" Dr. TotalsOn has abser'ved in his life of Akers side, that a physician is the mere play-thing of fortune: those who employ hits know nothing of Isis excellence, these who reject him, nothing at his deficiency. This observation will apply with nearly the same force to an eminent Sculptor : his art, if it be of the highest 'quality, i 3 01 too abstract a nature to adnsit of popularity. Among the mast eminent Sculptors of the present time, Cannva has the highest reputation ; Isis naine is soaii6cl with acclamation rind praise, from the one end of Europe to the other ; and England has 'willingly added to this general tribut e . B u t such is the caprice of tontine, that while every nobleman and every man of taste . joins in the mott unqualified praise of the modern Praxiteles, ri more etniilent sculptor of our own couistry, not long dead, was neglected while living, and is now for gotren.
