paved ait the earliest practicable mo-
ment the said Princess street, between

since it would ruin him as an artist. On
reaching home, Flaxman sat down by his
wife, took her hand in his and said:

How so, John?" said She How did it

Then he told her of what Sir Joshua had

great artist he must study the work of
Michael Angelo and the other great mas.

clared that great he should become, and
that no one should say "Ann Denman ruin

Their means were small, but by work and
economy on the part of his wife Flaxman
at the end of five years was able to go to
Rome, where he studied for seven years.
