" PIGTAIL WYATT" is the name bestowed by the
Times on the Sculptor of the statue of George 111., at Cocks Put-street.
We take but little interest in the controversy carrying on with regard
to this artist's merits, for disputes on taste must be endless ; yet we
cmnot avoid saying that nicknames are poor arguments. In this
ease
Mr. Wyatt is censured because he did not make George 111. In
"One of the truest hits at this ridiculous statue," says the Spectator, "Is
the following impromi,tu ON first seeing it, which appeared in the Times—
" I roust own it appears but a poor sort of thing,
All horse-tail and pig-tail, and nothing of King..
Those who recollect Geo. lll.Aowever, say that his pigtail was the most
kingly part of hint, and that the sculptor showed his taste by nuking
the finest feature in the King the most prominent one in the statue.
We do not comprehend the justice of censuring Mr. Wyatt because
Geo. 111, was not a fine man; and however angry the Tories ought to
be at Mr. Wyatt's correctness, the Radicals should be thankthl to him
l‘ir doing justice, and transmitting to posterity a correct resemblance of
6eo. 111., though it be all pigtail and nothing of King,
