NOTICE. 
 
 jljlR COUTTS LINDSAY desires to express his thanks to the 
 owners of works in the present Exhibition for the readiness 
 with which they have entrusted to him so many important 
 pictures. He likewise takes this opportunity for recording his indebted- 
 ness to Mr 8 Walter Armstrong, who has supplied the notes accompanying 
 the Catalogue. In this it has been thought well to include short but 
 systematic notices of the painters represented, as the object of the 
 exhibition is to widen the knowledge of our own English School in 
 every way possible. 
 
For many names of artists, pictures and portraits, the compiler of this Catalogue 
 cannot hold himself responsible. 
 
 CATALOGUE. 
 
 The Numbers commence in the West Gallery, and continue from Left to right. 
 The terms " right'" and u left " in the descriptions of the pictures denote the right and left 
 of the picture, not of the spectator. 
 
 In giving the size of a picture, the first measurement indicates the height, the second the 
 width, of the canvas or panel. 
 
 WEST GALLERY. 
 
 FIRST ROOM. 
 
 GEORGE MORLAND. 
 Born 1763 ; died 1804. 
 
 Moiiand was the son and grandson of painters, his father being Henry Robert, and his 
 grandfather, George Henry Morland, both well-known in their time. He was apprenticed to 
 his father, and afterwards lived for a time a roving life, painting anything which was asked for, 
 and living from hand to mouth. About 1783 he settled at Kensal Green, and there, two years 
 later, he married Nancy Ward, the sister of William Ward, the engravei, who afterwards 
 scraped so many mezzotints after his brother-in-law's pictures, and of James Waid, R.A. 
 After Morland's marriage he lived far beyond his means, and was never again free from pressing 
 money difficulties. Many of his best pictures were painted in the Rules of the King's Bench 
 Prison, for exploiters — sweaters we might call them now — who paid him four guineas a day 
 and his drink, and stood over him, watch in hand, as he worked. His best period was from 
 
IO 
 
 West Gallery. 
 
 about 1790 to 1796. In 1804 he was arrested at the suit of a publican, and taken to a spunging- 
 house in Clerkenwell. There he died on the 29th of October. His wife only survived him three 
 days, and they were buried in the same grave. 
 
 I. The Lost Kite. 
 
 Lent by Mrs. Thwaites. 
 
 A kite has become entangled in the upper branches of an oak. A young man in blue 
 clambers up to release it, while another, in red, endeavours to free the tail with a stick. A third 
 youth sits under the tree, while a small boy, the owner of the toy, clasps his hands in anxiety 
 for its fate. 
 
 Size 26| X 2 oJ inches. 
 
 JOHN OPIE, R.A. 
 
 Born 1761 ; died 1807. 
 
 The " Cornish Wonder," as Opie was christened by " Peter Pindar," was born at the 
 village of St. Agnes, near Truro. He was the son of a master carpenter, and at first self- 
 educated in art. He was discovered, however, by Dr. Wolcot, at that time living in Truro, who 
 took him to London in 1 780. Here commissions crowded upon him, and for a time his vogue 
 was great. His insensibility to grace, however, was against him, and after a time he was left 
 to paint subject pictures of a historical or quasi historical kind. One of his best in this sense 
 is the "Death of James I. of Scotland," in the City ot London Gallery. Opie succeeded Fuseli 
 as Professor of Painting to the Royal Academy in 1806, but died the year after. 
 
 2. Portrait of Sylvanus Padley. 
 
 Lent by Dr. Padley. 
 
 Half-length of a little boy in crimson jacket and white collar. Figure facing to the left, 
 the head turned over right shoulder, nearly full face to spectator. Dark brown hair, cut across 
 the forehead and falling in curls on the neck. Dark background. 
 
 Painted when the sitter was ten, when Opie was on a visit to Mr. Padley' s father, in 
 company with Dr. Wolcot (' Peter Pindar').

 SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS, P.R.A. 
 
 Born 1723; died 1792. 
 
 The first of the P.R.A's. was born at Plympton, near Plymouth. His father, Samuel 
 Reynolds, was the master of Plympton Grammar School. The boy showed even more than the 
 usual precocity, and his first set work, a portrait painted on an old sail, is still in existence. In 
 1740 he was sent to the studio of Thomas Hudson. Two years later, Reynolds went back 
 to Plymouth, and was soon hard at work on portraits. Between 1744 and 1748, he oscillated 
 a good deal between London and the West Country, and then, in 1 749, he sailed with Admiral 
 Keppel for a cruise in the Mediterranean. In 1752 he was back in London, having meanwhile 
 worked and studied in Rome, Florence, Venice and other Italian cities. His success in London 
 was immediate, both as a painter and as a social unit. The Society of Artists opened its first 
 exhibition in 1760, and Reynolds became a regular and prolific contributor. In 1768 the Royal 
 Academy was founded, and he was named its first president. The following year he was knighted. 
 In 1790 the majority of the Academy disagreed with him over the election of Bonomi as 
 Associate and Professor of Painting, and he resigned the presidency, only, however, to withdraw 
 his resignation a few days later at the request of his colleagues. In December, 1790, he 
 delivered his fifteenth and last discourse. A few months later he almost entirely lost his sight 
 and again resigned. His resignation was again refused, and he remained P.R.A. till his death, 
 which occurred February 23rd, 1792. He was buried in St. Paul's, close to the tomb of Wren. 
 
 3, Lady Elizabeth Keppel. 
 
 Lent by Edward L. Raphael, Esq, 
 
 One of the famous portraits from the collection of Lord Albemarle. The head is 
 turned to the left; the hands are clasped in the lap. A lace fichu crosses the bosom, into 
 which a pink rose is thrust. Pearl necklace, large earrings, and bracelets. Dark background, 
 with glimpse of sky through an open window. 
 
