Her Majesty is the sister of the present King of Prussia, to whom, it is said, she is much attached.

He was selected by Her Majesty to officiate at the marriage of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales. 36, SIR JOHN LAWRENCE, in the costume of a Civil Commissioner Knight of the Bath, &c. It is generally acknowledged that to the great qualities of Sir John, as a statesman, united to coolness and courage, we owe the preservation of India, where, in the moment of need, he, by determination and perseverance, saved Havelock, and gave a turn to a . of affairs that had filled England with the prospect of losing the finest colony in the world. sº 37.

DISRAELI (taken in 1840), late Chancellor of the Exchequer, has long been recognized as one of the most talented Orators in the House of Commons. 57. LORD JOHN RUSSELL, in the costume of a minister. (Taken from life in 1840.) The celebrity and notoriety which Lord John Russell has acquired by his advocacy of liberal measures in Parliament, the popularity attached to his name, and the talent he possesses, are perhaps not to be exceeded. 58. HER, ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUCHESS OF KENT, in a full court dress. (Taken in 1852.) Victoria, Duchess of Kent, daughter of Francis, Duke of Saxe 10 MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS’ CATALOGUE.

At an early age, George had a commission in the Virginian militia, and in 1755 served as colonel under General Braddock, which command he resigned in 1758 on account of ill health. The memory of Washington is held in great veneration by all nations, as he wielded the power that Providence gave him for the good of his country. His character is summed up in the following, first in peace, jirst in war, and first in the hearts of his countrymen. He died December 14, 1799. 61, HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF WALES AND THE PRINCESS ROYAL, in their splendid cot, a fac-simile of the original at the Palace (Taken in 1842.)

JOHN BRIGHT, ESQ., M.P. The name of Bright is associated with that of Cobden, through whose indefatigable exertions the nation is iudebted for Free Trade; that is now acknowledged to have contributed to the happiness of the masses by providing them with abundant food at a cheap rate. Mr. Bright is member for Birmingham, and is acknowledged to be a most eloquent speaker. 63. RICHARD COBDEN, ESQ., M.P. for the West Riding of York, and formerly for Stockport, was born at Midhurst, Sussex, June 3, 1804. (Taken in 1846.)

(For Biography, see No. 154 in Catalogue. 68, FRANCIS I. OF FRANCE, in a cap-à-pié suit of the time, with the badge of the Virgin. Francis the First, Duke de Valois, succeeded his great uncle, Louis XII., whose virtues procured him the glorious title of “the father of his people.” Francis was the means of introducing science and art into France: he invited learned men to his court, conversed with them familiarly, employed them in business, elevated them to offices of dignity, and honoured them with his confidence. He encouraged architecture, introduced the style called after his name by historians, and was named “the father of letters.” 69, JOAN OF ARC, as represented at Versailles. Joan was born at the village of Tomrémy, near Waucoulours, on the borders of Lorraine. At the age of 27, being then a servant at an inn, and accustomed to laborious employment, she, by an extraordinary infatuation, conceived the idea of being actually inspired to destroy the English power in France, and convinced of the reality of her pretension, she had recourse to Baudicourt, governor of Vaucoulours, and informed him of her destination by Heaven to free her native country from its invaders, which was fulfilled. 70. A MAGNIFICENT FIGURE in armour representing CHARLEMAGNE equipped for battle. This splendid specimen of armour was specially manufactured by Monsieur Granger of Paris for the Great Exhibition of 1862, and obtained a medal.

Tussaud, in order that they might afford their patrons the pleasure of carefully inspecting this highly finished specimen of modern armour. 71, HENRY IV. OF FRANCE. Henry IV., called the Great, King of France and Navarre, was born at Pau, the capital of Berne, in 1553. In 1577 he succeeded to the throne of Navarre, and in 1589 to that of France; but previously to his coronation in 1593 he was obliged to abjure his religion. In 1595 he issued the famous Edict of Nantes, granting toleration to the Protestants, and in the same year commenced war against Spain, which terminated in 1598; after which, France enjoyed peace till his assassination by Ravaillac, May 14, 1610. 72, LOUIS XVI. OF FRANCE, in the costume of the Saint Esprit. This ill-fated monarch was born August 23, 1754, and was the son of Louis the Dauphin by his second wife, Maria Josephine of Saxony. After a long series of the most humiliating concessions and the most painful sacrifices, this once inighty monarch was condemned, January 17, 1793, by a crew of ruffian regicides, to die the death of a common malefactor. 73, MARIA ANTOINETTE, Queen of Louis XVI., in the costume of the period. This unfortunate princess, Maria Antoinette Josephine Jeanne, Archduchess of Austria, daughter of the Empress Queen Maria. Theresa, and sister to the Emperors Joseph II. and Leopold II., was born at Wiemma in 1755, and was married, May 16, 1770, to the Dauphin of France; by whose accession to the throne, May 10, 1774, she became Queen of France and Navarre, and was long the idol of the French nation; but the revolutionary frenzy hurled the beautiful, the once adored Queen from a throne to a dungeon, whence she was brought to trial on several charges, October 14, 1793. Two days afterwards she was conveyed to execution in a cart, like the meanest victim of the revolution, with her hands bound; and the guillotime terminated the sufferings of poor Maria Antoinette in the 38th year of her age. 74, THE DAUPHIN, in the dress usually worn at the period. Louis Charles, Son of Louis XVI., was born March 27, 1785, and in 1789 became, by the death of his elder brother, presumptive heir to the throne. He was imprisoned in the Temple with his unhappy parents, but died suddenly, March 25, 1795, it was strongly suspected by poison. 75. DUCHESS D’ANGOULEME was the unfortunate daughter of Louis XVI., who suffered imprisonment in the Temple, where she was treated with every indignity that heartless miscreamts could bestow. After the death of her parents she was exchanged by the Revolutionary tribunal for General Dumourier, and afterwards married her cousin, the Duke d’Angouleme. She passed her latter days in retirement in Germany. 76, VOLTAIRE, in ancient costume. (Taken from life two months before his death.) Marie-François-Arouet De Voltaire was born at Paris, 1694. He was intended for the law, but preferred the Muses. In 1719 he was imprisoned nearly a year in the Bastille for lampooning the administration, and in 1726 was again confined for six months in the same prison. Voltaire was a voluminous author, and may be considered as one of the chief of those writers whose works prepared the public mind for the Revolution. 77. A COQUETTE, in the dress usually worn by ladies at the period. (Taken from life.) We have read of a young man having become enamoured of a statue: we caution young gentlemen to beware that the same does not happen to them while gazing on the charms of the interesting Madame Sappe. 78. HENRY VIII. (For Biography, see No. 166 in Catalogue.) 79. CATHARINE OF ARRAGON. (For Biography, see No. 167 in Catalogue.) 80, ANNE BOLEYNE. (For Biography, see No. 168 in Catalogue.) 81.

CATHERINE PARR. (For Biography, see No. 172 in Catalogue.) 85. EDWARD VI. (For Biography, see No. 173 in Catalogue.) . WOLSEY, in the dress of a Cardinal. Wolsey was born at Ipswich in March, 1471, and became a student at so early an age as to enable him to take the degree of B.A. when only fourteen years of age. By his unwearied perseverance in literature he attained such celebrity as to become the special favourite of Henry VIII., when he rose to the highest position in the state, eclipsing his master in splendour and expensiveness; he built Hampton-court Palace, and kept a retinue of eight hundred persons. He died as his persecutors were dragging him towards London, at the Abbey of Leicester, Nov. 18, 1530. 87. THE LATE GENERAL HAVELOCK, in the uniform of a British General, wearing the Order of the Bath, &c., was a native of Bishop Wearmouth, near Sunderland. 12 MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS’ CATALOGUE. At an early age he entered the army, and was always distinguished as a soldier of no ordinary merit. On the breaking out of the Indian rebellion, he defeated the execrable Nana Sahib in nine actions; and to crown all, his heroic defence of Lucknow, where he and his brave companions endured hardships beyond belief, displayed bravery rarely equalled. He was finally relieved by Sir Colin Campbell, but died from fatigue and excite- ment, lamented by his country, who saw in him a hero. 88. LORD CLYDE, in the uniform of a British General, Lord Clyde is a native of Scotland, a land celebrated for a long line of heroes. He displayed great bravery when in command of the Scotch division at the Alma, and his coolness in the terrible charge was the admiration of the Allied Armies. Her Majesty rewarded him with the Peerage for his heroic bravery. He died lamented by the nation, as his bravery in the relief of Lucknow will descend to future generations. 89, SHAKSPERE, from the Chandos portrait, in the costume usually worn at the period. William Shakspere, the pride of the English stage, was born at Stratford-upon-Avon, 1564. It does not appear that he acquired much classical knowledge in his youth, his father having taken him early from the grammar-school at Stratford, to follow his business as a dealer in wool. But the poet's genius soared above every dis- advantage; and his works will live as long as taste irradiates the country which had the honour of giving him birth. 90. LORD BROUGHAM. (Taken in 1836.) Henry Lord Brougham is the eldest Son of a gentleman of small fortune, but of ancient family, in the county of Westmorland; his mother was the daughter of a Scotch clergyman, in the abode of whose widow Lord Brougham's father lodged when prosecuting his studies at Edinburgh, in which city, it is said, Lord Brougham was born. His lordship had, we believe, a patent claim as heir- general to the barony of Vaux, and hence his creation by that title. Lord Brougham was first returned to Parliament for Camelford, afterwards for Winchelsea, then for Knares- borough, and lastly for Yorkshire. 91, SIR FRANCIS BURDETT. Born in Derbyshire, 1771; educated at Westminster School and Oxford. When he left College he made the tour of Switzerland and France, and had an opportunity of witnessing the first movements of the French revolution. Whilst in Paris he became acquainted with the family of Mr. Coutts, the youngest of whom, Sophia, he married in 1793, and by her he had a numerous family. 92, , DANIEL O'CONNELL, “The Liberator,” as usually called by his country- men, was born at Derrymane Abbey, county of Kerry, in 1775. In 1828 he was elected member for the county of Clare : this paved the way for Catholic emancipation, which shortly afterwards followed, conceded by a small majority. His health being much enfeebled he was advised a change of air, and on his way to visit the tombs of the Apostles he died at Genoa, in his 72nd year, at the Hotel Feder, May 15, 1847, leaving his heart to Rome, and his body to Ireland. 93. PIUS IX. (Taken in 1847.) His Holiness Pius IX., the descendant of a noble family, was born at Sinigaglia, in the Romagna, May 13, 1792. After receiving an education suitable to his high rank, he entered the Garde Noble, bnt soon after left it to enter the church, of which he became one of its brightest ornaments. Cardinal Feretti was raised to his present dignity June 12, 1846, to the great joy of the Romans; but the fury of the revolutionary mania compelled him, in 1848, to quit his capital, to which he was, with much difficulty, induced to return after an absence of two years. 94, HIS EMINENCE CARDINAL ANTONELLI, in the usual costume worn at Rome. His Eminence has filled the important post of Secretary of State to His Holiness Pope Pius IX. for several years. 95. HIS EMINENCE CARDINAL WISEMAN. (Taken in 1850.) Nicholas Wiseman is a native of Spain, of English parents. At an early age he showed those astonishing talents for which he is distinguished. He has held the highest honours in the Catholic church, and has lately had the dignity of Cardinal conferred on him by Pope Pius IX. 96. WILLIAM PENN, the illustrious founder of Pennsylvania. The annals of history, so meagre in the lives of truly great men, have not hesitated to place the name of Penn in the highest niche of fame. He was not only a great statesman, but from his love of truth, from which he never deviated, he won the affections and respect of the Indians, with Whom he lived in continued peace, having made a treaty with them that was never violated. 97, JOHN WYCLIFFE &as born in 1324, was the precursor of the Reformation, and died in 1385, at his rectory at Lutterworth. His pulpit is still to be seen there. He was buried in his own church, where his bones were suffered to rest till 1428, when they were taken up and destroyed. *—. MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS’ CATALOGUE. 13 98, SIR WALTER SCOTT, in a Scotch dress. Taken from life, 1828. Sir Walter was born in Edinburgh, August 15, 1771. In 1820, Sir Walter was created a baronet by George IV., as a testimony of favour and friendship. In the summer of 1832, he was seized with paralysis, of which he died at Abbotsford, Sept. 21, 1832. 99, MR. LISTON, in the character of Paul Pry. This incomparable professor of the mimic art was born in 1776, in the parish of St. Anne, Soho.

