog kennels, it measures in circumference nineteen feet, 
 at about four feet from the ground, and just above where 
 the first branch shoots, upwards of twenty five feet. 
 Opposite the house, near Waterbeach, are several 
 others, two of which are eighteen feet ; one, eighteen 
 feet six inches ; and a fourth seventeen feet six in cir- 
 cumference, their height varies from fifty to sixty feet ; 
 some of the principal limbs exceed ten feet in circum- 
 ference. 
 
 The Beech flourishes here and attains to a very large 
 size, and very many might be selected as remarkable 
 specimens ; opposite the Entrance to the Stables is a 
 very fine one, measuring at four feet from the ground 
 eighteen feet in circumference. 
 
 There are several varieties of Fir — and those trees 
 which grow in detached situations possess much pictu- 
 resque beauty. Near the Kitchen gardens is a spruce 
 fir, one of the tallest trees in the park. The Scotch fir 
 is but little esteemed as a park tree. Gilpin remarks 
 " it is a hardy plant and therefore put to every servile 
 oflice. If you wish to screen your house from the south 
 west wind, plant Scotch firs and plant them close and 
 thick. If you want to shelter a nursery of young trees, 
 
164 GOODWOOD. 
 
 plant Scotch firs, and as the phrase is, you may af- 
 terwards weed them out as you please." They are sel- 
 dom planted as single trees, or in a judicious group; but 
 generally in close compact bodies, in thick array, which 
 suffocates them ; and if they ever get loose from this 
 bondage, they are already ruined. Their lateral branches 
 are gone, and their stems are drawn into poles, on which 
 their heads appear, stuck as on a centre. In many parts 
 of the Highlands it becomes a majestic tree. — In a val- 
 ley near the workshops are several very fine silver firs, 
 and at the Orangery a few good Weymouth pines. 
 
 The Tulip Trees and Virginian Oaks were planted in 
 the year 1739, of the former there is a very fine speci- 
 men in the High Wood, and many others are scattered 
 through the plantations. In its native country, it sur- 
 passes most other trees in height and in the beauty of 
 its foliage. " The perfect straightness and uniform di- 
 ameter of its trunk for upwards of forty feet, the regular 
 disposition of its branches, the great richness of its foli- 
 age, and the grandeur of its odoriferous flowers entitle 
 it to be considered one of the most magnificent vege- 
 tables of the temperate Zone". 
 
 Of the Oak there are many kinds to be met with here : 
 in the gardens in front of the house are three (Quercus 
 Suber) Cork trees, evergreens and natives of South Eu- 
 rope. They are not common in England. The fungous 
 bark produces the true cork ; the leaves are of an oval

 figure with sawed edges, their upper surface is smooth 
 and of a strong green color, and their under surface is 
 downy. The acorns are longish, smooth, and brown when 
 ripe, and of the size and shape of some of our common 
 acorns, to which they are so much alike, as not to be 
 distinguished when mixed together. In the High Wood 
 near the wooden bridge leading to the orchard and 
 flower garden is a remarkably fine Austrian or Turkey 
 Oak (Quercus cerris). It is distinguished by oblong 
 and pointed leaves, jagged, and a little hoary on the 
 under side : the acorns have rough, prickly cups. Im- 
 mediately surrounding the House and near the stables 
 are flourishing Oak plantations, principally Virginian, 
 many of the trees being of great height. Sussex has 
 been celebrated for its timber, and especially for its oak, 
 from the remotest antiquity. Before the Norman Con- 
 quest it was one continued forest, and even now it con- 
 tains not less than one hundred and eighty thousand 
 acres of woodland. The Weald here is every where 
 overspread with wood, which is so natural to the soil, 
 that if a field were sown with furze only, the ground 
 would be covered with young oaks in the course of a few 
 years. The quality of the wood is so well known to be 
 superior, that the navy contractors have generally stipu- 
 lated for Sussex oak in preference to every other kind.* 
 
 * Gilpin— Sir T. Dick Lauder. 
 
