their crimes and their vices, essentially SYM

mental hold on the affections of the English
people To them he is still the merry mon

himself, dethroned and banished, and Ian

These feelings of sentiment went very far in

Stuart exhibition
There are still-in sentimental sense, of
course-ardent partisans of Mary Queen of
Scots, and of the young chevalier Jacobites

questionable whether there yet linger any

bition are amazingly copious and rich, but
the display itself must vindicate its claims to
public recognition less as an abstract and
brief chronicle of the Tudor monarchs than
as the reproduction of a splendidiy pictur
esque and artistic epoch. One most import
ant step toward the latter contamination will
be made, the committee have hastened to
announce, by special endeavor to bring to
gether rs complete a series as possible of the
works of the illustrious artist Hans Holbein.
