Dr Burney remarks in his " History of Music," that her moderate abilities and more feeble voice were advantages to Rauzaini, thou-h none to the public. " She was a native of Germany, young, and by many thought handsome. Her figure was elegant and graceful on the sta.^e, and she was a good actress. Off the stage, however, she was coquettish, silly, and insipid. Her voice was a mere thread, for the weakness of which there was neither taste nor knowledge to compensate." The original picture is in the collection of Eari Amherst, at Knole. It was exhibited at the British Institution in 1843. PRINTS, U. U. PROOFS, \l. lis. M. AETISTS' PROOFS, 2i. 2s.

Samuel Heynolila, was the Master of the Free Grammar School in that town, where Sir Joshua received his education. Having at an early age shown a strong predeliction for painting, he was, on leaving school, placed as a pupil with the fashionable portrait-painter, Thomas Hudson. With him he remained three years, and then returned to Devonshire imtil ]741>, when he set out on liis continental travels. Upon his return in 1752, he settled in London, and shortly afterwards distmguishwl himself by a portrait of his friend Admiral Lord Keppel. From this period he rapidly rose to the zenith of the fame which he retained to the close of his life. Upon the foundation of the Eoyal Academy in 1768, he was unanimously chosen President, having been previously one of the Directors of the Society of Artists, aud on this occasion received the honour of Kniglithood. In 1773 he was elected Mayor of Plympton, nii honour that he declared gave him more pleasure than any other he received during his life.

Tlie original picture wag painted in 1780, for Horace Walpole, Earl of Orford, who remarks concerning it, " Sir Joshua gets avaricious in his old age ; my picture of the yonng Ladies Waldegrave is doubtless very fine and graceful, but it cost me eight hundred guineas." He also says, in a letter tu the Rev. William Mason, dated May 28th, 1780, " Sir Joshua begun a charming picture of my three fair nieces, the Waldegraves, and very like. They are embroidering and winding silk ; I rather wished to have them drawn like the Graces adorning ii bust of the Duchess as the Magna Mater; but my ideas are not adopted." And, in another letter to the same person, under date of February 10th, 1783, "Though the effect of the whole is charming, the detaila arc slovenly, the faces only red and white; and his journeyman, as if to distin^juish himself, has finished the lock and key of the table like a Dutch fluwer-ji;! inter." This magnificent picture was purchased at the Strawberry Hill sale, in 1842, by Earl Waldegrave for five hundred and fifty guineas, and, together with the table represented in it, is now in the possession of Frances, Countess AValdegrave, at StnLwberry Hill.

This eminent naval officer was the second son of William Anne, second Earl of Albemarle, K.G., K.B., by Lady Anne Lennox, second daughter of Charles, first Duke of Richmond, K.G. At the early age of ten he left Westminster School to enter the naval service, and was with Commodore Anson in the South Seas. Having distinguished himself by his courage and conduct on various occasions, he was fixed upon, after tlie rupture with France in 1755, to conduct the second expedition against the island of Goree, on the western coast of Africa, which surrendered to him on the day after his arrival in December, 1758.

The city of Havannab suvrcndered on the 13th uf August, 1702, and in November of that year Commodore Keppel was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral. In July, 1765, he was appointed one of the Lords of the Admiralty, which oflSce he retained till December, 1766. On the outbreak of the War of Independence in America, France openly countenanced the rebellion, and great naval preparations were accordingly made both by that power and by Great Britain. The command of the English fleet was given to Admiral Keppel, who, on July 27tb, 1778, came up with that of France; an engagement ensued o£f Ushant, in which the enemy found themselves at so great a disadvantage that they retreated during the night into Brest harbour. The result of this was that a charge of misconduct and neglect of duty was preferred against him by Vice-Admiral Sir Hugh Palliser. He was tried by a court-martial at Portsmouth in January and February, 1779, which terminated after thirty-one days' trial in a full and honourable acquittal, and the thanks of both Houses of Parliament were voted to him. At the general election in 1780 he was returned to Parliament for the county of Surrey, having previously re;iresentcd the boroughs of Chichester and Windsor. In March, 1782, he was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty, and sworn of the Viivj Council.

