Daughter of Sir Thomas Middleton, married first to Edward Rich, 4th Earl of Holland and 6th Earl of Warwick, and secondly, in 1716, to Joseph Addison, the essayist, poet, &c. This second marriage is generally said to have been ill-assorted. Johnson says that it resembled the marriages in which a sultan gives his daughter a man to be a slave, and there is a report that Addison used to escape from his uncomfortable splen- dour at Holland House to a coffee-house at Kensington.

In 1758 he joined Boscawen and Amherst in the reduction of Louisburg, from whence he had just returned when he was appointed to command the expedition to Quebec. The enterprise was hazardous, but Wolfe sur- mounted all difficulties and encountered the enemy on the heights of Abraham, September 13, 1759. In the moment of victory he received a ball in the wrist and another in the body. In his last agonies he was roused by the cry, "They run," on which he eagerly asked, " Who runs ? " and on being told the French, he said, " I thank God, I die content," and expired. His body was brought to England and buried at Greenwich. Small full-length, standing in a landscape, facing, in military uniform ; right hand ex- tended, holding hat ; left on hilt of his sword. Canvas 29 X 24 in. Lent by Clifford Ch.'VPLIN, Esq. .

Although highly accomplished she passed her hfe in celibacy, but apparently not without attachments. The Dukes of Grafton and Newcastle it was said, paid her great attention, and according to Walpole, the wooings of the former were so far from being disagreeable that the Princess and the Duke hunted two or three times a week together, and on one occasion stayed out unusually late, lost their attendants, and went together to a private house in Windsor Forest, to the great indignation of the Queen. She was Ranger of Richmond Park, and her manners and dress were exceedingly masculine, even to taking immense quantities of snuff.

Three-quarter length, life-size, to left, in naval uniform, right hand resting on sword, left on hip ; sea in the background. Canvas 50 X 40 in. Painted in 1799. After his trial by court-martial at Portsmouth and acquittal, Keppel presented bank-notes for ^1000 to each of his counsel for their professional assist- ance. These were John Lee, the Solicitor-General, John Dunning, afterwards Lord Ashburton, and Thomas Erskine, afterwards Lord Chancellor. Lee and Dunning returned the money ; Erskine, who was the youngest of the three, having a wife and eight children depending upon him, was still too poor to follow their example. The Admiral's letters and his friends' replies have the same stamp of generous affection which seems to radiate from Keppel to all about him. Lee writes, " Will you make me a present of your picture, painted by Mr. Dance, who takes excellent likenesses, that I may keep it, and my family after me ?" Keppel did better. He sat to Sir Joshua for a three-quarter length portrait, and had four repetitions of it painted, one of which he gave to Lee, one to Dunning, and one to Burke. The other hangs at Quiddenham. The portrait which he presented to Erskine was not completed till four years after this. The four portraits were finished by November, and on receiving his copy Burke writes, " I assure you, my dear sir, that though I possess the portraits of friends highly honoured by me and very dear to me on all accounts, yours stands alone, and I intend that it shall so continue, to mark the impression I have received of this ^2 Exhibition of the Royal House of Guelph. most flattering mark of your friendship." This picture was preserved at Beaconsfield whilst Burke Hved. His widow left it to Earl Fitzwilliam, and it still hangs at Milton. The above picture was the copy presented to Lee, who was himself painted by Reynolds in 1786, since which date the two portraits have always hung side by side, and have never been separated, and on that condition have been lent to the present Exhibition (see No. 97).

He took a leading part in the debates, and especially distinguished himself by his speeches on the great American question, on Catholic Emancipation, economical reform, the affairs of India, and the prosecution of Warren Hastings.

Canvas 21 X 28 in. This picture was given by Hogarth to Horace Walpole. It was painted when the House of Commons appointed a committee to inquire into the cruelties exercised on prisoners in the Fleet, to extort money from them. " The scene," Walpole says " is the com- mittee, on the table are the mstruments of torture, a prisoner in rags half starved appears before them ; the poor man has a good countenance that adds to the interest. On the other hand is the inhuman gaoler. Villany, fear, and conscience are mixed in yellow and livid in the countenance, his lips are contractedby tremor, his face advances as eager to lie, his legs step back as thinking to make his escape ; one hand is thrust precipitately into his bosom, the fingers of the other are catching uncertainly at his button-holes. If this was a portrait it is the most striking that ever was drawn ; if it was not, it is still finer." This portrait is that of Bambridge the Warden of the Fleet ; and the sketch was taken in the beginning of the year 1729, when Bambridge and Huggins (his predecessor) were under examination. Both were declared " notoriously guilty of great breaches of trust, extortions, cruelties, and other high crimes and misdemeanours," and both were sent to Newgate. Bambridge was disqualified by Act of Parliament, and ended his life by suicide. By W. Hogarth. Lent by The Earl of Carlisle. 42 Exhibition of the Royal House of Guelph. 128.

So renowned were these sisters for their beauty and good fortune, that in Ireland the beggar women upon receiving alms exclaimed, " The luck of the Gunnings attend you."

Being re-called by Frederick William, he commanded at Leystadt in 1794, and also at Jena, which battle decided for a time the Prussian Monarchy. In the European coalition against Napoleon in 18 13, Blucher distinguished himself at Liitzen and Leipsic, entered Paris with the allies in 1814, and commanded at Ligny in 181 5, and by a desperate eftbrt completed the defeat of the French at Waterloo.

He resigned the seals in April 1783, but resumed them on the dissolution of the Coalition Ministry of Lord North and Mr. Fox, and held them till 1792. Died at Brighton September 13, 1806. Lord Thurlov/ was a man of stern manners, of inflexible integrity, but as a judge did not stand very high.

After her marriage she never sang in public. Died in 1792. She was an accomplished singer and remarkable for her beauty. Walpole writes of her, March 16, 1773 ; " I was not at the ball last night, and have only been to the opera, where I was infinitely struck with the Carrara, who is the prettiest creature upon earth. Mrs. Hartley I am to find still handsomer, and Miss Linley to be the superlative degree.

