THE DIOCESAN TRAINING COLLEGE, WINCHESTER, OPENED...BY THE BISHOP OF WINCHESTER, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Diocesan Training College, Winchester, opened...by the Bishop of Winchester, 1862. 'This college...stands on the slope of a hill, and looks down on the Vale of Itchen...It is built in that style of architecture which prevailed at the latter end of the fourteenth century, and will, when the grounds are laid out, have a fine effect. It has accommodation of a superior land for fifty-six students, with residences for the Principal, Vice-Principal, and matron...Over the students' entrance is a tower 73ft. high, which, with several gables and stone chimneys, breaks the length of the building and produces a pleasing architectural effect. The walls are faced with Swanage stone set in cement, the windows being dressed with Bath stone, as also the doorways, copings, &c. The roof is covered with grey and red tiles, which produce a warm and agreeable appearance. The gables and turrets are surmounted with gilt vanes. Mr. John Colson, of Winchester, was the architect, and the contract was taken by Mr. Watts, of Southampton, at £7450...The site of the building, five acres in extent, was given by the Dean and Chapter of Winchester...The college was instituted in 1840...It is the training-college for the two dioceses of Winchester and Salisbury'.

The Right Rev. Dr. Charles Thomas Longley, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1862. Engraving from a photograph by Mayall, of Regent-street. 'In 1825 he was appointed Public Examiner, and, having filled the office of Tutor and Censor of Christ Church, he was presented by his college to the incumbency of Cowley, a small benefice in the immediate neighbourhood of Oxford. [In 1829]...he was elected by the trustees to the headmastership of Harrow School...In 1836 the see of Ripon was founded, and Dr. Longley was appointed the first Bishop. On the resignation of Dr. Maltby in 1856, Dr. Longley was translated to the bishopric of Durham; and on the death of Dr. Musgrave, in 1860, to the archbishopric of York. Dr. Longley was most active in the discharge of his episcopal functions as Bishop of Durham, and exerted himself nobly in raising a pecuniary fund for the benefit of the sufferers by the calamitous accident in the Burradon Colliery in 1860; while his zeal and energy in his recent sphere of spiritual duty resulted in the establishment of the York Diocesan Church Building and Endowment Aid Society, in furtherance of which, mainly through his unwearied efforts, many thousands of pounds have been subscribed'.

THE LATE DR. JOHN BIRD SUMNER, ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The late Dr. John Bird Sumner, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1862. Engraving from a photograph by John and Charles Watkins. 'Shortly after his ordination, he was appointed to an assistant-mastership at Eton...The duties of a master at Eton did not exclusively occupy his attention; he was a writer also...In 1816 he won the second prize...for a treatise on "The Evidences." He published this essay in 1817, under the title of "A Treatise on the Records of the Creation and on Moral Attributes of the Creator." The "Evidences of Christianity, Derived from its Nature and Reception," and "Sermons on the Christian Faith and Character," also productions of his pen, went to increase his reputation as an author. He was made, in 1820, a Canon of Durham; he was consecrated Bishop of Chester in 1828, and translated to the archiepiscopal see of Canterbury in 1848...His Grace, during his long public career, rarely spoke in the House of Lords on subjects not relating to the Church. Soon after his elevation to the see of Chester he voted for Catholic emancipation. Latterly he strongly opposed the admission of Jews into Parliament; and in the Divorce Bill strenuously objected to the proposed clause allowing the marriage of the offending parties'.

THE PRAIRIE GROUSE IN THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY'S GARDENS, REGENT'S PARK, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Prairie Grouse in the Zoological Society's Gardens, Regent's Park, [London], 1862. 'A consignment of eighteen specimens of the prairie grouse of North America (Tetzao umbellus), lately received in this country by Mr. Stone, has been deposited by that gentleman in the gardens of the Zoological Society...those who are interested in natural history should not lose the opportunity of paying a visit...and of witnessing the extraordinary exhibition made by these males at this time of the year. On approaching the inclosure...a mournful note is heard, somewhat resembling a kind of moan, which Wilson, the American ornithologist, has called "touting, from its resemblance to the blowing of a conch or horn from a remote quarter."...When the male bird is excited the neck-plumes are completely reversed in their position, standing up over the head and joining together so as to form a sort of pointed crest. The play is also accompanied by a sort of knocking, which sounds like the stamping of the bird's feet, but is really produced internally. The large air-receptacles on each side of the neck are always inflated when the touting is made, and stand out like two orange-coloured drums, giving the bird a very singular appearance'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862. The Prairie Grouse in the Zoological Society's Gardens, Regent's Park, 1862. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OF THE WESTERN WING OF QUEEN'S COLLEGE, CORK, ON THURSDAY WEEK, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Destruction by fire of the western wing of Queen's College, Cork, on Thursday week, 1862. 'Fire-engines were soon on the spot; but the fire raged so furiously that there was no hope of saving the wing, and all that could be done was to prevent the flames communicating with the other parts of the building, which was fortunately done. This wing is a large cut-stone building, about 120ft. long by 25ft. or 30ft. wide, containing a range of lecture-rooms connected by a corridor, which runs the whole length. Under each of the doors of the lecture-rooms half-consumed matches were discovered, and the lower edges of the doors just over them were charred and burnt. This has given rise to a suspicion that the fire was the work of an incendiary, and the council are engaged in investigating the matter...Everything in the materia medica room...was destroyed...The pathological museum was destroyed...valuable scientific and other instruments were completely destroyed. Most of the contents of the laboratory were saved, and some of the contents of the engineering department, but very little more. The Queen's College is a handsome quadrangular structure in the Tudor Gothic style...Sir Thomas Deane was the architect, and Mr. John Butler, of Dublin, the builder'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862. Destruction by fire of the western wing of Queen's College, Cork, on Thursday week, 1862. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

THE DUKE OF LEINSTER PRESENTING PRIZES TO THE CHILDREN OF THE MASONIC FEMALE ORPHAN..., 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Duke of Leinster presenting prizes to the children of the Masonic Female Orphan School at Dublin, in the Great Hall of the ancient concert rooms, 1862. 'The room, which was beautifully decorated, was filled to overflowing by a brilliant assemblage of ladies and gentlemen...The Senior Grand Chaplain, the Rev. J. J. McSorley, then offered up a prayer, after which the children sang the Doxology and Sanctus...The honorary secretary, Brother P. D. La Touche, said that...it was the first occasion on which he had to announce that the income of the past year had been less than that of the preceding one. He regretted to say that a considerable portion of that diminution was in the contribution of small sums. He thought every one present would agree with him that the merits of the Masonic Female Orphan School entitled it to the support of every brother in the order, not only the £1 and £10 of the rich and affluent, but the shillings and the crowns of the poor and indigent...he trusted the deficiency of the past year would be more than counterbalanced by the receipts next year...his Grace the Grand Master distributed the prizes to the children, and at the conclusion of the proceedings they sang "The Orphan's Hymn".' From "Illustrated London News", 1862. The Duke of Leinster presenting prizes to the children of the Masonic Female Orphan..., 1862. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
