On Wednesday afternoon, a likeness of the late Frederick Denison

Maurice was unveiled at Queen's College, Harley Street, by Mr. Llewelyn Davies, the Principal of the College. The likeness has just been painted by Mr. Lowes Dickinson, and is one which, as Mr. Davies said in his admirable address, em- bodies that mingled air of "authority and humility" which was the most striking characteristic of Mr. Maurice's countenance. Mr. Davies descanted on Mr. Maurice's courage in insisting that women's education should be as, thorough as men's, at a time when no one had yet ventured to take up this ground, and on his hatred of the meaner motives, apart from the love of know- ledge itself, which are so freely stimulated in order to induce learners to learn, and to persuade them that learning is for their advantage. Mr. Maurice himself has left no successor. He was too unique to be able to impart to others who loved and venerated him, that mingled air of authority and humility which fascinated his disciples. But so long as Mr. Dickinson's portrait remains, " that severe, that earnest air " by which Mr. Maurice was distinguished, will remain to awaken the students of Queen's College to the singularly natural, as well as still more singularly supernatural, wisdom of their real founder.
