former embodied his remarks in two letters addressed to the Prefect of the
Lower Seine. A print of the figure in its then extremely mutilated state,
is prefixed; but its omission would have been no great drawback to the

Statue. Two other plates--lithographised--relating to explanations of the
pieces of the Statue, close this interesting performance.
