" Arnidft long-continued and difaftrous troubles, ecclefiaftical order had been utterly overthrown. Either from religious fcruples, or from difguft at the fupport which the bifhops were believed to have given to the violent meafures of the Court, general diffatisfaftion with the Eftablifhed Church, and defire for change, were prevailing through the country. The great body of the ferious clergy had adopted, or were prepared to adopt, the Scottifh Prefbyterian fyftem ; and thofe who ft ill conformed to the epifco- palian fervice were difpofed to recommend important modifications of it. Many, too, of the Congregational or Independent minifters, who had fled to Holland, hearing of a probability of better times at home, returned to their native land, and were beginning to exert confiderable influence among the moft liberal and determined reformers in Church and State. All things thus concurred to point out the neceffity of a full and deliberate reconiidera- tion of the entire Church queftion. It appeared, therefore, that the beft thing to be done was to bring the leading men, lay as well as clerical, of the different parties together; in the hope that, by calm and free difeuffion, the exifting fyftem might be fatisfaclorily modified, or fome other plan ftruck out that would more nearly accord, in doctrine and difcipline, with the fpirit and rule of Scripture, and meet with the concurrence of all real and intelligent Chriftians. With this view, the year after King Charles the Firft's removal from Hampton Court, an ordinance paffed both Houfes of Parliament for calling the Affembly of Divines. It is entitled ' An ordinance of the Lords and Commons in Parliament, for the calling an affembly of learned and godly divines and others, to be confulted with by the Parliament for fettling the government and liturgy of the Church of England, and for vindicating and clearing the laid Church from falfe afperfions and interpre- tations, as fliall be moft agreeable to the Word of God.' The affembly, therefore, had only power to deliberate and give advice to Parliament, on ecclefiaftical affairs, — it poffeffed no authority or jurifdiclion whatever. It i8 PAINTINGS. was conftituted thus : two divines were nominated, by Parliament, for each county, from a lift brought in by the members of the counties and boroughs refpeftively, — making about one hundred and twenty divines, thirty lay affeffors, — noblemen and commoners ; together with four minifters, and three lay affeffors, as commiffioners from Scotland. Their feffions began July i, 164.3; an d they continued to meet, with a few intervals, till February, 1649,— having held eleven hundred and fixty-three feffions during that period. They affembled, at firft, in the magnificent fhrine called Henry the Seventh's Chapel, forming part of Weftminfter Abbey; but afterwards they met in the Jerufalem Chamber — another building attached to the fame abbey. It is here that they are reprefented in the painting, which gives us, no doubt, a correct view of the place as it then appeared ; for it is known to have undergone hardly any alteration to the prefent day. " It may be interefting to furvey this venerable affembly, as it is defcribed by one of its members, — Principal Baillie. To Baillie's defcription, Mr. Herbert has obferved, in his fplendid piflure, a faithful corre- fpondence. " ' The like of that affembly,' writes the northern commiffioner, to a friend in Scotland, ' I never did fee ; and, as we hear fay, the like was never in England, nor anywhere is fhortly like to be. They did fit in Henry the Seventh's Chapel, in the place of the convocation ; but fince the weather grew cold, they did go to the Jerufalem Chamber — a fair room in the Abbey of Weftminfter. On both fides are ftages of feats. At the uppermoft end, there is a chair fet on a frame for the prolocutor Dr. Twiffe. Before it, on the ground, ftand two chairs for the two Mr. Affeffors, Dr. Burgefs and Mr. White. Before thefe two chairs, through the length of the room, ftands a table, at which fit the two fcribes, Mr. Byfield and Mr. Roborough. The houfe is all well hung, and has a good fire, which is fome dainties (rare thing) at London. Foreanent (oppofite to) the table, upon the prolocutor's right hand, there are three or four ranks of forms : on the loweft we five do fit. Upon the other, at our backs, the members of Parliament deputed to the affembly. On the forms foreanent us, on the prolocutor's left hand, going from the upper end of the houfe to the chimney, and at the other end of the houfe, and backiide of the table, till it come about (round) to our feats, are four or five ftages of forms, whereupon their divines fit as they pleafe ; albeit commonly they keep the fame place. From the chimney to the door there are no feats, but a void for paffage : the lords of Parliament ufed to fit on chairs in that void about the fire. " ' We meet every day of the week, except Saturday. We fit, commonly, from nine to two or three afternoon. The prolocutor, at the beginning and end, has a fhort prayer. The man, as the world knows, is very learned in the queftions he has ftudied, and very good, and beloved of all, and highly efteemed ; but merely bookifh, and not much, as it feems, acquainted with PAINTINGS. i conceived prayer ; among the unfitteft of all the company for any action ; fo, after prayer, he fits mute. It was the canny (prudent) conveyance of thefe who guide moft matters for their own intereft, to plant fuch a man, of purpofe, in the chair. The one affeffbr, our good friend, Dr. Burgefs — a very active and fharp man — supplies, fo far as is decent, the prolocutor's place ; the other, our good friend Mr. White, has kept in of the gout (ince our coming. Ordinarily there will be prefent about three fcore of their divines. Thefe are divided into three committees, one whereof every man is a member. No man is excluded who pleafes to come to any of the three. Every committee, as the Parliament gives order, in writ, to take any purpofe to confideration, takes a portion, and in their afternoon meeting prepares matters for the affembly ; lets down their minds in diftincT: propofitions; backs their propofitions with texts of icripture. After the prayer, Mr. Byfield, the fcribe, reads the propofitions and fcriptures, whereupon the affembly debates in a moft grave and orderly way. No man is called up to fpeak but who ftands up of his own accord. He fpeaks fo long as he will, without interruption. If two or three ftand up at once, then the divines confufedly call on his name whom they defire to hear firft. On whom the loudeft and manieft voices call, he fpeaks. No man fpeaks to any but to the prolocutor. They harangue long and very learnedly. They ftudy the queftion well beforehand, and prepare their fpeeches ; but withal the men are exceedingly prompt and well-fpoken. I do marvel at the very accurate and extemporal replies that many of them ufually make.' ' I thought meet, once for all, to give you a tafte of the outward form of their affembly. They follow the way of their Parliament. Much of their way is good and worthy of our imitation ; only their longlbmeness is woeful, at this time, when their Church and kingdom lie under a moft lamentable anarchy and confufion.' "The affembly was compofed of different parties, the defign being to felecT: fome of the moft moderate as well as the leading men of various views on Church government, in order, if poflible, to bring matters to fomething like a happy accommodation. The great majority were Prefbyterians, anxious to bring the whole kingdom of England into hearty union with Scotland in the fupport of their rigid and almoft adored ' Covenant.' A few were Epifcopalians, fome of them men of eminent character, but of little influence in the affembly. A few more were Eraftians, fo called from holding the opinions of Eraftus, a German divine, who held that the Scriptures furnifh no invariable rule or model of Church government, and that it was lawful for the magiftrate to eftabliffi what form he pleafed, lb long as it was not inconliftent with the fpirit and principles of Chriftianity, — a free-thinking doclrine reflecting Church government which has, of courfe, readily found favour with politicians and the advocates of Church eftablifhments. About ten or twelve members, befides, were Independents, or, as the leading men among them were called at that time, the ' diffenting brethren.' 20 PAINTINGS. " For the moft part, the affembly confifted of men of diftinguifhed learning, ability, and piety ; but as they differed in their opinions on many points, much time was confumed in debate. But this ' woeful longfome- ness 1 was not altogether without its advantage ; for as their discuffions gave rife to a multitude of publications on the queftions in debate, they greatly tended to fpread a fpirit of inquiry on eccleiiaftical and facred fubjecls among the people. And as points interefting to the various religious parties in the country came under difcufTion, and debate grew warm in the aiTembly, many an eager young divine of rifing influence, and many a layman of diftin&ion and intelligence would fometimes ftep in and liften to the argu- ments of the theological combatants. It was a mighty favour, however, to get in ; for Baillie tells us, ' no mortal might enter to fee or hear, let be to fit, without an order from both Houfes of Parliament.' The important difcuf- fions on toleration efpecially attracted, public attention ; and the artift, feizing the point of the height of that great argument, has appropriately introduced among the auditors fome eminent divines and laymen, of different parties, who were known to have been occafionally prefent. Indeed, Baillie mentions, that on the day when Philip Nye, in the name of the Inde- pendents, made his ever-memorable avowal of the principle of univerfal toleration, 1 the affembly was full of prime nobles and chief members of both Houfes of Parliament.' Here learned civilians, grave counfellors and judges, popular parliamentary leaders, gallant military commanders, and noblemen of high birth, fat and liftened, for hours, to the arguments of Stephen Marfhall and Philip Nye, of Dr. Goodwin and Richard Vines, as they profoundly reafoned, with the Scriptures in their hands, about the jus dvvinum of Prefbytery or of Independency ; about the primitive conftitution of the Church, minifterial orders, and the power of the keys ; about the rights of conference and the limits of themagiftrate's authority in regard to religion ; while their opposing arguments were confirmed, or checked, or poifed by the dialectic acutenefs and oriental learning of Selden or of Lightfoot, and the free, bold fpirit of Sir Harry Vane. Such queftions attracted the attention of educated laymen of thofe days, as vitally connected with the civil and political interefts of the country ; but they interefted many of them too, on yet more important and ferious accounts, — for a decided fpirit of religion had been diffuled among the higher claffes of fociety, and had taken firm hold of the hearts of not a few leading men in the nation. Independency, in oppofition to the intolerance of the Prefbyteiian party, efpecially commended itfelf to the politicians who were then acquiring the afcendency in Parliament. Baillie, the Prefbyteiian, referring to the Independents, fays, ' Setting afide number, they are in other refpefls of fo eminent a condition, that not any, nor all the reft of the feels are com- parable to them ; for they have been fo wife as to engage to their party fome of chief note in both Houfes of Parliament, in the affembly of divines, in the army, in the city, and country committees, all whom they daily manage with fuch dexterity and diligence, for the benefit of their caufe, that the eyes of the world begin to fall upon them more than upon all their fellows.' But there are better caufes to be afligned for their PAINTINGS. 