Liiions by Du Maurier. In 1861 be\ x^Toduced anonymously, in col- >Yation with the Hon. Julian F^^jxe, " Tannhauser, or the Battle of I tilie Bards," his friend writing xin <ier the nom de plume of " Neville Tftxnple," himself under that of " E dward Trevor." Ten years later, in 1871, the Hon. Robert Lytton ^wnrote " Julian Fane, a Memoir," in 'wldch the friendship of the two was lovingly commemorated by the sur- vivor. Meanwhile, in the same year in which "Tannhauser" had ap- peared, Owen Meredith, as the fruit of his residence in Belgrade, pub- lished under the title of "Serbski Pesme," a collection of the National Songs of Servia. A prose romance followed in 1863, under the name of "The Ring of Amasis," purporting to be edited from the papers of a German physician. In 1867 there were published in two volumes, the " Poetical works of Owen Meredith," and in the following year, also in two volumes, there appeared, with a portrait of the author, his "Chro- nicles and Characters." This work was followed, in 1869, by "Orval, or the Fool of Time," a dramatic poem paraphrased from the Polish, being founded in fact upon the " in- fernal comedy" of Count N. A. Z. Krasinski, "Nie-boska Komedyja," the volume comprising among other imitations and paraphrases in verse several from the Greek, Latin, Ita- lian, and Danish literatures. In 1874, Lord Lytton published in two vols., his "Fables in Song," and also in two vols., the " Speeches of Edward Lord Lytton, with some of his Political Writings, hitherto un- published, and a Prefatory Memoir by his Son." The Earl of Lytton married, Oct. 4, 1864, Edith, second daughter of the Hon. Edward Vil- liers, and niece of the late Earl of Clarendon, and has issue two sons and three daughters. His eldest surviving son (bom 10 Aug., 1876) is, at Her Majesty's own instance, the godson of the Queen, and is in consequence named Victor Alex-

ander George Robert. Lady Lytton was included, on Jan. 1, 1878, in the select list of the recipients of the Or- der of the Imperii Crown of India.
