[191] This is somewhat noticeable. Patmore, who became a fervent Roman Catholic towards 1863, was in 1849 a strict and indeed prejudiced Protestant. [192] The picture referred to is, I suppose, the _Lorenzo and Isabella_. [193] Is this performance at all remembered now? The engraving from it (a very poor engraving from a very poor picture) was endlessly popular in its day. [194] The Virgin’s Death was never painted. [195] I think this was the grotesque poem named _An Incident in the Siege of Troy_, published in _The Germ_. [196] This was an early work by Woolner; I should say a good one, and easy to “understand.” [197] Mr. Thomas had presented me on 4 December with a list of no less than 65 alternative titles. The MS. list was reproduced in 1897 in the book, _Letters of Dante G. Rossetti to William Allingham_. [198] North has been already mentioned. Clayton is John R. Clayton, then a young painter, and now for many years senior partner in the Glass-painting firm Clayton and Bell. Bliss was a son of a Q.C. and had some literary tendency: he emigrated not long after this date. [199] I wrote the sonnet--don’t now recollect it. The picture was exhibited, not at the British Institution, but at the Royal Academy. [200] This gentleman was correspondent in London to some American journal or journals. [201] A poem by Collinson, published in _The Germ_, No. 2. [202] The etching which Collinson executed for his poem _The Child Jesus_. [203] It did not come in. [204] He was in fact the son of this gentleman. [205] As I have said elsewhere, this was a name bestowed by Madox Brown upon Mr. Samuel Carter Hall, then Editor of the _Art Journal_. Brown intended thus to mark the extreme decorum of appearance maintained by Mr. Hall, whose face, it may be added, was a very fine one. [206] John Abraham Heraud, a Poet and writer then of some note, author of _The Descent into Hell_. [207] _i.e._ My criticism of Arthur H. Clough’s poem _The Bothie of Toper-na-fuosich_. [208] I don’t now remember about these poems. Some verses of mine had at an earlier date, 1848, been published in _The Athenæum_. [209] George Patten A.R.A. was a painter of some elevation of aim, but not a successful executant. [210] A tolerably clear indication of the fact that money was not plentiful among the members of the P.R.B. [211] F. S. means Frank Stone, a painter to whose style of work the P.R.B. were much opposed. He was said, and I believe with truth, to be, at or soon after that time, the Art-Critic of _The Athenæum_; a paper which shortly became very hostile to the P.R.B., but which had not as yet, I think, said anything in their disfavour--rather the contrary. [212] The brother here in question is Alexander Tupper--not John Lucas Tupper, who did not belong to the printing firm.
