" Our author had previously distinguished himself by the
production of a highly-interesting work, ' The Manuscripts
of Erdely.' The reputation he gained by which is well
maintained by this powerfully written tragedy—dramatic most
skilfully treated—language of a superior description."—
Bell's New Weekly Messenger.
" Mr. Stephens takes, and is entiled to take, rank much
higher than Mr. Sheridan Knowles and Sir E. L. Buiwer,
and, if no other proof were existant, Gertrude and Beatrice
would alone suffice."—Canadian Magazine.
" Written in the pure and powerful language of our
greatest writers. We recommend his play for the simplicity,
earnestness, and passion of the poetry, and the deep and
well-sustained interest of the story. '—NewMontkly Maga-
' zine on a former tragedy.
" We hail this effort of genius as an omen that tragedy is
at last awaking from the death-like slumber in which it has
so long reposed."—Landon Magazine, on a former tragedy.
" I lose no time in expressing my high appreciation of the
merit of your tragedy, and doubt not the public will be of the
same opinion."—Sir Walter Scott, on a former tragedy.

THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE NATIONAL GAL-
LERY.

THE PROPRIETORS OF THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE TO THE
PEOPLE OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE.
rpHE Proprietors of the WEEKLY CHRONICLE, encou-
raged by the still increasing prosperity of their Journal,
have determined upon the publication of afieries of Portraits,
ENGRAVED ON STEEL, to be called collectively " THE
NATIONAL GALLERY ;" this title being adopted from the
conviction that any other name, less comprellensive, would
be found unworthy of the extent and high purpose of the
undertaking, as well as of the surpassing beauty with which
it will be carried out. The appearance of the " NATIONAL
GALLERY," whether considered as a work of art or reference
to its easy possession by the very humblest of the land, will
form an extraordinary epoch in the history of the English
Press.
OBJECTS OF THE WORK.

The purpose of the Proprietors of THE WEEKLY CHRO-
NICLE is to assemble in the "NATIONAL GALLERY" the
Portraits of those Public Men who have most distinguished
themselves during the present century ; and whose labours,
whether in the field or the senate, have exercised the greatest
influence 'upon the age in which they live. In addition to
these will be given the most distinguished Women of the
Court of Queen Victoria ; with whose own Portrait the Gal-
lery would naturally have commenced but for the circum-
stance of its having been so recently presented to the readers
of THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE.
The Publication of the Gallery will proceed in the follow-
ing order :
DUKE OF WELLINGTON.
LORD GREY.
SIR R. PEEL.
MR. WILBERFORCE.
LORD DURHAM.
THE SPEAKER.
HER MAJESTY.
LORD MELBOURNE.
DUCHESS OF KENT.
LORD JOHN RUSSELL.
DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND.
MARQUIS OF NORMANBY.
LORD BROUGHAM.
LORD LYNDHURST.
MR. O'CONNELL.
DUCHESS OF NORTHUMBERLAND.
LORD LEICESTER.
LORD SPENCER.
THE QUEEN DOWAGER.
SIR JAMES GRAHAM.
MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE.
LORD FITZWILLIAM.
LORD STANLEY.
LORD MORPETH.
