[graphic][ocr errors]

The Antiquary brings his treasures from remote ages and presents them to this; he
examines forgotten repositories, calls things back into existence, counteracts the effects
of time, collects the dust of departed matter, moulds it into its pristine state, exhibits
the figure to view, and imports it with a kind of immortality. WILLIAM HUTTON.
