The atheneum-- We only hope thst it will be soon found
a necessary classic for all schools of art, and for all amateur
students of art and architecture. The book Is blight
enough to serve a London family in summer Instead
of 'lowers, and to warm a London room In winter as
well as a flex It would stimulate the imaginations of all art
designers who could be humble enough to admire and generous
enough not to copy. It is an encyclopedia of one branch of art,
and Is • noble example of typographical skill and taste, and of
the ateedike energy and elasticity of the Author's mind. It
contains the meet of a Ufe's study, aided by pupils, Melds, and
workmen, Years aim Government alone would have ventured
on such a publication—now It is the mere leisure hour work of a
clever and enterprising mind Mr. Jones must continue in this
branch of art. and publish more Domilanle primers tike this, so
as to deserve still more the thanks of the increasing art public."

Bedford to publish the photographic pictures taken for H.B.H.

spect the photographs before ordering, the following extracts
front the criticisms of the most Influential journals are n
pleaded. I. The place of honour for perfection In all that re-

be, they speak to us, In their solemn and deserted grandeur, of
a past civilization, a past power, and a past wealth, they speak
to us, In their caned columns, pillars, and friezes, of all that
has been great and glorious, more eloquently and more forcibly
than muthing which the words of a ready writer could convey
td us le poetry or In prose. 3. The student can study from
photographs of this kind with almost the same advantages as
awn the monuments themselves. 4. It ii impossible to laud too
highly the perfection with which the grandest features and the
minutest details are alike presented in these pictures Thetas-

That comes from the Reformation.
It is Important, therefore, that this great epoch should be
better known . nay more, it must become popular : mid. for that
it is fit that it should not only be described m looks.L=reeented by the productions Of art It is this end we
have In view in laying before the public a few scenes In the life
of the great Reformer.
This design has been conceived and executed by an eminent
artist whose name and family are equally known In France,
England, an.l liolland, and who has already acquired an honour-
able reputation by his former works, especially by his two ham-
tanlariki tin.. of "Luther, Melaucthon, Pomeranus, and Cruclger
Um the Bible." and nto Conference at Geneva In 1519."
Hy estimable friend, M. Lahouchere, desired me to describe
with the pen the gamey which he has so ably depicted with his
pencli Although I felt my insufficiency for such a task, I did
not think it right to be deaf to his repeated entreatiea.
I have merely added some rough outlines to the finished work
of H. labouchere, for I know that, In publications of this kind,
the whole attention is directed to the plates, and that the letter
press holds • secondary rank. Although It may be my fete not
to be read, I have, nevertheless, had pleasure in carefully tracing
these historic scenes of the Reformation of Luther. I thought
I could not do better than take as my guide an espression of
Luther's "An animated narrative is like a picture, and Is fixed
ter more deeply in the mind than an abstract doctrine."
tollistorzeought that eto be wrl
verythiogitestotnull hiset°tritactdmanacCiearrillac-n, vim
nature. History must live again in the eyes of those who stady
it. and they must be eye-witnesses of the things they are told.
This Is more especially neemsery when we have to deal with •
few detached scenes, and not a 'Gatineau narrative. for a
scene to have indispensable ttatiitalnees and life, it Is allow-
able, and even necessary, to add here a shadow, there • light, in
harmony with the design and the general arrangement—to give
the touches required to complete the resemblance.
The severe muse of history excludes all that has not really
taken place; it Is not strictly the time with pictures of the past.
Here we must take truth rather than reality for our guide.
There are museums where statues are exhibited Just es they
have been found, that is to say, mutilated, without arms, perhaps
even without heads. There are other museums where the statues
are restored to what they most originally have been. where the
missing limbs are am•rd according to the analogy of those that
are left. This is what the historic picture does.
And yet, while referring the reader. fond of history strictly
written, to my work on the Reformation of the Sixteenth Cen-
tury, 1 may add that the scenes here laid before him are true
historic scenes.
I have only now to express a desire that this publication, even
while inters iting Its readers, may contribute, In some small
degree, to make true Protestantism better known. Some one of
these pictures may reveal the inner forces which have in modern
times restored the living religion of the apostolic ages : while
another may manifest the firmness with which Ito purity ought
to be maintained. These two things—truth and life—are neces-
sary. so that amid the divers forms. more or less defective, of
religions society, evangelical Christianity may accomplish the teak
which God has assigned It, and be the true, powerful, and
military religion.
This, to my mind, Is the prime Interest of human kind.

OPENING
- OF
PAIeLIAMENT.
(THIS DAY.)

The fifth session:of the sixth parliament of Queen
Victoria was opened to-day by Royal C03111116g012. The

absence of her Majesty was a subject of univereal regret.
The weather was eminently favourable for the display and
out-door enjoyment which characterise a royal opening of
parliament. As it was, the whole interest of the day
(motored in the speech itself. The spectators in the
House of Lords were limited in number, the persons
of the commiaaioners not having the charm which

opaline], the presence of so many fashionable', whenever
the sovereign is seen on the throne. The general expecta-
tion, however, th►t the Prince of Wales will take his mat
in the upper chamber this afternoon will bring together a
more than usual camerae of spectators.

