THE RIGHT REV. DR. CHARLES THOMAS LONGLEY, ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
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 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)