21 influence than their adroitnefs as tacticians. Mofheim, the hiftorian, no favourer of Independency, fays, ' The rapid progrefs of the Independents was no doubt owing to a variety of caufes, among which juftice obliges us to reckon the learning of their teachers, and the regularity and fanclity of their manners.' Baxter, again, no fpecial friend to Independents, acknow- ledges, ' I law that moft of them were zealous, and very many learned, difcreet, and godly men, and fit to be very ferviceable in the Church ; alfo, I law a commendable care of ferious holinefs and difcipline in moft of the Independent Churches.' " ' The weight of number and influence was in favour of the Prefby- terians. They poffefled an overwhelming majority in the aflembly, the fenate, the city, and the army; the Solemn League and Covenant had enlifted the whole Scottifh nation in their caufe ; and the zeal of the commiffioners from the Kirk, who had alfo feats in the aflembly, gave a new ftimulus to the efforts of their Englifh brethren. The Independents, on the contrary, were few, and could only compenfate the paucity of their number by the energy and talents of their leaders. They never exceeded a dozen in the aflembly ; but thefe were veteran difputants, — eager, fearlefs, and perfevering, — whofe attachment to their favourite doftrines had been riveted by perfecution and exile, and who had not efcaped from the intolerance of one Church to submit tamely to the control of another.' " We may now take a glance at fome of the moft prominent individuals who compofed the aflembly, and its audience, as they are portrayed and grouped by the pencil of Mr. Herbert. " Of our quiet, worthy friend, the prolocutor, occupying the elevated chair, we need fay but little, — though he was much more diftinguiflied than Baillie feems to infinuate. There were few men in higher efteem among all parties, as a divine of learning, piety, candour, and ufefulnefs. The fact is, he was rather too mild for the burning-hot League-and-covenant Scotch- man. He was driven from Newbury, of which he was vicar, by the Cavaliers, or Royalift troops, and died at length in poverty. After the Reftoration, his bones were dug out of their grave, and thrown, together with thofe of many more illuftrious perfons, into a hole in St. Margaret's churchyard. " Oppolite to the prolocutor ftands Philip Nye, the chief fpeaker of the Independent party, — calm, erect, and dignified. He is in the aft of afferting, in the name of his brethren, the great principle of religious liberty, — the right of every man to maintain and teach his religious opinions, be they what they may, without the interference of the magiftrate, fo long as they contain nothing hoftile to the civil government j an avowal which has ftartled from their propriety the Prefbyterian and Epifcopalian members of the aflembly. The fcene is thus alluded to by Baillie, ' The day following 22 PAINTINGS. he did fall on that argument again, and very boldly offered to demonftrate, that one way of drawing a whole kingdom under one national affembly, as formidable, yea, pernicious, and thrice over pernicious to civil ftates and kingdoms. All cried him down, and fome would have had him expelled the affembly, as feditious. We were all highly offended with him. The affembly voted him to have fpoken againft the order. We would not meet with him except to acknowledge his fault. The Independents were relblute not to meet without him ; and he refolute to recall nothing of the fubftance of that he had faid. At laft, we were entreated by our friends to fhuffle it over the beft way might be, and to go on in our bufinefs.' Philip Nye was a warm, bold man, as this narrative implies ; and as he had been very prominent in public affairs, it was debated in the council, after the Reftoration, whether his life fliould be fpared. Having been ejected from St. Bartholomew's, he gathered, in private, a diffenting congregation, and died at the age of feventy-lix, ' leaving,' fays Neale, ' the character of a man of uncommon depth, and of one who was feldom, if ever, out- reached.' " Behind Philip Nye are the reft of the diffenting brethren. There, in the foreground, is William Bridge, of Yarmouth, — an excellent man, a fevere ftudent, and an able theologian. He had fled to Rotterdam, and there became paftor of a Congregational Church in union with Jeremiah Burroughs ; he afterwards returned, and eftablifhed an Independent Church at Yarmouth, where he died at the age of feventy. " Jeremiah Burroughs fits next, — a divine of sanftity, charity, and mode- ration, but firmnefs withal. It was he who flood forward in the affembly and declared, in the name of his brethren, at the clofe of the difcuffions on toleration, ' that if their congregations might not be exempted from the coercive power of the claffes, according to the Prefbyterian difcipline, — if they might not have liberty to govern themfelves in their own way, as long as they behaved peaceably towards the civil magiftrate, they were refolved to suffer, or to go to fome other place of the world, where they might enjoy their liberty. But while,' added he, ' men think there is no way of peace but by forcing all to be of the fame mind, — while they think the civil fword is an ordinance of God to determine all controverfies of divinity, and that it muft needs be attended with fines and imprifonments to the dif- obedient, — while they apprehend there is no medium betwixt a ftrift uni- formity and a general confufion of all things, — while thefe fentiments prevail, there muft be a bafe fubjeftion of men's confciences to flavery, a fuppreflion of much truth, and great difturbances in the Chriftian world.' This enlightened divine, on his return from Holland, became preacher to the two largeft Independent congregations at that time in London ; one of them was the origin of that over which our late lamented friend, Dr. Fletcher, prefided, at Stepney. Mr. Burroughs is laid to have died of a broken heart, on account of the divifions of the times, at the age of forty- lev en. PAINTINGS. 