166 GOODWOOD. 
 
 In the High Wood are very luxuriant evergreen Oaks ; 
 a Phillyrea of considerable size and beauty; a noble ave- 
 nue of Chesnuts, terminated by the statue of a recum- 
 bant Lioness; and very many fine specimens of the 
 deciduous Cypress. 
 
 A few Plane trees (Platanus Orientalis) are scattered 
 through the Park, one opposite the Dog Kennels has 
 attained to a very large size and is a picturesque and 
 beautiful tree. 
 
 The Gardens of the Library and Conservatory fronts, 
 are planned with much taste, and are kept filled by a 
 succession of flowering plants. The kitchen Gardens 
 are at the extremity of the Park, near the Waterbeach 
 Entrance. They are large and surrounded by excellent 
 old walls, covered with choice fruit trees, they also con- 
 tain a row of very fine fig trees which bear most abun- 
 dantly. At the lower end is an immense Tennis Court, 
 erected at a very considerable expense, but now out of 
 repair: it is occasionally used for the purpose of the 
 meetings of the West Sussex Agricultural Association.* 
 
 A commodious Inn at Waterbeach joins the Park ; in

 sobriety and general good conduct.

 the yard behind the house, is a grove of singularly fine 
 Horse Chesnuts. 
 
 The Dog Kennels and the Stables are two of the 
 most complete establishments of their kind in England. 
 The former is erected on a rising ground, about a 
 quarter of a mile from the house. It is in length about 
 one hundred and forty-eight feet, the height of the 
 centre is twenty-eight feet and of the wings eighteen 
 feet, measured from the crown of the arches on which 
 it is built. In the construction of the underground 
 works extraordinary pains were taken; the reservoir, 
 which extends under the whole of the building is ca- 
 pable of containing ten thousand hogsheads of water, 
 and may be emptied by means of drains with ease and 
 rapidity. The distribution of the building is in four 
 kennels ; two of them thirty-six feet by fifteen feet, and 
 two others, thirty feet by fifteen feet : two feeding rooms, 
 twenty-eight feet by fifteen, in each of which is a venti- 
 lator at the top, and stoves to warm them in winter, 
 or air them in damp weather.* It was erected by the

 change is merely temporary, it was considered better to speak of the 
 building as it formerly existed, and as it might, and we hope may, 
 with very trifling expense, again exist. It is at present occupied by

 third Duke of Richmond, from the designs and under 
 the superintendence of James Wyatt. 
 
 The Stables, which are close to the House are a 
 handsome quadrangular Building erected from a design 
 of Sir William Chambers, by the third Duke of Rich- 
 mond, in the early part of his life. They contain, inde- 
 pendent of various offices, stalls for fifty-four horses, 
 with rooms above for grooms, and stable-keepers. 
 
 The Pheasantry is situated to the north-east of the 
 House, and it would be difficult to select a more beau- 
 tiful and enchanting scene. It affords a strong proof 
 how much a barren and uninteresting spot may be im- 
 proved by judicious planting and by the exercise of taste 
 and discrimination. It was originally a chalk pit, form- 
 ing an amphitheatre, with high and steep banks, except 
 on the South, where, from its being dug out on the 
 declivity of a hill, it is open, and commands a beauti- 
 ful and extensive prospect of the country to the sea. 
 