(Taken from life; the attitude, &c., from Harlowe's celebrated picture of the Trial Scene, in Shakspere’s play of Henry VIII.) This admired actress was sister to Mr. Kemble. She made her public essay as a singer, but soon abandoned vocal pursuits and turned her attention to tragedy, in which she displayed powers that speedily raised her fame and opulence. She died in 1831. 101. HIS MAJESTY THE KING OF NAPLES, Francis II. in his undress uniform. Succeeded his father Ferdinand II. Fertile as the present period has been in extraordinary events, we know of nothing surpassing his dethronement, which came to pass by the indomitable courage of Garibaldi, who seems destined by Providence to bring about the unity of Italy under the constitutional sceptre of the King of Sardinia. 102, COUNT CAVOUR, late Minister of State for the new kingdom of Italy. Count Cavour was long considered the moving power of the great revolution that has caused Sardinia to become from a small kingdom of three millions to one of twenty-two millions of Italians. That his talent was transcendently great as a statesman and diplo- matist, there can be no doubt: all Europe joining in that belief. He died from over- exertion, in his aspirations on behalf of his king and country, in 1861. 103. GARIBALDI, wearing his celebrated grey cloak. Garibaldi is a native of Nice: at an early age he embraced a seafaring life, and displayed considerable bravery during the South American Revolutions; on the French entering Italy he raised a considerable force, and harassed the Austrians during their retreat before the French. He is considered to be a fine soldier; and that he serves his country for the pure love of freedom, wishing to see her great and united; for which purpose he has taken for his model the Constitutional State of Sardinia. 104, BARON POERIO, usually called the Neapolitan exile. The late King of Naples had promised his people a Constitution similar to our own, but, not having kept his promise, a revolution broke out, and the Baron and many others were imprisoned, loaded with fetters, and kept for many years in a dreadful dungeon near Naples, where they endured the greatest hardships. The Baron and his companions were at length liberated, on condition of going to America; but, on the voyage, they compelled the captain to steer for Ireland, and landed at Cork, where they were well received. 105. LOUSHKIN, the Russian Giant; the tallest man that has lived in modern days, measuring 8 feet 5 inches high. Dressed in his military costume as drum-major of the imperial regiment of guards, Préobrajenskéy. 106, Mr. LINCOLN, PRESIDENT OF AMERICA. Is a native ef Kentucky, born of humble parents; he has gone through all the vicissitudes peculiar to that great and free country; he has been successively a boatman, a farmer, and a merchant; after educating himself he studied the law, and became eminent at the bar, and to crown all, after holding various appointments in the State, was elected to hold the reigns of government as President of that mighty Republic, America, where every philanthropist must earnestly hope that Providence may incline his heart to avert war and bring back peace. 107. Mr. SLIDELL, Mr. Slidell, the Commissioner to France, was born in the city of New York, and the date of his birth also belongs to the last century. At a com- paratively late period of life he commenced the study of the law, and having formally embraced the legal profession, he removed to New Orleans, where he practised with great success, and accumulated a large fortune by the exercise of his ability and industry, which, combined with great energy of character, have always caused him to hold a prominent position in public life. 108, PRESIDENT DAVIS. Elected by the people of the Confederate States of America to be their chief. He has for a period of upwards of three years baffled all the efforts of the North to subdue the South, the Southerners having displayed courage and spirit equal to the ancient Greeks. 109, GENERAL Mc’CLELLAN, late General-in-Chief of the Federal Army, in the American uniform. The American war, so much regretted by all European nations— *, 14 MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS’ CATALOGUE. whose various peoples have been so well received and protected by the great Republic— whose immense armies have excited the astonishment of everyone—found General Mc’Clellan as its chief a short time after the commencement of the war, where he had many opportu- mities of displaying considerable military talent, which he did to the satisfaction of his countrymen; but fortune not having been propitious in every battle, he was removed from the command. 110, C. MACREADY, Esq., as Coriolanus, in the most splendid Roman costume ever seen in this country. (Taken in 1840.) This distinguished tragedian was born in London, March, 1793. He retired from the stage in 1851, to the great regret of his numerous admirers. * * 111, WILLIAM CAXTON was born in 1410, and died 1491. He introduced the printing press into England; it was afterwards erected in Westminster Abbey in 1473. The first work printed in this country was called “Ye Game and Playe of Chesse,” A.D. 1474. The art of printing was introduced into Scotland in 1508, and into Ireland in 1551. 112, THE KING AND QUEEN OF HANOVER. His Majesty, wearing the star and ribbon of the Guelphs, was the only son of the late Duke of Cumberland, fifth son of George III. His father succeeded to the throne of Hanover on the death of William IV., which event separated the two thrones. His Majesty, at an early age, was afflicted with blindness, which baffled the medical art. His Majesty married a German princess, by whom he has several children. He is much beloved by his subjects. 113. JOHN KNOX, in the costume of the day. John Knox was born in East Lothian in 1505, in the small town of Haddington; in the grammar school of which he received the rudiments of his education, his parents being of lumble rank: he afterwards studied at St. Andrew's with great credit to himself, and in 1542 he openly avowed his adherence to the Reformed Church, which, after a variety of difficulties, he established in Scotland. He died at Edinburgh, 1572. 114, JOHN CALVIN, in a clerical dress. John Cauvin, afterwards called Calvin, was born of humble parents, July 10, 1509, his father following the trade of a cooper at Noyon, in Picardy. Calvin is regarded as the head of the Reformed Church: having suffered persecution in every shape, he lived to see his opinions embraced by thousands. He died May 27, 1564. 115. MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS. This unfortunate princess was a daughter of James V., King of Scotland, and was born in 1542. By the decease of her father, she became Queen when only eight days old. In 1559, she was married to Francis, Dauphin of France, who in 1562 became King of France, and two years afterwards left Mary a widow. She was next married to the Earl of Darnley, but the union was productive of great unhappiness. 116. J.ORD DARNLEY, second husband of Mary Queen of Scots, was basely murdered in the Canongate, Edinburgh, the house in which he slept having been blown up by gunpowder. Bothwell, who afterwards forced the Queen to marry him, was the supposed assassin. - 117, MARTIN LUTHER. The costume from an original statue. Martin Luther was born in 1483, at Eisleben, in Saxony, and died there in 1546, in the 63rd year of his age. When 18, he entered the University of Erfurt, and, notwithstanding the efforts of his friends, joined the Augustinian friars. In 1523, Luther threw off the cowl and commenced the Reformation. 118. HER, ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCESS ROYAL, in a beautiful court dress. Born November 21, 1840; married to his Royal Highness Prince Frederick of Prussia, January, 1858. 119. H. R. H. THE PRINCE OF PRUSSIA in uniform, wearing the Star of the Black Eagle. His Royal Highness having been honoured with the hand of the Princess Royal of England, received the highest mark of approbation that could be con- ferred on mortal. His Royal Highness is now heir to the crown. * 120. THE REW. JOHN WESLEY, as a Master of Arts. (From an authentic picture, taken at the age of 70.) The celebrated John Wesley, son of the Rev. Samuel Wesley, was born at Epworth, in 1703. He was educated at the Charterhouse, thence removed to Oxford, and in 1726 was chosen a fellow of Lincoln College. In 1730, Mr. John Wesley, his brother Charles, and a few other students, associating for the purpose of religious improvement, their society attracted public notice, and they obtained the name of Methodists, an appellation which has ever since attached to their followers. 121, RICHARD III.