 Size 29 X 24 inches. 
 
 THOMAS GAINSBOROUGH, R.A. 
 Born 1727 ; died 1788. 
 
 Gainsborough was the son of a clothier, at Sudbury, in Suffolk. He discovered his artistic 
 bent at a very early age, but was sent, before he was ten, to the Sudbury Grammar School, of 
 which his uncle, the Rev. Humphrey Burrows, was at that time master. In 1 741 he was sent 
 
12 
 
 West Gallery. 
 
 to London, and entrusted to the care of a silversmith. This man introduced him to the engraver 
 Gravelot, by whom he was taught to etch. Gravelot was a man of discrimination, and bestirred 
 himself to win admission for his pupil into St. Martin's Lane Academy. There Gainsborough 
 worked for three years under Frank Hayman, after which he set up for himself in Hatton Garden. 
 Twelve months of this were enough for him, and in 1745 he returned to Sudbury. There he 
 painted portraits, and married Miss Margaret Burr, the natural daughter, it was said, of a noble 
 duke. After a short stay at Sudbury, the painter moved on to Ipswich, and thence, in 1760, to 
 Bath. Here he rapidly became the rage, and his prices rose to forty guineas for a half-length, 
 and a hundred for a full-length portrait. In 1768 Gainsborough's name appeared among the 
 thirty-six foundation members of the Royal Academy. In 1774 he came finally to London, and 
 settled in Schomberg House, Pall Mall, which now forms the western extremity of the War 
 Office. From that year to his death he was loaded with commissions. His relations with the 
 Royal Academy, and with its president, Sir Joshua, were never cordial. From 1773 to 1776 he 
 was an absentee from the annual exhibitions, and a motion was earned, but subsequently 
 rescinded, that his name should be omitted from the list of members. Again, in 1783, he with- 
 drew his pictures because the council refused to give a place on the line to his full length group 
 of the three princesses, and never renewed his contributions. In 1788 he was present at the 
 trial of Warren Hastings in Westminster Hall. Returning home, he complained of feeling a 
 chill in his neck. This developed into cancer, which killed him on the 2nd of August in 
 the same year. Gainsborough is said to have never signed a picture.

 JOHN LINNELL. 
 Born 1792; died 1882. 
 John Linnell was bom in Bloomsbury, where his father was in business as a picture dealer 
 and carver in wood. |His education as an artist was extremely varied. He worked at the Royal 
 Academy, at Dr. Monro's, in the studio of John Varley, and in other places besides. He began 
 to exhibit at the Academy in 1807. His first pictures were landscapes, but after a jjtime he 
 devoted most of his attention to portrait painting. He also gave lessons in drawing, one of his 
 pupils being Maiy Godwin, afterwards Mrs. Shelley. It was about the year 1835 that Linnell began 
 to confine himself to those subject landscapes with which his name is chiefly associated. He 
 moved from the neighbourhood of Fitzroy Square, first to 26,?Porchester Terrace, and afterwards, 
 in 1852, to Redhill, where he found countless subjects for his art, and where he spent the rest of 
 his days. After waiting patiently, but without result, for twenty-one years, he withdrew his 
 name from the list of candidates for the A.R.A.-ship, and refused to allow it to be replaced. 
 He died at Redhill, January 20, 1882. 
 
 6. The Wood Cutters. 
 
 Lent by Keeley Halsivelle, Esq. 
 
 Size 9X15 inches. 
 
 GEORGE ROMNEY. 
 Born 1734; died 1802. 
 Romney was a native of Dalton-le-Furness, Lancashire. His early teaching as a painter 
 was derived mainly from one Christopher Steele, a sort of painter charlatan, who called 
 himself Count Steele. Romney aided his master to run away to Gretna Green with a young 
 woman of some fortune, and is said to have been made seriously ill by the excitement of the 
 adventure. In this illness he was nursed by one Mary Abbott, whom, on his recovery, he 
 married. Six years later he left Kendall for London, leaving his wife and two children 
 behind him. His success in London was rapid and complete. In 1775 he was able to take 
 the large house in Cavendish Square, left vacant by the death of Cotes, which was afterwards 
 occupied by Sir Martin Shee. In 1782 he encountered Lady Hamilton, who then called 
 herself Mrs. Harte, and for years was never completely happy except when she was posing 
 before him. In 1797 Romney moved to Hampstead and soon after betrayed the first decisive 
 
West Gallery. 
 
 symptoms of the mental disorder by which his last days were clouded. In 1799 he travelled 
 northward to Kendal, in search of the wife whom he had seen but twice in twenty-seven years. 
 In her arms he died, hopelessly imbecile, on the 15th November, 1802. 
 
 7. Lady Hamilton as Miranda. 
 
 Lent by Lady Harvey, 
 
 Head and shoulders, turned to the left, the head thrown back and looking upwards, the 
 bare right arm raised. Across the right shoulder a pale red drapery. The auburn hair waving 
 in disorder round the face and neck. Dark background. 
 
 Emma Harte was the daughter of a domestic servant, and entered a family as nursemaid at 
 the age of thirteen. A few years later she came to London, and, after various obscure vicissitudes, 
 was rescued from absolute destitution by Dr. Graham, a disreputable quack, who exhibited' her 
 as the Goddess Hygeia, with nothing but the usual scanty costume* of a goddess upon her. 
 Charles Greville took her under his protection, and would have married her but for the inter- 
 ference of his uncle, Sir William Hamilton, who rescued his nephew from the mesalliance by 
 committing it himself. It was between her exhibition as Hygeia and her liaison with Greville 
 that Emma Harte sat so often to Romney. Sir William Hamilton married her in 1 791, and 
 introduced her to the Court of Naples, where he was British minister. There she became a 
 great favourite with the King and Queen, and there began the connection with Lord Nelson, 
 which only ended with the latter's death. Lady Hamilton died in poverty, in 1816, at a lodging 
 near Calais.

