 CATHARINE LORILLARD WOLFE, DAUGHTER OF JOHN DAVID 
 WOLFE AND DOROTHEA ANN LORILLARD HIS WIFE, WAS BORN 
 IN NEW YORK CITY, MARCH STH, 1828. 
 
 SHE DIED IN THIS CITY, APRIL 4TH, 1887. 
 
 Miss Wolfe was descended from an old Lutheran family in 
 Saxony, whence her great grandfather, John David Wolfe, came 
 to this country before the year 1729. He died in 1759, leaving 
 four children, of whom the eldest was David. David Wolfe lived 
 till near the end of a long life of eighty-eight years in the old 
 family residence on Fair, now Fulton Street, and this, with other 
 city real estate has remained in the possession of the family to 
 the present time. In the war of the revolution, David Wolfe 
 and his brother Christopher served their country with credit. 
 After the war David and his younger brother, John Albert, were 
 partners as hardware merchants in this city, and about 1816 they 
 were succeeded in business by Christopher, son of John Albert, 
 and John David, son of David. 
 
 John David Wolfe, (born July 24, 1792), retired from active 
 business in the prime of his life. Thereafter he devoted his 
 large wealth and judicious labors to benevolent purposes, largely 
 in the foundation and encouragement of educational, charitable 
 and religious institutions. He was devoutly attached to the 
 Episcopal church, was for some time vestryman of Trinity parish; 
 afterward vestryman, and at the time of his death, senior warden 
 of Grace church. His memory is perpetuated in many noble 
 institutions, not only in his native city but in various and remote 
 parts of the country. Some of these were foundations laid by 
 himself alone, others by him in association with generous men who 
 were imbued with like spirit. The gifts and noble works of these 
 men have made the fame of the merchant princes of New York 
 
 J

 an enduring and priceless possession to their successors, their city 
 and the world. Mr. Wolfe's charities were always without ostenta- 
 tion, and his private gifts were undoubtedly larger than those 
 which were known. Churches and church foundations of benev- 
 olence and education in all parts of the country received his never 
 failing aid. St. Johnland on Long Island, the Sheltering Arms in 
 this city, the High School at Denver in Colorado, the Diocesan 
 School at Topeka in Kansas, the Theological Seminary in Ohio, 
 these and many other institutions bear witness to his munificent 
 heart and hands. He was warmly attached to the New York 
 Historical Society in whose important work and collections he 
 was a free contributor of means and an active personal laborer. 
 He was one of the founders of the American Museum of Natural 
 History in this city, and was its first President when he died, 
 May 17, 1872, in the eightieth year of his age, leaving but one 
 child, Catharine Loriilard, surviving him, who succeeded to the 
 large property. 
 
 Miss Wolfe was endowed with a mind of remarkable 
 power, cultivated by education, reading and extended travel. 
 Her biography cannot be written here. She devoted herself 
 and her large and largely increasing wealth to the widest and 
 most effective charity, governing herself in her gifts by careful 
 examination and calm judgment, where personal investiga- 
 tion could be made, and where that was not possible, displaying 
 her superior ability in the selection of sound and trustworthy 
 advisers, on whom she relied with confidence. The catalogue of 
 her specific charities would be much longer than this catalogue 
 of her collection of paintings. Her catholic disposition in these 
 may be gathered from the names of a few such objects of her 
 larger appropriations, as Union College at Schenectady, St. 
 Luke's Hospital in New York, the noble charities at St. Johnland 
 on Long Island, the American Chapel at Rome in Italy, the 
 Italian Mission in Mulberry Street, New York, the American 
 School of Classical Studies at Athens, Grace Church in New- 
 York City, to which she gave the chantry and other buildings, 
 The Wolfe Expedition to Asia, the Home for Incurables at Ford- 
 ham, the Diocesan House in Lafayette Place, New York the 
 list must stop abruptly. There is not space to enumerate half of 
 her recorded gifts, in sums varying from twenty to two hundred 
 
CATHARINE LORILLARD WOLFE. 5 
 
 thousand dollars. But those who should form an estimate of 
 Miss Wolfe's benevolence from the mere magnitude and number 
 of her gifts, would fail to appreciate her inner life and character. 
 She was constant and unfailing in personal charities among 
 those who were suffering. She visited the poor, and her presence 
 always carried with it the atmosphere of purity and kindness in 
 which she lived. She educated young girls; she had always large 
 numbers of beneficiaries; she sought out opportunities to relieve 
 the poor and those who were in trouble or sorrow. When she 
 was absent in Europe she did not forget home benevolence. A 
 friend tells of her sending to him in New York, from her boat 
 on the Nile, $25,000 in a check, to be distributed in charities. 
 
