Text: A Friendly Visit to the Studio. / Visitor [I never heard that any of the Ancient Sculptors practiced / caricaturing. Indeed I think it is very Unclassical and Unpolite. / Answer [No nor I never heard that any of those Men were thrown into your / pestiferous Black Hole for nothing. Besides this is the third time I have been / attacked by your Bludgeon Men. Seven years since I received a Wound which laid / me useless for Four Months by a Being of the name of Gough while standing with / my family in the most Peaceable manner in a place where I had paid for Admission / to view the Ascent of Grahams Balloon. And now Sir do you call those things Classical / and Polite.