 ROBERT SMIRKE, R.A. 
 
 Born 1752 ; died 1845. 
 
 Smirke was a native of Wigton. At the age of nineteen he entered the schools of the 
 Royal Academy, of which society he was, in 1792, elected both an associate and a full member. 
 A large proportion of his pictures are small paintings in grisaille, in illustration of books. His 
 last productions were the designs for the reliels on the facade of the Oxford and Cambridge 
 Club-house, in Pall Mall. He died in London.

 WILLIAM HOGARTH. 
 
 Born 1697; died 1764. 
 Hogarth was the son of a pedagogue, who, after keeping school at St. Bees, in Westmore- 
 land, exercised the same calling in London, adding to it the work of a publisher's hack and 
 corrector of the press. His famous son was born in Ship Court, Old Bailey. At his own 
 request he was apprenticed to Ellis, or Elias, Gamble, a silversmith, whose shop stood in 
 Cranbourne Alley. When his time was out, he set up as an engraver for the plate press, 
 engraving book-plates, bill-heads, and other matters of the same description. His first work 
 was a trade card for himself. In 1724 he began to attend Sir James Thornhill's Academy in 
 Covent Garden. In 1726 the first engravings of his to win any considerable notice were 
 published; these were the plates to " Hudibras." In 1729 he ran away with Thornhill's only 
 daughter, and married her in Paddington Church. In 1733 he moved to the house in Leicester 
 Fields, the site of which is now marked by a plate on the front of " Archbishop Tenison's 
 School." In 1734 he finished the "Harlot's," and a year later the "Rake's, Progress." In 
 1735 h e obtained the Act against the piratical reproduction of other men's designs, which is 
 still known as Hogarth's Act. In 1736 he painted the staircase of St. Bartholomew's Hospital. 
 In 1745 ne advertised an auction of his pictures, to which the admission ticket was the etching 
 known as the " Battle of the Pictures." In the same year the "Marriage a la Mode" series 
 was finished. In 1 746 he painted the portrait of Lord Lovat. In 1748 he made his famous 
 tour in France, and painted the "Roast Beef of Old England," as well as the " March to 
 Finchley," which has been at the Foundling Hospital ever since. After this his chief produc- 
 tions were the election pictures now in the Soane Museum; the " Lady's Last Stake;" and 
 the " Sigismunda Weeping over the Heart of Guiscardo," in the National Gallery. His last 
 works were the satire upon Churchill, and the famous and ferocious " John Wilkes, Esq.' 
 "The Bathos," Hogarth's last plate, was published in 1764.

 SIR EDWIN LANDSEER, R.A. 
 
 Born 1 802 ; died 18-73. 
 
 The most famous of English animcuiers was born in London, in Queen Anne Street East. 
 He was the youngest son of John Landseer, A.RA.., who began his art training at a very early 
 age. The boy had two pictures in the Royal Academy in 1815. In 1816 he entered the 
 schools of that society. In 1822 he gained a premium of ^150 from the Directors of the 
 British Institution for his picture of " The Larder Invaded." In 1824 he made the first of his 
 annual tours in Scotland, visiting Scott at Abbotsford. In 1826 he became an A.R.A., and in 
 1 83 1 an R.A. In 1837 he was commissioned to paint three subjects in connection with the 
 chase, for the Houses of Parliament, but the project came to nothing, as the Commons refused 
 to vote the money. In 1850 he was knighted. In 1855 he received a medaille (Thonneur at the 
 Paris Exhibition. In 1869 his Lions, in Trafalgar Square, were uncovered. In 1873 he died, 
 and was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral. The winter exhibition at Burlington House in 1874 
 consisted of 461 pictures, drawings, and sketches by Landseer.

 FRANCIS WHEATLEY, R.A. 
 Born 1747 ; died 1801. 
 Wheatley was tlie son of a master tailor in Wild Court, Drury Lane. He studied in 
 Shipley's School, and at the Royal Academy. While still very young he was several times 
 awarded premiums by the Society of Arts. He was employed on the decoration of Vauxhall, 
 and so fell in with players, among whom he found many friends. He lived extravagantly, 
 accumulated debts, and made off to Dublin to avoid his creditors, taking the wife of Gresse, the 
 water-colour painter, with him. In the Irish capital he met with much success as a portrait 
 painter, but having introduced Mrs. Gresse as his wife, was obliged to leave Dublin when the 
 truth was discovered. He returned to London, was elected an A.R.A. in 1790, and an R.A. 
 in 1 791. Soon afterwards the Academy voted him a pension. Many of his pictures have been 
 engraved; among these the best known are the series of "London Cries" and the "Gordon 
 Riots."

 SIR WILLIAM BEECHEY, R.A.

 Beechey was a native of Burford, in Oxfordshire. He began life in a solicitor's office, but,

 long delay won popularity as a portrait painter. In 1793 he was elected an A. R. A., and in 
 1798 an R.A. In the latter year he painted the large picture of George III., reviewing the 
 10th Light Dragoons," which is now at Hampton Court. For this picture he was knighted. A 
 repetition of it, with the figure of the Prince of Wales omitted by command of the king, belongs 
 to Lord Sidmouth. Beechey is one of the few English painters represented in foreign galleries. 
 An excellent picture by him is in the Louvre. He exhibited at the Royal Academy for sixty- 
 four years, contributing altogether 362 portraits to its shows. In his later years he lived at 
 Hampstead, and there he died.