 Nor did she, while devoting so much of her life to good works, 
 fail in any degree to fulfill the duties of that position in the social 
 world to which she was called by her wealth and her accomplish- 
 ments. She recognized those duties, and performed them with 
 grace and dignity as the accomplished hostess in her own house, 
 and the always welcome guest in others. Those who knew her 
 best admired and loved her most. 
 
 She had from early life cultivated her affection for the fine 
 arts, and before her father's death had purchased several paint- 
 ings which are in the present catalogue. Her taste was excellent, 
 and her judgment strengthened by study and very thorough 
 acquaintance with the works of old and modern artists. She 
 had therefore, great enjoyment in gathering around her, in her 
 city residence, examples of masters in the modern schools, a 
 work which was continued steadily from year to year through 
 her life, and in which she was happy in her reliance for advice 
 and assistance on her kinsman John Wolfe, Esq., through whom 
 most of her selections .were made. Nevertheless she exercised 
 a completely independent taste, which decided her, after thorough 
 Acquaintance with a painting, whether to retain or reject it. The 
 collection which is here catalogued is therefore an absolute 
 record of the educated and refined taste of the lady whose name 
 it bears. 
 
 Miss Wolfe had a constant interest in the Metropolitan Museum 
 of Art to whose collections she had been a large contributor, and 
 of which she was one of the patrons. Her interest in Art 
 History had been exhibited s' only before her death by her gift 
 
CATHARINE LORILLARD WOLFE. 
 
 to the American School at Athens, and by her payment of the 
 expenses of an expedition to Asia, for the purpose of exploration, 
 with reference to future work of excavation among the buried 
 remains of Ancient Art. 
 
 By her last will she disposed of more than a million dollars in 
 money and objects of art, for the perpetuation of those works of 
 Christian charity and centres of education of the people to which 
 her father and herself had so wisely and faithfully contributed. 
 Her gifts to the Museum of Art illustrate the judicious considera- 
 tion which had characterized all her generosity. Taking into 
 consideration, as few have ever done, the fact that in a museum 
 without an endowment, dependent on its members for its current 
 expenses, every new gift entails increased expense on the institu- 
 tion, she not only gave to the museum her collection of paint- 
 ings, but added an endowment of $200,000, the income to be 
 used for the preservation and increase of the collection. 
 
 The following is an extract from the section of her will, making 
 
 these provisions: 
 
 '"I give and bequeath to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, chartered by the 
 State of New York and located in the City of New York, all articles of the 
 following descript on which may belong to me at the time of my decease and be. 
 then situated or remaining in the City of New York, namely: my entire col- 
 lection of modern oil paintings, with their frames, and also my water color 
 drawings with their frames, which paintings include the original portrait of my 
 late father, John D-vid Wulfe, by Huntington, and my own portrait by 
 Alexander Cabanel, all which works of art by this section of my will disposed of 
 shall be properly selected, and scheduled by my executors, and shall thereafter 
 and within six months after my decease be delivered by them to said Metropolitan 
 Museum of Art as its own absoluce property, and subject to its absolute disposal, 
 but with the desire and hope on my part that the same may be had, held and 
 exhibited by that institution for the enjoyment and recreation of all who m^y 
 frequent its rooms, and also with a view to the education and cultivation of the 
 public taste for the fine arts.^ This gift, however, is upon express condition 
 that the trustees and managers of said institution shall provide and set apart 
 exclusively for the said collection a suitable, well-lighted fire-proof apartment, 
 gallery or separate space, where the paintings and water color drawings herein 
 mentioned shall be properly arranged and displayed; and provided also, that 
 said collection shall be designated and continue to be known as the "Catharine 
 Lorillard Wolfe Collection." And in order to provide for the better preservation 
 of the said paintings and drawings, and the future increase of said collection, I 
 give and bequeath to my executors the sum of two hundred thousand dollars in 
 money (or in stocks or securities deemed by them to be of that value) upon trust, 
 to be held and kept invested in United States or State stocks or bonds in good 
 credit, or other securities, strictly approved for the investment of trust funds, 
 and to receive the interest or income thereof and apply the net amount of the 
 same as it shall from time to time accrue to the use of the said Metropolitan 
 Museum of Art during the lives of David Wolfe Bishop and Louie L. Lorillard, 
 two of said executors, and the life of the survivor of them to the intent that such 
 income shall be applied from time to time by said institution for such judicious 
 repairs as may be necessary to the said works of art, and any surplus thereof to- 
 be expended for the purchase or acquisition of other original modern oil paint- 
 ings, either by native or foreign artists, but only for works e>f acknowledged 
 merit and superior excellence, both in subject and execution, in the departments 
 cf art known as figure, landscape and genre subjects, and which shall become 
 additions to the original collection hereby bequeathed, and shall continue to be 
 part of the collection designated and known as aforesaid."

