If there be a county in England for which Nature, like a kind mother, has done much, it is Devon- shire : there she has lavished mountain and val- ley, ocean and river, rock and forest, orchard and corn land, fruit and flower ; and these gifts she has canopied over with an azure curtain, some- times laced with golden sunshine, at others chequered with fleecy clouds, such as our tem- perate zone only can present, and our Wilsons and Lees alone can paint. Nor has she counter- balanced the bounties of a fat soil and beneficent sky by grudging, as elsewhere, talent and in- dustry to those for whom she has laid out this Hesperian garden : whether in the arts of war or peace, never have men of Devon been wanting in a moral power worthy to represent the na- tural advantages of the fair locality in which they were bred and bom : her Reynolds, North- cote, Cosway, Haydon, Danby, Eastlake, Lee, and other artists (with whom alone we are now in- terested), have well proven that they had hearts to feel the beauties by which their home was sur- rounded, and hands which, obedient to mind, could embody and realize both form and sen- timent. Exeter, the ancient and loyal capital of the West, has ever stood forward to maintain her Metropolitan rights ; her Institution, Athenaeum, and Scientific Societies have kept pace with those of our mighty hives of commerce and ma- nufacture, in which the stimulation and culture of intellect and invention were necessary as the air we breathe, not only to prosperity, but very ex- istence : for such marts of princely merchants, if once outstripped in the competing race of ex- cellence of design and perfection of manufacture, are soon deserted by fickle fortune ; the click of the wheel and hammer ceases, and the hum of . busy myriads is still. Exeter, rich and inde- pendent by the fixed income of its inhabitants, has needed not the spur of necessity, and incentive to thought and action, but has loved and patro- nised the Arts for their own sake, without any suspicion of interested motives, and proud may she well be of such conduct.

CATALOGUE OF AN EXHIBITION OF PORTRAITS OF DEPARTED WORTHIES Connected with the Comities of Devon §- Cornwall, ON LOAN IN THE Royal Albert Memorial Museum, IN THE CITY OF EXETER, (In connection with the Meeting of the Institute,) July and August, 1873. (REVISED EDITION.) EXETER: PRINTED AT THE "GAZETTE" OFFICE, HIGH STREET. Price One Shilling, 3 PREFACE. The success which attended the formation of the Loan Collections of National Portraits at South Kensington induced the attempt which has resulted in the collection of Portraits here catalogued. It was understood that the Council of the Royal Archaeological Institute were anxious to add to the attractions of their Annual Meetings Collections of Portraits of Local Celebrities,, and it was felt by the large and influential Committee that was appointed to arrange for the worthy reception of that august body in the ancient and loyal city of Exeter, that there could not be a more fitting place to inaugurate so interesting an addition to the usual programme of the Society, since in no other place which might be selected for their annual meeting could they hope to find around them a district which has been so fertile in men of distinction and fame, whether in Church or in State, by land or sea. Accordingly, at a meeting of the General Committee held on the 5 th June, 1873, the following resolutions, which show the object and scope of the Exhibition, were passed, viz. — That a Gallery of Portraits, &c, be provided for the Exeter Meeting of the Institute in July next. That the first object of the Gallery be a collection of portraits of eminent persons of Devon and Cornwall now deceased. That if space can be provided, the collection may include also pictures commemorating historical places or events connected with one or other of the counties. And the following were appointed a Committee to carry these resolutions into effect, viz. :— The Eight Worshipful the Mayor (C, J. Follett, Esq., B.C.L.), Chairman; Mr. Alderman Harding, ex-Mayor, President of the Graphic Society ; the Eev. F. T. Colby, B.D., F.S.A., Exeter ; Richard King, Esq., M.A., Crediton ; Horace C. Lloyd, Esq., Hon. Secretary to the Graphic Societety ; with Mr. Bartholomew C. Gidley, M.A., for Hon. Secretary ; and the work of collecting pictures was at once commenced. The absence of some well-known (and possibly expected) portraits will perhaps be noticed and commented on, but many circumstances have con- spired (notably the recent disastrous destruction of the Alexandra Palace by fire) to deter the owners of valuable portraits from intrusting them to the. tender mercies of packers, carriers, and picture-hangers ; and while regret- ting the absence of a few pictures, the Committee feel that they have great cause to congratulate the Institute and themselves on the collection which, in so brief a time, they have been enabled to bring together; and they desire to take this opportunity of tendering to those who have so kindly contributed pictures, and to others who have helped them with their advice and assistance., an expression of their most hearty thanks. NOTE TO EEVISED EDITION. The Compilers of the Catalogue desire to state that they are in no way respon- sible for the Titles of the Pictures, nor (save in a few instances only) for the Names of the Painters ; such Titles and Names having, with this exception, been assigned to the Pictures as were furnished by the owners themselves. If this reservation may seem to imply a doubt as to the identity of any of the portraits with the persons they profess to represent, the cause is not far to seek, and is referable to the Painters themselves. Nothing is more unfortunate than the mistaken affectation of Portrait-painters who will not condescend to place on the portraits they paint some mark or token by which they may be identified when subject and painter have both passed away. Formerly it was the practice to paint a man's coat of arms upon his picture (an easy way of insuring recognition)* ; and great painters (e.g. Paul Van Somes,) did not deem it beneath their dignity to trace their names upon the canvass their art had transformed ; but for many years past this has ceased to be so, and the identity of the most valuable and important portraits is allowed to rest on the evidence of tradition, unsatisfactoiy in any case, and eminently so where (as often happens with portraits) the traditions are liable to be broken or confused.- Should the Catalogue still contain any inaccuracies, notwithstanding the careful revision it has undergone, the compilers must crave the indulgence of their critics. Exeter, 30th August, 1873. Catalogue of Pictures. (In the Museum.) * 1 Sib JOHN" HAWKINS. PAINTEK. Unknown. Born at Plymouth, 1534 ; son of William Hawkins, a sea captain.

Much dreaded by Spain, and the name of ' Achines ' is constantly entered in Philip II.'s own hand, on the margin of despatches, often with some mark of dismay. On the picture are the arms granted to him by Elizabeth ; and the inscription "set. suae 57 — 1591." (The arms are — sa. on a point wavy, a lion pass. or. In chief 3 bezants, and ou a canton, an escallop between 2 palmer's staves, sa. crest, a demi- Moor, bound, with annulets on his arms and ears, or.) The chain represented is in the possession of Sir Henry Seale ; it was given to Hawkins by the Queen. Sir J olm Hawkins is said to have been the hero of the ballad — ' Would you hear of a Spanish lady How she woo'dan Englishman.' This picture was formerly in the collection of Harley, Earl of Oxford.

She was buried in St. Paul's churchyard, near Penzance ; and a monument has been erected to her memory by Prince Louis Lucien Bonaparte. She was cer- tainly one of those who were the last to retain the old Cornish speech ; but Boclenner, who died in 1798, (and was also of the reputed age of 102) and Tomson, of Truro, in 1784, also spoke it fluently.