 RICHARD PARKES BONINGTON. 
 Born 1801 ; died 1828. 
 
 Bonington was born at Arnold, near Nottingham. His father was, for a time, Governor 
 of Nottingham Gaol, but losing his appointment through his irregular discharge of his duties, 
 he took to portrait painting, and settled in Paris. There the son became a student in the 
 Ecole des Beaux Arts, where he won the annual gold medal. In 1822 he went to Venice, and 
 two or three years later came to London, where, in 1826, he exhibited some pictures at the 
 British Institution. These excited great interest among English painters, to whom Bonington 
 was then completely unknown. He visited Paris in the same year, and there received a 
 sunstroke while sketching. He returned to London, fell ill of brain-fever, and died after a 
 short illness. He was buried in St. James's Church, Pentonville.

 to modesty, he was on every side surrounded by the donors of popularity, the unsavoury tide of 
 which now floated round him. His two burgomaster friends, who were ' Schoppen ' or 
 Syndics of the city, had made fast both his arms. Before him, Nikkei Blok, the chief of the 
 butchers' incorporation, hastily summoned from his office in the shambles, brandished his death- 
 doing axe, yet smeared with blood and brains, with a courage and grace which brantwein alone 
 could inspire. Behind him came the tall, lean, raw-boned, very drunk, and very patriotic 
 figure of Claus Hammerlein, president of the mysteries of the workers in iron, and followed by at 
 least a thousand unwashed artificers of his class. Weavers, nailers, ropemakers, artisans of every 
 degree, thronged forward to join the procession from every gloomy and narrow street. Escape 
 seemed a desperate and impossible adventure. In this dilemma Quentin appealed to Rouslaer, 
 who held one arm, and to Pavilion, who had secured the other, and who were conducting him 
 forward at the head of the ovation of which he had so unexpectedly become the principal 
 object."

 RICHARD WILSON, R.A. 
 Born 1 7 14 ; died 1782. 
 
 The "English Claude" was born at Pinegas, Montgomeryshire, where his father held a 
 small living. His mother was a connection of Lord Chancellor Camden. He studied for six 
 years under an obscure painter called Thomas Wright, and then commenced portrait painting 
 on his own account. There are portraits by him in the Garrick Club and the National 
 Portrait Gallery. A_t the age of about thirty he abandoned portraits for landscape, and in 1749 
 he visited Italy, where he lived and painted for nearly six years. On his return to 
 London in 1755, only men of cultivated taste could understand his works, and he had 
 a hard struggle to live. He was included, however, in the list of foundation members of the 
 Royal Academy, and was a constant exhibitor down to ^1780. He was elected Librarian to 
 the Academy in 1776, and a few years later succeeded to a small property in North Wales on 
 the death of his brother. There he passed the last few months of his life.

 Three-quarter-length, the face nearly full to the right, the head leaning on the right 
 hand, the elbow resting on the knee, which is raised by some unseen object under the right foot. 
 Her left hand hangs by her side. To the right, against her knee, a metal jug. White muslin 
 dress, cut low, sleeves to the elbow ; a pink sash, fastened at the side, floats over her lap. The 
 fair hair, waving round the neck and face, is surmounted by a small white cap, with long veil 
 behind. Dark background. 
 
 Dorothea Bland, or Jordan, was born at Waterford about the year 1762. She went on the 
 stage while still a child, making her debut at Dublin in the part of Phoebe in " As you like it." 
 Five years later she came to England, and in 1785 appeared at Drury Lane as Peggy in the 
 " Countiy Girl." Her connection with the Duke of Clarence, afterwards William IV., did not 
 begin until 1791, between which year and their separation in 181 1, she bore him ten children. 
 The exact cause of her repudiation has never been explained. She died at St. Cloud in 1816.

 WILLIAM ETTY, R.A. 
 Born 17H7 ; died 1 849. 
 
 Like Rembrandt and Constable, Etty, as he himself proclaimed, was the son of a miller. 
 He was born at York, and was apprenticed in 1798, to a printer named Robert Peck. For 
 seven years he strove diligently to please his master ; for no less than three weeks after his time 
 was out, he tried almost as hard to resign himself to the perennial setting up of type. He 
 failed, however, and in 1806 made his way to London, determined to force a passage into art. 
 In the capital he was protected by an uncle, who received him into his house ; and furnished with 
 money by a brother. His first academy, as he phrased it, was a plaster cast shop in Cock 
 Lane, Smithfield. In 1809 he won admission to the Royal Academy Schools, where he had 
 Haydon, Hilton, and Collins for companions. Through the generosity of his uncle, who 
 paid the premium of a hundred guineas, he became the scholar, for a year, of Sir Thomas

 Lawrence. His progress was very slow, but his patience and docility were indefatigable, and at 
 last, in 1811, he had a picture hung at the Academy. In 18 16 he made a three or four months' 
 tour on the continent, and in 1822-24, another. But Etty was no traveller. He was miserable 
 when unable to carry out the routine to which he was accustomed at home. All through his 
 journeys, for instance, he dragged two kettles, a teapot, and a supply of tea, lest he should 
 be deprived for a day of his favourite drink ! In 1824 he returned to England, and was the same 
 year elected an A.R.A. In 1828 he became a full Academician. In 1 848 he bought a house 
 at York and moved thither, but returned to London the year after, to be present at the 
 Exhibition of 133 of his pictures in the great room of the Society of Arts. He died at York a 
 few months later.