 28. KAULBACH, WILHELM. Crusaders before Jerusalem. The in- 
 tention of the artist was to express symbolically the idea that Christianity 
 has become the triumphant religion of the universe ; in the middle and 
 extreme distance can be seen the city of Jerusalem with its domes and 
 palaces, the crusaders coveted goal; somewhat removed, some crusaders 
 contemplate the city from a hill-top, a group of eminent knights, 
 ecclesiastics, bishops and crusade preachers; on another hill to the right 
 can be seen the army of crusaders commanded by Godfrey cf Bouillon, 
 who holds uplifted in both hands, a crown, symbol of the divine right of 
 the Kings of Jerusalem; near him are Boemond and Tancredi, soldiers 
 who had distinguished themselves in the memorable battles the crusaders 
 fought with the Saracens. The ground is covered with the enemy's dead. 
 On the foreground in the middle, are Peter of Amiens on his knees, with 
 eyes turned towards the Holy city and offering to God prayers of thanks- 
 giving. Behind him a group of penitents lying on the ground or 
 scourging themselves; above, borne on clouds, is seen the divine 
 apparition of the Redeemer accompanied by the Holy Virgin and sur- 
 rounded by the Saints and Martyrs. Godfrey of Bouillon bearing on his 
 head a crown of thorns, offers the crown of the Holy Land to the Saviour, 
 the real King of Jerusalem. Near Peter of Amiens is a group of fervent 
 psalmists of the Christian faith, followed by the Knights in magnificent 
 armor. The Troubadour of the middle ages, so closely associated with 
 the romances of the Crusaders, here also finds his place. The beautiful 
 Armida, borne seated on a litter draped with laurel branches, is carried 
 by Moors, while her Knight, Rinaldo, leads the way to the city, as pious, 
 and beautiful, she lifts her gaze to the heavenly apparition.

 The Brittany peasantry are almost as wild as their country, excessively 
 quaint in their costume, wearing broad-brimmed hats and flowing hair, and 
 in some districts trunk hose of the l6th century: They are usually spare 
 and wiry in their persons, are almost unchanged in their manners, 
 customs and habits, and old legends and superstitions still retain their hold 
 on the popular mind. Of ancient monuments of different ages there is no 
 lack in Brittany, and above all of Celtic remains ; those extraordinary masses 
 of rough unhewn stones are supposed to be in some way connected with the 
 
14 METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART. 
 
 religion of the Druids. Brittany appears to have been the sacred land of the 
 Gauls, the centre of their worship to which the various nations and tribes 
 repaired on pilgrimages at stated times to pay their devotions. Their 
 mysterious influence is not yet by any means effaced from the minds of 
 the lower orders of Brittany. The influence of paganism lingered long 
 in these remote wilds, indeed the inhabitants of Ouessant are said to have 
 been idolaters until within two hundred years. Hence has arisen a strange 
 jumble of paganism and Romanism. Heathen divinities were replaced 
 by saints, of which the number in Brittany exceeds that of any part of 
 Romish Europe. Almost every church has its strange legend, and 
 every saint his special patronage, and on his fete day a pilgrimage or 
 Pardon is celebrated, when indulgence for past sins is obtained. These 
 pardons or festivals often are nearly equivalent to the German Kirchweich, 
 the Flemish Kermes, and the Irish Wake. The pardon St. Mathurin 
 held at Lamballe on Whit Sunday is much frequented by pilgrims, who 
 dance the old Breton dances. The pardon celebrated four times a year 
 at Rumegol near Le Faou is attended with very curious ceremonies. 
 These pardons take place at fixed periods around about certain churches, 
 but often in uncultivated fields, where tents are erected and where the 
 fete continues for several days and is attended by thousands of the 
 peasantry of both sexes The most important of these pardons are those 
 of St. Anne d' Auray, and of St Anne de Palud, which last is the most 
 picturesque of all, and takes place at the sea-side. The one represented 
 in M. Breton's picture is held at Kergoat, near Douarnenez and Quimper.