2 Jofeph Caryl was an eminent divine: his ponderous folios on the book of Job atteft his laborious diligence, extenfive learning, and found fcriptural theology. Greenhill, too, was an excellent minifter, the author of a valuable commentary on Ezekiel. But, perhaps, the moft able and diftinguifhed of the difl'enting brethren in the affembly, was Dr. Thomas Goodwin, one of the Ibundeft theologians of his day. He alfo had retired to Holland, and become the paftor of a Congregational Church at Arnhcim. He was one of the moft formidable antagonifts of the Prefbyterians, rather, however, by his writings than in debate. He was made Prefident of Magdalen College, Oxford, in the time of the Protectorate, from which he was ejected at the Reftoration, and became paftor of an Independent congregation in London. His theological works, in five folio volumes, are efteemed of great value. Seated among the Independents, though not ftriftly of their party, is the celebrated Dr. Lightfoot, the moft famous oriental fcholar of the age, and whofe works are ft ill an authoritative text-book in Jewifh literature. " Of the Prefbyterian party, perhaps the wifeft and the beft was Stephen Marfhall, the author of feveral ufeful works, efpecially one c On Sanclifica- tion,' whofe amiable temper and holy life beautifully exemplified the truly Chriftian fpirit of his writings. Mr. Baxter ufed to fay, that if all the bifhops had been of the fpirit of archbifhop Uflier, and all the Independents of the temper of Mr. Burroughs, and all the Prefbyterians like Mr. Marfhall, the divifions of the Church would have been eafily compromifed. He was much confided in by the Parliament, and efteemed by all parties. At his death, he faid to a revered friend, ' I cannot fay I have fo lived that I fliould not be afraid to die : but this I can fay, I have fo learned Chrift that I am not afraid to die. 1 Not far from him is the unfortunate Chriftopher Love, who foon after involved himfelf in trouble by his imprudent zeal for the royal caufe ; for, at the inftance of the Parliament, he was brought to trial, and beheaded on Tower Hill, for holding correfpondence with the king and the Scots, with a view to the overthrow of the parliamentary government, and the reftoration of the kins;. He fuffered with the fortitude of a o;enuine martyr; — his deeply pathetic and admirable letters to his wife, written when under fentence of death, and his lofty- fpirited and impreffive addrefs on the fcaffold, as well as the many excellent works he publifhed, prove him to have been a man of fterling and fervid piety, worthy of a nobler caufe, and far better treatment. Edward Calamy deferves our fpecial notice, as fub- fequently becoming, in a religious point of view, one of the moft confpicuous men of his times. But the moft active and influential of all the Prefbyterians in the affembly was Richard Vines. By his great talents, and indomitable energy, he was fit to be their champion. The Parliament employed him in all their treaties with the king, who always received him with the greateft refpeft. He is faid to have been an admirable fcholar, pious in converfation, 'a fon of thunder' in preaching, and indefatigable in labour, the inceffant feverity of which bi ought him to his grave at the age of fifty-fix. 24 PAINTINGS. " Befides thefe divines, who took the chief part in the difcuflions, there were many others worthy of remembrance, — riling men, who afterwards made a more diftinguifhed figure ; or moderate and modeft men who fell behind the more prominent leaders, and rather, perhaps, gave their opinion in committee, than debated in open aifembly the queftions before them ; men, too, who would have held a middle courfe between that of the rigid Prefbyterians and the decided Congregationalifts — defiring a modified epifco- pacy — and who, therefore, had the ufual lot of middlemen in times of earneft controverfy — that of being liftened to by neither party. The excellent and eloquent Edward Reynolds, afterwards bilhop of Norwich and Vice- chancellor of Oxford ; the devout and charitable Simeon Alhe, Cornelius Burgefs, Obadiah Sedgwick, Hacket, Morley, Gouge, and feveral others whom we muft now pals by, were to be found among lbme or other of thefe clafies. " AfTociated with the divines, there were many noblemen and commoners worthy of note. There was the Earl of EITex, commander-in-chief of the Parliament's army. There was the Earl of Warwick, — a man of unexcep- tional Chriftian character, and great fweetnefs of temper ; a valuable and fteady friend to the perlecuted puritans, and known before and long after his death, as the ' good Earl of Warwick.' There was Mr. Prynne, who had luffered the lofs of his ears for writing againft the ftage ; and Pym, the bold patriot. There was Bulftrode Whitelocke, the judicious counfellor of Cromwell, and the truft-worthy hiftorian of the Commonwealth. There was Sir Harry Vane, of whom, notwithftanding his myfticism, imprudence, and misfortunes, Milton, who knew him, could write, — ' To know Both fpiritual pow'r and civil, what each means, What fevers each' — thou haft leam'd, which few have done : The bounds of either Iword to thee we owe : Therefore, on thy firm hand religion leans In peace, and reckons thee her eldeft fon.' " In addition to thefe, befides the great names of Selden and Sir Matthew Hale, may be mentioned Francis Roufe, Mr. Recorder Glynne, Serjeant Maynard, and others, — men of high parliamentary influence, who likewife had feats in the aifembly. Thefe lay afleflbrs were aflbciated with the divines as a fort of medium of correfpondence between them and the Parliament, as well as to keep an eye on the proceedings of the aifembly, and to affift in the difcuffions, as their peculiar views and knowledge of public affairs might lead, or require them to do. Their afllftance was often of conliderable value. " Among the auditors, as here reprefented to us, are names never to be forgotten. There was the faintly Baxter, the author of one hundred and twenty volumes on almoft every conceivable topic of polemical, metaphyseal, PAINTINGS. 25 and ethical theology, and nearly all of them full of light and heat. And there was Owen, the opponent of Baxter, 'a mafter in Ifrael,' if not equally lubtle, yet more profound than his great contemporary, — the apoftle of Independency, and the ' prince of divines.' And there was the immortal Milton — the author of the ' Paradife Loft.'

