The Vignette, in the Title-page, is a fragment of a Bas-relief, which, when perfect,
represented Apollo, with his left arm thrown over a lyre. The lyre is placed upon a
table, on which we likewise see a tripod, a raven, and four rolls of manuscripts. The
same interesting subject is represented in marble, on a Greek altar in the collection of
the British Museum. The latter, though it is in perfect preservation, is very inferior in
point of execution to the beautiful fragment here engraved.