 The place is surrounded by a wall, but in consequence 
 of its being continued to the south along a deep haha, 
 the view from within is uninterrupted. The sides are 
 planted with evergreens, and cut into paths leading to 
 the summit, around which is a turfed walk ; it also 
 contains numerous fine trees, among which a cedar tow- 
 ers pre-eminent. The Pheasantry as its name denotes is 
 applied to the breeding and preservation of rare and va- 
 luable birds, which, here in great numbers enjoy a con- 
 
GOODWOOD. 169 
 
 siderable degree of liberty. The collection of gold and 
 silver pheasants is very choice, and perhaps scarcely to 
 be equalled in the kingdom ; there are also several spe- 
 cies of very fine parrots, parroquets, and cockatoos. In 
 the aviary, a long and handsome building to the right, 
 are various other foreign birds ; as well as doves, cana- 
 ries &c. &c. The surface of the ground at the bottom, 
 has been levelled and turfed, and a new pond, well 
 stocked with gold and silver fish, has been recently 
 added. At the extreme end is a cottage inhabited by 
 the keeper, who certainly rejoices in one of the most ro- 
 mantic and picturesque abodes, that nature and art ever 
 contributed to form. 
 
 Cairney Seat is situated just above the Pheasantry 
 and nearly at the summit of the hill. It was erected 
 from the materials of the tower of Hove Church, on the 
 fall of which they were purchased and applied to their pre- 
 sent purpose, and received its name from that of a faithful 
 old servant of the family, who in the latter years of his 
 life was much attached to the spot. Its situation is un- 
 rivalled, and the prospect embraces an immense extent 
 of the coasts of Hampshire and Sussex, with the inter- 
 vening plains spread out like a panorama beneath. It 
 is a small building in the Venetian style and was in- 
 tended for an occasional summer retreat. It contains a 
 lofty banqueting room, which was originally fitted up in 
 
170 GOODWOOD. 
 
 a very costly and magnificent manner, most elaborately 
 painted and gilt, and with statuary marble chimney 
 pieces. Having, however, been suffered to go to decay, 
 it underwent a few years since a complete repair, when 
 it was divested of all its ornaments and beauty, and fi- 
 nished more plainly and substantially. 
 
 By the kindness of the Duke of Richmond, Cairney 
 Seat is placed at the disposal of the public, and through- 
 out the summer it is much resorted to by the inhabitants 
 of Chichester in pleasure parties. Attendance is provid- 
 ed ; and the precaution of securing a ticket for the day, 
 which may be obtained of the Steward at Goodwood, 
 will always provide against disappointment. 
 
 Under the portico at the entrance to the banqueting 
 room was the horoscope, or configuration of the Planets 
 at the birth of the second Duke of Richmond on the 
 18th May, 1701. 
 
 Within the shrubbery is a shell grotto of exquisite 
 workmanship, which owes its origin to the taste and per- 
 severance of Sarah, second Duchess of Richmond and 
 her daughters. It is paved with black and white mar- 
 ble, and horses' teeth. Its length, including an alcove is 
 fifteen feet, six inches, and the breadth ten feet, six 
 inches. Its height from the floor to the crown of the 
 arch which forms the ceiling is upwards of eleven feet. 
 
 The greatest care and order have been displayed in the 
 disposition of the numerous varieties of shells into com-

 partments and devices ; in the recess are niches fitted 
 with mirrors, over and around which are vases and cor- 
 nucopias of flowers, all of shell work. The wood-work 
 of one portion of the arch has unfortunately fallen, leav- 
 ing a blank space, which much deteriorates from its ge- 
 neral effect.

 Did some enchanter wave his potent wand,

 Trundle or Encampment — Barrows — Tumuli — British Villages. 
 
 From the contemplation of these scenes, embellished 
 by all the skill and resources of men in the highest state 
 of civilization, we turn to a subject no less replete with 
 interest — their state when tenanted by the early inhabi- 
 tants of this Island in ages, long gone bye. 
 
