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'.

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.
