NOTES.

" " 800. Charlemagne crowned.
" " 1041. Vow of the Count of Aversa (Page 80).
" " 1066. The Conqueror crowned.

2. For conclusion of the whole matter two pictures were shown and commented on--the two most perfect pictures in the world.
(1) A small piece from Tintoret's Paradiso in the Ducal Palace, representing the group of St. Ambrose, St. Jerome, St. Gregory, St.
Augustine, and behind St. Augustine his mother watching him, her chief joy even in Paradise.
(2) The Arundel Society's reproduction of the Altar-piece by Giorgione in his native hamlet of Castel Franco. The Arundel Society has done more for us than we have any notion of.
