Scope and content
Claims that the statue 'when first executed by Roubiliac and before it left his Studio, had the lips closed'; this was first noted in the piece on Byron's Childe Harold in the Eclectic Review, whose editor Josiah Conder had married Roubiliac's niece [actually, his granddaughter]. 'It is likely that the story was traditional in the family, tho never heard of in this place'.
Signed 'F. T. Cambridge'.
