Vol. II. contains 15 Plates-fourteen comprising 32 portraits and the fifteenth (p. 518) being a large, folded plate by S. Fokke (1751), after A. Schouman, representing a Model posing in the Academy for Painters who are copying him.

This is a continuation of the Work of Houbraken entitled the "Groote Schouburgh." The plates, with groups of Portraits, are mostly by Houbraken and P. Tanjé, after A. Schouman.

... Vols. I. and II. were dictated to General Gourgaud, aide-de-camp to Napoleon, and Vols. III. and IV. to the Count de Montholon.

The Memoirs were commenced even while Napoleon was on his way to "his rock "of Exile."

During his six years of captivity he would order his Generals to investigate a subject," and when all the materials were collected he dictated to them extempore." He perused all the new works he could obtain and wrote or rather dictated his "Notes" upon them, revising the MS. with his own hand, rewriting much, and often redictating a whole Memoir.

The Volumes have several Facsimiles and Maps.

London: Owen Jones. 1842 & 1845. 2 vols. Atlas folio. Half morocco, edges gilt. Illust., see each Vol. a. t.

...This is a large paper copy with India Proof Plates.

M. Goury died of cholera, at Granada, whilst engaged in preparing the original drawings. The work was completed by Mr. Owen Jones. To insure accuracy an impression of every Ornament throughout the Palace was taken either in plaster or with unsized paper.

The List of the 51 Plates in Volume I. is given in Spanish, English, and French. The Historical Notice by M. Gayangos (20 pp.) is given in English and French, and includes four wood-cuts incorporated with the Text.

Each Plate (in this Volume) is followed by a leaf of explanatory letter-press, and of the 51 Plates 25 are coloured.

In Vol. II. the List of Plates is given in English and French. The Plates are 50 in number and include 87 Ornaments, Panels, Capitals of Columns, etc. etc. Of these 41 are coloured. The Volume closes with a handsome coloured "Ornament" by way of completion to a remarkable selection of Moorish decoration.

Plates 47, 48, and 49 in Vol. I. represent the Paintings on the ceiling of the Hall of Justice. They are very interesting in themselves, and also have been much discussed from the point whether they are Moorish or not. The prohibition of the Koran against representing animated Beings argues against their being such, but the workmanship tells the other way. They are supposed to represent a tribunal: and possibly the figures represent the heads of the Tribes of Granada.

Gower, Lord Ronald.-LENOIR COLLECTION, THE, of Original [669] French Portraits at Stafford House. Auto-lithographed. London: Maclure and Macdonald. 1874. Large folio.

Cloth.

This makes a third and splendid companion to the two great works of P. G. J. Niel's French Portraits of the 16th Century and John Chamberlaine's Portraits by Holbein of the persons of the Court of Henry VIII.

The Portraits here reproduced were collected together by Mons. Alexandre Lenoir (1761-1838) between the years 1816 and 1836, when he was compelled to sell thembut Louis Philippe's government would not pay the price asked, and they were allowed to be sold to a foreigner and are now preserved at Stafford House.

Lord R. Gower states that with few exceptions none of the Portraits have been hitherto copied or engraved.

There are 187 portraits in this collection on sheets numbered 1 to 136. A List of the Portraits follows the Title-page, and after Plate 136 are 20 pages of Notes in double columns (printed on one side only) explanatory of the Portraits. The numbers given below follow the numbers used in the "Notes."

No. 2, Antoine de Bourgoyne," does not belong to the Lenoir Collection," but has been in the same room with that Collection ever since 1836, and so seems to form a part of it.

No. 20, "Head Unknown," is "attributed to Raphaël:" but on what ground it is difficult to surmise from the Drawing given.

No. 25 is a portrait of Mary of Guise (Marie de Lorraine), whose only child was Mary, Queen of Scots.

No. 26 is described by Lord R. Gower as, "if genuine, one of the most interesting "in the collection." It purports to be a portrait of Mary, Queen of Scots, and is marked on the back by M. Lenoir "De chez Didot, Avril, 1806." It is painted in oils on canvas, the hair bright auburn, and eyes brown. She wears a white feather in her hair and has her dress (which is scarlet) braided with gold lace.

No. 37 (see Pl. 36) shows a curious “relic”—a piece of the Bell of the Church of St. Germain L'Auxerrois, which sounded the signal for the Massacre of St. Bartholomew in 1572. The bell was broken into fragments at the commencement of the French Revolution, and this fragment M. Lenoir preserved and "inserted into the “frame under the drawing of the three Colignys," whose portraits are given in one picture (Pl. 35).

