Among the instances cited of mistakes was that of a por-
trait now at South Kensington, to which the name of
Nell Gwynne is attached, and which is really the likeness
of Mary of Modena. The lectures were filled with hints
how to detect mistakes or forgeries, and thus were
as useful as they were interesting. Indeed, they served
as important oontributions towards diffusing trustworthy
details about the real appearance of the greatest ornaments
of English history and English literature.
