FRAGMENT
,OF A
SECOND REPLY OF MENGS
TO
MONSIGNOR FABRONs
UPON THE
N I O B E.
SECOND NOTE OF THE EDITOR
The soregoing was the letter which Mengs sent to Monsignor
Fabroni. I have found besides among the papers of our Philoso-
phical Painter, a sragment of another reply which he thought to
have given him more fully; and because this fragment contains
also some useful information, I wish not to deprive the
public of it, esteeming as precious every production of that famous
man.