Canvas 262 X 23 in. This picture was painted by Gainsborough during his residence at Bath and shortly before Miss Linley's marriage. Thicknesse tells the following anecdote : "After returning from a concert at Bath, where we had been charmed by Miss Linley's voice, I went home to supper with my friend (Gainsborough), who sent his servant for a bit of clay from the small beer barrel, with which he modelled and then coloured her head, and that too in a quarter of an hour, in such a manner that I protest it appeared to me even superior to his paintings. The next day I took a friend or two to his house to see it, but it was not to be seen, the servant had thrown it down from the mantel-piece and broken it. Mr. Leslie had in his possession an exquisite plaster cast of Miss Linley (from a clay model by Gainsborough) which shared the same fete. Gainsborough used now and then to model the faces of his friends in miniature, finding the material in the wax-candles before him." By T. Gainsborough, R.A.

In 1779 he bought " The Nativity,'' for which he paid ^1,200 — a price for an English picture at that time quite unexampled. Again in January, 1780, we find the painter visiting Belvoir and executing portraits of the Duchess and her two eldest children, the Marquess of Granby and Lady Elizabeth Manners ; both pictures being afterwards burnt in 1816 : and in 1786 Reynolds carries through for the Duke the purchase of the "Seven Sacraments" of Poussin, obtained from the Borrapudule Palace at Rome.

Succeeded as Earl Harcourt in 1777, and was appointed Master of the Horse to Queen Charlotte in 1790. Died without issue April 20, 1809. In his early days Lord Nuneham spent much time m foreign travels ; in consequence his entrance into public life was marked by a decided preference for French manners and fashions, and his appearance so adapted to it as almost to disguise the exterior of an Englishman. Half-length, life-size, to right, black dress ; he holds in left hand a sketch. Canvas 34^ X 27* in. This picture was painted in 1753, or two years earlier than that of his father, the ist Earl (see No. 145). There is no mention of it in Reynolds's diary. Lord Harcourt in his catalogue states that it cost ;^I2 loj-., and in praising the picture says "the transparent colouring of this head can scarcely be surpassed." The painter seems to have been on intimate terms with the Harcourt family, and Nuneham was one of his favourite visiting places. The 2nd Earl had a fine and cultivated taste in the arts, was an excellent etcher and a clever draughtsman. Walpole writes to him in the highest praise of his work. By Sir J. Reynolds, P.R.A.

He published his poem of London^ a. satire, in 1738, Li/e of Savage, in 1744, TJie Vanity of Human Wislies in 1749, and after more than seven years' labour, his Dzc/ionary of the English Language in 1755 ; these were followed at a later date by Rasselas, 7 he Idler, Lives of the Poets, &c. In 1762 he received a pension from George III., in 1765 the degree of LL.D. from Dublin, and M.A. from Oxford in 1755. Died December 13, 17S4, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. "Johnson, in appearance, was in all respects massive. His exterior was unwieldy, his manners were not polished, but he had a tender heart." Half-length, life-size, to right ; brown gown, hands raised in act of declamation ; books on shelf in background. Canvas 30 X 25 in. This picture was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1770, where it hung side by side with those of Goldsmith (see No. 211) and Colman. It was not the first portrait by Reynolds of his friend, as Johnson had already sat to him in 1757, 1761, 1763, and 1767. Again in 1777 Reynolds paints another portrait of Johnson in which he is represented holding a book close to his eyes. Johnson remonstrated against such a record of his near-sightedness, and said to Mrs. Thrale, " Reynolds may paint him- self as deaf as he chooses, but I will not be Blinkitig Sarn." Two years later, October 15, 1778, Johnson writes in his diary to Mrs. Thrale, " I have sat twice to Sir Joshua and he seems to like his own performance. He has projected another in which I am to be busy, but we can think on it at leisure." And again (October 31) " Sir Joshua has finished my picture and it seems to please everybody ; but I shall wait to see how it pleases you." By Sir J. Reynolds, P.R.A. Lent by The Lord S.ackville.

Son of a money-scrivener, born in Cornhill, London, was educated at Peterhouse, Cambridge, and entered at the Inner Temple. He accompanied Horace Walpole on his travels abroad in 1739, but they parted and Gray returned home in 1741. He then settled at Cambridge, and published his Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College, 1747 ; Elegy tvrittcn in a Country C/mrchyard, in 1752. He migrated to Pembroke Hall in 1756, declined the Poet-Laureateship in 1757, and was appointed Pro- fessor of Modern History in 1768. His Progress of Poesy and The Bard were both printed at Walpole's Strawberry Hill Press in 1757. He died in 1771, and was buried beside his mother at Stoke Poges.

A descendant of Richard Sterne, Archbishop of York. Born at Clonmel, in Ireland ; was educated at Halifax and Jesus College, Cambridge. Taking holy orders he obtained the living of Sutton with a prebendary stall in York Cathedral, and later on the rectory of Stillington and the curacy of Coxwold. Died in London, March i8, 1768. His literary works, the principal of which are Tristratn Shatidy and the Sentiine)ital Journey, abound in pathetic and humorous scenes. When Tristram Shandy appeared, Walpole says, " Nothing was more talked of, and nothing more admired. The man's head, a little turned before, is now topsy-turvy with his success." Three-quarter length, life-size, seated to left, blue gown and wig ; resting head on right hand ; writing table with papers. Canvas 50 X 40 in. Sterne sat for this portrait in March, 1760. He had then produced the first and second volumes only of Tristram Shandy. The portrait was painted lor Lord Ossory, then passed to Lord Holland, and then to the Marquess of Lansdowne, by whom it was purchased on the death of Lord Holland in 1840 for 500 guineas. Sterne, in writing to a friend who wished for his portrait, said, " You must mention the business to Reynolds yourself; for I will tell you why I cannot. He has already painted a very excellent portrait of me, which, when I went to pay him for, he desired me to accept as a tribute (to use his own elegant and flattering expression) that his heart wished to pay to my genius. That man's way of thinking and manners are at least equal to his pencil." In character Sterne was a "fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy," and in this portrait, with all its expression of intellect and humour, the painter has given the true character of his sitter. Nor is the position of the figure less characteristic than the expression of the face. It is easy, but it has not the easiness of health. Sterne props himself up. His wig too was subject to odd chances from the humour that was uppermost with its wearer. When by mistake he had thrown a fair sheet of manuscript into the fire instead of the foul one, he tells us that he snatched off his wig " and threw it perpendicularly with all imaginable violence to the top of the room." While he was sitting to Reynolds, this same wig had contrived to get itself a little on one side ; and the painter, with his readiness in 72 Exhibition of the Royal House of Guelph. taking advantage of accident to which we owe so many of the delightful novelties in his works, painted it so, for he must have known that a mitre would not sit long, bishop-fashion, on the head before him.