 JAMES STARK. 
 
 Born 1794; died 1859. 
 
 Stark was a Scot by extraction ; he was born, however, at Norwich, where he learnt his 
 art under Crome, studying afterwards for a time in the Royal Academy. He was elected a 
 member of the Norwich Society as early as 1812, and after a period of enforced idleness, the 
 the result of illness, began to contribute largely to its exhibitions. In 1821 he moved to 
 Yarmouth, but soon returned to Norwich. Between 1839 and 1849 he lived at Windsor, and 
 from the latter year to his death, in London. He died in Morninglon Place, Regent's Park, on 
 March 24th, 1859.

 Ward was born in Thames Street, London. He was the pupil of his brother, William 
 Ward, the well-known engraver after Morland, and of J. Raphael Smith, with whom, however, 
 he only remained some few months. After making a name for himself by {his mezzotints, he 
 took to the painting of animals, in which he rapidly rose to fame. He was elected an A.R.A. 
 in 1807, a full Academician in 181 1, and continued to send pictures to the Exhibition until 1855, 
 when he was in his 87 th year. His masterpiece is "The Young Alderney Bull and Cow in a 
 Meadow," of the National Gallery. About 1830 he retired to Cheshunt, where he died.

 JOSEPH MALLORD WILLIAM TURNER, R.A. 
 
 Born 1775 ; died 185 1. 
 
 Turner was the son of a hairdresser in Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, where he was born. 
 He was admitted to the schools of the Royal Academy exactly a hundred years ago, having 
 already been the medium of certain small gains to his father by his talents with a pencil. 
 Even before he became a student he had contributed a drawing to the exhibition at Somerset 
 House. He studied perspective under Thomas Malton and in the office of Thomas Hardwick, 
 the architect. With Girtin and many others he worked under the friendly roof of Dr. Monro, 
 and for a time lived by putting in backgrounds to architects' drawings, by giving lessons, and 
 by making topographical sketches. After a time he began to make excursions to the more 
 picturesque parts of Great Britain, in search of material for illustrations to those topographical 
 works which were then in vogue. Nearly all his finer pictures were painted between 1805 and 
 1840, and during these years he made the tours in France, in Italy, in Switzerland, and on the 
 Rhine, in which he gathered so much material for his unrivalled water-colour drawings and for 
 the Liber Studio-rum, as well as for his pictures. Turner's successive residences were in Harley 
 Street, at Hammersmith, at Twickenham, and in Queen Anne Street. During the last years of 
 his life he also had lodgings in a small house just above Battersea Bridge, which was kept by a 
 woman with whom he had established intimate relations. In that house he died on the 19th of 
 December, 185 1.

 WILLIAM KIDD, Hon. R.S.A.

 William Kidd was born in Edinburgh, and there he began his struggle for life as apprentice 
 to a house-painter. After he was free, however, he gave rein to his desires for a higher form of 
 art. His admiration had been fired by the works of Alexander Carse, the forerunner of Wilkie, 
 and of Wilkie himself. While still in his teens, he made his way to London and attacked 
 subjects of the same class as theirs. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 18 17, and 
 down to 1840 was seldom absent. In 1849, ne was elected an honorary Scottish Academician, 
 after which he sent most of his pictures to Scotland. Towards the end of his life, he sank into 
 financial embarrassment, and became a pensioner on the Royal Academy. He died, in London, 
 on Christmas Day, 1863.

 journals of the House of Commons. In 1740 he published Pamela, which ran through five 
 editions in one year. In 1748 it was followed by Clarissa Harlowe, and in 1753 by the

 JOHN SELL COTMAN. 
 
 Born 1782; died 1842. 
 
 The most original of the little coterie of Norwich painters was born in the old cathedral 
 city, and educated at the Free Grammar School. His father was a silk mercer, and he himself 
 was meant for the same calling. But a native bent towards art drove him, at eighteen, to 
 London, where he stayed until he was twenty-four. During these years he worked much at 
 Dr. Monro's, and sent landscapes to the exhibitions. Many of these were views in Wales, 
 which he must have contrived to visit after leaving Yarmouth. In 1807 he was back in his 
 native city, where he became member and secretary of the Norwich Society of Artists. In 1808 
 he contributed 67 pictures to the Society's exhibition. He then moved for a time to Yarmouth, 
 where he taught drawing. Between 181 1 and 1822 he published several sets of etchings after 
 architectural antiquities in England and Normandy, in which he was assisted by Mr. Dawson 
 Turner, the Norwich banker and antiquary. In 1825 he was elected an associate exhibitor of 
 the old Water Colour Society — he never became a full member. In 1834 ne moved again to 
 London, on being appointed drawing master to King's College School. He died in London, 
 having for some time before been out of his mind.

 Peter, commonly called Patrick, Nasmyth, was born at Edinburgh. While still very young 
 he so injured his right hand that he had to paint with his left ; he also became totally deaf in 
 consequence of an illness. At the age of twenty, he came to London, and soon won popularity. 
 In 1809 he exhibited at the Academy, and in 1824 became an original member of the Society of 
 B-ritiih Artists. He died in Lambeth, during a thunderstorm ; this, at his own request, he was 
 raised in bed to look at. He was brother to Mr. James Nasmyth, the distinguished engineer.

 JOHN CONSTABLE, R.A. 
 Born 1776; died 1837. 
 
