16. _A Subject from the Winter's Tale_--good. W. H. Worthington.

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

spirited, and finely executed.

Rembrandt, by D. Wilkie, R. A.

Mistress had consummated the deed that delivered her country from its
