'A statue, by Mr. Noble, of the late Earl of Eglinton, who died in October, 1861, was unveiled to the public view...in Wellington-square, in the town of Ayr, with Masonic and other ceremonies of an imposing kind, and with speeches delivered by Lord Colville, chairman of the Eglinton Memorial Committee; the Marquis of Ailsa, Lord Lieutenant of Ayrshire, the Provost of the town of Ayr, and other persons of local distinction - a very numerous assemblage, including all the rank and fashion of the county, having been brought together on the platform.

LADY GERTRUDE FITZPATRICK, PAINTED BY SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS...AT THE BRITISH INSTITUTION, 1865. CREATOR: W THOMAS.

Lady Gertrude Fitzpatrick, painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds, in the exhibition of the works of Old Masters at the British Institution, 1865. Engraving of a painting. 'Of the many charming pictures of children Sir Joshua has left us, this portrait of the little Lady Gertrude Fitzpatrick, exhibited by the Right Hon. J. W. Fitzpatrick (a relative, we presume, though we do not know in what degree), is one of the most delightful. The attitude, with the hands primly crossed, and an arch shyness of expression, as if conscious of being painted, is repeated in three or four of the master's portraits of children...Agreeably to the classicalism of the time, which gave to other of Sir Joshua's works the titles of "Muscipula," "Felina," and other fanciful designations, the present portrait was also called "Collina," from the little hill on which the child is standing. We must suppose that she is thus placed, and that we are looking slightly upwards at her, in order to account for a figure so diminutive in stature having nothing but a sky background, and for the horizontal line being so low as the ankles'.

THE LATE DR. JOHN BIRD SUMNER, ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

The late Dr. John Bird Sumner, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1862. Engraving from a photograph by John and Charles Watkins. 'Shortly after his ordination, he was appointed to an assistant-mastership at Eton...The duties of a master at Eton did not exclusively occupy his attention; he was a writer also...In 1816 he won the second prize...for a treatise on "The Evidences." He published this essay in 1817, under the title of "A Treatise on the Records of the Creation and on Moral Attributes of the Creator." The "Evidences of Christianity, Derived from its Nature and Reception," and "Sermons on the Christian Faith and Character," also productions of his pen, went to increase his reputation as an author. He was made, in 1820, a Canon of Durham; he was consecrated Bishop of Chester in 1828, and translated to the archiepiscopal see of Canterbury in 1848...His Grace, during his long public career, rarely spoke in the House of Lords on subjects not relating to the Church. Soon after his elevation to the see of Chester he voted for Catholic emancipation. Latterly he strongly opposed the admission of Jews into Parliament; and in the Divorce Bill strenuously objected to the proposed clause allowing the marriage of the offending parties'.

THE NORTHAMPTONSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'S SHOW IN BURGHLEY PARK, NEAR STAMFORD, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

The Northamptonshire Agricultural Society's show in Burghley Park, near Stamford, [Lincolnshire], 1862. 'From the Lord Lieutenant to the gentle shepherd, the cunning worker in iron and the humble cultivator of kidney potatoes, has each alike his place and distinction. Ladies, indeed, have not solely their fruits, and flowers, and plants to attract them, but, the old boorish, selfish system being now utterly uprooted, are specially invited by a line on the titlepage of the catalogue to grace the dinner with their presence. This county meeting [on the Marquess of Exeter's estate], is by no means the first of the kind, and may help to set the type for many others. There is no doubt that not half enough has been made of such gatherings, and that, more for lack of thought than of heart, many parks have been so hermetically sealed against them that they have been driven to take refuge in dreary, flat meadows in the outskirts of towns, where they lost half their significance and interest'.

LORD PORTMAN, PRESIDENT OF THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

Lord Portman, president of the Royal Agricultural Society, 1862. Engraving from a photograph by John and Charles Watkins. 'The present peer has always been a most active supporter of the Royal Agricultural Society, and acted as its president when it met at Newcastle in 1846, and again at Chelmsford in 1857. When the lamented Prince Consort died, after attending only one meeting of the society in his capacity as president, it was felt that no one could be selected more fitted than his Lordship to finish out the year of office and guide the destinies of the society through a most difficult and important crisis in its history. What tact, untiring energy and method, his Lordship has brought to bear on the task, those who have seen him at the head of affairs in the showyard, or presiding over the councils of Hanover-square with a firm and yet very conciliatory hand, can most truly testify. His Lordship has been a considerable breeder of Devon cattle, principally from Mr. Davy's, of Flitton's blood; and Mr. Paull's Young Hebe and Young Gold Cup, the first prize and reserved number in the two-year-old heifer class at the Battersea Show, were both bred by him. We believe...that latterly he has rather leant towards the improvement of Alderneys'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862. Lord Portman, president of the Royal Agricultural Society, 1862.

THE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT BY ROYAL COMMISSION, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

The Opening of Parliament by Royal Commission, 1862. 'Our Illustration represents the House of Lords as it appeared on the 6th February during the ceremony of delivering her Majesty's Speech...the ceremonial...has been for many years performed by her Majesty in person with undeviating regularity...A glance at our Engraving will show a significant omission in the usual furniture of the House of Lords...the chair on the left hand of the throne, on which the late Prince Consort was accustomed to sit...has been removed...As is probably well known, when the Queen does not attend in the House of Peers, the ceremony of opening or proroguing Parliament differs from the ordinary mode of giving the Royal assent to bills only in the circumstance that the Lord Chancellor reads the Speech which has been prepared for her Majesty...a few ladies who are admitted to occupy those which we are accustomed to call the peeresses' places appear in ordinary morning costume. On this occasion the universality of their mourning adds to the sombreness and depressing aspect of the scene. On a bench in front of the throne, and at the back of the woolsack, sit the five Lords Commissioners. The centre figure, it need hardly be said, is the Lord Chancellor'.

Russell's Administration...Not long since his Lordship attained some literary celebrity from the publication of a journal of a yacht voyage far into the Arctic regions, under the title of "Letters from High Latitudes"; and, owing to his having as a traveller acquired considerable knowledge of the people and the country of Syria, he was last year selected by the Government to act as Commissioner for England to inquire into the state of Syria after the massacre which took place arising out of the disputes between the Druses and the Maronites.

THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

The Duke of Devonshire, 1862. 'The recent election of the Duke of Devonshire to the office of Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, vacant by the decease of the Prince Consort, has caused us to engrave a Portrait of his Grace...from a photograph by Maull and Polyblank. William Cavendish, seventh Duke of Devonshire, Marquis of Hartington, Earl of Devonshire, Earl of Burlington, Baron Cavendish, and Baron Clifford, K.G., F.R.S., D.C.L., is the eldest son of the late Hon. William Cavendish...The position held by his Grace as a member of the University of Cambridge, and his having occupied an office akin to that to which he has just been appointed, give a certain fitness to the selection which has been made by the authorities of the University, and probably tended to bis election being unopposed. His Grace was also M.P. for the University of Cambridge in 1829 and 1830, previous to his accession to the peerage...In 1832 he was elected for North Derbyshire, which division of the county he represented until 1834, when he succeeded to the earldom of Burlington. In 1858 he was created a Knight of the Garter'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862. The Duke of Devonshire, 1862. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