Prince Rupert, on the King's right wing, charged up the hill, and carried all before him ; but Lieutenant-General Cromwell charged downhill on the other wing, likewife carrying all before him, and did not gallop off the field to plunder. He, Prince Rupert, on returning from his plunder, finds the King's Infantry a ruin ; prepares to charge again with the rallied Cavalry ; but the Cavalry too, when it came to the point, ' broke all afunder,' never to reafiemble more.

Philip the Second of Spain, in order to conceal his dark defigns againft the protectors of the religion of his rebellious fubjecls in the Low Countries, gave to Egmont the government of Artois and Flanders ; but upon his return to Madrid, the tyrant's real plans became apparent, and he fent his favourite, the infamous Duke of Alva, to Flanders, with inftructions to get rid of Egmont and his friend Count Hoorn. In order to fecure them both, Alva invited them to dinner, under the pretence of wifhing to confult them on public affairs. When they had entered his private room, they were feized and thrown into prifon in Ghent, where they remained during nine months. At the expiration of this time they were carried to BrufTels, under an efcort of ten companies of Spanifh foldiers. Here Alva com- pelled the criminal court to pronounce them guilty of high treafon and rebellion, and to fentence them to be beheaded. The fentence was pronounced on the 4th of June, 1568, without any fubftantial evidence, and was fupported only by the depofitions of their infamous accufers. The fentence was executed the following day, and the patriots fell by the fword of the executioner, on a fcaffold erected in the public fquare of BrufTels.

The Laft Sleep of Argyle. 58 inches by 66 inches. The Painting reprefents the laft fcene but one in the life of Archibald, Earl of Argyle, who took part in that remark- able infurredfion, in 1685, which menaced the throne of James the Second, then newly feated in the place of the Merry Monarch. " King Charles died a member of the Roman Catholic Church, but had refrained from intruding his religion (which was indeed rather in- ftinclive than practical) upon the attention of his fubjects. His brother's faith, and his bigoted and almoft helplefs devotion to it, were matters of notoriety. On his acceflion mafs was openly celebrated in the Palace, and soon afterwards at Weftminfter, and the Coronation Service was mutilated for the fake of removing various matters offenfive to a Catholic. The new King loft no time in convincing the nation that he intended its converfion, lb far as that could be effected by offering every lawful and unlawful advantage to members of his own creed, and by fubjecling the members of every other to wrong and to perl'ecution. It is needlefs to enter into the recital of the leries of outrages to the laws, and cruelties to individuals, with which King James (whofe relics, according to his Church, worked miracles, a few years afterwards, at Chaillot) inaugu- rated his miferable reign. It is enough to lay here, that the wickednefs praelifed, both in England and in Scotland, afforded encouragement to certain individuals, who determined to ftruggle for a deliverance that was deftined to be deferred until the cup of Royal guilt fliould be filled to overflowing. The expedition to England under the unhappy Mon- mouth (an illegitimate fon of Charles the Second), its failure, the military carnage that followed, the agonies of Monmouth, torn from his ftern uncle's knees to the IcafFold, and the horrible cruelties of the Bloody Affize, under Judge Jeffreys, are more familiar to moft readers than the features of the Scottifh attempt in which Argyle bore a part, and for which he died. 11 5° PAINTINGS. "The father of Earl Archibald was put to death, after the Reftoration, for his fhare in the events which conduced Charles the Firft to the window at Whitehall. The fon was allowed to inherit the Earldom, and was at the head of the Campbells. His father's fate, and poffibly his own temperament, dictated to him a certain caution, which he preferved for feveral years, and he even lent his aid to the authorities when the Covenanters took arms againft their perfecutors. But when King James, then Duke of York, came to Scotland a delpot, bent upon defpotically cruftiing all difaffection, Argyle refufed to become his tool, and nearly became his victim. The Duke had him brought to trial for treafon, and fentenced to death, upon grounds — the phrafe is worth note — upon which, laid Lord Halifax to King Charles, 'we mould not hang a dog in England.'' "The Earl, however, effected his efcape, and went to the Continent, where he lived among the numerous refugees whom the tyranny of the times had compelled to fly their country, and where, according to Mr. Macaulay, his predilections for the Synodal form of Church Government deepened into bigotry. His high talents, his fincerity, and his kindnefs to all who fhared his exiled lot, have not been difputed. His pofition, as head of the great Campbell Clan, naturally pointed him out as a leader, in the event of any enterprife in which his companions mould be involved, and when James's enormities feemed to give a fignal to the friends of civil freedom and of liberty of confcience, and the Scottifh expedition was refolved on, the Earl of Argyle was chofen as its com- mander. "Upon the pofTible fuccefs of fuch an attempt, at