The man stands in the top box (marked 3 in the illustration), in an attitude of making an address ; his right hand

extended, his left held in a curve, over which drapery is hung loosely. On the table at the left (2) a female figure sits, representing history, writing on a flat table at his right. In the lower table (1) a tall figure stands at a high cross, with her left arm behind it, and her right hand on the crossbar. At the other end of the long table (5) the shorter of the ladies is scattering flowers from a basket which she holds in her left hand. On the lower box in front (6) a lady bends over a child, who nestles against her side.

The Angel Of Sleep

The tall statue lady stands on the high box, which is pushed backward to allow a second lady to sit at the left end of it, on the upper table, holding the child in her arm, as if asleep. The angel at the top is provided with wings, made by sewing the sheet to her extended arms, which are curved, the right held higher than the left.

Nydia

The blind girl of Pompeii leans forward, grasping her staff with the left hand, while the right is held near the ear, in a listening attitude. This may be copied from Rogers's celebrated statue.

The Christian Graces

The taller lady stands on the high box in the centre; an other leans her head upon her side, standing on the table at her right; while the shorter one kneels on the left side, the left hand of the centre figure resting on her left shoulder. This group has the appearance of being cut from one block, as the ladies stand very close together.

Caractacus

The man statue stands with extended hands, which are fastened together with a long chain ; and he afterward may be shown in a kneeling position. In the first position he has a very proud expression ; and in the second he must look humble and depressed, with bowed head.

Justice, Mercy, And Peace

The tall lady stands on the high box, holding in her left hand a pair of scales, and leaning with her right hand on a sword. Mercy lies at her feet, and with an olive-branch in her right hand extended. Peace stands at the left, on the lower table.

Maud Muller

The shorter lady stands alone, leaning on a tall rake with both hands, looking modestly down, and wearing a broad sun-hat covered with white cloth. The rake is a common garden-rake, also covered with white cloth. A short kilted skirt of white cotton, reaching to the ankles, will modernize the suit from the antique drapery described above, over which it may be worn.

These examples will doubtless suggest numberless single, double, and larger groups, which may be copied from the art journals and photographs.