He was distinguished for his piety, love of learning, and taste for architecture; he built a great portion of Windsor Castle. 131. HENRY W. (For Biography, see No. 159 in Catalogue.) 132, CHARLES KEAN, ESQ., in the character of Macbeth. The high talent displayed by Mr. Kean, not only in the classical characters of Shakspere, but in having put on the stage pieces so inimitably got up, as to leave all competition at a distance. . A French writer, well versed on the subject, declares that nothing equal to the mise-en-scène of Macbeth had ever been seen in Paris. - 133. GEORFREY CHAUCER, styled the father of English literature, was born in 1328, and died in 1400, at the advanced age of 72. So much was Chaucer held in the estimation of Edward III. that that monarch granted him an annuity of 20 marks by the title of “Valettus noster,”—our Yeoman. His greatest work was the “Canterbury Tales.” -- 134, COMMISSIONER LIN AND HIS FAVOURITE CONSORT. (Modelled expressly for this Exhibition by the celebrated Lamgua from life, through the instru- mentality of a gentleman a resident of Canton.) It will be recollected that Lin was chosen by the Emperor to prohibit the opium trade, and in consequence destroyed property to the amount of two millions sterling, belonging to British merchants, which may be regarded as the origin of the war. 135, DR. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, born of humble parents in the United States of America, but of English origin, who, by his own unaided talent and industry, rose to the highest position a man can hope to attain—the good opinion of his fellow-man. He is usually known as the workman’s friend, having written various works on the improvement of the human mind. 136, THE ARTIST. (Taken by herself.) Madame Tussaud was a native of Berne in Switzerland: at the age of six years she was sent to Paris to be placed under the care of her uncle, M. Curtius, artist to Louis XVI., by whom she was instructed in the fine arts, of which he was an eminent professor. Madame Tussaud had the honour of instructing Madame Elizabeth to draw and model, and was employed by that amiable princess until October, 1789. In 1802 she left France, and from that period exhibited her collection of figures in the principal cities and towns of Great Britain and Ireland, and for twenty years in London, eighteen of which she passed in the Bazaar, Baker-street, Portman-square, where her sole desire, to the last moments of her existence, was to endeavour to deserve the approbation so kindly bestowed on her by all classes for so long a period, having passed mearly fifty years in Great Britain. Full of gratitude, and in the hope of another and a better world, she died April 15, 1850, aged 90 years, leaving two sons and several grandchildren. Madame St. Amaranthe on a Couch, Madame Tussaud at the head of it. 137. MADAME ST. AMARANTHE. (Taken from life a few months before her execution.) Madame St. Amaranthe was the widow of a lieutenant-colonel of the body- guard of Louis XVI., who was killed in the attack on the Tuilleries, August 10, 1792. She was one of the most lovely women in France, and Robespierre endeavoured to persuade her to become his mistress; but being virtuous as she was beautiful, she rejected his solicitations with indignation. Robespierre, who never wanted a pretext for destroying any one who had offended him, brought Madame St. Amaranthe before the Revolutionary Tribunal, and at the age of 22 this victim to virtue was hurried into eternity. 138. WILLIAM COBBETT, in the style of dress worn by him. William Cobbett was born of humble parents, and by his own unaided efforts raised himself to the highest station as a political character. On the passing of the Reform Bill, he became Member for , Oldham, in Lancashire, which he represented until his death, June 18, 1835, aged 73. * 16 MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS CATALOGUE. HALL OF KINGS, KINGS AND QUEENS OF ENGLAND SINCE THE CONQUEST. The MESSRS. TUSSAUD have the pleasure to state that they have completed the line of British kings and queens from the Conqueror to Queen Victoria, 36 in number; but in consequence of want of sufficient space, they have not been able to arrange the whole as they intended, in chronological order; but they have placed the sovereigns in regular succession in this catalogue, so as to serve as a reference for young per- soms, which will greatly assist their memories. The portrait models, costumes, orna- ments, as worn at the various periods, have been copied after careful research, from old English manuscripts, &c., &c., by Mr. Francis Tussaud and assistants. 139, WILLIAM OF NORMANDY, surnamed the Conqueror, from having gained the great battle of Hastings, at which place he landed, with the intention of compelling Harold, who had previously sworn to yield to him the throne of England. The English displayed prodigies of valour; William's horse was killed under him; and in a moment his followers were thrown into confusion, as the cry was raised that he was slain ; 1 ot, hastily remount- ing, he unbuckled his helmet and dashed along the line with his lead uncovered, exclaiming “I am not dead, and with God’s help I shall yet conquer.” The struggle went on without any decided advantage on either side. Harold had fought with heroic courage; his two brothers had fallen by his side; but still his voice and example animated his men, and none dreamt of yielding so long as he was at their head; but, about sunset, the English missed their king; an arrow, shot at random, had pierced his eye, and he had fallen dead without a struggle. Disheartened, and without a leader, the English ranks broke at last, and, at nightfall, William found himself in the undisputed possession of the bloody field, on which the fate of the English people had been decided The great battle of Hastings was fought on the 14th of October 1066; within two months from that time the whole country had submitted to the Conqueror and William of Normandy had been crowned King of England, at Westminster. It may seem strange that one victory should have subdued a nation; but the flower of the English nobles had fallen at Hastings, and the people were without a leader. William was of a cruel disposition, and ruled the English with an iron hand. He introduced the Curfew bell, when, as signal, at eight o'clock, every light and fire were extinguished, No Englishman was suffered to hold any office, whether in Church or State; and even the English language was forbidden in the courts of law, and the Norman French was introduced, and used instead. William was a man of stately and noble bearing, and had prodigious strength. Enraged by an idle jest of the King of France, he entered the French territory, and set fire to every town and village he came to, and, amongst others, to the city of Nantes. Riding out to view the scene, his horse trod on the burning embers, and plunging violently, so injured his rider that they carried him back to Rouen in a dying state. He lingered six weeks, and the thought of his many crimes seems to have touched him with a deep contrition. They buried him at Caen, in Normandy. He left three sons; to Robert the eldest, he left Normandy, while he named William to succeed him to the hrone of England, leaving to his son Henry 5,000 marks. 140, MATILDA, daughter of Baldwin, Earl of Flanders, and wife of William the Conqueror. William having heard of Matilda’s beauty, determined on the offer of his hand, which she refused. This so infuriated William, that he waylaid her in the streets of Bruges, as she was returning with her ladies from mass, beat her, rolled her in the mud, spoiled her rich array, and then rode off at full speed. This Teutonic mode of courtship in ought the matter to a favourable crisis, for Matilda, being convinced of William's passion by the violence of his behaviour, or afraid of encountering a second beating, consented to become his wife. 141, WILLIAM II., surnamed Rufus, or the Red, having red hair, in the costume of the period. William, second son of the Conqueror, ascended the throne by his father's will, to the exclusion of his elder brother Robert, to whom he gave Normandy. William MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS CATALOGUE. 17 was born in Normandy, A.D. 1057, crowned at Westminster, and reigned thirteen years. He was never married. He was killed, whilst hunting in the New Forest, by Sir Walter Tyrrell, by accident. He was courageous, intemperate, and covetous. He treated the English very cruelly, and kept the revenues of the church for his own use. 142. HENRY I., surnamed Beauclerc, or the Scholar, in a magnificent suit of mail. Henry, the youngest son of the Conqueror, seized on the vacant throne; Robert, who was then in Normandy, being thus, a second time, deprived of his hereditary right. Henry was born at Selby, in Yorkshire, A.D. 1070, crowned at Westminster, and reigned thirty-five years. He married Matilda, daughter of Malcolm III. of Scotland, and neice of Edgar Atheling; thus uniting the Norman and Saxon interests. He was handsome, brave, accomplished, and fond of literature; but avaricious, cruel, and violent. He acquired the name of Beauclerc, from translating Æsop's Fables. - 143, KING STEPHEN was a grandson of the Conqueror, being the second son of Stephen, Earl of Blois, by Adela, daughter of William I. He was born at Blois A.D. 1105, crowned at Westminster, and reigned from 1135 to 1154, having married Matilda, daughter of Eustace, Count of Boulogne. He had issue, Eustace, William, and other children, none of whom survived him. He was of great courage, fortitude, and activity; and although engaged in scenes of tumult, not a single act of violence or oppression is recorded of him. Stephen, after his defeat at Lincoln, was imprisoned in Bristol Castle. Matilda, his niece, was crowned at Winchester, but her conduct displeased the nation; she was compelled to takerefuge in Normandy, and Stephen re-mounted the throne. After a short illness, he died at Dover, and was buried near his wife in Faversham Abbey, Kent, which he had founded. NORMANS AND SAXONS, 144. (Line of Plantagenet). HENRY II., surnamed Curt, or Shortmantle, in the costume of the period. He was the eldest son of Godfrey, son of Plantagenet, Count of Anjou, by Matilda, daughter of Henry I. He was born at Mans, in Normandy, A.D. 1133, and crowned three times, at Westminster, Lincoln, and Worcester, having reigned from 1154 to 1189. The mame of Plantagenet is derived from the crest of the family, which was a bunch of broom. He married Eleanor, daughter of Duke Aquitaine. He had issue William, who died an infant; Henry, who married Margaret, daughter of Louis VII.; Geoffrey, killed at a tournament in Paris; Richard and John, both of whom succeeded to the throne in turn; and three daughters, Maud, the eldest, married Henry, Duke of Saxony; she became the ancestress of George I. and through him the present Hanoverian dynasty. Overwhelmed with grief at the ingratitude of his children, he died of a broken heart in the church of Chinon, in Normandy. His mercenary attendants stripped his body and left it in the church, but it was afterwards buried at Fontevrand, in Anjou. He was qualified to shine in the triple capacity of Politician, Legislator, and Warrior. He was a great encourager of trade and commerce. 145, RICHARD I., surnamed Coeur de Lion, wearing a coat of chain mail. Richard was of large stature, and possessed of great strength, born in the year 1167, crowned September 3rd, 1189. . In 1191 he married Berengeria, who was styled by the troubadours “the Fair Flower of Navarre; ” she was a damsel of the greatest prudence and accomplished manners. Richard was completely victorious in his crusade to the Holy Land, having, at the combat with Saladin, on the very onset sent his spear completely through the shield of his adversary, and thrown him with his heels in the air to a distance on the plain. Richard returning home from the Holy Land in the habit of a minstrel in Almayne, was apprehended as a spy by the King, and thrown into prison. Wardrewe, the King’s son, hearing of Richard’s great strength, desires the jailor to let him have a sight of his prisoners. Richard being the foremost, Wardrewe asks him “If he dare stand a buffet from his hand?” and that on the morrow he should return him another. Richard consents and receives a blow which staggers him. On the morrow, having previously waxed his hands, he waits his antagonist’s arrival, when Richard gave him such a blow on the cheek as broke his jaw-bone, and killed him on the spot. Richard reigned nine years and nine months, and was killed by a wound from an arrow at the siege o. Chaluz, April 6th, 1199, in the forty-first year of his age, and was buried at Fontevrault. 146. BERENGERIA, in the costume of the period. Celebrated for her beauty and accomplishments, was the daughter of Sanches, Kiug of Navarre. Richard fell in love with her, and was married on the festival of St. Pancras, at Limoyin. She was a damsel of great prudence and most accomplished manners. The king was glorious on the happy occasion, being cheerful to all, and showed himself very jocose and affable. B T8 MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS’ CATALOGUE. 