principally directed to gem-engraving. He indulged himself in the formation of a collection, for which he erected a museum at his private residence, "the Gothic Hall," on Stamford Hill; some account of the contents of which will be handed down to posterity by Mr. Robinson's History of Hackney, 8vo. 1842, pp. 151 -153, as well as by the catalogue of its recent sale by Christie and Manson.

Mr. Windus was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 1819; and he frequently exhibited some of his curiosities at its meetings, at which also he had generally some remarks to offer upon such works of art as were submitted to the inspection of the members. He was for several years a member of the Noviomagian Society of Antiquaries, in which he filled the office of "Seneschal."

The designs exhibited on the Portland Vase having especially interested his curiosity, he devoted much time and labour to their investigation. In March 1841 he made a communication on this subject to the Society of Antiquaries, which was read before them, and then withdrawn by himself for further consideration. He finally published it in 1845, in quarto, under the title of " A New Elucidation of the Subjects of the celebrated Portland Vase, formerly called the Barberini, and the Sarcophagus in which it was discovered." In a uniform size, Mr. Windus reprinted, with notes, the description of the Portland Vase, by Josiah Wedgwood, F.R.S., F.S.A., originally published in 1790. Mr. Windus's theory in explanation of the designs upon the vase was, that they referred to the physician Galen; and he also connected with the same personage the basreliefs upon the sarcophagus in which the vase was found. Of the sarcophagus, which is supposed to have been that of the Emperor Alexander Severus and his wife Julia Mammæa, and which is still preserved in the Capitolian Museum at Rome, Mr. Windus procured, at considerable expense, a complete plaster cast, which he presented to the British Museum.

In early life Mr. Windus was an active member of the City Light Horse Volunteers; and his whole-length portrait, in military attire, excellently painted by Sayer, is in the possession of his family.

He married early in life, and had twelve children. He lost his eldest son some years ago; a second, Mr. Ansley Windus is a solicitor in London; his third son, Eric, carried on the business after his father retired, but for a short time only; Alfred, the youngest child, went out to India in 1844, and is now a Lieutenant of the Indian navy. He was actively employed in the last Burmese GENT. MAG. VOL. XLIII.

war, and brought home with him a considerable collection of Indian curiosities. Mr. Windus has also left three daughters. Having in early life passed much time at Hadley, near Barnet, with his uncle Peter Moore, esq. sometime M.P. for Tewkesbury and Coventry, Mr. Windus, from attachment to that place, desired to be buried there, and his wishes were complied with.

Mr. Windus's collection of works of art and antiquity was sold by Messrs. Christie and Manson, on the 27th Feb. and two following days. It consisted of intaglie, camei, carvings, ivories, Limoges enamels, bronzes, chasings, crystals, agates, &c., missals, coins, medals, Etruscan pottery, and miscellaneous antiquities; books, drawings, and pictures. The most remarkable articles were:

A Greek cameo head of Aspasia, as Minerva, in a helmet ornamented with masks of Pericles, Socrates, Alcibiades, and Mercury, cut on an onyx of four strata, sold for 121.

A boar's head carved in box-wood, said to have been found in a mound at Whitechapel formed from the rubbish of the Great Fire. At the back is pricked "Wm. BROKE. 1566."

Though neither the style of this inscription, nor that of the carving itself, bears out its claim to be a "Shaksperian relic," it has been engraved in Knight's Pictorial Shakspeare, and was now sold for 251. 48. as we understood, to Mr. Halliwell, the editor of the folio Shakspere at present in progress. (Lot 377 was a seal of the same manufacture, engraved with the royal arms, and the outer case inscribed "William Broke, Boar's Head Taverne, Eastchepe, 1566.")

The produce of the three days' sale was 1,3377.

MR. WILLIAM HERSEE.

Aug. 6, 1854. At Warwick, aged 68, Mr. William Hersee, for more than twenty years editor of the Warwick Advertiser.

Mr. Hersee was a native of Coldwaltham, in Sussex.

66

He made his first literary essay in a volume of "Poems, Rural and Domestic,' printed at Chichester in the year 1810; in the preface to which he describes himfelf as a youth born in a humble cottage, and bred at the plough, unblest by the smiles of fortune, debarred from every advantage of education, and instructed only by the village matron." This book was published by subscription, and dedicated to Mrs. Huskisson. Mr. Hayley, of Felpham, then celebrated as a poet, and the author of the Life of Cowper, patronized the young aspirant, and employed him as his amanuensis.

