Not illustrated. 1891 edition. Excerpt: ... the statues she represented. He (Lord Northwick) was on board Nelson's ship when Caracciolo was taken and brought aboard. His description was most graphic of the whole scene. Of Caracciolo's trial in the cabin he said little, though from his knowledge of the language, he was made useful in some of the proceedings. He said the admiral was fairly tried, but it was by his own countrymen, who were his enemies, and that all he begged was that his execution might be delayed till the King decided on his fate. Lady Hamilton had, however, determined upon his execution, and Nelson thought he was only performing a stern duty. As Caracciolo passed across the deck, he threw himself at Captain Troubridge's feet and clung to his knees to ask that he might have time, but although all pitied him, they found Nelson inflexible. His trial was over at one o'clock, and he was (I believe) ordered for immediate execution; Lady Hamilton was determined that he should be hanged before dinner., o 1 fv They were all assembled in the cabin, Lady Hamilton at the head of the table, when a gun was discharged, and at the sound she jumped up with a grand and tragic air, and said, " Thank God, there is the end of a traitor! " It was the note of Caracciolo's execution. The company were aghast, and the dinner was a most gloomy one. The King, when he heard of the execution of the admiral, was doggedly and sullenly angry, and he would not come near Nelson. He left the ship, choosing rather to trust his own revolutionary subjects. Lady Hamilton, when she heard of the King's sullenness (he loved Caracciolo, and believed that, as he asserted, he was forced into revolution), told Nelson that she would bring him back, and she had a barge fitted up with the ship's band, and another...

His Pictures ?Letter from a Model?.Settles in Kensington? Attracted by the Preaching of Edward Irving?Marriage?Children?Death of his Father. here a sudden stop occurs in my father's autobiography, which, unfortunately, was never resumed, though, in later life, he kept a tolerably voluminous diary. This diary, however, is intermittent until about the period of his election to the full honours of the Royal Academy; and his biography breaks off before he was made an Associate, and long before he began his work in connection with the Department of Practical Art, or his labours in organising that system of Art Education, which now prevails all over Great Britain and Ireland, and may, therefore, be called national. With regard, first of all, to his painting, he was gradually able to devote more time to that part of his work, and less to teaching. He had been hampered as a student with the latter necessity, and placed at a disadvantage, when competing for rewards, from the numberless interruptions to his painting, which the need of supporting himself by giving drawing lessons brought upon him. As early as 1831, however, a picture of his was well placed in the Academy Exhibition, the subject being The Massacre of the Innocents. A wag of the time remarked that all the pictures deserving notice depicted scenes inspired by their painters' names, and amongst other examples he cites A Ship putting out of Harbour, '' by Seaforth, and The Massacre of the Innocents, by Redgrave. In the following year he did not exhibit, but in the succeeding springs he was represented each year on the Academy walls, and his pictures gradually...

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Death is the one subject about which our culture is still reticent. Consequently many ceremonies about death are not examined in an open, enquiring and direct way. The state funeral, that large, public, ritualized statement about death is accepted in our society, while its deeper significances remain unexamined because it is seen as something of an historical curiosity, a survival from an earlier age associated with the traditions of that society. This well-illustrated study of a number of state funerals - of the Medicis and the Habsburgs in the Renaissance, of the Duke of Albemarle in the seventeenth century, of the Duke of Wellington and Abraham Lincoln in the nineteenth century, and of President Kennedy and Diana, Princess of Wales in the twentieth century - and the mythical structures and traditions they represent, examines two aspects in particular: the strongly political undertones of the public statements, and the theatrical elements of the public ritual.