 The greatest of all painters of natural, or, as some would call it, realistic landscape, was 
 bom at East Bergholt, in Suffolk. His father was a miller on a large scale, and Constable 
 himself followed that trade for a time. In 1800, however, he became a student at the Royal 
 Academy, and also worked under Ramsay Richard Reinagle. In 18 16 he married. In 1819 
 he was elected an A. R.A. In 1820 he went to Hampstead, where he lived for the rest of his 
 life. In 1824 two of his pictures created a great furore at the Salon, and were awarded 
 medailles d'or ; one of them, the " Haywain," is now in the National Gallery; as to the other 
 it is believed to have been "The Bridge," at the present moment in the Winter 
 Exhibition of the Royal Academy, to which it has been lent by Mr. Horrocks Miller ; 
 In 1829 Constable was elected a full Academician ; eight years later his life came to 
 a sudden end. For his death no better cause could be assigned than a violent attack of 
 indigestion. Until quite lately Constable was insufficiently represented in our public

 Ibbetson was born at Masham, in Yorkshire. He came early to London, where he painted 
 some scenes for the theatres and worked lor the dealers. In 1788, he accompanied Colonel 
 Cathcart's embassy to China. The prosperity of his life was wrecked by the loss, in rapid 
 succession, of his wife and eight of his eleven children. This took place in 1794 and the 
 years immediately preceding. Reduced to want by illness and intemperance, he left London in

 SIR DAVID WILKIE, R.A.

 Wilkie was; born at Cuits, in Fifeshire, where, his father was the minister. He was 
 educated at the Trustees' Academy, in Edinburgh, and in the schools of the Royal Academy, 
 in London. He made a name, at the first attempt, by his picture of the " Village Politicians," 
 which was at Somerset House in ,1806. He was elected an associate of the Academy in 
 1809 and a member in 181 1. In 1825 he started for a tour on the Continent, which he pro- 
 longed into a stay of three years. On his return he painted new subjects in,a different style 
 from that with which he had earned his fame. After the death of Sir Thomas Lawrence in 1830 
 Wilkie became painter in ordinary to the King ; he had held the corresponding post in Scotland 
 ever since Raeburn's death in 1823. In 1840 he started for a tour in the East. In the autumn 
 of the same year he was at Constantinople, where he was the guest of Sir Moses, then Mr. 
 Montefiore ; thence he went to the Holy Land and Egypt. He died on his voyage homewards 
 through the Mediterranean, and was buried at sea, off Gibraltar.

 EDWARD BRISTOW. 
 Born 1787 ; died 1876. 
 
 Edward Bristow was a native of Windsor, where, and in Eton, he passed nearly the whole 
 of his long life. He was eccentric in character, violent both in sympathies and antipathies, 
 and a determined radical in politics. To those whom he considered in any way representative of 
 the aristocratic idea, he would scarcely sell a picture, while for his own friends and sympathizers, 
 he would paint for very small prices, or for nothing at all. He exhibited on a few occasions at the 
 Royal Academy, but there, too, his susceptibilities stood in his way. He was fond of referring 
 to the terms of warm admiration in which Landseer had alluded to some of his works. He died 
 in a house in Eton High Street, where he had lived for many years before his death.

 JOHN CROME. 
 Born 1768 ; Died 1821. 
 The founder and chief ornament of the little Norwich School of painting, was the son of a 
 poor weaver, and began life as errand boy to Dr. Rigby. After a time he apprenticed himself 
 to one Frank Whistler, a painter of signs and coaches, under whom he learnt the rudiments of 
 painting as a trade. After his time was out, he worked as a journeyman, and is said to have 
 been the first person to practice " graining." About this time he struck up a friendship with 
 Robert Ladbrooke, and the two used to go on sketching excursions together. Among dome's 
 early friends were Sir William Beechey, of whose studio he had the run when he came to 
 London ; Mr. John Gurney, of Earlham ; and Mr. Dawson Turner. It was not, however, till 
 he was approaching middle age that Crome could make a competence by his art, and even then 
 it was mainly on teaching that he had to depend. In the last ten years of his life, however, his 
 work sold freely in his native county, and he was able to live in modest comfort on its proceeds. 
 In 1833, Crome united with several amateurs and young professional painters to form the Norwich 
 Society of Artists, the only English provincial body of the kind which has developed a character 
 of its own. Crome' s death occurred at Norwich, after but a few days' illness.

 JOHN HOPPNER, R.A. 
 
 Born 1758 ; died 1810. 
 
 Hoppner was born in Whitechapel. His parents were both German, and his mother was 
 employed in some humble capacity at St. James's Palace. The gossips told tales about his 
 birth, which he, it is said, was not ashamed to wink at in after years. He began life as a choir 
 boy in the Chapel Royal. In 1775 he became a student at the Royal Academy. On setting 
 up for himself, he was patronised by the Prince of Wales and his Court, and painted many of the 
 beauties of Carlton House. In 1 793 he was elected an associate, and two years later a full

 landscape backgrounds and his beautiful studies in black and white, are enough to prove that he 
 might, had he pleased, have become one of the first of English landscape painters.

 at those of the Society of British Artists, between 18 17 and 1830. He came to London in 
 1819, married, and took a good house in Kentish Town. He soon fell, however, into all sorts 
 of bad habits, and was overwhelmed with money difficulties. After 1830 all trace of him 
 disappears.

 In Sir Joshua's list of sitters for March, 1760, we find the Rev. Lawrence Sterne (Sunday, 
 6th). The portrait was painted for Lord Ossory, and passed into the possession of Lord 
 Holland, on whose 'death, in 1840, it was purchased by the 9 Marquis of Lansdowne for 500 
 guineas. Sterne's well-known story as to Sir Joshua's generosity with regard to his portrait 
 lacks corroboration. In answer to a friend who had* expressed a wish fthat he jshould sit (to 
 Reynolds, he writes :— " You must mention the business to 'Reynolds yourself, for^I^will^tell 
 you why I cannot. He has already painted a very excellent portrait of me, which, when I went 
 to pay him for, he desired me to accept as a tribute (to use his own elegant and flattering 
 expression), that his heart wished to pay to my genius." 
 