 The indifferent observer might wander over these 
 extensive Downs, nor meet with any object, which would 
 attract his slightest notice : but to the enquiring mind, 
 there is not an inequality on the surface — there is not 
 a hollow, or an elevation which breaks its even round- 
 ness — nay, not even a mole-hill, but may convey un- 
 questionable proof of the existence of a numerous peo- 
 ple whose habits and condition, the evidence afforded in 
 these earth-works, assists very materially to illustrate.* 
 
 * In traversing these extensive Downs, our attention is continually 
 arrested by the works of the ancient Britons, strong fortresses, circles,

 There is perhaps no subject which has stronger claims 
 on the attention of the Historian and the Antiquary, than 
 the careful examination of the relics of the Antient Bri- 
 tons — the occupants of this Island 2000 years ago — and 
 there is certainly no locality in the whole Island which 
 offers a wider, or more fertile field for investigation and 
 research, than Sussex, and in fact all those counties, 
 through which the range of the chalk hills extends. 
 But how interesting soever the enquiry might prove, it 
 must of necessity, in these pages, be brief and limited. 
 
 St. Roche's Hill is a fine elevation about a mile from 
 Goodwood House : its height above low water mark, is 
 702 feet. On the summit is a large circular camp or 
 entrenchment of earth-work, including an area of about 
 five acres, It has a deep fosse, and an outer and inner 
 vallum. The inner vallum is raised to the height of 
 about four feet all round the edge of the enclosure, most 
 
 barrows, and other inequalities iu the ground, which are evidently 
 contrary to nature. Whoever has studied attentively the formation of 
 our chalk hills, will observe, that all maiden downs, by which I mean 
 all land untouched by the plough, bears a most even and smooth sur- 
 face ; and whenever we find the appearance of that surface altered hy 
 excavations and other irregularities, we may there look with a pros- 
 pect of success for the habitations of the Britons ; and especially if the 
 herbage is of a more verdant hue, and the soil thrown up by the moles 
 of a blacker tint. There, on turning up the soil, will be found con- 
 vincing proofs of ancient residence, such as animal bones, pottery, 
 brick tiles, and coins of the lower Empire. Sir R. C. Hoare.

 probably by the earth taken from the apex of the hill 
 which has been levelled to a perfect plane within the 
 fortification. The depth of the fosse could not have 
 been less than eighteen feet. At present there are two 
 entrances, but the original Barbican was on the west side 
 only; that on the east is evidently a modern innovation. 
 Exactly in the centre are the remains of a cell, now level 
 with the ground, the walls of which are composed of 
 flints cemented with mortar so very hard, as to render 
 them almost immoveable; its size is fourteen feet by 
 eleven.* 
 
 It has long been a matter of discussion with the 
 learned to what sera and to what people, these rude at- 
 tempts at fortification may be attributed. The most 
 elaborate account which has ever been given of them 
 founded on a persevering and careful investigation, is to 
 be met with in the history of Antient Wiltshire by Sir 
 Richard Colt Hoare. At the same time we are bound 
 to acknowledge that much light has been thrown on the 
 subject, so far as relates to Sussex, by the exertions of 
 Mr. T. King, an eminent Antiquarian, and a resident 
 in Chichester for upwards of 30 years, to whose pencil 
 
 *Mr. King suggests that this might have been the habitation of a 
 Monk, and dedicated to St. Roche ; probably, he says, erected on the 
 scite of a pagan temple dedicated to the protecting god of travellers 
 and of the highways. 
 
GOODWOOD. 175 
 
 and graver we are indebted for the engravings which 
 illustrate this portion of the work.* 
 
 By whom the encampment at St. Roche's Hill was 
 first founded, much difference of opinion exists : and it 
 has been ascribed by various writers successively to the 
 Britons, the Romans, the Danes and the Saxons. 
 
