Another side of room shown in Plate LVI. The paper is in pieces 16 by 21 inches. The colors are soft, with green, gray and brown predominating, but with some black, yellow, red, etc. The drawing is good. [Illustration] _PLATE LVIII_ PLATE LVIII. Bay of Naples. This seems to have been the most popular paper of the early nineteenth century. It decorated the room in which the author was born--the library of Professor E. D. Sanborn of Dartmouth College, at Hanover, New Hampshire,--and is still in place. The house is now used as a Dartmouth dormitory. The same scenes are found in the Lawrence house, at Exeter, New Hampshire, now used as a dormitory--Dunbay Hall--of the Phillips Exeter Academy; on the house of Mrs. E. B. McGinley at Dudley, Massachusetts, and on another at St. Johnsbury, Vermont, now owned by Mrs. Emma Taylor. (p. 49, 108) [Illustration] _PLATE LIX_ PLATE LIX. Bay of Naples.

The monument has a Greek inscription which Professor Kittredge of Harvard University translates literally: "Emperor Cæsar, me divine Hadrian. Column of the Emperor Antoninus Pius"--who was the son of Hadrian. The pillar of Antonine still stands at Rome. The statue of Antoninus which formerly surmounted it was removed by Pope Sextus, who substituted a figure of Paul. [Illustration] _PLATE LXI_ _PLATE LXII_ PLATE LXI. Bay of Naples.

Panelled paper in colors, designed by Lafitte and executed by Dufour in 1814. It consists of twenty-six breadths, each five feet seven inches long by twenty inches wide. It is said that fifteen hundred engraved blocks were used in printing. The design is divided into twelve panels, depicting the marriage of Cupid and Psyche, Psyche's lack of faith and its sad consequences. The scene reproduced shows the visit of the newly-wedded Psyche's jealous sisters to her palace, where they persuade her that her unseen husband is no god, but a monster whom she must kill.

While Cupid lies sleeping in the darkness, Psyche takes her dagger, lights her lamp, and bends over the unconscious god: * * * There before her lay The very Love brighter than dawn of day; * * * * *