Under the patronage of Lord Somers he travelled in Italy, commemorated the victory of Blenheim in a poem called " The Campaign " ; in 1709 was appointed secretary to the Marquess of Wharton in Ireland, and in the same year being elected member for Malmesbury, held the seat to the end of his life. At this period, in connexion with Steele and Swift, he began his famous writings in The Tatler, Spectator, and Guardian. His tragedy of Cato appeared in 1713. On the accession of George I. he was appointed one of the principal Secretaries of State. Died at Holland House, June 17, 1719, and was buried in Westminster Abbey.

Born at Barnstaple, Devonshire ; began life as a silk mercer, but soon devoted himself to literature, and obtained the friendship of Pope and Swift, to the former of whom he dedicated his Rural Sports in 17 ii. He was secretary to the Duchess of Monmouth, and attended the Earl of Clarendon to Hanover in 1714. At the suggestion of Swift he composed the Beggar's Opera, and his well-known Fables were in 1726 written for the instruction of William, Duke of Cumberland. Gay died in Burlington Gardens at the residence of his patrons, the Duke and Duchess of Oueensberry, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. Pope wrote the inscription on his monument. Three-quarter length, life-size, seated to right, head nearly facing, loose white cloak with blue lining, and red cap bound with blue ; right arm rests on table, left hand on knee ; dog in the foreground.

Son of a linendraper at Bristol ; was educated at Westminster and Balliol College, Oxford, where his talents attracted notice. Having abandoned his intention of taking orders, he travelled for some time in Spain and Portugal, and made his first appearance in the literary world as author of the epic poems Joan of Arc and Wat Tyler. SOUTH GALLERY.] Portraits. 73 In 1803 he settled at Keswick, with his friends Coleridge and Wordsworth as neighbours, and there commenced a long career of literary labour. He published The Curse of Kehama in 1810, and Roderick in 1814, having in the previous year been appointed Poet Laureate. He achieved great popularity through his biographies of Nelson, Wesley, Cowper, and Chatterton ; and having suffered long from ths effects of overwork he died, March 21, 1843. His Common-place Book was published after his death. Half-length, life-size, seated to right ; open black furred coat, holding book in his hands ; badge as Poet Laureate. Canvas 36 x 28 in. By T. Phillips, R.A. Lent by John Murray, Esq. 211. Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774). This eminent poet, essayist, historian, and dramatist, born at Pallas in the county of Longford, Ireland, November 29, 1728, was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, led for some years a wandering life upon the Continent, and returned to England in 1756. He commenced his literary career in circumstances of great poverty, wrote at first obscurely for periodicals of the day, but his admirable poem The Traveller, published in 1765, introduced him to the notice of the most distinguished literary characters of the time. Two works of the highest merit followed, the Vicar of Wakefield in 1766, and the Deserted Village in 1770. His fame was further enhanced by his two comedies, Tlie Good-Natured Man and She Stoops to Conquer. He died of a fever at his lodgings in the Temple in 1774. Half-length, life-size, to left ; black coat, brown mantle with fur ; in right hand book. Canvas 30 x 25 in. Goldsmith appears to have first made the acquaintance of Reynolds in 1762, and from that time till his death there existed the warmest affection between these two great men. This portrait was painted by Reynolds in 1766, but was not exhibited at the Academy till 1770, when it appeared side by side with that of Johnson (No. 205). Of this picture Leslie, Life, &^c., of Sir Joshua Reynolds, says, " I have seen nothing on canvas more touching. It recalls all that is known of the sufferings of this tenderest and warmest of hearts. In that thoughtful, patient face, the traces of a life of endurance, and the consciousness of being misunderstood and undervalued are as unmist.ikeable as the benevolence that is meditating how to amuse and make better a world by which it was considered a vulgar face, and which had treated the owner of it so scurvily. Sir Joshua meant to paint the author of the Vicar of Wakefield and of the Deserted Village, and not the Goldy who was laughed at by Boswell and Hawkins and quizzed by Burke." The portrait must have been an object of special attraction, as on May 26, just before the exhibition closed, appeared The Deserted Village with a dedication to Sir Joshua. By Sir J. Reynolds, P.R.A. Lent by The Lord Sackville. 212. Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822). Eminent poet.

Son of Captain John Byron and Catherine Gordon of Gight, born in Holies Street, London, January 22, 1788. Succeeded his great-uncle William, Lord Byron, in 1798, and was educated at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge. In 181 5 he married the daughter of Sir Ralph Noel Milbank, but this union proved singularly infelicitous. A separation took place, and Byron retired to the Continent never to revisit his native country. He resided chiefly in Italy, but in 1823 was attracted to Greece to aid in the struggle for independence with his influence and his money. In the following year whilst at Missolonghi, he caught a severe cold, from the effects of which he died on April 19. His remains were brought to England, and were buried in the church of Hucknall Torkard, near Newstead. Lord Byron's writings are so well known and so recent, as not to require notice here.