147, KING JOHN, dressed in appropriate costume, taken from ancient manuscript. King John, surnamed Lackland, was born in the year 1167, and crowned the 27th of May, 1199. The king greatly staimed his character by the murder of Prince Arthur. Having endeavoured to procure his assassination by his servants in vain, John himself stabbed him with his own hands, and fastening a stone to the dead body, threw it into the Seine. Afterwards being pressed by his barons, who leagued against him, he was compelled to sign Magna Charta, or the Great Charter, which is considered the foundation of English liberty. John’s reign was marked by cruelty and rapacity, and by the cold-blooded murders of his nephew and Peter the Hermit of Pomfret. He died in the year 1216, at Newark, it is supposed by poison, in the forty-ninth year of his age, and was buried at Worcester. 148. HENRY III., dressed in the costume of the period. Henry was born in the year 1216, and reigned 56 years. He was gentle and credulous, warm in his attachments, and forgiving in his enmities, without vices, but also without energy; he was a good man, and a weak monarch. Henry married, on the 4th January, 1236, Eleanor of Provence, who had scarcely completed her fourteenth year. He died at Westminster, the 16th November, 1272, of matural decay, in the sixty-sixth year of his age; his body was interred in the shrine of Edward the Confessor, in the Abbey Church of Westminster, where his tomb is still to be seen. 149, EDWARD I., in the costume of the period, surnamed Longshanks. Born 1239; crowned 1274; reigned 34 years; died July, 1307, at Bury-upon-the-Sands, in Cumberland, in the 69th year of his age, and buried at Westminster. His character was cruel, but brave and warlike. He conquered Wales, and added it to England. He also conquered Scotland, and such was his determination to subdue it that he left a dying order to his son to have his bones carried in procession at the head of the battle every time that the Scotch attempted to rebel against England, and to carry fire and sword into the country till its final subjection. Edward was the first king of England that quartered the arms of England ºnd France, and the first sovereign that was called Lord of Ireland on his coin. He was ºuch attached to his queen Eleanor, whose son was the first Prince of Wales. At her l eath, at Hornby, in Lincolnshire, he caused crosses to be erected at each place where her corpse rested, namely Waltham, St. Albans, Dunstable, &c., and Charing Cross, which derived its name from the French words Chère Reine (dear queen), in the French dialect, which, at that time, was general at court. During this reign a proclamation was issued forbiding the use of coals as a public nuisance. 150, EDWARD II., surnamed Carnarvon. He was the eldest son of Edward I., and was the first Prince of Wales; he was born at Carnarvon in 1284, was crowned at Westminster, and reigned twenty years. He married the daughter of the King of France, Phillipe IV., and had issue, two sons and one daughter. Regardless of the dying request of his father he discontinued the war in the North, and the Scotch recovered the towns they had lost. He afterwards renewed the war when too late, and was totally routed at Bannockburn by Robert Bruce. His fondness for favourites disgusted his Queen and the nobility, who drove Edward into Wales, where he was seized by the Earl of Leicester, and imprisoned in Kenilworth Castle; he was afterwards removed to Berkeley Castle, where he was cruelly murdered by order of his Queen, 1327. Bdward was the first King deposed by his subjects. 151, ISABELLA, wife of Edward II., surnamed Le Bel or the handsome, in the costume of the period, was the daughter of Philip IV. of France. Her brother Charles the Fair, gave her as her portion Guienne. Not agreeing with her husband the king in disposition, she formed an intercourse with Le Despencer, whom she admitted to pay his court. The graces of his person and address advanced him quickly in her affections. He became her confidant and councillor, and gaining ground daily upon her heart, he engaged \er at last to sacrifice to her passion all the sentiments of honour and fidelity to the husband. 152. EDWARD III., in the costume of the period. This monarch was the eldest son of Edward II.; he was born at Windsor, in 1312, crowned at Westminster, and reigned from 1327 to 1377. He married Philippa, daughter of William Earl of Hainault, Holland, by whom he had seven children, the eldest, afterwards celebrated as the Black Prince. Edward claimed the crown of France in right of his mother Isabella, daughter, of Phillip IV. of France, which led to much bloodshed. He instituted the Order of the Garter in 1349, and died of a broken heart for the loss of his son the Black Prince. Oil painting was invented by John Van Eyek, gunpowder and great guns by a monk at Cologne, and paper invented during his reign. *. MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS’ CATALOGUE. I9 153. PHILIPPA, queen of Edward the III, in the costume of the period, wearing the girdle of the Order of Knighthood conferred on her for her bravery on the field of battle against the Scotch, whose king, David, she took prisoner, October 17, 1346, when thirty thousand Scotch and fifteen thousand English were slain. She gained unperishable fame for her humanity, having saved the lives of ten of the principal citizens of Calais who were on the point of being put to death by her husband, the King. 154, EDWARD, usually called the Black Prince, born 1330, died 1376; in the magnificent costume of the period. The King, his father, having invaded France to regain the crown that he claimed in right of his mother, Isabella, Edward displayed extraordinary valour, and at the battle of Cressy, with a small force, he defeated the French, and took their King, John, prisoner, which, with King David, of Scotland, made two Kings captives in London. A large ransom having been demanded for John, he was permitted to return to France to raise the money, but failing to do so he returned to England and surrendered himself up. He died at the Palace of Savoy, Strand, which, at that period, abounded with gentlemens’ houses and parks. The motto chosen by Edward was ICH DIEN (I serve), the words on the helmet of the blind King of Bohemia, who fought on the side of the French at Cressy, and was taken prisoner. |FROISSART. C 169, he was “styled black by the terror of his arms.” - MEYRICK, Vol. II. “this title does not appear to have originated as generally supposed from his wearing black armour, nor is there anything to shew he ever wore such at all.” SHAW, Vol. I., Plate 31, coloured in facsimile, from a picture on the wall of St. Stephen’s Chapel, Westminster, depicts the Black Prince in gilt armour. STOTHAND, in alluding to the Tomb of the Black Prince at Canterbury, says, “the effigy is of copper, gilt.” BLANCHE, in his “ British Costume,” says, “the story of Edward being called the Black Prince from the colour of his armour has already been exploded by Sir Samuel Meyrick.” “The first mention of Edward the Black Prince in England occurs in a Parliamentary Paper of the second year of the reign of Richard II.” MSS., Nero, DWII, British Museum, has an illumination of Edward III., granting the Duchy of Aquitaine to the Black Prince, both figures being in silver armour with gilt joints. staurº his “Antiquities of England,” says “for his martial deeds surnamed Black the ince.” THE WARS OF THE ROSES originated in the rival claims of the descendant of the second son of Edward III. against those of the Duke of Lancaster, the third son of Edward III. The white and red roses which the factions had assumed for their badges, soon began to be seen on the caps of their several retainers, which shortly afterwards broke into a civil war between the houses of York and Lancaster, which lasted 30 years, was signalised by twelve pitched battles, which nearly annihilated the old nobility, and cost the lives of two kings, one prince, ten dukes, two marquesses, twenty-one earls, twenty-seven lords, two viscounts, one judge, one hundred and thirty knights, and nearly 100,090 soldiers. 155. RICHARD II., son of the Black Prince, was born at Bordeaux, 1367. He was murdered at Pontefract Castle, Yorkshire, 13 , having reigned 22 years. During his reign the memorable insurrection of Wat Tyler was raised. Cards were invented, peers were first created by patent, and Westminster Hall was built. Richard was vain, frivo- lous and inconsistent, and a dupe to flattery. He married Amn of Luxembourg, at whose death he espoused Isabella of Valois, daughter of Charles VI. of France. William of Wykeham, chancellor and bishop of Winchester, founder of Winchester School and of New College, Oxford, flourished during this reign. * 156, ISABELLA OF WALOIS. Isabella, second wife of Richard II., was the daughter of Charles VI. of France. Richard had no children by either wife. Isabella joined with her husband in great extravagance. She had 300 women in her service; the king valued himself in surpassing all the sovereigns of Europe in splendour, and, it is said, entertained 10,000 persons daily. In his kitchen alone 300 persons were employed, which foolish vanity being very chargeable to his subjects, drew upon the king and queen the aversion of their people, which, added to the seizure of the estates of the Duke of Lancaster, caused general indignation, and afterwards led to the deposition of both. BIOUSE OF LAN CASTER, 157, HENRY IV., surnamed Bolingbroke. He was the grandson of Edward III., and eldest son of John of Gaunt. He was born at Bolingbroke in Lincolnshire, A.D. 1367, crowned at Westminster, and reigned from 1899 to 1413. He married first Mary de Bohun, and afterwards Joan, daughter of the King of Navarre. Worn out by the re- verses of fortune, and broken-hearted with grief, he died suddenly in the Jerusalem B 2 20 MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS’ CATALOGUE. Chamber at Westminster, March 20th, 1413, and was buried at Canterbury. He was bold, Superstitious and parsimonious. His dread of being deposed made him unhappy, and often led him into severities. He was the first king who burned persons on account of their religious opinions; this is a great blot on his memory. The Order of the Bath was insti- tuted at the coronation of Henry IV. It was so called from the rule of the order to bathe themselves as a token that they were pure and loyal to their king. Cammon first used at the siege of “Berwick.” In this reign flourished the celebrated Sir Richard Whittington, thrice Lord Mayor of London; Guildhall rebuilt as it now stands. 158. QUEEN JOAN OF NAVARRE, in the costume of the period. She was the second wife of Henry IV., and previously had been married to the Duke of Bretagne. She had no children by the king; she was the daughter of the Ring of Navarre, and was much admired for her beauty. 159, HENRY V., surnamed Monmouth, in the costume of the period. Henry was born at Monmouth, in 1388, was crowned at Westminster, and reigned 9% years. He married Catherine, daughter of Charles VI. of France, and had issue, one son, HENRY. He invaded France at Harfleur, and gained, with consummate skill and prudence, the famous battle of Agincourt, in which the French lost 1000 killed and 14,000 prisoners. In 1417 Henry again invaded France, and took several towns. Iły the treaty of Troyes it was agreed that Henry should be Regent of France during the life of Charles VI., and, at his death, England and France should be under one crown, but governed by their own laws. In 1422, Henry, with his Queen and infant son, made his entry into Paris. The magnificence of the sight amused the Parisians, though they did not stifle their discontent at their yoke of bondage. He died suddenly, March 2, 1423, in the 34th year of his age, and was buried at Westminster. In this reign linen shirts were thought a great luxury. A lighted candle, in a lantern, was ordered to be placed at every door in the city during the winter months, from which arose the custom of lighting streets. - 160. HENRY WI., only son of Henry V., succeeded his father when mine months old, his uncle Humphrey being Protector. He was born at Windsor, in 1421, crowned King of England and France at Westminster, and reigned nearly 39 years. Married to Margaret of Anjou. During this reign Charles VII., through the superhuman exertions of Joan of Arc, called the Maid of Orleans, regained the full possession of his kingdom. This heroic female afterwards fell into the hands of the English, and is said, to their lasting shame, to have been burned as a witch at the age of 29, at Rouen, 1431. The first Tord Mayor's show was established in this reign. The National Debt, or money lent to the Government on security, was commenced in this reign. 16], MARGARET OF ANJOU, in the costume of the period. This heroic woman, whose name bears so distinguished a place in the annals of England, was the daughter of Rène, titular King of Sicily, and niece to the Queen of France. She is described by con- temporary chroniclers as possessing rare perfections, alike of mind and body. Courageous, enterprising and reflective, she was born for dominion, and although extraordinary reverses and misfortunes attended her eventful life, she never for an instant quailed or forgot her high estate; but equally great in power and in sorrow, maintained to the last her dearly bought title of the lſeroine of Anjou, England’s warrior-queen. She boldly took upon her- self the care of the state, and supplied, by her energy and talent, the qualities which were wanting in her husband. * HOUSE OF YORK, 162. EDWARD IV.

