55. _Progress of Civilization_--painted for the Mechanics' Institute at
Hull. This work is admirably conceived, and reflects great credit on the
talents of Mr. H. P. Briggs.
56. _Mary Queen of Scots meeting the Earl of Bothwell between Stirling and
Edinburgh._ Mr. Cooper has treated this subject with his usual care, and
appears to have delineated the costume very accurately. The horses are
spirited, and finely executed.
62. _Portrait of Lady Lyndhurst_--painted very much in the manner of
Rembrandt, by D. Wilkie, R. A.
65 and 66. _Portraits of their Majesties_--painted for the Corporation of
the Trinity House, by Sir William Beechy.
78. _An Italian Family_, by C. L. Eastlake, is an interesting picture, and
extremely rich in colour.
79. _The Maid of Judith waiting outside the tent of Holofernes, till her
Mistress had consummated the deed that delivered her country from its
invaders:_ a wonderful production, by Etty.
