The Museum Gazette 



might have been brother and sister. He was a Norwich 

 man, and the son of a mother " revered for benevolence, 

 cheerfulness and activity." He was himself a man of un- 

 tiring industry, and of great amiability of character. His 

 biographer states that his moral and religious qualities were 

 deserving of the highest praise. " . . .It was his constant 

 and earnest desire to banish jealousy and rivalship from the 

 pursuits of science, and to cultivate a union and good under- 

 standing between the botanists of all nations." He was by 

 creed a Unitarian, and sacrificed a professorship at Cam- 

 bridge to his religious convictions. If we mistake not, his 

 character is well expressed in his face, and allowing for 

 difference in sex and surroundings, probably much the same 

 might be assigned to Mrs. Unwin. Such faces may, perhaps, 

 be considered as implying patience, amiability, and freedom 

 from passion. They are probably usually coincident with 

 rather short stature. 



Portrait No. V. in last month's Gazette (here repro- 

 duced for convenience of reference) is that of Fenelon, 

 Archbishop of Cambray in the time of Louis XIV., and the 

 author of " Telemachus." 



Features. — The forehead is rather high, but sloping and 

 narrow ; eyebrows strong, and eyes moderately sunken ; nose 

 large and of sub-Roman type ; mouth of average size with 

 well-curved lips ; chin light and pointed. 



Expression. — Genial, smiling and benevolent. 



Accessories. — Those of a Church dignitary. 



On the whole, Fenelon's face is one to inspire trust and to 

 suggest a lovable, sincere nature. The mouth especially is 

 mild and mobile. The suggestion is perhaps rather of quick 

 intelligence and sympathy, than of profound thought. The 

 descent may be supposed to have been Italian-Gallic.