He was the eldest son of Richard Duke of York, and was born at Rouen, in France, 1443, crowned at Westminster, and reigned 22 years. He espoused Lady Elizabeth Grey, whose father was slain at the battle of St. Albans. This is the second instance since the Conquest of an English king having married a subject. He possessed dauntless courage and great military skill, was engaging in his manners, but voluptuous and cruel. He was considered the handsomest man of his time. Many battles were fought during this reign—the battle of Towton, Yorkshire, on Palm Sunday, 1461, in which 36,000 men were slain ; the queen fled to Flanders, but returned and fought the battle of Hexham, and was defeated. During this reign lived the famous Earl of Warwick, surnamed the king-maker, slain at the battle of Barnet, in Hertfordshire. At this period also lived the beautiful Jane Shore, the wife of a goldsmith in Lombard-street, who the king induced to leave her husband; at the king’s death she was compelled to do MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS’ CATALOGUE. 21 penance in a white sheet in St. Paul’s Churchyard; she afterwards lived in wretchedness, and, it is said, died in a ditch (Shoreditch). So great was the ignorance of the times, as far as regards reading and writing, that many of the higher classes, when required by their office to sign certain laws and regulations, were obliged to subscribe them by the hand of a deputy. William Caxton, the celebrated printer, died during this reign. 163. EDWARD W. The portrait was modelled from Strutt's work, who gives his au- thority as “Taken from a small folio M.S. on vellum, in the Archbishop's library, Lambeth.” Edward W. was the eldest son of Edward IV., whom he succeeded at the age of twelve; he was born in the Sanctuary, at Westminster, 1471. He reigned only two months and twelve days of the year 1483, and although proclaimed king a few days after his father’s death, was never crowned. Edward and his younger brother the Duke of York were sent to the Tower by their uncle Richard, Duke of Gloucester; this was done under pretence of waiting for the young king's coronation, but in reality in order to procure their death. It is supposed that the brothers were smothered and buried at the foot of the staircase leading to their chamber, by Sir James Tyrrel and three associates. While an alteration was being made in one of the staircases of the Tower in 1674, two bodies were discovered in a wooden chest, which were supposed to be those of the young princes. Their remains were placed in a marble urn, by order of Charles II., and buried at Westminster, where a monument to their memory was erected by Sir C. Wren. 164, RICHARD III., in a magnificent suit of armour of the period. (The likeness taken, with the kind permission of his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, from the original picture in his grace's possession at Arundel, believed to be the only one for which the King ever sat.) Richard III., so famous in British history, ascended the throne in 1483, to which he had waded through the blood of his nearest relations. His private character was detestable, but as a King he managed the helm with success, being valiant and prudent. The Earl of Richmond having asserted his right to the throne, Richard was defeated at Bosworth field, and killed by Richmond, afterwards Henry VII., having reigned two years and two months. .** HOUSES UNITED: 165, HENRY WII., in the magnificent costume from the monument in Westminster Abbey, with the collar of the Garter. Henry VII. was born in 1455, and succeeded the tyrant Richard III., who was killed at the battle of Bosworth Field. Henry's first care, on ascending the throne, was to marry the Princess Elizabeth, daughter of Edward IV., and thus blend the interest of the houses of York and Lancaster. He reigned 23 years dying at the age of 52. x- 166, HENRY THE EIGHTH, in a magnificent suit of armour, as worn at the tournament of the Field of the Cloth of Gold. Of all the characters that have dis- figured the page of history, perhaps, not one can equal, and certainly none exceed, the sanguinary Henry. Raised to the crown of England at the age of 18, he soon gave loose to a vindictive disposition. He lived to the age of 55, reigning 37 years; during which he sacrificed the lives of thousands. He had six wives, two of whom were beheaded. 167. CATHARINE OF ARRAGON, first queen of Henry VIII. Her mother, Queen Isabel of Spain, had been raised to the throne of Castile by the Cortes, and Catharine first saw the light in the town of Alcald de Henares in 1485. Her early infarcy was spent amidst the storms of battle and siege; she first married Arthur, Henry’s brother being then in her 16th year. Her husband, Prince Arthur, lived a short time at Ludlow where he died of the plague in 1502, at the age of 16. 168, ANNE BOLEYNE, second wife of Henry VIII., dressed in the magnificent costume of the period, with splendid jewellery, the favourite of Henry VIII., and mother of Queen Elizabeth, was considered very beautiful but nevertheless was beheaded by com- mand of her monster husband at the Tower. 169, JANE SEYMOUR, third wife of Henry VIII., succeeded Anne Boleyne, whom she most cruelly used; four-and-twenty hours not having elapsed after the axe was dyed with the blood of her royal mistress when she became the bride of Henry VIII.; the pre- parations for the execution of Anne Boleyne and the royal marriage having gone on at one and the same time. She was the daughter of Sir John Seymour, of Wolf Hall, Wiltshire, X. was of Norman origin. She was the mother of Edward VI., whose birth she survived a few days. - 170, ANNE OF CLEVES, fourth wife of Henry VIII., was the sister of the Duke of Cleves. Henry had remained unmarried nearly two years when, deceived by 22 MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS’ CATALOGUE. flattering portraits and descriptions, he sought Anne in marriage, whom he no sooner saw in a stolen interview at Rochester, than his heart recoiled against her, and from that moment he determined to get rid of her, which he did in that cruel manner natural to him. “She was,” says Hollingshed, “a lady of right commendable regard, courteous, gentle, a good housekeeper, and very bountiful to her servants.” : .., 171. CATHARINE HOWARD, fifth queen of Henry VIII., was a daughter of that illustrious house of which a modern writer thus eloquently remarks:—“What family per- Tades our nationalammals of such intense and brilliant interest as the Howards?” Catharine was the cousin-german of the beautiful and ill-fated Anne Boleyne; she was the third §entlewoman whom the king elevated to the dangerous dignity of queen; she was moderate in beauty, but superlatively graceful. She perished on the same scaffold as Queen Anne º at the Tower, and died in the flower of her age, eighteen months after her marriage to the king. - 172, CATHERINE PARR, sixth and last queen of Henry VIII., was the first pro- testant Queen of England. Her father, Sir Thomas Parr, by the marriage of his Norman progenitor, Ivo de Tallebois, with Lucy, the sister of the renowned Earls Moncar and Edwin, inherited the blood of the Anglo-Saxon kings. She was twice married previous to her union with the king, first to Lord Borough and afterwards to Lord Latimer. She was considered lovely in her person, accomplished, learned and virtuous; and had the good fortune to escape a violent death. s: 173. KING EDWARD VI. succeded his father, at the age of 9 years, 1547; he was a very amiable, learned, and pious young man, and died July 6th, 1553, in the 16th year of his age. He left the crown to Lady Jane Grey, his cousin; who reigned only ten days, and was then deposed and beheaded. 174, QUEEN MARY, in the costume of the time. (From an authentic portrait; age, 35.) Mary was the daughter of Henry VIII., and succeeded to the throne in 1553, after deposing Lady Jane Grey, who reigned only ten days. She married Philip, King of Spain, son of the famous Charles V., with whom she lived on bad terms; and her reign was marked by the turbulence peculiar to the times. Public opinion is much divided as to her character. 175. QUEEN ELIZABETH, from a picture at Hampton Court Palace, by Holbein. Elizabeth, Queen of England, daughter of Henry VIII. and Anne Boleyne, was born September 5, 1533, and ascended the throne of England on the death of her elder sister, Mary, November 17, 1559. Philip of Spain, in 1588, equipped an expedition for the purpose of invading England, which, from its great force, was styled the Invincible Armada: on this occasion the queen reviewed her troops at Tilbury, and by her speeches and conduct inspired them with heroism. UNION OF THE ENGLISH AND SCOTCH CROWNS. 176, JAMES I. of England and VI. of Scotland, in the costume of the period. (Taken from an original picture.) James ascended the British throne on the death of Elizabeth, 1603; he was the son of the unfortunate Mary. He had high notions of kingly power, but reigned with little reputation. - 177. CHARLES I., in a magnificent suit of chevalier armour with the badge of the Garter—period, 1649. He was born in 1600, and began to reign May 27, 1625; being the second son of James I. Relying on his resources, he made war against the French, and Soon found it necessary to raise money, which he did in so arbitrary a manner, particularly that called," ship money,” in which the city of London was rated at twenty ships, that he became very unpopular; when a power in the person of Cromwell and the Puritans destroyed him, and led him to the scaffold, at Whitehall, in the 49th year of his age and 23rd of his reign. 178, OLIVER CROMWELL, in a suit of armour of the period. His father was a gentleman of small fortune in Huntingdon, where Oliver was born April 1, 1594. In his youth Cromwell was addicted to intemperance; afterwards, having reformed and joined the independent party, he was elected to sit in Parliament for Cambridge. On the breaking out of the civil war, he raised a troop of horse and joined the Parliamentary army which he afterwards commanded, and brought the unfortunate Charles to the block, whose death- warrant he signed in 1649. He died September 3, 1658, at his palace, Whitehall, in the 59th year of his age, and was buried with great splendour in the royal Sepulchre. The expense of the funeral amounted to the enormous sum of £2,000. His body, with that of Ireton, was disinterred on Saturday, January 26, 1660, and on the Monday night following, they were drawn in carts from Westminster to the Red Lion Inn, Holborn, MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS’ CATALOGUE. , 23 where they remained all night.