She was born November I3th, 1785, and married on the 3rd of June, 1805, the Hon. William Lamb, afterwards Viscoimt Melbourne and First Lord of the Treasury, eldest son of Peniston, first Viscount Melbourne.

SIR JOHN EARDLEY WILMOT, i;HIEF justice of the court of COILMON PLEAS. Chief Justice Wilmot was the second son of Robert Wilmot, Esq., a Derbyshire gentleman, by Miss Murrow, daughter and co-heiresa of Sir Samuel Murrow, Bart. He was born on the I6th of August, 1709, and after having received the rudiments of his education at a school in Derby, he was sent to the free school at Lichfield, where he was a schoolfellow of Dr. Johnson, as well as of David Garrick. He was afterwards removed to Westminster school, and from thence to Trinity Hall, Cambridge, at both which places he devoted himself EiBsiduously to his studies. An ardent desire to enter the Church was overruled by his father, who had formed a just estimate of his talents, and who insisted upon his adopting the profession of the Law. In 1732 he was called to the bar at the Inner Temple, and for ten years studiously endeavoured to avoid display and escape notice. His great learning and powerful advocacy at last, however, brought him into notice, in spite of all his efibrts to the contrary. He was in 1742 appointed "Treasury Devil," and in recognition of his important services to the Government, was offered a adk gown, the rank of King's Serjeant, and a seat in parliament, all of which he refused. In 1754 he resolved to leave Westminster Hall and settle as a provincial counsel in his native county, thus avoiding all solicitations to accept promotion, and in April of this yearmarried Sarah, daughter of Thomas Kivett, Esq., of Derby. A year had not however elapsed before he unexpectedly received the appointment of a Justice nf the Court of King's Bench. This, after some hesitation, he was induced to accept, and in HUary term, 1755, he was knighted and took bis seat on the bench. In November, 1756, be was appointed a Commissioner of the Great Seal, and by this much alarmed lest the office of Lord Chancellor should be offered to him. He escaped, but in August, 1766, was named to succeed Lord Camden as Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, This office he reluctantly accepted, and in January, 1770, was offered the Great Seal with whatever peerage, pension, and reversion he might desire, but he was immoveable, and was equally BO upon a renewal of the offer a year afterwards. He then resolved to resign his office of Chief Justice, in order to avoid all further soUcitation, and in January, 1771, carried his resolution into effect, and by the special intervention of the King, was prevailed on to accept a pension. He survived above twenty years, during which period he occupied his time by hearing appeals in the Pri\7 Council, and in superintending the education of his children. He died on the 5th of February, 1792, and was interred in the parish church of Berkswell, in Warwickshire, where there is a monument to his memory. Lord Campbell writes thus of his character as a Judge : " Although Sir Eardly Wilmot never shone as an orator, a statesman, or an author, he is to be placed in a very high rank in the order of Judges. Beyond the common qualities of patience and purity, he had an extraordinary store of juridical knowledge, he saw with celerity the questions of law upon which the decision of each case depended, and he disposed of these not only with perfect accuracy, but with wonderful copiousness of illustration," TIte original painting is in the possession of Sir John Eardley Eardley- Wilmot, Bart., of Twickenham.

