i 3 o A HISTORY OF 



Duchess of Northumberland, who also spent some 

 time in one of the schools, which was then in full 

 work. In 1832, a similar visit was paid by the 

 Marquis of Anglesey and the Ladies Paget. 



On the 9th of June 1836, was announced the death 

 of Henry Aaron Baker, who for a period of forty-nine 

 years had guided the architectural school. 



In the silver trade, the modelling school was 

 found especially useful. A splendid piece of plate 

 was executed by Tear, who had been brought up in 

 the schools, for Lord Combermere, when commander 

 of the forces (to the order of Messrs. Law). This 

 was taken to London for exhibition. Another piece 

 of plate, executed by Percy, also of the schools, (to 

 the order of West & Son), was a gift to Lord Manners, 

 lord chancellor, from the Bar. 



The following is a list of some noted artists and 

 sculptors who received their education in the Society's 

 schools, up to the year 1836, taken from the report 

 of the select committee on the Royal Dublin Society 

 made in that year.
