Extract

The drawing that accompanies this was purchased by me at the late Dr. Lort's sale, and represents a bas releif on white marble, found by Mr. Milles, a builder, among the ruins of a house at Islington. The date of this discovery is not mentioned, nor when it was fixed up in the front of a warehouse in High Timber-street, near Labour-in-vain-hill. But it must have been at least twenty years ago, as I recollect to have heard of it from our late treasurer Mr. Colebrook, who died 1775. I sought for it without success, so long ago, and having repeated my inquiries after it since I became possesed of the drawing, I had the mortification to find that the house wherein it was fixed had been re-built, and no intelligence was to be obtained of the figure.