When Charles came to the throne he was 30 years of age: possessing an agreeable person, an elegant address, engaging manners, and a cheerful disposition, he has been designated the “Merry Monarch.” He was born in 1630, and began to reign in 1660; but it was found that his natural advantages had not fitted him to fill a throne, as his indolence and love of pleasure made him averse to business. He died Feb. 5, 1685, having reigned nearly twenty-five years. 180, JAMES II., in a military dress of 1687. (The likeness from an original picture.) James was born in 1633, being the second son of Charles I. ; he began to reign February 6, 1685, and abdicated the throne in 1689, having reigned only four years. Public opinion is divided respecting the character of James; suffice it that he retired to Saint Germain, near Paris, and died with the reputation of great sanctity, and was buried at the Benedictines’ monastery. 181 WILLIAM III., in a military dress of the period. (The likeness from an authentic source.) William, Prince of Orange, succeeded James II., February 13, 1689, and soon began to experience the difficulty of governing a people who were more ready to examine the commands of their superiors than to obey them.

Having shifted his flag on board the Cullodem, 74, he, in the battle of Saint Vincent, under Admiral Jervis, attacked the Santissima Trinidada of 136 guns, and boarded and took the San Nicholas, of 80 guns, and the San Josef, of 112 guns; for this action he was made Admiral of the Blue. The battle of Aboukir was another splendid triumph of the naval hero. October 21, 1805, he died in the arms of victory at the battle of Trafalgar. 218 THE LATE QUEEN DOWAGER.

In 1796, the Seine having overflowed its banks, the infant here represented was washed away in its cradle; being observed by some humane persons as it floated, they succeeded in preserving its life. This circumstance coming to the ear of Buonaparte, he had the child (a male) taken care of at his own expense. 28 MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS’ CATALOGUE. NAPOLEON ROOM. 222, THE LATE MARQUIS OF ANGLESEA, in the uniform of a general. (Taken from life in 1838.) The Marquis was the companion of the illustrious Wellington: he lost his leg at Waterloo, where he greatly distinguished himself. He died, 1854. 223. ALEXANDER, LATE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA, in the uniform of the Russian guards. (Taken from life when in England in 1814.) Alexander I., son of the late Emperor Paul, and grandson of the Empress Catherine II., was born December 23, 1777. October 9, 1793, married to Louisa, Princess of Baden Durlach, and, on the sudden death of Paul, ascended the throne of Russia, March 24, 1801. This excellent monarch died at Taganrock, November 9, 1825. 224. MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY, in the uniform of the 10th Hussars, wearing the Order of the Guelphs. Charles William Vane Stewart, Marquis of London- derry. He accompanied the Monarchs from the retreat of Napoleon at Leipsic, to the capitulation of Paris, in 1814, where he remained as ambassador for several years. 225. The late RIGHT HON. VISCOUNT HARDINGE, G.C.B. (Taken in 1840.) Wiscount Hardinge was the third son of the late Rev. Henry Hardinge, Rector of Stanhope, in the county of Durham ; he entered the army at an early age, was engaged through the whole of the Peninsular war against Napoleon, and lost his left hand at the battle of Ligny. 226, FIELD-MARSHAL WON BLUCHER, in the uniform of the Prussian Guards. (Taken in 1805.) Gebhart Lebrecht Von Blucher, whose valour and military talents were the admiration of Europe, was born at Rostock, in the duchy of Mecklenberg Schwerin, December 16, 1742. He was the youngest of six brothers, and descended from an ancient and noble family. At the peace of Tilsit, the gallant veteran was made Military General of Pomerania by the King of Prussia. When the war again broke out, he was entrusted with the chief command of the Silesian army and elevated to the high rank of Field-marshal. On his visiting England he was received with enthusiasm by all ranks of Englishmen. 227. FREDERICK WILLIAM III, KING OF PRUSSIA, in the uniform of the Prussian Guards. His Majesty, who was born in 1770, and began his reign in 1797, may be considered as one of the principal agents in the downfall of Napoleon, having never relaxed his endeavours to destroy that power which shook the thrones of the greatest monarchs. Died June 7, 1840. 223. THE LATE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA AND KING OF HUNGARY, in the uniform of the Austrian Guards. Francis, second son of the great Leopold, and brother to that celebrated general the Archduke Charles, was born in 1769, and began his reign in 1792. The details of the life of his Majesty would include little less than a com- plete history of the war; suffice it that, having bravely endeavoured to stem the revolu- tionary torrent, and having seen his capital twice in the hands of the French, he was compelled by the position of his affairs, to yield the hand of his fair daughter, Maria Louisa, to his enemy, Bonaparte, who had previously repudiated the amiable Josephine. The Emperor Francis, who was thrice married, died in March, 1835, in the 67th year of his age. 229. MURAT, KING OF NAPLES, in the uniform of a cuirassier of the Neapo- litan guards. Murat was born 1767, in the department of Lot, in France: his father was a respectable inkeeper at Cahors. He enlisted in the regiment of the Ardennes, where he rapidly gained promotion, being shortly afterwards colonel of the 12th regiment of chas- seurs, general of cavalry, and aide-de-camp to Napoleon, with whom he became so great a favourite as to obtain the hand of his sister, Marie de Lannociade, with the command of the consular guards. 230. MARSHAL NEY, PRINCE DE LA MOSCOWA, as a Marshal of France. Marshal Ney was perhaps, next to Napoleon, the greatest of the generals produced by the French revolution: the estimation in which he was held by those to whom he was known for his amiable qualities as a man and his transcendent talents as a general, leave him second to none. Michael Ney was born at Sarre Louis, January 10, 1767. º - MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS CATALOGUE. 29 231. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, in the uniform of a chasseur of the guards, with the star of the Legion of Honour. (Taken from life in 1815.)

GOLDEN CHAMBER. MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS' NEW ROOMS OF RELICS OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON, Which have been opened at a cost to the Proprietors of nearly 5618,000; magnificently arranged after the designs of Isabey and Fontaine, the Emperor's artists, forming a SERIES OF NATIONAL REMINISCENCES of great interest; declared at the Public Offices, in the Court of Chancery Southampton Buildings, before the following Masters:—J. W. Farrer, Esq.; A. H. Lynch, Esq.; and Sir George Wilson, Knight. ADMISSION TO THE SHRINE, SIXPENCE, which includes THREE ROOMS, “The Shrine of Napoleon, or Golden Chamber,” the Room containing the Car- riage taken at Waterloo, the Table of the Marshals, and the Chamber of Horrors. MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS have the gratification to announce the addition of one of the most Interesting Exhibitions in Europe. It is almost needless to state, that everything connected with the late Emperor Napoleon belongs to British history; it therefore follows, that these extra- ordinary Relics cannot but be highly interesting to every reflecting mind, as they are such as ought not to be, with propriety, in private hands; but should take their place in the “IN- VALIDES” in Paris, where rest the remains of the Great Soldier, General, Consul, and Emperor of the French, amidst his Companions in Arms. It is Well known that relics, when authenticated, bring the period to which they belong immediately to the imagination; and as all those that originally were Prince Lucien’s (Napoleon's brother) are affirmed before Masters in Chancery, and were intended by Bonaparte to have been the property of his son, the Rung of Rome, but never having reached him, were sent to the Prince on the death of his mother, Madame Mere, there can be no doubt of their authenticity. The carriage having becn seem by thousands, no remark need be made. With respect to the rest, the Proprietors can with truth stake their reputation, firmly believing every article to be genuine. Certificates may be seen. In order to give interest to the arrangement of the rooms in which the relics are displayed, they are fitted up exactly in the style of the period, with splendid ceilings, and picture-frames made cxpressly to show the peculiar fashion of Napoleon's time, without legard to expense. Copy of a Letter in The Times, January the 11th, 1853.−“SIR: A palagraph appeared in The Times of the llth of December last, purporting to be an extract from a French paper, the Patrie, ſtating that “It is known that the Emperor Napoleon left by his will to Queen Caloline different gºticles, among them the bed on which he died, &c.” Now, on reference to Napoleon's will, it appears that the only anticle left to his sister Caloline is a small Turkey carpet. The camp bedstead, mat- tresses covered with silk, and silk coverlid (the latter articles said to be stained with Napoleon's blood), with several other relics—among them the cloak he wore at the battle of Marengo—were, in 1837, transmitted from Panis to the late Lucien Bonaparte, Prince of Camino, who was then residing in this country, in whose possession they remained until the year 1889, when he left JEngland, and shortly afterwards died. The several articles above-mentioned were then at the Prince's residence, under the charge of his solicitor (one of our firm), by whose direction they were afterwards disposed of to the Messrs. Tussaud, of Baker-street, where they have ever since remained. The statement copied from the Patrie is, therefore, erroneous; and, as it is calculated to injure the Messrs. Tussaud, we have to request, on their behalf, that you will do them the justice to publish this contradiction of it. “We are, Sir, your most obedient servants, “STAFFORD, GEE, and STAFFORD, “13, Buckingham-Street, Strand.” “Solicitons for Messrs.

Bullock, for £2,500, THE celebrated highly curious Military Carriage of the Emperor Napoleon, in which he made the campaign of Russia, and which was captured on the evening of the battle of Waterloo, and sent with the officer that took it to the Prince Regent, from whom it was purchased by Mr. Bullock, of the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, for £2,500. The interest excited by it as an exhibition was never exceeded in these kingdoms, 800,000 having paid to see it. It accompanied Napoleon in many of his campaigns, and was used by him as sovereign of Elba, and from its peculiar internal fittings, cannot prove otherwise than highly interesting to the rising generation and to those that recollect the excitement that it caused on its arrival, being the glorious termination of the war. (See Letter from Mr. Bullock.) Mr. Bullock's Letter.—“DEAR SIR, The French Repeating-Watch which you had of me, I had from Monsieur Mati, of Paris, who was Valet of the late Emperor of France and accompanied him in his Russian Campaign, and declared it to have been presented to him by Napoleon on his leaving him, after the battle of Leipsic ; and I paid him the same price that I now charge you. He sold it to me with the celebrated Surtout, lined with sable, as he attested in the presence of Monsieur Agusto Lethiere, son of the President of the French Academy of Rome, and Mr. Jean Horne, who was for many years military Coachman to the Emperor Napoleon, who lost his right arm, when the celebrated Carriage was taken by the Prussian Troops, about fifteen miles from Waterloo, on the evening of the great Battle, that was afterwards purchased by me from his late Majesty George IV. for the sum of £2,500, and exhibited by me at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, London, as well as in the principal cities in Great Britain and Ireland, by the authority of the Govern- ment, and is the identical Carriage I have just seen in your possession.

Some speculators having purchased this carriage, for the purpose of exhibiting it in London and Berlin, to the former enemies of France, it is to, be wished that the French Government had purchased it.