 Sterne was the grandson of Richard Sterne, Archbishop of York. His father was a 
 lieutenant in a marching regiment, and he himself was born at Clonmel, in 17 13. He took his 
 M.A. from Jesus College, Cambridge, in 1740. Soon after being ordained, he was presented to 
 the living of Sutton, to which were afterwards added a prebend at York,|and two more livings. 
 In 1759 appeared the two first volumes of Tristram\S 'handy ; the ninth" and last was issued in 
 1767. In 1 761 he came to London to see the Sentimental Journey safely through the press, 
 and was seized by an illness, which ended fatally on the 18 th of March in that year.

 He entered the Church and came in time to hold a prebend at Lincoln and to be chaplain to the 
 Prince Regent. He practised art ostensibly as an amateur, but was elected an A.R.A. in 177 1 
 and an R.A. in 1777. He resigned in 1790 and died twenty years later at Brasted Place, in 
 Kent. Strange stories are told of the latitude he occasionally allowed his brush. " Peter 
 Pindar" attacked him savagely,

 Raeburn was born in Stockbridge, now part of the New Town of Edinburgh ; after 
 receiving an education at Heriot's Hospital, he was apprenticed, at fifteen, to a Goldsmith. 
 Showing a taste for art, he was introduced by his master to David Martin, at that time the 
 leading Scottish painter. Martin lent him pictures to copy, but does not seem to have done 
 much else to bring him on. At the age of twenty-two Raeburn married the widow of a Count

 Leslie, whose comfortable fortune set him above money cares. He came to London, and, by

 became an A.R.A., and in 18 14 a full Academician. In 1822, on the occasion of George FVVs 
 visit to Scotland, he was knighted, and the next year he died. In 1876 a collection of 325

 came to England while still young and practised in various parts of the country, especially at 
 York. On the foundation of the Royal Academy in 1768 he was one of the original members. 
 In 1775 he quarrelled with his colleagues, on their refusing to hang two pictures by him which 
 they believed to be painted inuendos against Reynolds and Angelica Kauffmann. He continued 
 however, to send pictures to the exhibition. Hone lived at one time in the central part or

 Galway, named Cotes, came to London in or about 1720, and there a few years later his wife 
 bore him a son, who was christened Francis. The father, a chemist by trade, made the boy a

 painter, and placed him in the studio of George Knapton. On leaving Knapton, Cotes soon 
 won sitters for his portraits, and at last became so fashionable, both as a painter and as a draughts- 
 man in pastel, that he could move his domicile to Bath and back again without loss of clients. In 
 1767 he painted Queen Charlotte, with the Princess Royal on her lap. At that time he was living 
 in Cavendish Square, in the house afterwards occupied successively by Romney and by Sir 
 Martin Archer Shee, P.R.A. There he brought about his own death, in his forty-fifth year, by 
 a rash experiment in therapeutics. One of his best pictures is a portrait group in the possession 
 of the Sacred Harmonic Society. Many of his draperies were painted by Peter Toms, R.A., 
 who was so affected by Cotes's death, that he fell into hypochondria and committed suicide.

 Lent by C Morrison, Esq. 
 
 In the distance the tower of Dedham Church rises in the centre of the picture. The 
 middle distance is occupied by flat meadows, with cattle. In the foreground, on the left, a tall 
 clump of battered elms, under the shadow of which a barge lies in the lock, its way being 
 checked by a man who hangs to a rope, which is passed twice round a post. A woman's head 
 appears beyond him, looking out of the cabin. In the immediate foreground are the lock gates, 
 the paddles of which a man raises with a crowbar ; on the right, a horse, a boy, and a dog. 
 
 On the 13th of April, 1825, Constable writes to his friend Fisher—" * * My ' Lock' is 
 now on my easel ; it is silvery, windy, and delicious ; all health, and the absence of everything 
 stagnant, and is wonderfully got together ; the print will be fine." S.;W. 8 Reynolds, whose plate 
 from the "Lock" was left unfinished at his death, thus^writes of the picture to Constable. 
 " It is, no doubt, the best of your works, true to nature/seen^andjarranged with a professor's 
 taste and judgment. The execution shows in. every part a hand of experience; masterly 
 without rudeness, and complete without littleness ; the colouring is sweet, fresh and' healthy ; 
 bright, not gaudy, but deep and clear. Take it. for all in all, since the days 01 Gainsborough 
 and Wilson, no landscape has been painted with so much truth and originality, so much art, so 
 little artifice."

 Singleton was born in London. He became a student at the Royal Academy Schools, and 
 won their highest honours in 1788. On that occasion he was warmly praised by Reynolds ; but 
 his mature work failed to bear out this early promise. His pictures are weak in conception 
 and poor in colour ; the best are those in a series of small scenes from Shakespeare. He died 
 in London.

 " Not with more glories, in the ethereal plain, 
 The sun first rises o'er the purpled main, 
 Than issuing forth the rival of his beams, 
 Launched on the bosom of the silver Thames ; 
 Fair nymphs and well-dressed youths around her shone, 
 But every eye was fixed on her alone."

 171. Dr. Johnson without a Wig. 
 
 Lent by Sir John Nee Id, Bart. 
 
 This unfinished portrait, by Opie, was painted a little before the Doctor's death. 
 