SIR WILLIAM CHAMBERS, R.A., ARCHITECT. Descended from an old Scotch family, this distinguished architect was born at Stockholm in 1726. At the age of two years he was brought to England, and educated at Ripon in Yorkshire. After leaving school he made a voyage to China in the service of the Swedish East India Company, on bis return from which he commenced at eighteen years of age the study of architecture. Upon his return from his professional studies in Italy, he was, ou the recommendation of Lord Bute, appointed drawing-master to the Prince of Wales, upon whose accession to the throne as George the Third he was commissioned to lay out the gardens of Kew Palace. Tlie " Plans, Elevations, Sections, and Perspective Views of the Gardens and Buildings at Kew" were published in folio in 1763. In the execution of these he showed a strong predehction for the Chinese style, upon which he published in 1757 a folio volume, entitled, " Designs of Chinese Buildings, &c.," and in 1772 a " Dissertation on Oriental Gardening." This latter work exposed its author to a severe attack in the " Heroic Epistle to Sir William Chambers," a satire ascribed to the poet Mason. The first work of importance by which he became known was an Italian villa built for the Earl of Bessborough at Roehampton. He was one of the founders of the Royal Academy of Arts, and was in 1771 created a Knight of the Swedish order of the Polar Star, and allowed to use his title in this country. As Surveyor-Genera! of His Majesty's Works he furnished the designs for tlie rebuilding of Somerset House, his greatest and best work, and one that places biui in the first rank of architects. Among his other works may be mentioned the Observatory at Richmond, Duddingstonc House, near Edinburgh, the seat of the Marquess of Abercom, and Milton Abbey, in Dorsetshire, erected in the gothic style for Lord Dorchester. He also wrote a "Treatise on Civil Architecture," an accurate and most valuable work, first published in 1759, which has passed through several editions. Sir William Chambers died ou the 8th of March, 1796, and was interred in Westminster Abbey. The original picturL- is in tfie collection of the Royal Academy of Arts, and was exhibited at the Art Treasures Exhibition at Manchester in 1857.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE FREDERICK HOWARD, FIFTH EARL OF CARLISLE, K.G., AND GEORGE AUGUSTUS SELWYN, ESQ. Frederick Howard, fifth Earl of Carlisle, was the eldest son of Henry, fourth Earl of Carlisle, by his second wife, the Honourable Isabella Byron, younger daughter of William, fourth Lord Byron. He waa born May 28th, 1748, and was educated at Eton .College and King's College, Cambridge. He succeeded to the Earldom whUe yet a minor, on the 4th of September, 1758, and in 1768 waa elccteda Knight of the Order of the Thistle, althongh not a peer of Scotland ; hut this he resigned upon his election as a Knight of the Garter in 1793. After devoting himself for a few years to fashionable fife, he exchanged it for a political career, and waa in 1777 sworn of the Privy Council and made Treasurer of the Household. In 1778 he was selected as one of the Commissioners to treat, consult, and agree upon the means of quieting the disaffected North American colonies, an endeavour at reconciliation that proved of no avail. In November, 1779, he was nominated a Lord of Trade, and in 1780 Lord- Lieutenant of the East Biding of Yorkshire. Upon the resignation of the Earl of Buckinghamshire, Lord Carlisle was appointed in December, 1780, Lord-Lientenant of Ireland, which office he retained until the fall of Lord North's Administration in March, 1782. In the May following, he became Lord Steward of the Household, and in April, 1 783, was advanced to the office of Lord Privy Seal, which he held hut a few months. His Lordship married, March 22nd, 1770, the Lady Margaret Caroline Leveson-Grower, second daughter of Granville, first Marquess of Stafford, K.G., by whom he had issue four sons and six daughters. Lord Carlisle died at his seat, Castle Howard, Yorkshire, September 4th, 1825, and was succeeded by his eldest eon. ■ The splendid collection of pictures, sculpture, antiques, and medals in the Museum at Castle Howard, bear witness to this accomplished nobleman's love of art. His tragedies and poems, a collected edition of which was published in 1801, have also gained for him some reputation as a poet. The principal of his tragedies are " The Father's Bevenge" and " The Step-Mother." George Augdstl-s Selwyn, Esq., was the second son of Colonel John Selwyn, of Matson, in the county of Gloucester, by Mary, daughter of General Farriugton. He was horn on the 11th of August, 1719, and was educated at Eton College and Hertford College, Oxford. Before he had attained his majority he was appointed Clerk of the Irons and Surveyor of the Meltings at the Mint, offices usually performed by deputy. He also held at a later j)criod the lucrative appointment of Paymaster of the Works, an office which was abolished in 1782, when Selwyn was made Surveyor-General of the Works, In 1747 he entered Parliament as member for the city of Gloucester, which he afterwards exchanged for the family borough of Ludgershall; and in 1751 succeeded to the family property upon the death of his father. He early obtained an important position in society, as well on account of his political influence, as of his brilliant wit and highly educated taste. Tu tiiese qualities were added a passionate fondness for children, and a strange taste for witnessing criminal executions. He died at his residence in Cleveland Row, St. James's, on the 25th of January, 1791, in bis seventy-second year. By his wQI be bequeathed a large amount to his adopted daughter, Maria Fagniani, who is believed to have been the daughter either of George Selwyn or the Duke of Queensberry, who also bequeathed her a large fortune.