 convened under a false pretext, their leaders. 
 
 They were to meet in the old Palace of Cairo, and these proud 
 Mamelukes in gorgeous robes, and golden helmets shining in the sun, 
 rode up the strange narrow street cut out of the solid rock, where in this 
 narrow defile, conscienceless Mehemet laid his trap. When the brilliant 
 procession arrived at the gate " El Azale," the soldiers cried " Treason " 
 as they saw each house filled with Albanians armed with long guns. 
 The Mamelukes surrounded by impassable walls, fell like ripe corn under 
 a hail of bullets, a confused mass of men and beasts : the horses neighing 
 in their fright bounded through pools of blood over the bodies of the 
 wounded, while the conquerors of a hundred battles, now conquered, 
 shook their clenched fists at the terrible walls. Death passed over them 
 like a whirlwind, not sparing one out of the five hundred horsemen."

 head, and a mitre of birch-bark on Knut's, mounted them on starving 
 
 horses, and brought them through Upsala to Stockholm in a Shrove- 
 tide procession, amidst jeers and insults. They were led to the 
 market-place, and, after drinking to the executioner's health, were 
 broken on the wheel.) Dated 1870.

 Mile. Rosa Bonheur made her Debut at the Paris Salon of 
 1841, to which she sent two small pictures of sheep, goats 
 and rabbits. She exhibited each following year except 1851-52. 
 In 1853 she exhibited her masterpiece, the now famous "Horse 
 Fair." The subsequent history of this Painting is given in the fol- 
 lowing extract from a letter written to Mr. S. P. Avery by Mr. Ernest 
 Gambart, the original purchaser of the picture, formerly of London, 
 and now retired from business and living at Nice : "I will give you 
 the real history of the ' Horse Fair ' now in New York. It was 
 painted in 1852 by Rosa Bonheur, then in her thirtieth year, and 
 exhibited in the next Salon. Though much admired, it did not find 
 a purchaser. It was soon after exhibited at Ghent, meeting again 
 with much appreciation, but was not sold, as art did not flourish at 
 the time. In 1855, the picture was sent by Mile. Rosa Bonheur to 
 her native town of Bordeaux and exhibited there. She offered to sell 
 it to the town at the very low price of 12,000 francs ($2,400). While 
 
22 METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART. 
 
 there I asked her if she would sell it to me and allow me to take it to* 
 England and have it engraved. She said ; 'I wish my picture to 
 remain in France. I will once more impress on my countrymen my 
 wish to sell it to them for 12,000 francs. If they refuse, you can have 
 it, but if you take it abroad you must pay me 40,000 francs.' The 
 town failing to make the purchase I at once accepted these terms, 
 and Rosa Bonheur then placed the picture at my disposal. I ten- 
 dered her the 40,000 francs and she said : ' I am much gratified at 
 your giving me such a noble price, but I do not like to feel that I 
 have taken advantage of your liberality. Let us see how we can 
 combine in the matter. You will not be able to have an engraving 
 made from so large a canvas. Suppose I paint you a small one of 
 the same subject, of which I will make you a present.' Of course I 
 accepted the gift, and thus it happened that the large work went trav- 
 elling over the kingdom on exhibition, while Thomas Landseer was 
 making an engraving from the quarter-size replica. 
 