In the Letters of Anna Seward, published in 181 1, are several mentions of this picture, which was painted by Romney at the suggestion of William Hayley, of Felpham, as a present to her father, to whom she was deeply attached. She thus writes from Lichfield, June i, 1788: "We wish to express our gratitude for your having persuaded Romney to gratify my father, by his possessing, ere he dies, the promised treasure. It arrived last night ; rich, adorned, and invaluable, by the Romneyan powers, the most masterly portrait. ... I placed it by my father's bed- side at seven this morning. He wept with joy when I undrew the curtain, wanted to kiss it, and has talked of and looked at it all day." This letter was addressed to Mr. Hayley, and in it mention is made of young Cary (afterwards the translator of Dante), whose son some twenty years ago saw the picture, and at once recognized the portrait as that of his godmother, Anna Seward, and well remembered it in his childhood at Mr. Hayley's at Felpham.

Samuel Foote (1720-1777). Actor and dramatist. Born at Truro, was educated there and at Worcester College, Oxford, studied law at the Temple, but took to the stage, combining acting with dramatic writing. In 1747 he commenced at the Haymarket portraits of characters in which he alone appeared on the stage. At various times he wrote upwards of twenty plays.

In 1741 he returned to Dublin for a short time, but again appeared in London, performing in 1746 with Garrick at Covent Garden in the Fair Penitent. Soon afterwards he retired to Bath, only once more appearing in 1749, ^^ Coriolanus in Thomson's posthumous tragedy. Quin was a noted bon vivant and wit ; and was employed to instruct George III. in elocution. When he heard how well the King delivered his first speech, he exclaimed, " I taught the boy."

Born in humble life ; the daughter of Henry Lyon of Nesse, in the parish of Great Neston, Cheshire ; christened Amy, but after various changes finally adopted the name of Emma ; was for a time a servant-girl at Hawarden, came to London in 1777, and was exhibited by Dr. Graham, a noted quack, as the Goddess Hygieia ; but her beauty and the exquisite grace of her figure caused her to become a favourite sitter to artists, Romney being specially devoted to her. In 1791 she was married to Sir William Hamilton, and on her arrival at Naples obtained great influence with the court there, and was the object of Lord Nelson's passionate attachment. She died in comparative neglect near Calais. Romney alone is said to have painted twenty-three portraits of her ; and she also sat to Reynolds, Hoppner, and Lawrence in England, and to numerous artists in Italy.

In 1749 he made the acquaintance of Captain Keppel, in whose ship he went to the Mediterranean and visited Italy, where he stayed, studying the old masters till 1753, and on his return became the leading portrait painter of his day. He was the first President of the Royal Academy, foimded in 1768, and in that capacity delivered his well-known discourses. He continued to exercise his profession in full vigour till 1790, when his eyesight suddenly failed. Died at his house in Leicester Fields, and was buried in St. Paul's. He was the intimate friend of Burke, Goldsmith and Johnson, and other eminent men, and in conjunction with the last established " The Club " which still exists. Head to left. Canvas 14 x 12 in.

Born at Liibeck ; studied painting under various masters ; visited Italy in 1672, and coming to London in 1675 was appointed portrait-painter to Charles II., and subsequently held the same office under James IF, William III., Anne, and George I. He was made a baronet in 17 15, and died October 27, 1723, having amassed a large fortune. Kneller painted the Beauties at Hampton Court for \Yilliam III., also the portraits of the forty-eight members of the Kit-Cat Club, often Sovereigns, including Louis XIV., Peter the Great, and Charles II. of Spain, and almost every notable person \\\ England in his time.

By Sir G. Kneller. Lent by W. R. Baker, Esq. 245. Mrs. Siddons as "The Tragic Muse" (1774-1831). Celebrated actress. Daughter of Roger Kemble, the manager of an itinerant company ; was born at Brecon in South Wales ; commenced her theatrical career as a vocalist ; and in her eighteenth year married Mr. Siddons, a young actor. In 1775 she appeared in London as Portia in The Merchant of Venice, when Garrick was the Shylock, but she did not display much genius. Time, with study and practice, matured her powers, and when she re-appeared at Drury Lane in 1782, as Isabella in \h& Fatal Marriage, her success was complete, and from that time forward her theatrical career was one continued triumph. Her principal characters were Lady Macbeth, Constance in King John, Queen Catherine and Lady Randolph in Home's tragedy of Douglas. She retired from the stage in 181 2, and died in London in 1831. Besides Reynolds, there are portraits of Mrs. Siddons by Gainsborough, Sir Thomas Lawrence, and Sir WiUiam Beechy. Full length, life-size, seated on a throne that appears to be raised above the clouds, in an attitude of inspired ecstasy ; brown dress with white sleeves ; massive fine necklace. Behind her in the shadowy background stand two mutes, the one holding the bowl, the other the dagger, the insignia of tragedy. Canvas 94 X 58 in. Though Reynolds' pocket-book for 1783 is lost, the sittings which Mrs. Siddons gave for this picture began during the autumn of 1783, and continued into the spring of 1784, in which year it was exhibited at the Royal Academy. In the quality of colour, the stateliness of the action and the loftiness of the expression, the picture ranks amongst the finest of this master. It has been supposed that the conception of this work was suggested by Michael Angelo's Isaiah. Mrs. Siddons, however, told Mr. Phillips" that it was the production of pure accident. Sir Joshua had begun the head and figure in a different view ; but while he was occupied in the prepa- ration of some colour she changed her position to look at a picture hanging on the wall of the room. When he again looked at her, and saw the action she had assumed, he requested her not to move ; and thus arose the beautiful and expressive figure we now see in the picture." According to Mrs. Jameson, Mrs. Siddons used to describe Sir Joshua as taking her by the hand, and leading her up to his platform with the words " Ascend your undisputed throne, bestow on me some idea of the Tragic Muse." " On which," she said, " I walked up the steps and seated myself in the attitude in which the Tragic Muse now appears." Another charming anecdote is related of this picture. Sir Joshua had painted his name in the gold border of the drapery. Mrs. Siddons on examining the picture near, perceived it, and made the remark to Sir 86 Exhibition of the Royal House of Guelph. Joshua. He replied, with a sort of poetical courtesy, " I could not lose the honour this opportunity afforded me of going down to posterity on the hem of your garment." By Sir J. Reynolds, P.R.A. Lent by The Duke of Westminster, K.G. 246. Mrs. Elizabeth Hartley as "Elfrida" (1751-1824). Actress; first appeared at Bath about 177 1, and became very popular as a tragic actress. Her extreme beauty and the truth and nature of her acting attracted universal admiration, and secured her the first place in her profession till the appearance of Mrs. Siddons. She left the stage in 1780, and died at Woolwich February 2, 1824. The play of Elfrida was specially written for her by Mason, and was one of her most successful characters. She was a favourite subject of Sir Joshua Reynolds, and appears in a number of his pictures as Jane Shore, Bacchante, &c. Bust, life-size, to right, red dress, brown scarf over head and shoulders. Canvas 21 X 18 in. By Sir J. Reynolds, P.R.A. Lent by The Duke of Westminster, K.G. 247. David Garrick (1716-1779). " The greatest of English actors." Born at Hereford, February 28, 17 16, was educated at Lichfield under Dr. Johnson, with whom, in 1736, he set out for London, where both arrived with only a few pence in their pockets. Garrick adopted the stage as a profession, and in 1741 made his debut at Ipswich, in the tragedy of Oroonoko. In the same year he appeared for the first time on the London stage at the Goodman's Fields Theatre, as Richard III. Pope thus wrote of him to Lord Orrery, " That young man never had his equal as an actor, and never will have a rival." In 1742 the crowds that gathered to see him in Dublin were so great as to produce an epidemic, called in jest " the Garrick fever." In 1747 he became joint-patentee of Drury Lane, and sole patentee in 1773. The powers of Garrick were universal. He excelled equally in the sublimest tragedy, the most refined comedy, or the broadest farce ; and the parts in which he attained the greatest celebrity, Macbeth and Abel Drugger, were the very opposite in character. He died January 20, 1779, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. Half-length, life-size, to left, brown coat and cloak. Canvas 30 x 20 in. Painted in 1768. Kitely, the principal character in Jonson's Every Man in his Humour, was acted by Garrick in 1751 and 1766. There is a repetition of this picture in the possession of Mr. Louis Huth from the collection of the late General C. R. Fox, to whom it was bequeathed by Henry Lord Holland. The great power of portraiture is well illustrated in this and other likenesses of Garrick by Reynolds. Whilst Garrick was sitting for this picture Northcote overheard him teUing the painter, with great glee, how he had bothered an indifferent painter to whom he was sitting by perpetual changes of expression and contortions of feature, till the artist dashed down the pencils in despair.

