Présentation de l'éditeur
Movemur enim nescio quo pacto locis ipsis, in quibus eorum, quos di ligimus, aut admiramur, adsunt vestigia studioseque eorum etiam SEPULCRA contemplor. Crc. DE LEG. II. 2. For we arc strangely affected, even by the places wherein arc the foot steps of those whom we love, or admire and their very SEPULCHRES I contemplate with emotion. THE occurrence in which the following collection of jeuxd}esprit had its origin, although perhaps not unknown to some of our readers, may to others stand in need of explanation. Having been at first an instance of very curious success in one of the sports of the field, it became much more remarkable when embodied in one of the most graceful triumphs of modern sculpture; and when celebrated, under that doubly-pleasing aspect, by the pens of many eminent scholars. The subject which could win from the chisel of Chantrey its best exertions in a labour of beauty and love, and then receive from a Wrangham, aM altby, aS elwyn, aT enterden, a Williams, an A lderson, a Wilberforce, aS cott, and a Wellesley, the tribute of their classical homage, is one which Fame would not willingly let die.
