TWO NOTABLE WILLS.

Two notable wills, remarks the London Daily
Telegraph, have just been proved, and abstracts
of their provisions have been published In the
columns of an illustrated contemporary, which
takes pleasure 10 making known the Innermost
desires OF dead men. Rank and talent cannot
be permitted to enjoy privacy, even as regards
the contents of their last wills and testaments,
and the public will not deem that any conslde-
rations Of decorum have been violated In the
announcement that the personal estate, lnclu-
sive OF leaseholds, of the late Sir Edwin Land.
seer, has been sworn under one hundred and
sixty thousand pounds, and that of the late Sir
Henry Holland under one hundred and forty
thousand pounds With regard to the rela-
tons, friends and dependents to whom the illus
,rious painter and the eminent physician have
LETT their wealth. it is not necessary In this place
to be more communicative. Looking upon them,
as their contemporaries have right to do. as
thoroughly public men, it must be matter OF
satisfaction to know that Sir Edwin and SIR
Henry died so rich. More gratifying 1t is to
remember that their afluence was the result
of their own strenuous and lndetatlgable
exertions. We will not say that in Sir Hen
ry Hollands case he must have paid. one
hundred and forty thousand visits to patients
or half that number at a gulnea,or two gul1eas'
par Seance, lu OEuSI w pAiC w 'nS PSoNA
although, supposiog him to have seen only
dozen patients per diem during his fifty years
.of active practice, he may have been consulted
Two hundred and uineteen thousand times. 1t
is we'll known however, that the wondering Ha-
xix began bis life with very modest resources,
and that the bulk of bis fortune was carefully
aud patiently built up by the pursuit OF his Vo-
cation. Physicians fees, when they DO begin
to flow iu, tumble in on the, recipient with
cataract like volume; and we all remember the
story Of the famous doctor of Queen Anne
reign, who when he had lost all his savings 10
financial crash, remarked that the misfortune
was only equivalent to going up so many thous-
and fights Of stairs again. With respect to SIR
Edwin, it was DOT until late in life that he could
command really large prices, and began to make
money Twenty years ago, he was compare
lively poor man, or, rather, be was in the
comfortable position Of not knowing whether he
was rich or poor Virtually the print sellers
aud not the pictures he painted, made the
great artists fortune, which was carefully
"uursed'' by devoted fliends. The result was
anoble one. 1t would have been national
scaudal had our Laudseer died 10 iudicence.
