650 Life of Count Rumford: 



A superb portrait in oil of the Elector Charles Theo- 

 dore, by Kellerhofer, with a stately frame. 



Portraits, in oil, of the Countesses Nogarola and 

 Baumgarten. 



A colored chalk portrait, cabinet size, of the Baroness 

 de Kalbe. 



Original portrait of Count Rumford, in colored 

 chalk, cabinet size, by Lane, taken in 1809, the one 

 most cherished by the daughter. 



There are also German landscapes, painted in water- 

 colors, by ladies of Munich, and presented to Rumford 

 for his signal services in keeping the French and Aus- 

 trian troops out of the city ; views in the English 

 Garden at Munich; a pencil sketch of M. Pictet ; and 

 an engraved portrait of Baron Hompesch. 



A marble monument, with an appropriate inscrip- 

 tion, marks the grave of the Countess in the old burial- 

 ground at Concord. 



A hall prepared for social purposes and for the deliv- 

 ery of lectures was opened in Concord, in January, 

 1851, on which occasion an address was made by Mr. 

 C. F. Low of that city, embracing an interesting sketch 

 of the Count's career, taken chiefly from Cuvier's Eloge. 



It is affirmed that the oldest organized institution 

 in this country offering lectures to the community at 

 large, for the purposes of a lyceum, and as a reposi- 

 tory of illustrative apparatus, is that which is still in 

 active operation in the town of Waltham, Massa- 

 chusetts, and which bears the name of " The Rumford 

 Institute." 



The house at Brompton, described so admiringly by 

 Pictet, was, during the Count's occupancy of it, No. 

 45 Brompton Row. It is now numbered 168 Brompton
