If you had taken a quarter of the time to draw what they might be, that you have employed to describe what they must not be, I might possibly have had some begun by this time. Would not one think that it was I who make charming drawings and designs and not you? I shall have very little satisfaction in them, if I am to invent them! ..."Formerly mounted on leaf 44 in an album assembled by Horace Walpole: Drawings and designs by Richd. Bentley ...
