TO THE PUBLIC

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,—Having witnessed the delinea-
tions in Poses Plastiques of Professors Keller and Tumour,
while admitting the beauty and classicality of their produc-
tions, I felt convinced that such personifications might be suc-
cessfully applied to nobler and more instructive purposes, viz.,
to the illustration of Poetical and Historical Literature. To
that end I prepared the subjects placed before you in these
Lectures, which have been honoured by public approbation in
London, and are now submitted to provincial patronage and
criticism. In placing the poor productions of my humble pen
by the side of costly specimens of elevated education, and in-
spirations of lofty genius, I feel that I am courting comparisons
which must be disadvantageous to myself. I am content, how-
ever, to submit to the rod of criticism, pickled in the Attic salt
(or brine) of illustrious contemporaries. In reference to the
models themselves, great care has been taken in their selection ;
they are all from the artist's studio :
Figures in whom we fairly trace
Development of every grace ;
Beauteous when chiselled out by Art,
But, warmly breathing, they impart
(As beings of divine creation,)

Hoping that this novel attempt to unite in one entertainment
Poetry, Sculpture, Painting, and Music, may induce a dignified
competition of value to society, I have the honour to he, Ladies
and Gentlemen, your very humble and obedient servant,
RENTON NICHOLSON.
