all that.
The four satire. by Guy Pene du

Sculpture from "A historical point OF

Of Washington he said;
IL had always thought that Houdon
was selected TO make the portrait
statue of Washington on accoun of
the general desire thai this important
statue should be by the hest sculptor
of the time. and that Houdon was con-
sidered as such.
1T has been IA disasreeable surprise
to learn that Canova was strongly pre-
ferred and that Houdon was hose
only a. second best and because Ca
nova could not be induced to leave
Rome. II is also unpleasant TO know
that Houdon's beautiful works were
not fully understood or admired in
America until long afterward.
