* Vide “ Life of Wilkie,” vol. ii. p. 72. “ July 18, 1822. Having made a
sketch of the preaching of Knox before the Lords of the Congregation, which I
like much myself, and find liked by others, I mentioned to Sir Charles Long
and Sir T. Lawrence, my wish that his majesty would choose the subject for
his picture; but the king expressed to both of them a strong dislike to the sub-
ject and character, and his wish to have a humorous subject,” &c. The pic-
ture was begun for the Earl of Liverpool, and finished for Sir Robert Peel.
