gn of the great Napoleon. Most especially noticeable is the scene in a court of justice, with "Darby in the Chair;" the face of that hero with an expression apparently abashed, but really full of roguishness, as he gazes at the counsel, is one of the most successful of Browne's efforts. _The O'Donoghue_ (1845), has twenty-six illustrations, most of which are well conceived. The falling body of a man in the frontispiece is a remarkable drawing. The girlish figure of Kate O'Donoghue, as she bends over the form of her heart-broken brother Herbert, is well depicted. _St. Patrick's Eve_ (1845), with four etchings and several woodcuts. The most remarkable of the former is "The Cholera Hut." _The Knight of Gwynne_ (1847), with forty illustrations. _Roland Cashel_ (1850), with forty illustrations. _The Daltons_ (1852), with forty-eight illustrations. _The Dodd Family Abroad_ (1854), with forty illustrations. The shrewd simplicity of Kenny Dodd is well delineated. _The Martins of Cro' Martin_ (1856), with forty illustrations. _Davenport Dunn_ (1859), with forty-four illustrations. _One of Them_ (1861), with thirty illustrations. _Barrington_ (1863), with twenty-six illustrations. _Luttrell of Arran_ (1865), with thirty-two illustrations. The following works of W. Harrison Ainsworth contain etchings and woodcuts by "Phiz:"-- _Revelations of London_, published about 1845, but never completed, has an illustration which represents a tumble-down house in Vauxhall Road, which is almost Rembrandt-like in its power. The artist was about thirty years of age when he executed this. _Old St. Paul's_ (1847), contains only two plates by "Phiz," but _The Spendthrift_ (1857), _Mervyn Clitheroe_, and _Crichton_ were wholly illustrated by him.

[O] If the following statement, made in the _Frankfurt Zeitung_, can be credited, any feeling of enmity that existed between them had long since died out:--"Just after the death of Charles Dickens, 'Phiz' was considerably affected by the mere mention of the name of that illustrious novelist, which seemed to stir up in his breast feelings of regret at losing such a friend." SOME MISCELLANEOUS WORKS ILLUSTRATED BY "PHIZ." _A Paper: of Tobacco, &c., by Joseph Fume_ (1839). With six plates by
