veral of the Orations of Isocrates, and 'The Tragedie of Euripides
called Iphigeneia, translated out of Greake into Englisshe.' Among the
royal manuscripts is also to be found a beautiful little volume of
fourteen vellum leaves,[27] containing copies of moral apophthegms, in
Latin, which Sir Nicholas Bacon had inscribed on the walls of his house
at Gorhambury. On the first page, above the arms of Lady Lumley, which
are splendidly emblazoned, is written in gold capitals, 'Syr . Nicholas
. Bacon . Knyghte . to . his . very . good . ladye . the . ladye .
Lumley . sendeth . this,' and on the second page this title, 'Sentences
printed in the Lorde Kepar's Gallery at Gorhambury: selected by him out
of divers authors, and sent to the good ladye Lumley at her desire.' The
sentences, which are thirty-seven in number, are inscribed in gold
capital letters upon grounds of various colours.

There are three portraits of Lord Lumley at Lumley Castle, and one at
Arundel Castle. A fine engraving of another portrait, which was formerly
in the Lumley aisle at Cheam, is in Stebbing's edition of Sandford's
_Genealogical History_. There are also engravings of Lord Lumley by
Fittler and Thane. Lumley Castle also contains a portrait of Lady
Lumley, inscribed 'Jane Fitzalan, daughter to Henry Earle of Arundele,
first wife to John Lord Lumley.'[28]
