his retiring to private lire in the tran

It is stiid the artist has exercised
his own taste entirely in the position
and costume of the statue. It Wa*
represented to liim that it was intend
ed to be placed in tlje Mail of the
Legislature of North ^arolina^ the
dimentions of which were sent*

that this is the fellow Implicated in