No. 39 is a portrait of Albert de Gondy, Duc de Retz, “which is worthy of Holbein "both as to execution and finish." It was painted by [Janet] Clouet.

No. 40, marked "Calvinvs Etatis 44. 1538," is utterly unlike any other Calvin we know. The inscription is evidently later than the painting, and inaccurate, as Calvin was not born till 1509. This has been copied (e. g. by Delpech) " as the portrait of "Luther, to whom the face certainly bears a strong resemblance."

No. 63 (see Pl. 56) gives Gabrielle d'Estrées, from a chalk drawing probably by De Moustier.

No. 57 bis, a full-length portrait of Henry IV. (1553-1610), is claimed to be the "gem of the Lenoir Collection."

No. 94, a Portrait of Henri Ruzé Coiffier, Marquis de Cinq Mars (1620-1642), is most interesting. It is marked at the back "pour vrait faict de la main du Roy Louis "13." The fact of this portrait having been executed by Louis XIII. “has never “been disputed.”

Pl. 107 gives two portraits of Ninon de l'Enclos (1616-1706), one by an unknown artist-the other a half-length portrait from a pencil drawing by Nanteuil.

No. 113, Oliver Cromwell, does not belong to this Collection and is improperly included among Original French Portraits.

No. 115, Pierre Mignard's Molière, is "probably the very last for which the great "comedian ever sat." M. Lenoir wrote, in 1838, that this portrait was "sans prix": "le chef-d'œuvre de tous les chef-d'œuvres."

On the Title-page is a vignette or medallion of Lenoir copied from an engraving on the title-page of his work on the "Musée de Monumens Français": a record of a Museum which Lenoir collected at the risk of his life during the French Revolution, and which Louis Philippe and his government allowed to be scattered. The date of Lenoir's birth is given on the vignette as 1762.

A separate alphabetical Memorandum descriptive of these Portraits has been prepared and placed with the work.

Gower, Lord Ronald.-THREE HUNDRED FRENCH PORTRAITS re[670] presenting Personages of the Courts of Francis I., Henry II. and Francis II. By Clouet. Autolithographed from the Originals at Castle Howard, Yorkshire. London: Sampson Low & Co. 1875. 2 vols. Royal folio. Cloth, ornamented. Index at beginning of each Vol.

When T. F. Dibdin visited Castle Howard he mentioned ("Northern Tour," Vol. I. p. 235, published 1838) these Drawings of Clouet as composing "a room full "of most interesting chalk drawings of the eminent men of France in the middle and "latter end of the sixteenth century." He pronounced them "a great treasure" and added, "now that the art of lithography is so general and so cheap, it is much to be "desired that, after the Holbein heads by Chamberlayne, the Janet Gallery might be "introduced to the general acquaintance of the public." François Clouet (circa 1510— 1570 or 72) was the son of Jean Clouet, and was frequently, though incorrectly, called, like his father, by the sobriquet Janet, a diminutive of Jehan, or Maître Jehannet. There are hundreds of crayon drawings attributed to him, and five different collections exist at the Louvre, British Museum, Stafford House, London, Vienna, and at Castle Howard, Yorkshire. The originals of this Collection are in red, black, and yellow, but Lord Gower's work is in monochrome.

There are, including the Frontispiece, 303 portraits in the two Volumes, numbered I to 301, the extra plates being 174 bis and 264 bis, and there being no Number 2 in fact nor in the Index.

The majority of the plates have the names in MS. written at the time in a flowing hand of the period. The last 64 are unnamed portraits.

Lord Ronald Gower considers that the drawings at Castle Howard are original studies taken from life, which Clouet afterwards copied or procured to have copied in a more finished manner.

Waagen, who inspected the collection, described them (Vol. III. p. 321) as a collection of 88 portraits "executed with much spirit and animation in black and red "chalk in the manner of Holbein, which carry the spectator back to that age which "Vitel has described with such characteristic individuality in his historical dramas." “The names,” he adds, “are inscribed by a contemporary hand, and it is very singular "that the men are almost all handsome, the women, with few exceptions, ugly."

No. 16 is a very interesting Mary, Queen of Scots (1552), at the age of nine and a

half years.

Madame de Sçavoie, the daughter of Francis I., is given at Plates 17, 29, 30, 81, 169, and 199, executed at different periods: the last is marked "estant petite."

An alphabetical and descriptive list of these interesting portraits has been prepared and placed with the work.
