CROSBY HALL.

Miss MARIA HACKETT'S administration (1832- 1842) is one of the most interesting episodes in the later history of this Hall. Her zeal for its preservation and interest in its history were unbounded, and led to many new identifications of past ownership or associa- tion with celebrities.

The well-known Restoration circulars have historical notes, probably from her pen, that were not always sufficiently authenticated ; but the best evidence of her enthusiasm is the intended competition to be held in 1838, when

" premiums to the amount of one hundred guineas were to be awarded for the best graphical and antiquarian illustrations of the Priory Church of St. Helen, Gresham College, and Crosby Hall."

Before the publication of the particulars there are several different issues of the four- page quarto circular she prepared many lists of the subjects for the intended papers or drawings.
