Joseph Temple, of Hull to whom U may here be mentioned, I have obligation in the matter of the blocks. ' THE CANONESS. Here we have a satirical glimpse into the devotion of a fair recluse ; but good or bad, praying or playinp^, Death comes to put out the candles at last. THE SOLDIER. Strong and brave the soldier, but his two-handed sword avails not before Death's dart, and Death's drum summons many to their last muster on the battle-field. THE DANCE OF DEATH. 3I own day. In 1825, W. Carlton Wri...ght published a series of fifty- two engravings of a Dance of Death, and here occurs an unpardonable blunder. The title-page sets forth the work as "The Dance of Death of the celebrated Hans Holbein, in a series of fifty-two Engravings on Wood by Mr. Bewick : with letter-press illustrations." The excellent letter-press, however, is copied wholesale from an edition of Hollar announcing that " the plates, which appear to have been but little used, have been till lately preserved in a noble family, and impressions from them are once more presented to the public, without the slightest alteration, while a foot-note explains that " in the present edition, however, it was found necessary that the plates should be retouched, etc.," whereas the " plates ".are " blocks " in " Bewick's" best manner.