 Sir John Hawkins says that " About the middle of the year 1784, the Doctor was so far 
 restored to health that he forgot all his complaints, and resumed sitting to Opie for the picture 
 that had been begun the year before, but I believe was never finished." (Croker's Boswell, 
 vol. V., p. 231.) 
 
 Dr. M. Lort, writing to Dr. Percy, Bishop of Dromore, 7th Aug., 1783, says: " Before 
 Dr. Johnson went to Mr. Langton's at Rochester, he sat to Opie, the self-taught Cornish 
 painter, for his picture, who, I am told, has given a just, but no very flattering likeness of the 
 Doctor." (Nichol's Literary History of the 18th Century, vol. VII., 459.) 
 
 Sir Joshua Reynolds also painted the Doctor without his wig before 1770. His portrait 
 is in the Duke of Sutherland's Collection.

 shoulder. To the right, on a table, an open book.

 vehicle. He was a friend of Hogarth, and one of the famous water-party to Greenwich in 1732. 
 After a long and prosperous career in London, he retired to Bath, and died there of the gout.

 — STANLEY. 
 
 William, fifth Lord Byron, quarrelled with his cousin, William Chaworth, and killed him 
 in a quasi-duel in the " Star and Gaiter " Tavern, Pall Mall, in 1765 " After dinner, Lord Byron 
 called out to Chaworth : 4 Sir, I want to speak with you.' Leading the way out upon the 
 stairs and pointing to a room, he asked a waiter whether it was disengaged. Receiving an 
 affirmative answer, the two men went into it with nought but a tallow candle, and a dull fire 
 which burned in the grate. Chaworth shut the door and, turning, saw the other with his sword 
 drawn. 'Draw, sir,' shouted Byron. Chaworth did so and lunged at his opponent. His sword 
 became entangled in Byron's waistcoat and while thus for the moment disaimed, he was fatally 
 stabbed." Byron was tried for manslaughter and acquitted ; but was known for the rest of his 
 days as the "Wicked Lord Byron."

 Robes to Queen Charlotte, on her arrival. When the young Princess was met on landing by 
 the Duchess of Ancaster and the Duchess of Hamilton, she burst into tears, and asked them 
 whether such beauty as theirs was common in England ! Walpole, however, finds fault with 
 her grace of Ancaster for her ?ninanderies . Her son, the Duke of Ancaster, was engaged 
 to Walpole's niece Horatia, but died before the marriage took place.

 Z*//*r from Prof. RUSKIN Mr. BARRAUD. 
 
 Dear Mr. Barraud, S oth A P riL 
 
 We are all much more than pleased with these results of your extreme skill 
 and care ; they are the first photographs ever done of me that expressed what good 
 or character there is in me for my own work ; and as pure Photograph y they seem to 
 me to go as far as the art can at this day, and I do not believe it ever can do 
 much better. 
 
 The Portrait of the baby is also a rare success, both in your choice of action 
 and the precision of effect; it is extrem ely and singularly beautiful. I admit for 
 once — as you have managed to use it — the good of studio light ! But some day you 
 must please do one of me in open light, for the sake of fair play to the day and to 
 your own skill, which I am sure can conquer more difficulties than you have tried. 
 
 And so believe me always gratefully and faithfully yours, 
 
 Mr. Herbert R. Barraud. J. RUSKIN.

 The Morning Post says; The President of the Royal Society of British Artists proves that he can paint with his 
 pen, as well as with his brush ; and the latter portion of the book entitled ' Studies for Pictures ' shows that if his 
 canvas can depict the poetry of nature and art, his verse is no less instructive."

 * # * Also a LIMITED EDITION, bound in vellum. £4 14s. 6d. 
 The Times says — " Is a sumptuous volume, which must commend itself to art connoisseurs. . . . Indeed, his 
 subjects and his methods of treating them are so comprehensive that it would be difficult to exhaust them within any 
 
 reasonable limits The chapters on English art are followed up by sketches of foreign schools that are 
 
 necessarily more cursory. The volume closes with a delightful notice of collectors and collections, abounding in 
 historical anecdotes and reminiscences." 
 
 ILLUSTRATED BY TWENTY-FOUR FULL-PAGE PHOTOGRAVURES. 
 MEMOIR OF PETER DE WINT. By Walter Armstrong, B.A. Oxon, Author of

 Super Royal 4to. 31s. 6d. 
 
 The Times says — "Mr. Walter Armstrong's life of De Wint is a model biography in its way, and the 24 photo- 
 gravures with which the book is adorned illustrate in an admirable manner the different styles of this great artist. The 
 memoir reveals on every page the competent critic and the practised literary workman."

 A POPULAR HANDBOOK to the NATIONAL GALLERY. By Edward T. Cook. 
 
 With a Preface by John Ruskin, LL.D., and Notes Collected from his Works. 
 
 *** Also an Edition on large paper, limited to 250 copies. 2 vols. 8vo. 
 The Portfolio says — " A monumental guide which is likely to win a wide popularity with those to whom pictures 
 appeal mainly by their subject. It may be said at once that Mr. Cook has carried out the task he set himself very well 
 indeed. . . . He takes the schools as nearly as possible in their chronological order. To each he provides a short 
 and well-written introduction, and goes on to notice the works which belong to it in their order on the walls. . . Not 
 the least useful part of the Handbook is the Second Appendix. In a well-arranged table Mr. Cook gives the subject, 
 the painter, the provenance, and the price, of every picture ; thereby superseding the sheaf of Annual Reports to which 
 one has hitherto had to turn for these particulars."

 information respecting the seven great highways of England— the Bath, Exeter, Portsmouth, Brighton, Dover, York, 
 and Holyhead Roads. The illustrations, which are extremely numerous, are of much excellence."