Admiral the Right Ho»:onBABLE Augustus Kbppel, Viscount Keppel, was the second son of William Anne, second Earl of Albemarle, K.G., K.B., by Lady Anne Lennox, second daughter of Charles, first Duke of Richmond, K.G. At the early age of ten he left Westminster School to enter the naval service, and served under Comraodore Anson in the South Seas. Having distinguished himself by his courage and conduct on various occasions, he was selected, after the rupture with France in 1750, to conduct the second expedition against the island of Goree, on the western coast of Africa, which surrendered to him on the day after his arrival in December, 1758. In the j'car following he was employed in the Bay of Biscay, under Sir Edward Hawke, and with him defeated the French fleet off Belleisle on the 20th of November, 1759. In 1761 he was appointed to the command of the squadron sent to assist in the conquest of Belleisle, to the success of which he materially contributed by his prudence and bravery. After this he was nominated to act as a Commodore under Sir George Pococke in the expedition against Havannah, where he also rendered essential service. The city of Havannah surrendered ou the 13th of August, 1762, and in November of that year Commodore Keppel was promoted to the rank of Rear -Admiral. From July, 1765, to December, 1766, he was one of the Lords of the Admiralty, and in October, 1770, was promoted to the rank of Viee-AdmLral, and further in January, 1778, to that of Admiral. On the outbreak of the War of Independence in Amtrica, France openly countenanced the rebellion, and great naval preparations were accordingly made both by that power and by Great Britain. The command of the English fleet was given to Admiral Keppel, who, on July 27th, 1778, came np with that of France ; an engagement ensued ofi' tjshant, in which the enemy found themselves so much at a disadvantage that they retreated during the night into Brest harbour. The result of this was that a charge of misconduct and neglect of duty was preferred against him by Viee-Adrairal Sir Hugh Palliser. H*- was tried by a court-martial at Portsmouth in January am! February, 1779, which terminated at the end of thirty-one days in a full and honourable acquittal, and the thanks of both Houses of Parliament were voted to him. At the general election in 1780 he was returnetl to Parliament for the county of Surrey, having previously represented the boroughs of Chichester and Windsor. In March, 1782, he was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty, and sworn of the Privy Council. His great professional services were further rewarded by his elevation to the peerage on the 22nd of April, 1782, as Viscount Koppid. In January, 1783, he resigned his post as First Lord of the Admiralty, but was again placed at the head of that board from April to December in the same year.

Caylus, Governor of Martinique, to evacuate and deliver up to him the islands of St. Lucia, Martinique, St. Vincent, and Tobago. These orders the Grovernor refused to comply with, and Captain Holburne was obliged to withdraw, not having a sufficient force at his command, or indeed the authority to enforce them. On the 5th of February, 1755, he was advanced to the rani; of Rear- Admiral, and waa soon after appointed to command a squadi'on ordered to America to re-inforce Admiral Boscawen.

