Among other paintings, which at present hang on the hall panelling, are portraits of the following famous members of our College:--Edward White Benson (1829-96) archbishop of Canterbury, Isaac Hawkins Browne (1706-60), Arthur Cayley (1821-95), the earl of Derby (1826-93), Michael Foster (1836-1907), Francis Galton (1822-1911), the earl of Halifax (1661-1715), Fenton John Anthony Hort (1828-92), Richard Claverhouse Jebb (1841-1905), Joseph Joachim (1831-1907) the musician, Thomas Jones (1756-1807), Joseph Barber Lightfoot (1828-89) bishop of Durham, Frederick Denison Maurice (1805-72), James Clerk Maxwell (1831-79), viscount Melbourne (1779-1849), Matthew Raine (1760-1811), Adam Sedgwick (1785-1873), Henry Sidgwick (1838-1900), Charles John Vaughan (1816-97), Brooke Foss Westcott (1825-1901) bishop of Durham, John Westlake (1828-1908), and William Whewell (1794-1866). Of these, Raine, Jones, Halifax and Hawkins Browne lived in the eighteenth century. The last-named is known to fame through having caused a change in the family reigning in the two Sicilies. In fact, coming to Naples in his travels he danced at a court ceremony "with such inconceivable alacrity and vigour" as to provoke universal amusement and amazement: in particular the queen's laughter was so immoderate that a miscarriage ensued. On such events may the histories of dynasties and empires turn! He is described on this occasion as pirouetting in a "dress of volcano silk with lava buttons": perhaps it is in this costume that he is depicted on our walls. Having related this anecdote I must in fairness add that he was a poet of considerable ability, a good talker in an age when the standard of conversation was high, and an excellent judge of wine. Most of the portraits are, however, of celebrities of the Victorian age. Of these, Melbourne and Derby were politicians; Benson, Hort, Lightfoot, Vaughan, and Westcott represent the church; Westlake was a lawyer; Jebb a scholar; Maurice and Sidgwick represent ethical philosophy; while Cayley, Foster, Galton, Maxwell, Sedgwick, and Whewell, were men of science. Among the canvasses above the panelling are portraits of Richard Bentley (1662-1742) the scholar, Edward Coke (1549-1634) the lord chief justice, Cowley (1618-67) the poet, John Dryden (1631-1701) the poet, the earl of Macclesfield (1666-1732), John Pearson (1613-86) bishop of Chester, Robert Smith (1689-1768) the mathematician, and John Wilkins (1614-72) bishop of Chester. Wilkins is now almost unknown but he wrote some interesting books, notably one on the ciphers employed in the civil war of the seventeenth century. Another work of his on the possibility of a journey to the moon, provoked the duchess of Newcastle to ask him where she could find a place to bait if she tried the journey: "Madam," said he, "of all the people in the world I least expected that question from you, who have built so many castles in the air that you may lie every night in one of your own."