 " After some time, in 1857 (I think), I sold the original picture to 
 Mr. Wm. P. Wright, New York (whose picture gallery and residence 
 were at Weehauken, N. J.), for the sum of 30,000 francs, but as he 
 claimed a share of the profits of its exhibition in New York and other 
 cities, he really paid me only 22,000 francs for it. I offered to re- 
 purchase the picture in 1870 for 50,000 fiancs, but ultimately I un- 
 derstood that Mr. Stewart paid a much larger price for it on the dis- 
 persion of Mr. Wright's gallery. The quarter-size replica, from 
 which the engraving was made, I finally sold to Mr. Jacob Bell, who^ 
 bequeathed it, in 1859, to the nation, and it is now in the National 
 Gallery in London. A second, still smaller replica, was painted a 
 few years later, and was re-sold some time ago in London for ^"4,000 
 ($20,000). There is also a smaller water-color drawing, which was 
 sold to Mr. Bolckow for 2,500 guineas ($12,000), and is now an heir- 
 loom belonging to the town of Middleborough. That is the whole 
 history of this grand work. The Stewart canvas is the real and true 
 original, and only large size ' Horse Fair.' 
 
 " Once in Mr. Stewart's possession, it never left his gallery until 
 the auction sale of his collection, March 25, 1887, when it was pur- 
 chased by Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt for the sum of $53,500, and pre- 
 sented to The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Hamerton calls Rosa 
 Bonheur 'the most accomplished female painter who ever lived, 'and 
 adds: 'She is a pure and generous woman as well, and can hardly 
 be too much admired, whether we regard her as woman or artist. 
 She is simple in her tastes and habits of life, and many stories are 
 told of her generosity to others.' "

 206. PILOTY, CARL THEODOR Vox. Thusnelda at the Triumphal Entry 
 of Germanicus into Rome. 
 
 Painted to order for the late A. T. Stewart, Esq. At the request of 
 Emperor William, was exhibited in Berlin before being sent to this 
 country. The large painting now in the Munich Gallery was painted 
 subsequent to the above. 
 The following description is by the painter, Piloty : 
 
 The Emperor Tiberius, surrounded by his Courtiers (Favorites, 
 Councillors, Lictors, Senators and Roman Women,) has taken his 
 place upon a tribune under a spread canopy, in order that the tri- 
 umphal procession of Germanicus may pass before him. 
 
 Germanicus appears in the background upon a triumphal car, 
 accompanied by his five sons, surrounded by Trophies of Victory, 
 and is greeted by the applause and acclamations of the people, who 
 are to be seen at the Arch of Triumph. 
 
 In front of the car, reaching from the middle distance to the 
 foreground of the picture, are the German Captives being led in 
 chains. As principal figure of this group and of the picture, walks 
 Thusnelda, in the costume of the Germans, with her son, Tumelicus 
 (a child of three years), accompanied by a nurse and an attendant. 
 Before her is the Priest, Libes. coupled (chained) together with War- 
 riors, escorted by Roman Soldiers, who insult them. Behind Thus- 
 nelda are to be seen her brothers, leaders of the Cherusker, 
 chained together, with bears, etc., etc. The foreground to the left 
 is occupied by populace of Rome, who mock and insult Thusnelda. 
 
 Thusnelda, having been forcibly carried away from her hus- 
 band, Arminius a German Prince, by her father Segestes, was, from 
 reasons which appeared to him advantageous for his own personal 
 interests and the condition of the Germans, betrayed and delivered 
 into the hands of the Romans. 
 
 In the picture, Tiberius has selected Segestes to stand before 
 the steps of his throne and has forced him to witness the shame of 
 his own daughter ; he is mocked by the Senators sitting near him, 
 they point to the prisoners below. 
 
 Strabo describes, as an eye-witness, this event ; he, as well as 
 Tacitus, although Romans, express plainly their sympathy for the

 devotion and love of country exhibited by Thusnelda, whose person- 
 ality will ever be a poetical subject for an artist.

 In the year 1857, the late Mr. Albert Have meyer, of this city, 
 being then in Berlin, called on Baron von Humboldt and requested 
 him to sit to the eminent artist, Julius Schrader, for his portrait. 
 The Baron was obliged to decline the frequent and urgent solicita- 
 tions of his many admirers for a similar favor, but having in the 
 United States many personal friends and acquaintances whom he 
 thought would be gratified to see a good portrait of himself, cheer- 
 fully consented to sit ; and taking from his table a number of 
 sketches made by himself, he selected one having in the background 
 Chimborazo, and said, " I will be painted sitting here," designating 
 the spot with Chimborazo in the distance. The artist commenced 
 the picture at once, and at its completion the Baron expressed him- 
 self as delighted with it. This was th<? last portrait, from life, of 
 Humboldt.