 There have been, however, some general and probable 
 rules laid down by Sir R. C. Hoare, for ascertaining in 
 some degree by what nation they were originally formed. 
 When they are found to be irregular in their form, 
 single in their construction, and with single and slight 
 banks and ditches, they may with certainty be pro- 
 nounced of genuine British origin, and the works of an 
 ignorant and unskilful people: and when we find in- 
 trenchments multiplied and distinguished by the vast- 
 ness of their banks, the height of their keeps, and ex- 
 treme depth of their ditches, we may suppose them to have 
 been the works of a nation better served in the art of 
 castrametation. But whenever we meet with works of a 
 square or oblong form, such as the fortification on the 
 Broile near Chichester, bounded by straight lines, and 
 with rounded angles, we may indubitably pronounce them 
 to be Roman. There are however numerous instances 
 
 * Mr. King has engraved some highly interesting plates of the 
 Antiquities of Chichester Cathedral, unique of their kind, and exe- 
 cuted with singular skill and fidelity.

 in which the Romans and Danes occupied and improved 
 the imperfect works of the Britons, which is the more 
 likely since the latter always selected for their stations, 
 elevated, dry and salubrious spots. 
 
 That the first settlement at St. Roche's Hill was an- 
 terior to the Romans there can be little doubt. From 
 the strength and regularity, however, of the ramparts and 
 fosse it would certainly seem that it was not raised as we 
 now see it by the Antient Britons. On the other hand 
 the Danes were an unsettled, wandering nation, seldom 
 remaining long enough in one place to enable them to 
 undertake and complete such extensive works ; while all 
 around the proofs that the Britons had fixed their habi- 
 tations on these Downs prior to this erection are abun- 
 dant and unquestionable. And the fact that in the moun- 
 tainous districts of Wales, where the Danes and Saxons 
 were never known to penetrate, similar military works 
 are to be ' found, strongly corroborates the opinion that 
 these people never raised, although they might have oc- 
 cupied them. In the absence, then, of all positive data, 
 it appears most probable that St. Roche's Hill was an 
 antient British station taken possession of, enlarged, and 
 more strongly fortified by the Romans. 
 
 Although the camp at St. Roche's hill, from its mag- 
 nitude and prominent situation, has thus claimed our 
 first notice, there are indications of the antient Britons

 of much earlier date to be met with on these Downs, in 
 the Barrows or Tumuli, which are so numerously scat- 
 tered around. That these mounds of earth were fune- 
 real has been clearly and satisfactorily proved — and that 
 they were raised prior to the invasion of the Romans can 
 scarcely be doubted. 
 
 The most simple and natural kind of sepulchral mo- 
 nument, and what appears to have been the most antient 
 and universal, consists of a mound of earth or heap of 
 stones raised over the remains of the deceased, and this 
 custom appears to have obtained among the earliest na- 
 tions of antiquity ; the obsequies of Patroclus are thus 
 described in the twenty-third book of the Iliad ; 
 
 " The Greeks obey ! where yet the embers glow, 
 Wide o'er the pile the sable wine they throw, 
 Next the white bones his sad companions place, 
 With tears collected in a golden vase, 
 The sacred relics to the tent they bore, 
 The urn a veil of linen covered o'er, 
 That done, they bid the sepulchre aspire, 
 And cast the deep foundations round the pyre ; 
 High in the midst they heap the swelling bed 
 Of rising earth, memorial of the dead." 
 
 The custom of burying the body entire was the most 
 primitive, that of reducing it to ashes was of later intro- 
 duction : both were in use among the Greeks and Ro- 
 mans, and we have every reason to believe that among 
 the antient Britons both prevailed at the same time. 
 
178 GOODWOOD. 
 
 The annexed engraving represents the four largest 
 Tumuli on these Downs; they are on the summit of the 
 hill which forms that beautiful valley called Kingly Bot- 
 tom, and may be seen for a distance of many miles. 
 They are circular in their form, constructed with great 
 regularity and composed of alternate strata of flint and 
 earth. Nos. 1, 2, and 4 present slight appearances of 
 having been injudiciously, and therefore, as to results, 
 unsuccessfully opened ; these three have also each a 
 vallum at their base. The exterior of these curious and 
 interesting monuments presents no appearances by 
 which we may be enabled to draw any inference by 
 whom, or even for what purpose they were raised. A 
 careful examination of their contents, however, will at 
 once remove the doubt, and with this view numbers of 
 them have been opened, many in Sussex, but by far the 
 greater part in Wiltshire ; in all, the result has been the 
 same, and establishes the fact of their origin and object 
 most fully, viz. that they were monuments raised over 
 the dead, by the Inhabitants of this Island before the in- 
 vasion of the Romans. No 5 shews the section of an 
 open Tumulus ;* the body was placed entire, with the 
 
