[Cover title:] Der Fries im Thronsaale des Koeniglichen Schlosses in Dresden al fresco gemalt … Gezeichnet und radirt von Hugo Bürkner … Leipzig, Verlag von Georg Wigand [1846]. Oblong slim folio (260 × 685 mm), 16 tinted etchings by Bürkner after Bendemann; with the original printed front wrapper (stamped 1846) bound in; some scattered foxing, largely in the margins; contemporary cloth, the spine running along the upper edge, upper board lettered gilt; armorial bookplate of Edward Nicholas Hurt (1795–1867) of Lincoln’s Inn and his ink ownership signature to the wrapper. £450 First edition, the issue with the plates unfolded. Bendemann (1811– 1889) was appointed professor at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts in 1838, and soon received a commission to paint the halls in the royal palace there. In the throne room, he created huge frescos featuring rulers and legislators from Moses to Henry the Fowler (d.936), and showing how the human soul progresses from an original state of innocence, through its earthly life, to salvation and Paradise. Wigand published Bürkner’s etchings of the frescos in two forms. As here, with the plates unfolded, printed on Chinese paper, and as an oblong 4to, prefaced by six pages of explanatory text, in German and English, with the etchings folded in half and mounted on stubs.

Given the advanced state of the scholarship, one assumes that Sall lifetime paintings of Johnson have been identifed, cataloged, and discussed.1 We do not expect to stumble upon a new contemporary portrait of Johnson, let alone two diferent portraits, one by a then-unknown Lady Anne Lindsay (1750–1825), the eldest child of the ffh Earl of Balcarres, the other by the well-known portrait painter John Opie (1761–1807). Te frst is unknown; the second has been of the radar of both art historians and Johnson scholars. Lady Anne Lindsay’s efort—a drawing in pencil and watercolor—was executed in November 1773, at the home of Sir Alexander Dick, the president of the Royal College of Physicians in Scotland and Lady Anne’s great-uncle, at the end of Boswell and Johnson’s Highland tour.2 Te Opie “discovery” occurred in Fife during a visit to Balcarres House, Fife, the sixteenth-century home of I am grateful to the twenty-ninth Earl of Crawford and Balcarres for his kind hospitality in inviting me to Balcarres, for providing the image reproduced here, and for his general support of this research.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this docum ent have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)", If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

By HYDE CLARKE, F.S.S., Foreign Secretary and Secretary for Comparative Philology of the Ethnological Society. [Read before the Statistical Society, June, 1871.] THE doctrine of the hereditary transmission of mental qualities was not very many years ago regarded as unphilosophical, as it still is by the great mass. My own attention was drawn to it long since, and it appeared to me desirable to collect facts for its statistical appreciation, which I did, but delayed their publication.