 LETTER FROM THE ARTIST TO MR. A. T. STEWART. 
 
 MY DEAR MR. STEWART : 
 
 I have delayed writing you because my letter must be a last 
 adieu to a work of many years an act of final separation. You 
 will comprehend why I wished to do so only at the last moment j 
 as, however great may be my satisfaction to know you are to be its 
 possessor, I can only part with it with pain a picture which has 
 been for so long a time the life and joy of my studio. 
 
 Le voila, that which will be soon in 7 your possession, be good 
 enough to receive as a friend ; not as one that pleases at the first 
 contact, and is then soon forgotten, but as one of those who, by inti- 
 mate acquaintance, is loved more and more. Permit me to believe 
 that when you are looking at this picture on which I have bestowed 
 all the science and experience I have been able to acquire in my art 
 your pleasure will constantly grow greater. 
 
 I have the conviction which I do not express without a certain 
 pride that the value of this work will increase with time. What 
 may or can be said of it will pass away, but the picture will remain, 
 to be an honor to both of us ; and although it can defend itself, yet, 
 among the thousands of persons who have hastened to see it, many- 
 have done it injustice with a certain malevolent appreciation still 
 I have the right, having painted it with so much sincerity of pur- 
 pose, to defend and explain it. Strange as this may appear, it must 
 be done ; because, however singular may be the fact, some, I under- 
 stand, have not been pleased to go and see for themselves, but 
 have adopted the unfair judgment of others. 
 
 I did not intend to paint a Battle I wanted to paint Napoleon 
 at the zenith of his glory ; I wanted to paint the love, the adoration 
 of the soldiers for the great Captain in whom they had faith, and 
 for whom they were ready to die. 
 
 I previously had represented, in the picture " 1814," the heart- 
 rending end of the Imperial Dream those men, only recently intox- 
 icated with glory, now shown exhausted and no longer believing in 
 their invincible chief. My palette then did not have colors sad 
 enough for the purpose ; but to-day, in "Friedland, 1807," wishing 
 everything to appear brilliant at this triumphant moment, it seemed 
 to me I was unable to find colors sufficiently dazzling. No shade 
 should be upon the Imperial face, to take from him the epic char- 
 acter I wished to give him. The battle, already commenced, was 
 necessary to add to the enthusiasm of the soldiers, and make the 
 
CATALOGUE OF PAINTINGS. 27 
 
 subject stand forth, but not to diminish it by saddening details. 
 All such shadows I avoided, and presented nothing but a dis- 
 mounted cannon and some growing wheat which would never ripen. 
 
 This was enough. 
 
 The men and the Emperor are in the presence of each other. 
 The soldiers cry to him that they are his, and the impressive Chief, 
 whose Imperial will directs the masses that move around, salutes 
 his devoted army. He and they plainly comprehend each other, 
 and absolute confidence is expressed in every face. 
 
 Such was the idea as it leaped from my brain the first instant 
 when I embodied the picture in thought ; and which, in spite of the 
 long time I have taken to put it on canvas, has always remained with 
 me so clear and plain that I have never in any manner modified it. 
 
 As to the execution, only a painter (and one of great experi- 
 ience) can say what time, labor and patience have been brought to 
 bear upon this work to produce a single whole out of so many 
 diverse elements. Only he can say how difficult it is, from such 
 varied materials, to put aside all these artifices which so often are 
 used in art to cover defects. The growing wheat is even proof of 
 the difficulties I have encountered in covering it with the dust 
 which hides so many things. 
 
 I said to you at the beginning, and again let me repeat it, that 
 I have faith in my work. Time will consolidate and strengthen it 
 more and more, and I am almost certain your enlightened love for 
 art will protect it, in case there should be need. 
 
 Now, dear sir, let me close by offering you my portrait. You 
 desire to have one, and I have had the pleasure of painting it for 
 you myself. With it I trust you will speak of me more intimately, 
 and will always be enabled to recall how much I am, 
 Your devoted,

 refuge in his native town. Hither he was pursued by Sciarra 
 Colonna, at that time head of the most celebrated and powerful of the 
 Roman aristocratic families. The picture represents the moment 
 when Boniface says to his assailants, " Here is my neck ; here is 
 my head ; strike! but I will die Pope." Boniface was thrown into 
 prison, and though liberated by the people of Anagni, died within a

 PARIS, May 29, 1879. 
 MR. HENRY HILTON : 
 
 MY DEAR SIR I have learned with great pleasure that you have 
 become the purchaser of my painting, exhibited this year in our Art 
 Salon, and I am happy that it finds a place in your gallery, which 
 enjoys a very great reputation in France. I know that I shall be 
 "in good company" with you, and it is so much the more gratifying 
 to me, as I consider this last painting the most important work I 
 have ever produced. 
 