Daughter of Captain Darby of Bristol, married when only fifteen, an attorney named Robinson, who caused her to go on the stage to relieve his necessities. She obtained success as Juliet and Imogen, and as Perdita, in the Wintet^s Tale, attracted the notice of the Prince of Wales, who sent Mrs. Robinson his portrait set in diamonds ; one side was inscribed Je ne change gti'en mourant, and on the other " Unalterable to Perdita through life." An intimacy ensued which lasted two years. Being deprived of the use of her limbs by a rheumatic fever, she retired to Englefield Green, and died there in December, 1800. Her writings consist of novels, poems, and /J/^/«(9/W of her own Life ^ which were published by her daughter. Half-length, life-size, towards left, black dress, white stomacher, large black hat with feathers, black band round neck, hair powdered ; red curtain and landscape back- ground. Canvas 29 X 24 in. This picture was painted in 1782, one year after Mrs. Robinson had left the stage, and had even lost the affections of the Prince since some months. She was, however, still in the flower of her youth and loveliness. Sir Joshua painted at least two portraits of her, and probably used her as a model in some of his fancy pictures, for she sat to him very assiduously throughout this year. By J. HOPPNER, R.A.

Received a classical education under Bishop Burnet; married in 1712 Edward Wortley Montagu and, four years later, upon her husband being appointed ambassador to the Porte, accompanied him to the East, and during his residence in the Levant wrote the well-known Letters which form one of the most delightful books in our language. In 17 18 she returned to England, and settled at Twickenham, where she renewed her acquaintance with Addison and Pope, but the friendship of the latter, owing to political as well as personal differences, was after- wards converted into hatred. In 1739 Lady Mary went to Italy for her health, and did not revisit England till 1761. She died the following year, August 21, 1762. During her Exhibition of the Royal House of Guelph. residence at Constantinople, she was enabled to confer on Europe a benefit of the greatest consequence ; namely, inoculation for the small-pox, which was at that time universal in Turkey.

It appears that Garrick was dissatisfied with this picture, and that some dispute arose between him and the painter, who struck his pencil across the face, and damaged it. The picture was unpaid for at the time of Hogarth's death. His widow then sent it home to Garrick without any demand. In 1823 it was sold at the sale of Mrs. Garrick's effects to the late Edward Hawke Locker, one of the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital, for ^75 \\s. od.; this gentleman, however, relinquished it to George IV., who added it to the collection at Windsor.

After completing his education Walpole travelled on the Continent for two years in company with the poet Gray ; but the friends quarrelled, and Walpole returned to England in 1741. He im- mediately took his seat for Callington, which he exchanged for Castle Rising in 1744, and for King's Lynn in 1754. In 1768 he retired from public business, and giving up his time exclusively to literature and the fine arts, settled at Twickenham in a cottage, which soon grew into the mansion so well known as " Strawberry Hill," and which became a de- pository of objects of every kind of artistic, historic, or literary value. He succeeded in 1791 to the earldom on the death of his nephew George, but never took his seat in the House of Lords.

In 1695 he brought out a play called Love's Last Shift, the principal character in which he performed himself, and from that time his reputation in comedy was unrivalled. The Careless Husband followed next, and then came The No7ijuror, which procured him a pension and the post of poet laureate. Cibber incurred the ill-will of Pope, who made him the hero of The Dunciad, for which Cibber attacked him in a very spirited remonstrance. He quitted the stage in 1730, and died in 1757. His plays have been published in five volumes. His Apology for his oiun Lije is one of the most amusing biographies in the English language.

