DAMER ; for while most of the modern Statuaries, Modellers strictly speaking rather than Sculptors, confine their own labours to shaping the ductile clay, and suffer what little fire they may have instilled in this pliant material, again to evaporate under the mechanical process of the journeyman, who thence copies the fragile form in the more stubborn marble, simply by rule and compass, the fair hand of a female artist remains as yet almost unrivalled in the arduous task of singly defying ever...y difficulty opposed by the hardest produce of the Parian quarry. 'Notwithstanding its modern costume, this portrait of LORD NELSON displays more of the true spirit of the antique, than most of the sculpture worthies that grace the circle formed round its base ; spite of all the advantage they enjoy of Roman togas, or bared bosoms. It possesses that breadth of style which, carefully discarding every incidental minutiae of the feature, unworthy of record, as unconnected with the 1 Gallery of Models.