 The episode which I have chosen gives scope for a great devel- 
 opment of subject. It is the moment when the division of General 
 Faron (now Inspector of Marine), after having taken Champigny, 
 situated above the Marne, fortified itself in the village and defended^ 
 foot by foot, the houses and enclosures against the return attack of 
 the Saxony and Wurtemburg divisions, in the battle of 2d December, 
 1870. The chateau which I have shown is one of those which is 
 found at the fork of the two roads of Chennevieres a place well 
 known to those Parisians who took part in the scenes of the siege of 
 Paris. The officer shown in the centre of the picture is General 
 Faron, who was appointed General of Division on the field of battle^ 
 
.30 METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART. 
 
 The foot soldiers belong to the H3th Regiment of the Line, who lost 
 a great number in the three days of fight. The Sappers, who are 
 making the embrasures in the wall to allow the sharpshooters to fire 
 under protection, and are barricading the opening with all kinds of 
 material ; the artillerists, who are placing the battery guns in posi- 
 tion ; all likewise were under the orders of General Faron, who at 
 this time commanded the right wing of the French army. 
 
 I have endeavored to portray, in the most exact manner possible, 
 the various scenes of which I was a witness, having been myself a 
 soldier in the "Garde Mobile" during the siege of Paris ; and in 
 painting this work I have had the advantage of being able to repro- 
 duce some souvenirs absolutely personal. I attach, therefore, 
 much importance to this painting, and am specially desirous outside 
 of the Paris Exhibition for permission to exhibit it in Germany, 
 where I have been very particularly solicited to show my military 
 works. 
 
 I particularly desire to be represented at this international gather 
 ing, and I have selected naturally this my most important work. It is 
 the first time since the war of 1870 that French art has been exhib- 
 ited in Germany, and the presence of military paintings recalling 
 souvenirs of the late war will add a peculiar piquancy. 
 
 I have always been very sensible of the favors shown me in 
 America, and I am happy to be able to testify this to you especially. 
 
 Receive, sir, the expression of my distinguished regards, etc.

 Justinian I. '(Flavius Anicius Justinianus) surnamed the great, a 
 Byzantine Emperor, born at Tauresium, a village near Sardica (now 
 Sophia) in Bulgaria, in 482, or 483 ; died, 565. He was the son of a 
 poor barbarian family, but his elevation was promoted by his uncle 
 Justin I. who, shortly before his death in 527, adopted him as Co- 
 Emperor. The political event of his reign may be summed up in the 
 wars of Belisarius and the eunuch Narses, who obtained successes 
 over the Persians in the East, and the Vandals and Goths in Italy, 
 and in the terrible sedition which broke out at Constantinople in 532. 
 The glory of his reign is the famous digest of Roman law, known 
 generally as the Justinian Code, which was compiled out of the Gre- 
 gorian, Theodosian, Hermogenian codes, by the ablest lawyers of 
 the empire, under the genius of the juris-consult, Tribonian. Their 
 labors consist I. of the " Statute Law," or Justinian Code, properly 
 so called. II. " The Pandects," a digest of the decisions and opinions 
 of former magistrates and lawyers these two compilations consisted 
 of matter that lay scattered through more than two thousand volumes, 
 now reduced to fifty. III. " The Institutes," an abridgment in four 
 books, containing the substance of all the laws in elementary form. 
 IV. The laws of modern date, including Justinian's own edicts, col- 
 lected into ope volume, and called "The New Code." These labors 
 which a Caesar had not been able to accomplish, were completed by 
 the year 541. Besides this important work of imperial reform, Jus- 
 tinian was a great builder and engineer, and works of public utility 
 were kept constantly in progress in all parts of the empire. He was 
 remarkable for his temperance and chastity, and not less for his great 
 learning and diligent application to business.