The remainder of the dress worn at the time by the royal victim of bigotry, was formerly in the possession of Charles X., who, when Madame Tussaud was in Edinburgh, wished to purchase the . shirt for 200 guineas; but she declined parting with such a curiosity.

DESCRIPTION.—The Crimson Robe on your right was worn by His Majesty in the procession to Westminster Abbey, and borne by nine eldest sons of Peers. The Robe opposite is the Purple or Imperial Robe used by His Majesty on his return from the Abbey. On your left is the one used at the opening of Parliament. The three Robes contain 567 feet of velvet and embroidery, and with the ermine linings are said to have cost £18,000. The splendid Crown was copied by permission from the original model, by Rundell and Bridges. The Sceptre, &c., &c. from the originals. The MESSRs. Tussaud, in introduging the truly magnificent and unequalled Coronation Robes of His Majesty George IV., feel happy that it has fallen to their lot to have the honour of exhibiting this splendid production of British skill to the public (their liberal supporters), as they may say, without fear of contradiction, that, in all probability, their like will never be seen again. Much credit is due to the artists employed, and too much praise cannot be given to Messrs. Holbecks, of No. 4, New Bond-street, who were honoured by the royal commands, as embroiderers, These superb robes prove that British skill, when directed by taste and liberality, can attain, in every branch of the useful arts, the highest excellence, thereby placing Britain foremost in the civilisa- tion of the world, C 36 MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS CATALOGUE. CHAMBER OF HORRORS. In consequence of the peculiarity of the appearance of the following highly interesting Figures and Objects, they are placed in an adjoining room. The sensation created by the crimes of Rush, Mannings, &c., was so great that thousands were unable to satisfy their curiosity. It therefore induced the Messrs. Tussaud to expend a large sum in building a suitable room for the purpose; and they assure the public that so far from the exhibition of the likenesses of criminals creating a desire to imitate them, Experience teaches then, that it has a direct tendency to the contrary. 260, DUMOLLARD AND HIS WIFE, These fiends lived by decoying young women, under the pretence of getting them situations, into a wood near Lyons, in France, and brutally murdering them by garrotting, and after taking all they possessed, clothes, &c., put the body into a new made grave, previously prepared. In this manner it is believed they despatched seventeen or eighteen; but, at length being detected, Dumollard suffered death, and his wife was sentenced to the galleys for life. 261, NANA SAIB, in the winter costume of his country. The Indian rebellion, fruitful as it has been in atrocious crimes, showing the human beings when not civilised, to be like the ferocious tiger, that lives on gore, produced the monster Nana, who, although externally distinguished amongst his countrymen as much above them in knowledge and European usages, was at heart a savage. Instead of making war against his fellow-men, he made it against innocent women and children, whom he caused to be butchered without mercy; bringing desolation to the heroes then in India, and mourning to the homes of their relatives in England. But a retributive Providence willed it that punishment was near, Nana was totally defeated whenever he attempted to make a stand, and becoming a wanderer in his native land, died, it is said, the coward's death, despised and forsaken. 262, GEORGE TOWNLEY. Convicted of the murder of his sweetheart at Derby; sentenced to be hanged. Subsequently removed to Bethlehem Hospital, two surgeons having certified to his insanity. Certain indications of sanity having shown themselves he was removed to Pentonville, where he now undergoes the sentence of penal servitude for life. 263. WILLIAM ROUPELL. He was sentenced at the Old Bailey to transportation for life, for having forged the will of his father, and otherwise disposing of the property belonging to his half-brother. This interesting trial lasted nine days. 264. JOHN JOB WARD, the murderer of Timothy Easthead. Representation of the Dock in which Criminals are tried, 265, JAMES BLOOMFIELD RUSH. (Taken from life at Norwich, dressed as he appeared on that occasion.) The annals of crime must place the mame of Rush at the lowest depth of infamy: he was accused of having in early life set fire to a haystack; of having rescued a man from custody; of having afterwards murdered his wife, his mother, his father-in-law, and, lastly, Mr. Jermyn and his son, and dangerously wounded Mrs. Jermyn and her maid; of having seduced many young women; and of having committed forgeries of the blackest dye. He was executed at Norwich amidst the deepest execrations of the assembled multitude. 266. DANIEL GOOD. (Taken from life.) The murderer of Jane Jones, whose body he cut asunder and burnt. 267, 268. MARIA MANNING—GEORGE MANNING. It would be im- possible to describe the astonishing effect produced on the inhabitants of the metropolis by the horrible murder of Mr. O’Connor; few would credit that a man and wife could have fallen so low in infamy. 269, BOUSFIELD was executed for having in a fit of jealousy, aided by intem- perance, murdered his wife and three children. * 270. JOHN DEVINE executed for the murder of Joseph Duck, in Westmoreland- street, Marylebone. 271. HENRY QUAIL committed a murder in Marylebone, for which he was Bentenced to death, but which was commuted to transportation. } MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS’ CATALOGUE. 37 272, 273, STEWART AND HIS WIFE. (Taken from their faces, three hours after execution.) Stewart and his wife, convicted of poisoning and robbing the captain of a trading vessel, were executed at Edinburgh, on Wednesday, August 19, 1829. Stewart was born at Stonnykirk in 1799; his real name was Bradfoot. He had for many years carried on the horrid practice of administering laudanum to his victims, in order to rob them; and the deaths of nine individuals have been traced to be the work of this diabolical wretch. 274. PIERRI, a native of the Roman States, associated and participated in the attempt on the life of the Emperor, with Orsini, for which he was guillotined. •. 275. PIANOBI, in a camisole-de-force, worn by criminals, was executed for attempting the life of his Majesty the Emperor of the French as he was taking an airing with the Empress. 276. ORSINI was a native of the Roman States, of a noble family. At an early age he became affected by revolutionary doctrines, which ended with the sacrifice of his life. He was guillotined in Paris for attempting the destruction of the Emperor Napoleon III. and the Empress, on their visit to the Italian Opera, with grenades of a most destructive character, which spread terror and dismay, and killed and wounded upwards of one hundred persons. 277, BACON, following in the footsteps of Palmer, murdered his mother, in order to inherit her money; and afterwards murdered his two children. 278, WILLIAM PALMER. The annals of crime have not produced a more cold- blooded murderer. Under the guise of love and friendship, he sacrificăd his victims to gratify his lust for gold; and, callous to the voice of nature, he coolly smiled at the torture he inflicted, calculating the effect of each dose of poison, and the time that it would take effect. Palmer was educated as a surgeon, and his career adds one more mystery to the long catalogue. 279. Dr. COUTY DE LA POMMERAIS, poisoner, guillotined. From a photograph and other authorities, by M. Frisquart, 23, Rue Louis le Grand, Paris. That the frequent detection of poisoners and the punishment that surely follows, does not lead to its ex- tinction, is one of the many mysteries that man is not permitted to fathom. Dr. Couty de la Pommerais was born of a most respectable family, was highly educated, and took with credit to himself all the honours as a medical man; was highly favoured with a gentlemanly appearance, and stood well with the world, and with all these advantages one would sup- pose would be safe from the diabolical temptation of becoming a poisoner. Warned by the fate of Palmer and many others, yet nevertheless he poisoned his wife, mother, and also his former mistress, whose life he had insured for £22,000, whom he caused to die a lin- gering death, which aroused the suspicions of her brother, which immediately led to the detection of La Pommerais, who was guillotined, although every effort was made to get a Commutation of his sentence. 280. WILLIAM HUNT. Murdered his wife and two children by administering poison to them in a cab. He afterwards, to avoid justice, committed suicide at his house at Camberwell. 281. GREENACRE. James Greenacre, the murderer of Hannah Brown, whose body he mutilated and dispersed the remains in various parts of the metropolis. He was executed May 2, 1837. On the dock, the knife may be seen that was used by Greenacre to cut up his victim. 282. DOVE was born in Leeds, and when executed for the murder of his Wife, by poison, was 28 years of age. His parents were examples of kindness and humanity, and gave their son a liberal education, having had him brought up at the College, near Leeds; but nature, which baffles all the calculations of man, formed him of a cruel disposition, which showed itself at an early age. 283. RICHARD GOULD. (Taken from life.) This atrocious wretch murdered Mr. Templeman, who resided at Islington. As there was no direct evidence, Gould escaped the punishment that was his due ; he was acquitted on the charge of murder, but, on his second trial, was found guilty of robbing the house of his victim, and transported for life. 284, WILLIAM GODFREY YOUNGMAN was found guilty of the foul murders of his sweetheart, mother, and two brothers, and executed at Horsemonger Lane Gaol. His motive appears to have arisen from a desire to secure to himself the £100 which he had caused the young woman to insure her life for. 285, MRS. CATHERINE WILSON, executed for poisoning, with the most refined cruelty, several persons, whom she tortured, in imitation of Palmer. 38 MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS CATALOGUE. + 286. MOSES HATTO. Executed for the murder of his fellow-servant, under aggravated circumstances, at Barnham Farm Abbey. 287. DANIEL M'NAUGHTEN. M'Naughten was born at Glasgow, which place he quitted through fancying he was persecuted by the Tories and Catholics, and glutted his revenge on the unfortunate Mr. Drummond, whom he mistook for Sir Robert Peel, by shooting him with a pistol at Charing-cross. 288. EDWARD OXFORD. He conceived the diabolical act of murdering the Queen and Prince Albert, whom he shot at in their progress up Constitution Hill, on the 10th June, 1840. 289. JOHN FRANCIS. (Taken from life.) John Francis was tried at the Old Bailey and found guilty of high treason, and consigned to a Lunatic Asylum, for shooting at her Majesty, as the royal carriages were proceeding down Constitution Hill. 290. EMANUEL BARTHELEMY. Executed for the murder of Mr. Moore and a Policeman. Barthelemy was by business an engineer, but having joined the ranks of the extreme Red Republicans, was exiled from France, his native country, and termi- nated his existence on the gallows at Newgate. 291. JAMES MULLINS, executed for the murder of Mrs. Elmsley. By a series of manoeuvres he sought to fasten his crime upon an innocent person. His guilt being fully established, and being proved to be the actual murderer, he died amidst the execrations of a multitude of spectators. ; - 292. FIESCHI. (Taken from life in Paris, 1885) Represented in the act of applying the match to the Infernal Machine. Fieschi, the demon who attempted the lives of the King of the French and his sons, was a native of Corsica. He and his con- federates in the plot for murder were tried in the Court of Peers, and condemned to the guillotine. Fieschi died as he had lived—a miscreant. 