She performed with like success both in tragedy and comedy. She took leave of the stage in the spring of 90 Exhibition of the Royal House of Guelph. 1768, and died in August of the same year. Davies praises "her genteel person, attrac- tive countenance, her expressive yet simple manner"; and Lord Harcourt, in comparing her with Mrs. Siddons, on the latter's first appearance, writes : " To say that Mrs. Siddons in one word is supreme to Mrs. Pritchard in Lady Macbeth would be talking nonsense, because 1 don't think it is possible."

It was engraved in stipple by Bar- tolozzi for the Doctor's History of Music. When Sir Joshua began his work he delighted in it, and prophesied (as he often did as he was sitting down to a new canvas) that it would be his best work. This frequent conviction shows with how much spirit Sir Joshua set about each successive picture.

He soon rose to the highest reputation as a portrait painter, was the friend and rival of Reynolds, and an original member of the Royal Academy. Died August 2, 1788. " Whether in landscape, pastoral, or in portraiture, Gainsborough drew his inspiration entirely for his subject and tinged it with his own sentiment. So he became the father of modern landscape, and in his portraits he was scarcely less original, painting his ladies or gentlemen in a manner entirely pure and unaffected, yet with such spirit, grace, and dignity as nature had endowed them with."

His early compositions wei^e for Italian operas, and he was assisted by George I. in establishing the Italian Opera in the Haymarket. This undertaking having failed, Handel turned his attention to sacred music, and com- posed his sublime oratorios, Israel hi Egypt in 173S, the Messiah in 1741, and Judas Maccabceus in 1746.

This master of lyrical poetry was born at Dublin, entered at Trinity College, and afterwards at the Middle Temple, London ; but all his tastes and talents were directed to poetry and other branches of literature. His Anacreon appeared in 1801 ; but it is perhaps on his Irish melodies and Lalla Rookh that his fame mainly rests. In 1827 he published the Life of Sheridan^ and in 1830 the Life of Byron, of whom he had been an intimate friend. At the time of his death he was engaged on a history of Ireland.

Was apprenticed to a bookseller named Thomas Bassch, and in 1677 commenced business on his own account. At first he made but little progress in his trade, but in 1688 he purchased the copyright of Milton's Paradise Lost, which quickly proved a financial success. It was at Tonson's suggestion that Dryden undertook to translate Virgil's Aeneid and Georgics, for each work of which the author received ^50. On the formation of the Kit- Cat club Tonson became its secretary, and held that office during its entire existence. His appointment to the office of stationer, bookseller, and printer to Queen Anne and to George I., was a source of great profit to him. In 1720 he retired from business and resided at Barn Elms, Surrey, where he died about eighty years of age. Half-length, life-size, seated to right, head turned to left ; in green loose coat and red cap ; he holds in right hand a book inscribed " Milton's Paradise Lost." Canvas 36 x 27 in. The Kit-Cat Club was instituted about 1700, and its members included the principal noblemen and gentlemen who were opposed to the arbitrary measures of James II., and had contrived to bring about the Revolution. Their ostensible object was the encouragement of literature and the fine arts, but the end that they laboured most assiduously to accomplish was the promotion of loyalty to the House of Hanover. The Club deriv^ed its name from having met for some time in the house of Christopher Cat, a pastrycook. Malone says that the pies which he made were called " Kit-Cats." 96 Exhibition of the Royal House of Guelph. The Club was dissolved about 1720, Jacob Tonson having acted as its secretary during the whole period of its exi'Stence. Previous to its dissolution each member presented to Tonson his portrait (half-length figure), painted a uniform size by Sir Godfrey Kneller, who added his own, smaller than the rest in size. The portraits, forty- eight in number, were hung in a room at Tonson's house at Barn Elms. At his death they passed to his nephew Jacob, and from him to his brother Richard, who removed them to his residence at Water Oakley, near Windsor. At Richard's death the pictures were inherited by the eldest daughter of the second Jacob, who had married Alderman Baker, father of Sir William Baker, M.P. for Hertfordshire, and ancestor of the present owner.

One of the earliest of the series is now in the National Portrait Gallery, painted when he was about seventeen years of age, and in the act of shading his eyes with his left hand, while holding a palette by the handle in his right. This picture was produced before Reynolds went to Italy, and in its style it approaches his earlier portraits. After Ri.VNOLDS. Lent by The Hon. F. B.

Its popularity was very great, and the print, which was engraved from it in mezzotint by George Clint, had an extensive sale both in England and on the Continent. Knowles, in his life of Fuseli, says: "In the year 1817 Fuseli sat at my request to Harlow for his portrait. I attended Fuseli at each sitting, and during the progress of the portrait, Harlow commenced and finished his last and most esteemed work. The Trial of Queen Catherine, in which he introduced many portraits, especially those of the Kemble family. At the suggestion of Fuseli, Harlow made many alterations in the picture, re-arranging the position of several of the figures, and changing the foreground. When these improvements were made, Fuseli then said : ' So far you have done well ; but now you have not introduced a back figure to throw the eye of the spectator into the picture:' and then pointed out by what means he might iinpiove it in this particular. Accordingly Harlow introduced the two boys who are taking up the cushion ; that which shows the back is altogether done by Fuseli." According to Knowles Fuseli afterwards attempted to get Harlow to improve the drawing of the arms of Queen Catherine, but without much effect. By G. H. Harlow. Lent by Mrs. Morrison. ^91.

He suffered from epilepsy, on account of which he subjected himself to a strict diet of asses' milk and flour-biscuits, and is said to have used paint for his complexion. In consequence he was ridiculed by Pope as "Lord Fanny " ; and in the Satires, under " Sporus," he is described as " that mere white curd of asses' milk," and " that painted child of dirt that stinks and sings."

