Nugent, his gentleman-in-wait- ing, from whom it came into the possession of his nephew, Mr. Wood. This original mask, from the Queen's cabinet, is now the property of The Digitized by Google EDMUND BURKE Digitized by Google Digitized by Google CURRAN 171 Players. It is very like the familiar portrait of Burke by Opie. George Combe had a mask of Curran in this country, of which mine, no doubt, is a replica, as it bears a strong resemblance to the estab- lished portraits of Curran. Its existence... does not appear to have been known to the sculptor of the medallion head of Curran on the monu- ment in St. Patrick's, Dublin, for that was avowedly taken from the portrait by Sir Thomas Lawrence. A short time before his death Curran wrote to a friend that his " entire life had been passed in a wretched futurity," but that happily he had found the remedy, and that was to " give over the folly of breathing at all." He ceased to breathe at all in Brompton, London, in the autumn of 1817 ; and his bones, now buried in Dublin, were laid for some years in a vault of Paddington church.
