Presentation of the Jubilee Personal Testimonial to Cardinal Manning, 1890. 'The Most Rev. (Roman Catholic) Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, Dr. Henry Edward Manning, who..has been forty-nine years a priest of that Church, was presented with a personal testimonial to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of his consecration to the Archbishopric. The gift took the form of an album, beautifully illuminated, and a cheque for £7500; but Cardinal Manning has directed the money to be bestowed in founding a scholarship for the education of a priest in his diocese; in contributing to the repair and ornament of the ancient church of St. Gregory at Rome; in paying off the building debt of two schools and a mission-house in London; in providing a bed in the accident ward of the London Hospital; and the residue to be given to St. Edmund's College at Canterbury. The centre mount of the album, handsomely bound in red Morocco [leather] ...is in the form of a cross, upon which are enamelled the armorial bearings and insignia of the Cardinal, set with four crystals. The first page is richly illuminated with allegorical and conventional designs; on each page are photographs of pictures by the Old Masters, appropriate to events in the life of his Eminence'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