The reputed daughter of a Viennese citizen named Veigel ; came to London in 1746, was engaged as a dancer at the Haymarket, and became the guest of the Earl and Countess of Burlington. On her marriage with Garrick, June 22, 1749, the Earl of Burlington is said to have settled on her ^6,oco. This marriage emlaroiled Garrick with many of the leading actresses, more than one of whom had regarded him as in some shape pledged to her. Died in 1822. Small full length, facing, dancing, arms extended ; white gold embroidered dress. Canvas 13^ X i\\ in. Edward Moore wrote a poem on the marriage, entitled. Envy and Fortune j A Tale : in which are the following lines on this lady : — " ril show you a sight that you'll fancy uncommon : Wit, Beauty, and Goodness all met in a woman ; A heart to no folly or mischief inclined, A Body all Grace and all sweetness a Mind."

"The Midnight Modern Conversation," or "The Punch Bowl." Interior of a room ; various persons seated at a round table, on which is a large bowl of punch ; many intoxicated, one in the foreground having fallen on the floor. Canvas 29 x 35 in. This picture was painted by Hogarth in 1734. In point of chronology its proper place lies between the two Progresses — The Harlot's Progress and The Rakers Progress. Ireland said that most of the figures in the picture were portraits. This is not unlikely, but only two have been identified with any certainty. Sir John Hawkins identified the rosy-gilled parson who presides over the capacious bowl of punch as Orator Henley, but Mrs. Piozzi as the Rev. Cornehus Ford, a cousin of Dr. Johnson, who described him as a " man of great parts, very profligate, but I never heard he was impious." The figure on his left, seated at the table, is Counsellor Kettleby, a vociferous bar-orator, remarkable, though an utter barrister, for wearing a full-bottomed wig, which he is here drawn with, as also for a horrible squint. There are several repetitions of this picture ; one is at the Earl of Egremont's at Pet- worth. It was engraved by Hogarth in 1734 ; by Riepenhausen in 1786, under the title of " Societe Nocturne, nommde communement Coterie de Debauche en Ponche " ; and by the French engraver Creite, who added beneath his print the following lines : — " Si pour eclater sa joye, un Francois chante, Si les Italiens se plaisent aux concerts, Si I'Allemand ch^rit la Table et les Desserts, L'Anglois s'entient au Ponche, et la Pipe I'enchante." Walpole says that this was the first work that showed Hogarth's command ot character. It is the plate of all others that has been most generally popular on the Continent, particularly in Germany, where copies of it have been multiplied ad infinitum. By W. Hogarth. Lent by Mrs. Morrison. 311. Thomas Coutts (i 735-1822). Banker. Fourth son of Lord Provost John Coutts, of Edinburgh ; founded with his brother James the banking house of Coutts & Co., of which, in 1778, he became sole partner.

The biographer of Johnson. Born at Edinburgh, the son of Alexander, Lord Auchin- leck, studied law at Edinburgh and Glasgow, came to London, and on May i6, 1763, was introduced to Dr. Johnson, with whom he soon formed a close friendship. In 1773, thej' together visited the Hebrides, an account of which was afterwards published by Boswell in 1785. Having settled in London in 1782, Boswell was called to the English Bar, but did not succeed in getting any practice. His Life of Johnson appeared in 1790, five years after his friend's death, and met with an immense success. He was also the author of various political and professional pamphlets ; and wrote the life of Paoli, whose acquaint- ance he had made in Italy in 1763. Died in Great Portland Street, May 19, 1795. Half-length, life-size, to left, black coat and wig ; red curtain and landscape in back- ground. Canvas 30 x 24 in. This picture is a repetition of that in the National Gallery which came from the collection of Sir Robert Peel. In 1785 Boswell was very anxious to have his portrait painted by Reynolds, but being very short of money wrote the following very charac- teristic letter to the painter : " The debts which I contracted in my father's lifetime will not be cleared off by me for some years, I therefore think it unconscientious to indulge myself in any expensive article of elegant luxury. But in the meantime you may die, or I may die, and I should regret very much that there should not be at Auchinleck my portrait painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds, with whom I have the felicity of living in social intimacy. I have a proposal to make to you. I am for certain to be called to the English bar next February. Will you now do my picture ? and the price shall be paid out of the first fees which I receive as a barrister at Westminster Hall. Or, if that fund should fail, it shall be paid at any rate five years hence by myself or my representatives. (Signed) James Boswell." This letter was en- dorsed by Sir Joshua, " I agree to the above conditions." The picture was painted, but there is no proof that it was ever paid for, as Boswell's attempts at the bar were a failure. After Sir J. Reynolds, P.R.A. Lent by Philip Norman, Esq. 314.

" In this very humorous and entertaining piece the character of Major Sturgeon, a City militia officer, is highly wrought up, and was most inimitably performed by Foote." By J. ZoFFANY, R.A. Lent by The Earl of Carlisle. 316. David Garrick as "Abel Drugger," Burton as "Subtle," AND John Palmer as " Face," in the " Alchemist," Act II. Sc. 6. Interior of a room : the figure to right holding a pipe is Garrick as "Abel Drugger" ; in the centre is Palmer as " Face " ; and on the left Burton as " Subtle." Near an open window on the left is a table, on which are placed a globe, bottles, &c. On a shelf in the background other properties of an alchemist. Canvas 41 X 39 in. The Alchefmsi, by Ben Jonson, was played by Garrick, March 21, 1743, and repeated on several occasions till April, 1776. Garrick as "Abel Drugger," the Tobacco Boy, was a wonderful delineation of character. "The moment became upon the stage,'' says Davis, "he discovered such awkward simplicity and his looks so happily bespoke the ignorant, selfish, and abashed tobacco merchant, that it was a contest not easily to be decided whether the bursts of laughter or applause were the loudest." This picture was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1770. Sir Joshua Reynolds had bought it in the room and agreed to give 100 guineas for it. Lord Carlisle half-an-hour afterwards offered Reynolds twenty to part with it, which he generously refused, resigning his intended purchase to the lord and the emolument to his brother artist. By J. ZOFFANY, R.A. Lent by The Earl of Carlisle. 317. Foote and Watson in the Characters of "The President" AND " Dr. Last " in the " Devil upon Two Sticks."