 *This section, the sketch of which was supplied by Mr. King 
 gives us an excellent idea of the ancient mode of burial : it points 
 out the cist for the primary interment, also the cist for the urns, 
 sometimes placed at the end of the Tumuli, and not unfiequently, if 
 an after deposit, a little way below the surface.

 legs gathered up, in an excavation, or as it is termed, 
 cist, covered with chalk or flints, and the mound raised 
 over it : this was the primary interment. When the 
 body was first burnt, the ashes were collected together, 
 put into an urn and buried, the mouth covered with a 
 tile being placed downwards, either in the cist, or as is 
 the case in the present instance on one side of it. 
 These urns are composed of very coarse materials, rudely 
 formed, before the use of the lathe was known, and in 
 many instances very imperfectly baked: the patterns 
 with which they are ornamented display a great variety 
 of design, and are evidently worked by hand, not by 
 a mould. They seem to be indented on the clay when 
 in a moist state, by some pointed instrument, and to 
 have been baked either in the sun, or the fire of the fu- 
 neral pile. Such, without exception, have been the 
 urns found in our Barrows ; all claiming a rude and re- 
 mote British origin. After the Roman conquest a new 
 species of pottery was introduced among the Britons, 
 beautifully moulded, finely glazed and richly ornamented, 
 numerous fragments of which are to be found in all the 
 villages of the Romanized Britons, but not the smallest 
 morsel, neither a coin, nor a letter, nor in fact the 
 slightest indication of a Roman population in these 
 Tumuli.* 
 
 Having thus hastily noticed the resting places of the

 dead; we will bestow a few words on the habitations of 
 the living. We have, says Sir. R. C. Hoare, undoubted 
 proofs from history, and from existing remains, that the 
 earliest habitations were pits, or slight excavations in 
 the ground, covered and protected from the inclemency 
 of the weather, by boughs of trees, or sods of turf. The 
 high grounds were pointed out by nature, as the fittest 
 for these early settlements, being less encumbered by 
 wood, and affording a better pasture for the numerous 
 flocks and herds , from which the erratic tribes of the 
 first colonists drew their means of subsistence; but 
 after the conquest of our island by the Romans, when, 
 by means of their enlightened knowledge, society became 
 more civilized, the Britons began to quit the elevated 
 ridge of chalk hills, and seek more sheltered and desira- 
 ble situations. At first, we find them removed into the 
 sandy vales immediately bordering on the chalk hills ; 
 and at a later period, when the improved state of society 
 under the Romans ensured them security, the vallies 
 were cleared of wood, and towns and villages were 
 erected in the plains near rivers, which after the depar- 
 ture of the Romans, became the residence of the Saxons. 
 But a considerable period must have elapsed before these 
 important changes took place, for on our bleakest hills 
 
 articles deposited within our Barrows, evidently prove their very 
 high antiquity, and mark them of an sera prior to the Roman In- 
 vasion, Sir R. C. Hoare, 
 
GOODWOOD. 181 
 
 we find the luxuries of the Romans introduced into the 
 British settlements, flues, hypocausts, stuccoed and paint- 
 ed walls, &c. &c. Yet not a single inscription has ever 
 been discovered in any one of these British Villages, 
 that can throw any positive light on the sera in which 
 they flourished, or were deserted for a more temperate 
 and less exposed climate. 
 