that time, it is not worth while to fpeculate. Thofe who had engaged in it had already taken care that it fhould not fucceed, for factious jealoufies arofe, the fubordi- nation effential to military enterprife was impoffible, and under a fort of compromife, by which Argyle was to be leader, but under the control of a committee, who were to decide upon all matters fave evolutions in the field, the ill-fated expedition failed from Holland for the Orkneys. But all went wrongly. A folly occafioned the lofs of time at Kirkwall, and the government obtained news of the invafion, and prepared to repel it. Argyle came on to ' his own province,' but found little encouragement except among the humbler clafles ; and even the Crofs of Fire brought but about eighteen hundred men together. But he had an intelligible and a vigorous plan. He would have cleared his own domains, eftablifhed a centre of his power, round which reinforcements would have aflembled, and he could then have rendered that part of Scotland a garrison againft King James. But the jealoufy of his colleagues prevailed. They feared, or affected to fear, that his views were dictated by peribnal ambition, and they compelled him to divide his army, and send on a portion of it to affail the Lowlands. PAINTINGS. " The fortunes of war were all againft the adventurers, and the animofi- ties in their camp, partly perfonal, partly the refult of fanaticifm, enfured the deftruction of their hopes. After various difafters, Argyle refolved to march upon Glalgow. He was oppofed by his refractory companions, but he carried his point, and fought his way onwards. But after crofting the Leven, he found himfelf confronted by a powerful and dilciplined force, to encounter which would have been madnefs. The gallant Argyle, how- ever, propofed a night attack, in the fpirit of Edward Bruce, when he made his chivalrous offer to his brother, — ' Or wilt thou rather that we moor, And rufh upon yon martial power, With war-cry wake their waftail hour, And die with hand on hilt ! ' But this courageous courfe was rejected, and all that remained was to fave the expeditionary army by a retreat. This, made under cover of the night, was even more unfortunate than any previous incident of the attempt, and was characterifed by blunders and panics, and by the fcattering and ruin of Argyle's force. He himfelf, having done all that a foldier could do, endeavoured to efcape, and in a peafant's drefs journeyed as the guide of Major Fullarton. They went through Renfrewshire, intending to crofs the Clyde, but at Inchinnan fufpicion was roufed, and Argyle, defpite a fpirited attempt to efcape, was ftruck down and made prifoner. The declaration of his rank excited fympathy, but Government had large rewards and heavy vengeance in its power, and his captors decided on conveying him to Renfrew. " The reft is the ftory of a martyr's death. He was taken to Edin- burgh, treated with every infolence, and compelled to walk, bareheaded, from Holyrood Houfe to the Caftle, the executioner bearing his quartering knife before him. Claverhoufe commanded the troops ordered out on the occafion. At the Caftle the Earl was put into irons, and told to prepare for death. No trial was deemed neceflary, for a fentence which already exifted againft him — that under which Lord Halifax had declared we (hould not hang a dog in England — was held valid enough for the killing the Mac Cullom More. " He was interrogated by order of the Privy Council, but, as may eafily be furmifed, he anl'weied to nothing that could elicit a reply injurious to his friends. King James fent down orders which were underftood to mean that the torture was to be applied to the gallant nobleman, and fo they were interpreted to him. ' Yet I hope that God /hall fupport me,' is his remark, in mentioning the threat. But this outrage was fpared him. He made eager attempts to treat for the fafety of his poor clanfmen. One PAINTINGS. recals the ufe which the greateft of Novelifts would feem to have made of this touching characteriftic, in the conclufion of ' Waverley,' where the Highland Chief, all thought for himfelf forgotten, makes earneft appeal for his faithful followers. "The Earl's Chriftian character nobly aflerted itfelf during his laft hours. His intenfe earneftnefs of adherence to his own peculiar creed remained, but all that was fierce and intolerant feemed purified away. He wrote his own epitaph, and fome vindicatory papers, but defired to qualify expreffions which he had ufed and in which he thought afterwards he might have l'poken too leverely of thofe whofe folly and factioulhefs had brought him to the grave. And he propheiied the triumph of a caufe which was ' the caufe of God.' " ' Religious faith and hope,' writes Mr. Macaulay (and we now intro- duce the (Inking paffage which fuggefted Mr. Ward's picture), ' co-operat- ing with natural courage and equanimity, had lb effectually compofed his fpirits, that on the very day in which he was to die he dined with appetite, converfed with gaiety at table, and after his laft meal lay down, as he was wont, to take a fliort flumber, in order that his body and mind might be in full vigour when he fhould mount the fcaffbld. At this time one of the Lords of the Council, who had probably been bred a Prefbyterian, and had been feduced by intereft to join in opprefling the church of which he had once been a member, came to