-Dean of Westminster in oil, E, a present to the Bishop of Oxfird in 1861 as a marriage fee for the wedding of Richmond's daughter Mary Farrer
-The Revd St John Mildmay (omitted is recorded in the first column, no price given. It is unclear if this was written by Richmond or someone else)

Also recorded on p. 26 is a summary of the years accounts, noting that 30 pictures were completed, 2 pictures were engraved (this does not take account of those engraved at a later date) and that a total sum of £1632.6 was paid to Richmond.

The c. 1860 dating for this year has been derived from the 1860 date at the front of the volume; it is assumed that Richmond retrospectively added account details for the years 1853-1859 when he started using the volume. The c. 1868 dating has been derived from the date inserted next to the entry for the Napoleon 1st work.