This distinguished writer, the son of Michael Johnson, a bookseller of Lichfield, and Sarnli Ford, his wife, was born in that city on the 18th of September, 1709. His education was commenced at a dame's school in Lichfield, from whence he was removed to the Grammar- school of that city, and subsequently to that of Stourbridge. Having completed his nineteenth year, he was entered a commoner of Pembroke College, Oxford, in October, 1728, of which he continued a member for three years, and gained ranch reputation for his loarning. In December, 1731, his fiithcr died, and the son soon after accepted the office of usher in a school at Market-Bos worth, in order to gain a decent livelihood. Tlic driid,i;i.Ty of tliis I'liipldyiiieiit: proved so irksome to him, that he relinquished it after a few months and went to Bir- mingham, where he prodaccd Iiis first publialied work, an abridged translation from the French of Father Lobo's Voyage to Abyssinia, which appeared in 1T3.J. In the year 1 i3(j, on the ifth of July, he married Mrs. Elizabeth Porter, the widow of a mercer in Birmingham, who was more than twenty years older than himself. He then decided to open a school at Edial, near Lichfield, but as he obtained only three pupils, this sclierae soon failed, and he set out for London accompanied by his pupil Garrick. Henceforth literature was his profession and only means of support. Essays, reviews, biographical memoirs, pamphlets and prefaces, flowed in rapid succession from his pen. In March, 1738, began his connexion with the Gentleman's Magazine, which continued until the death of his patron Edward Cave in 1754. He also publishetl lu 1738, " London," a poem in imitation of the third Satire of Juvenal, and this was followed in 1744 by his " Life of Richard Savage," an admirable memoir that added mueh to his reputation. The " Vanity of Human Wishes " appeared in 1749, and in the following year was commenced the "Rambler." This series was continued until March, 1752, in which month he had the misfortune to lose his wife, whose death caused him extreme grief. In 1755, he published hia great work, the "Dictionary of the English Language," upon which he had been engaged for eight years. The "Idler" was begun in 1758, and continued for two years. In 1759 Johnson lost his mother, and in that year wrote his tale of " Rasselas " to defray the expenses of her funeral, and a few debts she left unpaid: for it he received one hundred pounds. Three years later, he was granted by George tlie Third a pension of £300 a year, which at once raised him from the penury in which he had hitherto lived. In 1765, the degi'cc of LL.D. was conferred upon him by the University of Dubhn, but lie did not assume the title until ten years later, when he received the degree of D.C.L. from the University of Oxford. It was also in this year that be was introduced to Mr. and Jlrs. Thrale, who soon became hia most intimate friends. Hia last work of importance was the "Lives of the English Poets," upon which he was engaged from 1777 to 1781. From this time hifl health began rapidly to fail, and he lost some of his greatest friends by death. Dr. Johnson died at his house in Bolt Court, Fleet Street, on the 13th of December, 1784, aged seventy-five. His remains were interred in Poets' Comer, Westminster Abbey, and a monument erected to his memory. He has likewise been honoured with statues in St Paul's Cathedral, and in his native city.

He also became Hereditary Lord High Constable of Scotland, in which capacity he officiated at the coronation of George the Third in 1761, and accidentally neglecting to poll ofl' his cap when the Kiug entered; he apologized for his negligence in the most respectful manner ; but his Majesty, with great complacency entreated him to be covered, for he looked on his presence at the solemnity as a very particular honour. ■' One there was," writes Horace Walpole, " the noblest figure I ever saw. the High Constable of Scotland, Lord Errol. At the wedding, dressed in tissue, he looked like one of the Giants in Gnildirall, new gilt."

He was first elected to the English House of Commons in January, 1790, as member for East Looe, but at the general election in the same year he was returned for Stamford, and represented tliat borough until his elevation to the British peerage, as Baron Carysfort, January 21st, 1801. He was in July, 1801), appointed Envoy Eitraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Berlin, and held that post until October, 1802. In February, 1806, he was nominated Joint Postmaster-General, but resigned upon the fall of the administration of "All the Talents" in March, 1807. Lord Cao'sfort did not, however, confine his atlention to politics, but devoted much time to the cultivation of poetry, science, and classical and modern literature. He was the author of two volumes of " Dramatic and Narrative Poems " of considerable merit, published in 1810, and of an "Essay on the proper temper of the Mind towards God," privately printed in 1817 for the use of his children.