293. RAVAILLAC. Francis Ravaillac was born at Angoulême, and being a gloomy fanatic, and having conceived that Henry IV. had given him offence, he mortally stabbed him while in his coach and surrounded by his guards. The act was one of great wickedness: but the punishment inflicted on Ravaillac was a disgrace to his judges: his right hand was consumed in a caldron of boiling brimstone—his flesh was pulled from his bones with red hot pincers—boiling oil, resin, and brimstone were poured on his wounds, and melted lead on his navel. To put an end to his miseries, four horses were fastened to the four quarters of his body, and on the horses being whipped he was literally torn to 18C3S, p 294, JOHN THOM, alias Sir William Courteney. In an encounter with the soldiery, on the 1st of June, 1838, at Broughton, near Canterbury, after having shot a constable and an officer, he was killed. Seventeen of his deluded followers were either killed or wounded. 295. MARLEY, executed for the murder of a watchmaker in Parliament Street, in the open day. 296. COURVOISTER. (Taken from life, and cast from his face after death.) Francis Benjamin Courvoisier was the horrid murderer of Lord William Russell, who was in the 72nd year of his age. Courvoisier was born in Switzerland, and passed some years in England. He was executed July 6, 1840. 297. LUIGI BURANELLI, an Italian by birth, executed for the murder of Mr. Latham, and for desperately wounding the female he lived with. 298, 299. BURKE and HARE. (The Model of Burke, taken within three hours after his execution; and that of Hare from Life, in the prison of Edinburgh.) The ammals of crime can scarcely exhibit two agents equal in atrocity to the subjects of this group. Allured by the prospects of gain held out by the Professors of Anatomy in Edinburgh, they undertook to furnish, from time to time, a number of subjects for the practice of the students. Thinking it unsafe to ransack the burying grounds, they formed the detestable resolution of decoying poor persons. This practice they carried on for upwards of ten months, during which numbers of persons disappeared in a manner that could not be accounted for. A discovery was at length made: Burke was convicted on the evidence of Hare, and executed at Edinburgh, January 27, 1828; while Hare was again let loose upon the world. tº * * g. 3. 300. DENNIS COLLINS. He attempted the life of William IV. at Ascot Heath races. He was sentenced to transportation for life, but died on the passage. * * wº MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS CATALOGUE. 39 301. MARAT. (Taken immediately after his assassination, by order of the National Assembly.) John Paul Marat, one of the atrocious leaders of the French Revolution, was born at Bawdry, near Neufchatel, in Switzerland, 1764; he first attracted notice by his attacks on the ministry, and particularly Mons. Necker, in his “Publiciste Parisien; ” and his notoriety was much increased by his next publication, “L’Ami du Peuple,” in which he recommended revolt, pillage, and murder; he excited the soldiers to assassinate their generals, the poor to seize the property of the rich, and the profigate to cut off the respectable part of their countrymen. This execrable wretch might have added to the number of his victims, had not a young heroine named Charlotte Corday, with the spirit of a Judith, determined to rid the world of such a monster; and having obtained access to him in his bath, she, with a knife, laid the tyrant dead at her feet July 14, 1793. 302. FRANZ MULLER. (From life.) Corrected from the original cast, taken, with the permission of Mr. Sheriff Dakin, by Dr. Donovan, of the School of Phrenology, 111, Strand. Franz Müller, the murderer of Mr. Briggs, in a railway carriage on the North London Line, was a native of Germany, and had resided in London a considerable time, where he worked at his trade as a tailor. The effect on the public mind, when it was known that the murderer of Mr. Briggs had escaped, was very great; and the whole population seemed to feel as if they were personally interested in his capture. The culprit was traced by the police to New York, brought back, tried, and condemned on the clearest evidence. On the scaffold he was attended by the German minister, Dr. Cappell, who most humanely urged him to confess his guilt by saying, “In a few moments you will be before your God; I ask you, for the last time, are you innocent or guilty P”—Müller : “I am innocent.”—Dr. Cappell ; “You are innocent P*—Müller: “God Almighty knows what I have done.”—Dr. Cappell: “Does God know that you have done this deed P”—Müller was silent.—Dr. Cappell ; “I ask you now, solemnly, and for the last time, have you committed this crime P”—Müller : “Yes, I have done it.” Almost at the same instant, and while the words were upon the lips of the wretehed man, the drop fell, and Müller died without a struggle.—(November 14th, 1864.) * MODELS AND RELICS. 303. MODEL OF THE BASTILE. The Bastile was a state prison in Paris, surrounded by a river or fosse, and mounted by cannon, which, under the despotism of successive sovereigns of France, was the scene of the most unheard of cruelties. Whoever had the misfortune to offend any person in power, was, by a “lettre de cachet,” shut up in this abominable fortress, without trial, or even knowing of what he was accused, and there confined during the pleasure of his persecutor, and not unfrequently for life. Among the prisoners released at the destruction of the Bastile, were a Major White, a Scotchman, and the Count de Lorge, who had been confined twenty years. º 304, MODEL OF STANFIELD HALL, used during the trial of Rush at Norwich. 305, MODEL OF MRS. EMSLEY'S HOUSE. 306. THE MODEL OF THE GUILLOTINE, from the original drawings by Monsieur Sansom, of Paris. This is the first guillotime, the original size, ever seen in England, being exact in every detail as the one in use. 307. COUNT DE LORGE, represented as in prison in the Bastile. (Taken from life.) The existence of the unfortunate man in the Bastile has by some been doubted, but Madame Tussaud was herself a witness of his having been taken out of that prison, July 14, 1789. Madame Tussaud was then residing in the house of her uncle, No. 20, Boulevard du Temple, Paris, where the Count was brought, but his chains had been taken off. The poor man, unused to liberty for thirty years, seemed to be in a new world; free- dom had no joys for him; he had lost his relatives, and habit made him repine for the solitude from which he had been taken : he frequently with tears would beg to be restored to his dungeon. The unfortunate Count lived but six weeks after his liberation; he was put in confinement for giving offence to a minister. 308. THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY RELIC IN THE WORLD, being a melancholy recollection of the first French Revolution. The original Knife and Lunette, the identical instrument that decapitated 22,000 persons, amongst whom were the unfor. fortunate Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette,Madame Elizabeth, the Duc of Orleans, Robespierre, and shed the best and worst blood of France; bought by the Messrs. Tussaud from M.Sansom, the grandson of the original executioner, now residing in Paris. This is the fatal instrument A0 - "MADAME TUSSAUD AND SONS CATALOGUE. of which so dreadful a use was māde during the Reign of Terror. M. Guillotin, a French physician, brought it into use by mechanical improvements, and it received his name, only by making it feminine by adding the e final (Guillotine). It is said that M. Guillotin died of grief caused by the horrible use made of it. Messrs. Tussaud introduce it to the notice of the public because the use of the Guillotime enters so largely into the history of the first French Revolution, that they consider it would be interesting to the reading public. x * . IHEADS, 309. HEBERT. (Taken immediately after his execution, by ºrder ºf the National Assembly.) James Rene Hebert was a native of Alençon, whom the French revolution raised to consequence. As the writer of “Père Duchesne,” an abusive paper, he acquired popularity; and by bitterly inveighing against the Queen, he maintained his character for brutality and cruelty, which he had acquired by defending the horrors of the 10th of August, and the murders of September. In attempting to oppose the Commune of Paris to the authority of the Convention, he drew upon himself the vengeance of Robespierre, and was guillotined in 1794. This worthless character, who had organised the fêtes of reason in contempt of religion and of an after-life, died like a coward. 310. FOUQUIER TINVILLE. (Taken immediately after his execution, by order of the National Assembly.) Antonio Quentin Fouquier Tinville, a Frenchman of infamous memory, born near St. Quentin; from a bankrupt he became the friend of Robespierre, and so sanguinary was his conduct that he was deemed by that tyrant worthy to be the public accuser. In this office he displayed the most vindictive character; the young, the aged, and the imnocent, were hurried with insulting indifference to the scaffold. In one instance, in four hours, eighty individuals were devoted to immediate death, when one of the gaolers observed, that a person before the tribunal was not the accused, Fouquier said with unconcern that one was as good as another, and the victim was marched to the guillotine, At length punishment came, though late; Fouquier appeared before that tribunal where he had exercised such bloody tyranny; and in November, 1794, he was guillotined, at the age of 48. 311. LOUIS XVI. and MARIE ANTOINETTE. 312, ROBESPIERRE. (Taken immediately after his execution, by order of the National Assembly.) Maximilian-Isidore Robespierre, a sanguinary demagogue, during the French Revolution, was born at Arras, of poor parents, in 1759, and educated at the expense of the bishop of the diocese. After studying at Paris, he applied himself to the law, and in 1784, obtained the prize of the Academy, at Metz, by his discourse on the disgrace which attends the relations of criminals. At the meeting of the Constituent Assembly, he obtained a seat, but was distinguished more by the originality of his observations, than by his eloquence. Such was the influence of this monster, that France forgot her honour and her religion at his command. After he had seen the altars insulted, the churches thrown down, and public worship abolished, he claimed the merit of restoring to the Supreme Being some share in the government of the universe; and appeared in the mame of the Convention, as the priest of a new religion; and decreed, with great solemnity, that a god existed in the world. Of all the horrid monsters who figured in the French revolution, none have descended to posterity with a mame so abhorred as Robespierre: the crimes he committed were of so horrible a mature, that they have handed down his character to future ages as the guiltiest of the guilty. Well does he deserve the following epitaph: “Passenger lament not his fate; For were he living, thou would'st be dead.” 313, CARRIER. (Taken immediately after his execution, by order of the Na- tional Assembly.) John Baptist Carrier, an infamous republican, born in 1757, was bred up to the law, and while deputy to the National Convention was sent to La Vendée with a number of assassins. At Nantes, he often, in one day, caused twenty-four persons to be put to death, though young and innocent. After perpetrating every crime of cruelty, lust, and avarice, he was recalled, condemned to a deserved death, and guillotined in 1794, GRANT & GASN LK MERGERS & GENERAL DRAP Solicit an inspection of the various departments of their extensive establishment.

They are as suitable for the child first entering on the journey of life, as for the aged and infirm. The Ointment is a specific for the cuts, bruises, abrasions and eruptions often witnessed in a nursery, and it is no less efficient in healing up soundly and permanently the chronic ulcers and bad legs which so often heap misery on advanced years. By an early attention to the instructions wrapped round each packet of Ointment and Pills, any moderately intelligent person may abridge or * discomfort and noisery of chronic ill health.
