Sperry soon proved that he was an
able commander as we'll as a faithful
second-in-command. Evans and Sper-
ry both spent the best part of their
lives in the service of the United
States.
Admiral Evans was born in 1S46 and
entered the navy in 1860. Admiral
Sperry was born in Brooklyn in 184T
and entered the naval academy two
years after Admiral Evans. Sperry

ond series called Doctor Syntax's
Tour in Search of Consolation" This
was in 1920 and the following year
came Doctor Syntax's laughable 'tour
in search of wife," which undoubted-
ly contained some of Rowlandson's
best designs.
It is said that Combe used to pin
up the various sketches against a
screen Of his apartment in the Kings
Bench and write his verses as the
painter wanted them. He was a most
prolific writer and between the years
1773 and 1923 he wrote and edited
upwards OF 100 books, contributed to a
score of journals and furnished, ac-
cording to his own notebook, fully
1000 columns of matter to the maya
zines and newspapers.
It happened that about the time of
the vogue of Doctor Syntax, Clews
was making his lustrous, dark-blue
ware for the American market and he
Immediately seized the opportunity to
add to his fame by reproducing the
various Syntax designs with an accu.

in the larger scope afforded by plat
ter. Then follows a list of calamities
which befell the unfortunate traveller
in rapid succession. First he loses his
way and then he is stopped by high
waymen and finally bound by them
to tree. Here he remains in dur
ance for a while, until liberated by
two buxom matrons, who are seen on
their trotting palfreys riding to his
rescue.
Doctor Syntax setting out in search
of wife is the beginning of one set
of drawings. Others of much attrac-
tion are the garden trio, the harvest
home, noble hunting party, Doctor
Syntax with blue stocking beauty,
Doctor Syntax star-gazing and many
more.
The Syntax dishes are occasionally
seen in colors, as in the case of the
specimen in the Morse collection,
which illustrates Doctor Syntax's
Travels. These are probably of .
later period than the Clews china.