The original painting, executed in 1765, is iu the possession of the Earl of Carysfori, and lias never before been engraved. MISS KITTY FISHER. Catharine Maria Fishek, or Fischer, as more correctly written by Sir Josliua Ecyuolds, was the daughter of a German stnymaker, and in one of the satires upon her ia said to have herself been a milliner. She was one of the most celebrated courtezans of her time, and was a formidable rival of Nelly O'Brien. Eoth were often painted by Sir Joshua. Indeed, tlieir names occur bo frequently in his diaries as sitters, that it has been coujectured that they sometimes sat to him iis models for his fancy subjects. Kitty Fishw sat to him for the first time in April, 1759, and for the last time in 1767, after her marriage. Sir Joshua probably made her acquaintance when she was living under the protection of his friend Captain Iveppel. She was then about eighteen years of age. Her great Loaiity !uid f iiscinating manners soon attracted a crowd of admirers, among whom were Lord Ligonlcr and many others of the nobility. Thi- r, l.-li ■., ■'■ ■ v.- down niioii lier numerous satires, such as "Kitty's Stream: or, the Noblemen turned Fishermen," and "Horse and away |.. -. i 'mk, or, aTripfortlic Nooutide Air. Who rides fastest, Miss Kitty Fisher, or her gay Gallant." Like her frail sisters of liiu |.c. .-lI]1 Jay, she was one of the noted equestrians of the parks, and to this accomplislimeut she added a brilliant store of wit and anecdote, and moreover spoke French with great flueney. In 1759 appeared a work in two small volumes, printed at Loudon, professing to be the "Juvenile Adventures of Miss Kitty Fisher," but indignantly repudiated by lier iu the following advertisement inserted in the " Pnblic Advertiser " for March 37th of that year. " To err, is a blemish iutailed upon mortality, and indiscretions seldom or never escape from censure ; the more heavy, as the character is more remarkable ; and doubled, nay trebled by the world, if the progress of that character is marked by success ; then malice shoots against it all her stings, the snakes of envy are let loose ; to the humane and generous heart then must the injured appeal, and L'ertain relief will be found in impartial honour. Miss Fisher is forced to sue to that jurisdiction to protect her from the baseness of little scribblers nnd scurvy malevolence; she has been abused in public papers, exposed iu print-shops, and to wind up the whole, some wretches mean, ignoraat, and venal, would impose upon the public, by daring to pretend to publish her Memoirs. She hopes to prevent the success of their endeavours, by thus publickly declaring that nothing of that sort has the slightest fouudafi™ in truth. C. Fibheb." Kitty Fisher married, November 0th, 1766, as his second wife, John Norris, Ks'j. , of IJemsted Manor, io the parish of Benenden, Kent, who was M.P. for Hyc from 1762 to 1774. She was greatly beloved by tlie villaL,'e poor, and had she not been prematurely cut ofi' by sraall-pox, would by her good sense and prudence have ere long restored the shattered fortune of her husband, over whom she exerted the most beneficial influence. Mrs. Norris died at Henisted Manor on the 10th of March, 1707, at about tweuty-six years of age, and was buried in the family vault in the chancel of Benenden Church. This piirtrail, fnnii an unriiiiflied sketch In oil in the possession of the Earl of Carysfort, is the most beautiful of Kitty Fisher that exists. It has never jircviousiy been engraved. MISS MARY HORNECK. Miss Maiiv ilunNECK, the " Jessamy Bride" who exerted strange fascination over .Goldsmith, was the younger daughter of CaiHain Kane William ILuiieck, of the Royal Engineers. She -was born in the year 1752, and was left an orphan at an early age by the ilecease uf her father. In 1770, logether with her mother and eMer sister Catharine, called "Little Comedy," and who afterwards became the wife of Henry William Bunbury, the eminent caricaturist, she accompanied Goldsmith on a tour in France. Miss Horneck married, about 177!), Colonel Francis Edward Gwyn, Equerry to King George the Third, and was herself appointed in 1812 one of the Bedcliauiber 'Wunien to Queen Charlotte, which office she retained until the Queen's death in 1818. General Gwyn died (111 the i;itli i.f Jiiiiiiaiy, IS21. llr^^. Gwyn died at her residence in Bortman Street, London, on the 14th of Januarj-, 1840, within a few days of the completion of her eighty-eighth year, and was buried at Weybridge. The original picture, representing her seated on the ground in Turkish fashion, and wearing a turban, was painted in 1766, and is in the possession of Sir Charles James Fox Bunbury, Bart. It was exhibited in the National Portrait Exhibition of 1867. WILLIAM STRAHAN, ESQ., M.P. Mn. William STiunAN, the eminent Printer, was born in Edinburgh, in April, 1715. His father, who had a small appointment iu the Customs, gave his son the usual education at the Grammar- School, and then apprenticed him to a printer. While still very young he removed to London, where he pursued his business with great ability and success, and in 1770 purchased from Mr. Eyre a share of the jiatent as King's Printer. To the emoluments of this appointment he subsequently added those derived from the numerous literary copyrights which he purchased with great judgment and on moat liberal terms. Bishop Warhnrton and Dr. Johnson were among his most intimate literary friends. Politics having always been to him a subject of much interest, he was in 1775 elected in conjunction with Charles James Fox to sit in Parliament for the borough of Malmesbnry. This seat he exchanged at the general election in 1780 for Woo tt on Basset, which place he represented until the dissolution of 1784. Mr. Strahan married early in life a daughter of the Reverend William Elphinstone, by whom he had two daughters and three sons, of whom the second, the Reverend George Strahan, D.D., was Prebendary of Rochester and Vicar of Islington, and the third, Mr. Andrew Strahan, M.P., succeeded his father as King's Printer. Mr. Strahan died nn the Dth of July, 1785, in the seventy-first year of his age. His wife survived him scarcely a month, and died on the 7th of August. Tina engi'flving is coined from a mezzotint by J. Jones. The original painting is believed to be in the possession of the family : a copy of it by Sir William Deechey, Ii,A., was ])rescnted by Mr. Andrew Strahan, M.P., to the Stationers' Company in 1815.