In 1812, Mr. Hersee printed, also at Chichester, "The Fall of Badajoz, and other Poems." In 1813" The Battle of Vittoria, a Poem," was published at London by Hersee and Cooper, Bunhillrow, at which place he was then established as a bookseller. He subsequently produced "The Tomb of Love, and other Poems, London, 1822," and " Triumph of Benevolence, a Poem."

In 1809 he obtained, through the interest of Mr. Huskisson, the appointment of accountant in the Inland Revenue Office in London, from which he retired with an annuity in 1826. During his official service he compiled a useful volume containing the "Spirit of the Ge

neral Letters and Orders issued by the Board of Excise from 1700 to 1827 inclusive," which was published in 1829, 8vo. He also published two other books of the same class, one a "Guide to Innholders," and the other "The Excise Traders' Guide."

In 1831 Mr. Hersee became editor of the Warwick Advertiser, which he conducted with great assiduity and regularity, until March, 1852, when he was obliged to resign the employment, from ill health. He continued, from time to time, to publish, in that journal, the occasional effusions of his muse. His political writings were consistent and conscientious,-his language of that temperate character which subdues the virulence of party feeling. His great aim, both in public and private life, was to promote peace and good-will among mankind. We have reason to believe he lived and died sincerely esteemed and respected.

Mr. Hersee had been an occasional correspondent of the Gentleman's Magazine, and we may particularly refer to some articles on Holmesdale, in Surrey, which appeared in our volume for 1827, part. ii. pp. 293, 412, 483.

He married, in 1806, Miss Mary Nye, of East Horsley, who is left his widow. He has also left two sons, one married, and three unmarried daughters.

MR. COPLEY V. FIELDING. March 3. At Worthing, in his 68th year, Mr. Copley Vandyke Fielding, President of the Old Society of Painters in Water-Colours.

Mr. Copley Fielding was one of a family of which several members were devoted to cognate pursuits. His brother, Captain Fielding, was originally a student of the fine arts, but abandoned them for the profession of the bar; from which, however, after his marriage, he also retired. Another brother, Thales Fielding, was for many years master of drawing at Woolwich Academy.

Although an extensive painter in oils, it was to water-colours that Copley Fielding's efforts were most constantly directed. He exhibited first, in 1810, at the Old Water-Colour Exhibition in Spring Gardens. His career was from the first successful, and on the death of Joshua Christall he was elected President of the Old Water Colour Society, which office he retained to his death. Of all the members of the profession to which he belonged, scarcely one could be found whose character was more generally admired by artists themselves, as a worthy and accomplished representative of their order, or by his numerous pupils for the affability of his

manner. In a life varied only by periodical changes of residence from the seacoast of Brighton and Worthing, where he spent his autumns, to London, there is little to record; but its results, in the extraordinary number of works, both in oils and water-colours, which issued from his prolific pencil-all of nearly equal excellence, and of unfailing popularity to the last-are of unusual importance and interest. Five pictures, now being exhibited at the British Institution, and of recent execution, testify how little diminution is to be noticed in his powers from the efforts of his younger years.

On the character of the artist's works it is unnecessary here to dwell, from their great frequency and publicity; it will be sufficient to notice that two prevailing conditions of nature seemed to rule his productions-either his rich and wooded landscapes were bathed in the cool airs of morning or the cloudless sultriness of noonday; or else a doomed vessel was seen to be hurried by a raging sea, under the blackest of storms, against a rockbound coast. From these two types his subjects rarely varied. Of that peculiar sweetness and harmony which characterised his style, and which infallibly attracted and gratified the eye alike of the artist and the uninitiated spectator, it is equally needless to speak; indeed, never did the pastoral beauty of his pieces exceed that of Bolton Abbey, or the blended colours of a distant landscape combine more felicitously than in the View of Dunstaffnage Abbey, now exhibited at the British Institution. The Scene at the Entrance of Newhaven Harbour is in the severer style we have mentioned; and the other specimens of his works are all characteristic as types of a large class of similar productions. The unprecedented extent and almost uniform merit of these works will preserve to a distant posterity the fame of the artist, even when the recollection of his personal eminence of character will have passed away with those who enjoyed the pleasure of his intimate acquaintance.-Literary Gazette.

Mr. Copley Fielding had, as he deserved, large prices, and he has died rich. His body was buried on the 10th of March, in the churchyard of Hove, near Brighton.