the Caftle with a meflage from his brethren, and demanded admittance to the Earl. It was anfwered that the Earl was afleep. The Privy Counfellor thought this was a fubterfuge, and infilled on entering. The door of the cell was foftly opened, and there lay Argyle on his bed, fleeping, in his irons, the placid fleep of infancy. The confidence of the renegade fmote him. He turned away fick at heart, ran out of the Caftle, and took refuge in the dwelling of a lady of his family who lived hard by. There he gave himfelf up to an agony of remorfe and fliame. ****** " I have been in Argyle's prifon. I have feen him within an hour of eternity, fleeping as fweetly as ever man did. But as for me, " Such is the fcene which Mr. Ward's pencil has delineated. The ftern vault of the dungeon, the fettered captive, within an hour of eternity, in his calm fleep, with the Word of Life by his fide ; the jailor fhrinking from difturbing the repole upon which the lordly renegade is gazing, humiliated and remorfeful — thefe are the components of the noble picture before us. It is too late to fpeak of the artiftic merits of a work which, inftantly on its exhibition, obtained the ungrudged applaufe of brother artifts, and of the judges of Art, and obtained the favour of the public. ' A grand fubjecl, grandly treated,' was the fentence on all fides. The feleftion of fuch a theme is efpecially happy. The character of Argyle combines the chivalry PAINTINGS. 53 of the foldier with the devotion of the martyr, and the fentiments, in union, can never appeal in vain even to fympathies not ealily aroufed by mere foldier deeds or mere devotional zeal. Dying in a gallant effort to anticipate the bright days that were coming, Argyle muft ever take rank among the pioneers of freedom. Could aught have added a happinefs to his dying hour, it would have been the knowledge that the deliverance was fo near at hand, that the tyrant who, following up his vengeance, ravaged Argylefhire for thirty miles round Inverary, tranfported or mutilated the wretched peafants, and branded their wives and daughters with hot irons, would in three years be a fugitive, anathematifing thole who could endure his tyranny no longer. The picture is as pregnant with fuggeftion as remarkable for beauty." Review of Mr. Ward's Piciure by Shirley Brooks, Efq. 54 PAINTINGS. No. 128. M. WARD, R.A. 1857. The Laft Scene in the Life of Montrofe. 58 inches by 66 inches. " He died As one that had been ftudied in his death To throw away the deareft thing he owed As 'twere a carelefs trifle.'' — Shakspere. "Early on the morning of Tuefday, May 21ft, 1650, James Graham, Marquis of Montrofe, was awakened by the drums and trumpets calling the troops to arms, to attend at his execution. 'Alas!' faid he, 'I have given thefe good folks fo much trouble while alive, and now do I continue to be a terror to them on the day I am going to die ! ' He then proceeded with the utmoft compofure to prepare himfelf for the laft fad aft in life's drama. While combing his long curled hair, of which he was moft careful, Johnfton of Warrifton, a gloomy fanatic, intruded himfelf on the noble prilbner, and perceiving how he was employed, rudely alked, ' Why is James Graham fo careful of his locks ? ' Montrofe replied, with a fmile, ' I will arrange my head as I pleale, to-day, while it is ftill my own ; to-morrow it will be yours, when you may deal with it as you pleale.' "The page in Lord Mahon's ' Hiftorical Efiays' which fuggefted to Mr. Ward the fubject for his great picture is the belt defcription of the tragic fcene which his pencil has lb powerfully realifed. " 'All preparations being now complete, and the guards in attendance, Montrofe walked on foot from the prifon in Edinburgh to the Grafs Market, the common place of execution for the meaneft malefactors, in the midft of which arofe, confpicuous from afar, the difmal gallows, thirty feet high, and covered with black cloth. We have been gazing at the fpot on the very day on which we write thefe lines, and but few of its prominent objects feem altered fince there fell upon them the laft look of Montrofe. Scarce one new edifice — nay, fcarce even a trace of modern architecture, breaks their gloom. There are ftill the fame antique houfes of dark mafly ftone, with their manifold rows of windows and their gable PAINTINGS. 55 roofs, yonder ft 111 towers the old caltle on its beetling precipice, yonder the lame low portals open to the clofes and nuynds. Montrofe, as proud of the caufe in which he was to fuffer, had clad himfelf in rich attire, "more becoming a bridegroom," fays one of his enemies, " than a criminal going to the gallows!" As he walked along and beheld the inftrument of his doom, his ftep was not feen to falter, nor his eye to quail ; to the lalt he bore himfelf with fuch (lead tall courage, fuch calm dignity, as have been feldom equalled and never furpaffed. At the foot of the Icaffold a further and parting infult was referved for him. The executioner brought Dr. Wifhart's narrative of his exploits, and his own Manifefto, to hang around his neck; but Montrofe himfelf aflifted in binding them, and, l'miling at this new token of his enemies' malice, merely laid, " I did not feel more honoured when his Majefty fent me the Garter ! ' " " Mr. Ward has chofen this moment for portraying the grandeft, as it was the molt folemn and imprefiive incident in the life of ' The