PART XXXVL C 0 N T A I iM i\ G FIVE PLATES. SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS, P.R.A. Sir Joshua Reynolds was born at I'lyiuijton, in Duvoushire, ou the lOtli of July, llSii. His father, the Reverend Samuel Reynolds, was the Master of the Free Gmmmar School of that town, where Sir Joshua received his education. At an early age he showed a stron" predeliction for paintiajj, and therefore, on leaving school, was placed as a pupil with the then fashionable portrait-painter, Thomas Hudson. He studied under him for three years, iiml tIk ii ivtiiMied to Devonshire, where he remained until 1749, when he set out on his continental travels. Upon his return to Eiil;1hih! in IT.V:;, In.' .<(.iilL'd hi London, and shortly afterwards distinguished himself by a portrait that he painted of his friend Admiral Lord Kqi[)eL From Ihis jieriod lie rose rapidly to the zenith of his fame. He became one of the Directors of the Society of Artists, and upon the foundation of the Royal Academy in 1768, he was unanimously choseu President, on which occasion lie received the honour of Knighthood. In 1773 he was elected Mayor of Plympton, an honour, he was wont to aay, that gave him more pleasure than any other he received during his life. His eminence as an artist, as well as his critical and literary talents, also gained for him admission into the Royal, the Dilettanti, and Ihe Antiquarian Societies, and on the death of Allan Ramsay, in 1784, he was appointed Principal Painter to His Majesty. Five years after this, the weakness of his sight compelled him, though with great reluctance, to relinquish for ever the practice of his favourite art. Sir Joshua Re}'uolds died at his residence in Leicester Square, on the 23rd of February, 1792, in the sisty-uinth year of his age, and was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral. The exquisite taste and gracefulness of his portraits, combined with the richness and brilliancy of their colouring, fully entitle him to be regarded as the founder of the British School of Painting. The original of this portrait of the great artist, painted by himself, is in the possession of Lord Houghton. It has not jireviuiisly been engraved. GEORGE, FIRST MARQUESS TOWNSHEND.

