 the invaluable aid she has so kindly given me, without which 

 this work could never have been done ; and also to the Rev. 

 F. Brodhurst, Vicar of Heath with Ault Hucknall, who has 

 most kindly lent six blocks to illustrate the Catalogue, which 

 add much to its interest. 



HAWKESBURY. 



N.B. — The names of the portraits which are fixed to the 

 frames were placed there, in 1879, by order of the present 

 Duke, then Lord Hartington.