Great Marquis,' whom he reprefents ltanding on a rudely-conftru&ed platform, at the foot of the black difmal gallows, on which in a few moments he will expiate his errors, and immortalife his noble deeds, by an ignominious death. Confpicuous by his rich cavalier coftume, his compoled and stately bearing, the ferenity of his features, and the calm, but melancholy exprefTion of his full open eye, the figure of the noble victim nearly in the centre of the picture, irrefiftibly fixes our attention and fympathy. On his left, the favage-looking, fhaggy-haired executioner, is engaged tying Dr. Wifhart's book round his neck, and on his right, an old Covenanter in a black gown, molt probably one of the city magiftrates, holds the ' Manifefto,' which Montrofe ilTued, in the name of his ungrateful mailer, Charles II., on his landing. Thefe three figures, which form the principal group in the picture, have been finely-imagined and painted with great force of exprefTion and colour ; indeed, had there been nothing befides, they would fuffice to tell the fad tale. But the genius of Mr. Ward has filled his canvas with feveral important acceffbries, which give an increafed intereft to the main incident, and a dramatic character to the whole fcene, without facrificing or diftorting one tittle of hiftorical fact. Oppofed to the group we have defcribed, we have on the left hand a fecondary group, of which the two prominent figures are a ftout Parliamentary foldier, in buff and fteel, and a fallow-faced Puritan minifter, in Geneva gown and band and fleeple-crowned hat, — perfect types of the military defpotifm and religious fanaticilm by which the dominant party was at that time actuated. The figure of the foldier is full of character ; we can read inflexible deter- mination in his attitude and his features, which in their maffive breadth are ftrongly contrafted with the gaunt preacher, who, clafping the Bible to his brealt, — in which no fpark of Chriltian charity dwells, — watches with gloomy fatisfaction the final aft of the tragedy. Overlooking the fcene from a turreted portion of the Market Crofs, the painter has effectively introduced fome figures : — the malked gentleman and lady are luppofed to reprefent the young Marquis and Marchionefs of Lome. Tradition alio 56 PAINTINGS. fays, — though fome doubt has been caft upon the ftatement, — that Argyle himfelf witneffed his feudal enemy's laft moments, and even watched the blows of the executioner's axe, while he fevered the head from the body. " An affecting epifode, which gives a fad and homely truthfulnefs to the fcene, is the introduction in the foreground of the grey-haired Highlander, with the young female, — his daughter we may fuppofe, — who have forced their way to the foot of the gallows, in fpite of the halbertof thefoldier, who attempts to drive them back. The old man has lifted his bonnet in which he proudly wears a fingle leaf of laurel, the laft tribute of human glory, and waves it exultingly towards his beloved chieftain, upon whom his upward gaze is turned with intenfe and undying affection. The terrified girl, who hides her head in the old man's bofom, — who is (he ? We know not ; — but from the clofe fhrouding plaid, a pale, marvelloufly beautiful face and a pair of tender blue eyes, gleam upon us like the moon, half hidden behind a cloud, and feem to tell of more than common grief. We prefer indeed being left in ignorance upon a point which fuggefts a moll romantic and pathetic ftory. The general tone of the work is fuitable to the tragic fcene it illuftrates. The fombre fhadow of the black draped fcaffold, and the grim antique buildings of the old town of Edinburgh, amongft which the church of St. Giles is eafily diftinguilhed, form a fine background to this noble picture, which is deftined to take a permanent place amongft the honoured works of Englilh Hiftorical Art."

Intenfity of repofe is the great aim throughout, and the unity of tone of the picture is one of the fineff. things that Turner has ever done. But there is not only quietnefs, there is the very deepeft folemnity in the whole of the light, as well as in the ftillnefs of the veflels ; and Turner wifhes to enhance this feeling by reprefenting not only repofe, but power in repofe, the emblem, in the fea, of the quiet mips of war. Accordingly he takes the greateft poffible pains to get his furface polifhed, calm, and fmooth ; but he indicates the reflections of a buoy, floating full a quarter of a mile off, by three black ftrokes, with wide intervals between them, the laft of which touches the water within twenty yards of the fpectator. " Now, thefe three reflections can only indicate the farther fides of the three rifes of an enormous fwell, and give by thefe intervals of feparation a fpace of from twelve to twenty yards for the breadth of each wave, including the fweeps between them ; and this fwell is farther indicated by the reflection of the new moon falling in a wide zigzag line. " The exceeding majefty which this fmgle circumftance gives to the whole picture, the fublime fenfation of power and know- ledge of former afcertion which we inftantly receive from it, if we have but acquaintance with nature enough to underftand its language, render this work not only a piece of the moft refined truth (as which I have at prefent named it), but, to my mind, one of the higheft pieces of intellectual art exifting."