The Duchess of Manchester died at her residence in Berkeley Square, on the 26th of June, 1832, in the ninety-second year of her age. She was interred iu the family vault in Kimbolton Church. The Right Honouhable George Montagu, Viscount Maedeville, her infant son, was born on the Uth of November, 1763, aud died Februnry 23rd, 1772, aged eight years. The accompanying full-length portrait, in which the Duchess is represented in a wooded landscape aa Diana disarming Cupid whilst asleep, was painted in 1766.

He was educated at Trinity College, Oxford, and took the degree of M.D. in 175-1. He practised with great success at Birmingham for nearly forty years, after which he removed to London. The General Hospital at Birmingham, of which he was physician, was founded chiefly through his influence and exertions. He was also the founder and president of the celebrated Eumelian Club, of which Sir Joshua Reynolds was also a member. This club met at the Blenheim Tavern in Bond Street, and was ao called in honour of its founder, the designatiou being taken from the Greek name of the ash-tree. Dr. Ash attained great eminence iu his profession, and likewise possessed considerable acquireraenta in hteratnre and science. Tlie ncuteness of hia intellect is remarkably illustrated by his own treatment of himself, when at an advanced age he became subject to partial aberration of mind, ariaing from too cloae application to hia medical studies. He resolved to study mathematics and botany, and persevered in this com'sc until bis mind had recovered its proper equilibrium. He was a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, of the Itoyal, and of the Antiquarian Societies, and was the author of " Experiments and Observations to investigate, by chemical analysis, the Medicinal Properties of the Minei-al Waters of Spa and Aix-la-Chapelle," published in 1788, and of the Harveian Oration of 1790.

These societies were denominated Blue-Stocking CUs, the origin of which title being little known, it may be worth while to relate it. One of the most eminent members of those societies, when tbey hist commenced, was Mr. StiUingHeet, whose dress was remarkably grave, and in particnlar it was observed that ha wore blue stocking.. Such was the excellence of his conversation, that his ahsence was felt as so great a loss, that it used to be said, " We can do nothing without the ihi I h r, an Uh s by degrees the title was established. Miss Hannah More has admirably described a Bl«c-Uockmg CM in her " JJoi h many of the jiersons wdio were most conspicuous there are mentioned." Mrs. Montagu was the authoress of " An li d Ocniii, of Slmtespcar, compared with the Greek and French Dramatic Poets," written in reply to the frivolous obj I ^ I 1 the power of her intellect and the vivacity of her gen.ns are best shown in her '* Letters," wliii li .

Miss Fisher is forced to sue to that jurisdiction to protect her from tho baseness of little scribblers and scurvy malevolence; she has been abused in public papers, exposed in print-shops, and to wind up the whole, some wretches mean, ignorant, and venal, would impose upon the public, by daring to pretend to publish her Memoirs. She hopes to prevent the success of their endeavours, by thus publiclily declaring that nothing of that sort has the slightest foundation in truth. C. Fisher." Kitty Fisher married, November 9tb, 1 7GG, as his second wife, John Norris, Esq., of Hemsted Manor, in the parish of Benenden, Kent, who was M.P. for Bye from 1762 to 1774. She was greatlj- beloved by the village poor, and had she not been prematurely cut off by small-pox, would by her good sense and prudence have soon retrievei! the shattered fortune of her liusbaud, over whom she exerted a most beneficial influence. Mrs. Norris died at Hemsted Manor on the 10th of March, 17G7, at about twenty-six yesirs of age, and was buried in the family vault in the chancel of Benenden Church. The original painting of this portrait was in the possession of the late Hugh Andrew Johnstone Munro, of Novar, Esq., and is now in that of his nephew Henry Butler-Johnstone, Esq.