Canvas 40 x 50 in. This comedy, by Foote, was acted at the Haymarket Theatre in 1768. It was one of his most successful performances. The active part taken by Sir William Browne, President of the College of Physicians, in the contest with the Licentiates, occasioned his being introduced by Foote in this comedy. Upon Foote's exact representation of him, with his identical wig and coat, tall figure, and glass stiffly applied to his eye, Sir William sent him a card complimenting the actor in having so happily represented him ; but as he had forgotten his muff, he had sent him his own. Watson as " Dr. Last, by trade a doctor, and by profession a maker of shoes," acted his part with I lo Exhibition of the Royal House of Guelph. such simplicity, that Northcote said, "it was impossible from looking at him, for any- one to say he was acting. You would suppose they had gone out and found the actual character they wanted and brought him upon the stage." By J. ZOFFANY, R.A. Lent by The EARL OF CARLISLE. 318. Right Hon. Edmund Burke, M.P.

Born at St. Agnes, Cornwall ; the son of a house carpenter who wished to bring him up in his own business, but coming under the notice of Dr. Wolcot, " Peter Pindar," his taste for painting was encouraged, and he received many commissions as a portrait painter. In 1780 he visited London, where he acquired celebrity by his pictures in the Royal Academy, and by those which he painted for the Boydell and Macklin galleries. He was elected an A. R.A. in 1786, and R.A. in the following year. In 1804 he delivered four lectures which have been published. Died in 1807, and was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral. Bust, to left, life-size.

Born at Lyme Regis, Dorset, was a captain in the merchant service ; planned many philanthropic schemes, particularly in connection with the Colonies of North America. Horace Walpole said of him that he knew more about the American Colonies than any other man living. In 1739 ^^ established the Foundling Hospital, and by this and other benevolent actions he so impoverished himself that at the close of his life a sub- scription was entered into for his support and an annuity provided for him. He died March 29, 1751, and was buried in the Foundling Chapel. Half-length, life-size, to right, seated at a table and folding a letter with both hands ; grey coat, gold-embroidered vest, and wig ; ink-bottle, sealing-wax, and taper on table. Canvas 35 x 27^ in. This is a fine portrait of a remarkable man. In the Foundling Hospital hangs the other portrait of Coram by Hogarth — a full-length. Of this one Hogarth wrote, " The portrait which I painted with most pleasure, and in which I particularly wished to excel, was that of Captain Coram for the Foundling Hospital ; and if I am so wretched an artist as my enemies assert, it is somewhat strange that this, which was one of the first I painted the size of life, should stand the test of twenty years' competition, and be generally thought the best portrait in the place, notwithstanding the first painters in the kingdom exerted all their talents to vie with it."

The three principal characters connected with the North Briton riots. Wilkes, as publisher of the paper, was the chief actor. Glynn, whose practice at the Bar and knowledge of law was scarcely equalled by any one of his time, took the lead in the cases connected with Wilkes. He acted for him in his application for a writ of habeas corpus in May 1763, and also in the trial which took place in 1764 on the re-publication of the North Briton. Home Tooke, though in orders, was an ardent friend of Wilkes, and not only supported his pretensions and pledged his credit for his expenses, but declared " that in a cause so holy and so just he would dye his black coat red." Small figures ; seated at a table on which are papers ; in the centre is Wilkes in his alderman's gown ; on his right is Glynn, and on his left Home Tooke, both in black gowns and wigs.

He then took part in the disastrous campaign in Holland ; received the Order of the Bath in 1795 : was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the forces in the West Indies, and to the chief command in Ireland in 1798.

Being made High Sheriff of Bedfordshire in 1773, he began to examine into the state of the prisons, travelled through France and Germany with the same benevolent object, and in 1777 published his great work on prisons, which he dedicated to the House of Commons. The result was the passing of two Acts for the better regulation of prison discipline. He next turned his attention to the lazarettos in Europe, an account of which he published in 1789. Having visited the East in 1790, with a view of ascertaining the nature of the plague then raging, he died of fever at Cherson. A monument was erected to his memory in St. Paul's Cathedral.

In 1672 he was elected a F.R.S., represented Cambridge University in Parliament from 1689-90, and in 1699 was appointed Master of the Mint, in which capacity he effected many improvements in the coinage. He was chosen Presi- dent of the Royal Society in 1703, and in 1705 received the honour of knighthood.

There is a replica of this picture in the possession of Archdeacon Buniey, from the Thrale collection, painted in 1776, and exhibited in that year at the Royal Academy. This picture was purchased by the Duke of Dorset in 1778. Garrick was now in his sixtieth year, worn by gout and fretted by the cabals and jealousies which distracted the little world at Drury Lane. But in his picture he looks still full of life and vigour. " It is an admirable example of that ' momentary ' quality which Northcote was accus- tomed to praise as distinctive of Sir Joshua's pictures." By Sir J. Reynolds, P.R.A.

HISTORICAL COLLECTION OF WATCHES, FROM THE 16th TO THE ic)ih CENTURY. This series of Watches is exhibited to show the gradual development of the art of Watchmaking, specially as regards the 17th and i8th centuries. A few specimens of an earlier period have been introduced in order to illustrate the succession of the various forms. In the i6th century Watches were made in all imaginable shapes and sizes. In the form of Eggs, called Nuremberg Eggs — that city being the chief place of manufacture — of Crosses and Crucifixes, called Abbess's Watches, of a Death's Head, of Flowers, Shells, &c. During the early part of the 17th century nearly all these quaint and bizarre forms passed out of fashion, at which time watchmakers seem to have devoted their atten- tion chiefly to the compact character of their work. The art of the goldsmith and the enameller however was still exercised in the manufacture of watches, and many designs in repousse are of excellent workmanship and the enamelling and jewellery are of the highest order. Many watches of the last century were of base metal, these are known by the appellation of " Pinchbecks," the name being taken from the manufacturer, John Pinchbeck, a " toyman " who lived in the Strand. (For description of a selection of the Watches, see pp. 266-268, Nos. 1963-1986.) CASE N— North Room. PLATE. 1222.