The Speech, which wee reed by the Lord Chewsllor,
mu me follows :

MT Loans AND Gl

Her Majesty commands us to inform you that
since you were last assembled she has declared her
consent to a marriage between his Royal Highness
the Prince of Wales and her Royal Highness the
Princess Alexandra, daughter of Prince Christian
of Denmark ; and her Majesty has concluded there-
upon a treaty with the King of Denmark, which
will be laid before you.
The constant proofs which her Majesty has re-
ceived of your attachment to her person and family
persuade her that you will participate in her senti-
mute on an event so interesting to her Majesty,
and which, with the blessing of God, will, she
trusts, prove so conducive to the happiness of her
family and to the welfare of her people.
Her Majesty doubts not that you will enable her
to make provision for such an establishment as you
may think suitable to the rank and dignity of the
heir apparent to the crown of these realms.
A revolution having taken place in Greece, by
which the throne of that kingdom has become
vacant, the Greek nation have expressed the
strongest desire that her Majesty's son Prince
Alfred should accept the Greek crown. This un-
solicited and spontaneous manifestation of good-
will towards her Majesty and her family, and of a
due appreciation of the benefits conferred by the
principles and practice of the British constitution,
could not fail to be highly gratifying, and has been
deeply felt by her Majesty.
But the diplomatic engagements of her Majesty's
crown, together with other weighty considerations,
have prevented her Majesty from yielding to this
general wish of the Greek nation.
Her Majesty trusts however, that the same prin-
ciples of choice which led the Greek nation to direct
their thoughts, in the first instance, towards his
Royal Highness Prince Alfred, may guide them to
the selection of a Sovereign under whose sway
the Kingdom of Greece may enjoy the
blessings of internal prosperity and of
peaceful relations with other States ; and
if in such a state of things the republic
of the Seven Islands should declare a deliberate
wish to be united to the kingdom of Greece, her
Majesty would be prepared to take such steps as
may be necessary for a revision of the treaty of
November, 1815, by which that republic was re-
constituted and was placed under the protection of
the British crown.

' Her Majesty's relations with foreign powers
continue to be friendly and satisfactory.

Her Majesty has abstained from taking any step
with a view to induce • cessation of the conflict
between the contending parties in the North
American States ; because it has not yet seemed to
her Majesty that any such overtures could be
attended with a probability of success.
Her Majesty has viewed with the deepest concern
the desolating warfare which still rages in those
regions ; and she has witnessed with heartfelt
grief the severe distress and suffering which
that war has inflicted upon a large class of her
Majesty's subjects, but which have been borne
by them with noble fortitude and with exemplary
resignation. It is some consolation to her Majesty
to be led to hope that this suffering and this dis-
tress are rather diminishing than increasing ;
and that some revival of employment is beginning
to take place in the manufacturing districts.
It has been most gratifying to her Majesty to
witness the abundant generosity with which
all classes of her subjects in all parts
of her empire have contributed to re-
lieve the wants of their suffering fellow-
countrymen ; and the liberality with which her
Majesty's colonial subjects have on this occasion
given their aid has proved that, although their
dwelling-places are far away, their hearts are still
warm with unabated affection for the land of their
father,.

The relief committees have superintended with
constant and laborious attention the distribution of
the funds entrusted to their charge.

Her Majesty commands us to inform you that
she has concluded with the King of the Belgians •
treaty of commeroe and navigation, and a conven-
tion respecting joint-stook companies. That treaty
and that oouvention will be laid before you.

Her Majesty has likewise given directions that
there shall be laid before you papers relating to the
affairs of Italy, of Greece, and of Denmark, and
that papers shall also be laid before you relating
to . .

which have lately taken place in
OP THE Hones OF CONIKONS,

Her Majesty has directed that the estimates for
the ensuing year shall be laid before you. They
have been prepared with a due regard to economy,
and will provide for such reductions of expenditure
as have appeared to be consistent with the proper
efficiency of the public service.
MY LORDS AND GIINTLINZN,

We are commanded by her Majesty to inform
you that, notwithstanding thu continuance of the
civil war in North America, the general commerce
of the country during the past year has not senribly-
diminished.

The Treaty of Commerc3 which her Majesty
concluded with the Emperor of the French has
already been productive of results highly &Ivan_
tageous to both the nations to which it applies ;
and the general state of the revenue, notwithstand-
ing many unfavourable circumstances, has not
been unsatisfactory.

Her Majesty trusts that these results may be
taken as proofs that the productive resources of the
country are unimpaired.
It has been gratifying to her Majesty to observe
the spirit of order which happily prevails through-
out berdominions, and which is so essential an
ment in the well-being and prosperity of nations.
V►rious measures of public usefulness and im-
provement will be submitted for your oonsidera-
tion ; and her Majesty fervently prays that in all
your deliberations the blessing of Almighty God

may guide your counsels to the psuipat4of the
welfare and happtwo her-people. -