 On the declivity of the hill, which forms the Eastern 
 side of Kingly Vale, are a number of these excavations 
 in the chalk. They vary in depth from two to four and 
 five feet ; a bank towards the valley seems to have been 
 raised by the chalk and flints thrown out, the mounds 
 between them are also formed by the same cause, and 
 there are evidently paths or causeways leading into 
 two of them. A sketch has been taken of them by Mr. 
 King (No. 6, plate). No attempts have ever been made 
 to examine them, nor have there ever been, so far as we 
 can ascertain, any relics found among them, which 
 afford proof of their origin. The supposition, therefore, 
 that they must have been a British Village is founded on 
 the following facts — that these Downs were a station of 
 the antient Britons — that in other parts of the range si- 
 milar spots exist which have been carefully examined 
 and have afforded undeniable evidence of the use to 
 which they were put — and that setting aside this appli- 
 cation of them, it is impossible to assign any reason what- 
 ever for their original formation. 
 
GOODWOOD RACES 
 
 Were established in 1802. In the spring of the pre- 
 vious year however, a meeting was arranged by the 
 members of the Goodwood Hunt, and the Officers of the 
 Sussex Militia. In the Sporting Magazine for April 
 1801, is the following notice "the new Race Course on 
 the Harroway, near Goodwood, the seat of his Grace the 
 Duke of Richmond, is now completely formed for sporty 
 and much admired by the acknowledged amateurs of the 
 turf." 
 
 The following appears in a newspaper published at 
 Chichester, May 5th. 1S02. *. * * "to 
 
 the efforts of equestrian skill, is to be added the princely 
 and almost unprecedented munificence of the Noble 
 Founder of the Goodwood Races, hi providing the new 
 erected race stand with a collation which might be en- 
 titled a general refrigarium, for the access was as easy as 
 the reception was elegant and hospitable," * 
 
GOODWOOD. 183 
 
 " the thanks of the county in general, and of this city 
 and its vicinity in particular, are largely due to His Grace 
 the Duke of Richmond, for having thus munificently and 
 liberally instituted an establishment of most material lo- 
 cal benefit in every point of view, both as a source of 
 pecuniary advantage to the inhabitants, and as a means of 
 forwarding to notice, and increasing the consequence of 
 this western part of the county ! We can only add our 
 wish that the illustrious founder may for many years en- 
 joy in health and happiness, this promising scion, planted 
 by his own hand, a wish in which we shall be joined by 
 all true Sussex Patriots. " 
 
 Considerable alterations and improvements have been 
 made in the Course at various times, but more especially 
 in 1829-30, and it is now surpassed by none in the king- 
 dom. To the exertions of the present Duke of Rich- 
 mond the celebrity which these Races have now obtained 
 is entirely owing, and the extraordinary increase in the 
 value and number of the stakes, compared with former 
 years, will sufficiently attest the high estimation in 
 which they are held. The new Grand Stand was open- 
 ed in 1830, it is an elegant and commodious building, 
 erected from a design by G. Draper, Esq. of Chichester. 
 It stands on an elevation, forming a terrace, finely turfed, 
 from which an excellent view of the whole Course may 
 be obtained; it occupies an area of one hundred and 
 twenty feet by seventy feet, and is fifty feet high from

 the ground to the lead flat of the betting stand. On the 
 ground floor there are two large refreshment rooms, 
 weighing room, and other offices. The first floor — ap- 
 proached by two large staircases — is occupied by retiring 
 rooms and a refreshment room ninely-six feet in length; 
 and immediately above this is the Ladies Stand, ninety- 
 six feet in length and forty feet in width, which being 
 formed in a series of raised benches is capable (without 
 crowding, or the least obstruction to a full view of the 
 Course) of containing six hundred persons : this room is 
 also accessible from the flat of the Doric Colonade which 
 surrounds the building and is ascended by separate stone 
 staircases on the outside. On the third floor is another 
 refreshment room principally for the use of gentlemen 
 who occupy the betting Stand and through which they 
 have egress thereto. The Stand when filled, is capable 
 of containing nearly three thousand persons. 
 
 For convenience of reference, the following account 
 of the Races, including the names, value and winners
