_Ingenium cui fit, cui mens divinior, atque os Magna sonaturum, des nominis hujus honorem._

HORAT.

Creative Genius; and the glow divine, That warms and melts the enthusiastic soul; A pomp and prodigality of phrase: These form the poet, and these shine in thee!

“This is a new and excellent method of delineating Characters, and saying more in the compass of a Shilling, than can generally be conveyed by _mere words_ in a whole Sheet! How the present House of Peers will approve of these new Armorial Bearings, which are drawn in the true HOGARTHIAN Stile, with great Humour, and no small degree of Satire, is not for us to determine; we must however acknowledge, in Justice to the Author, the Examination of these whimsical Arms has afforded us great Entertainment.”
