Simms' Gallery Figures and Commentary:

1. Charlemagne, though unable to to write his own name, promoted schools, art, civilization, and was the most powerful and enterprising monarch of his day.
2. James Boswell, the celebrated biographer of Dr, Samuel Johnson. He resembled Johnson as a fly does an elephant, while his selfassurance and impudence has rarely been equalled.
3. Cinghalese, a gentleman from the mountains of Ceylon.
4. John Locke, a distinguished philosopher.
5. Tasmanian, an aboriginee of Tasmania. His head does not, while his face does, manifest his cruel and cannibal habits.
6. Lord Byron, a poet of marvellous genius.
7. Cassius, a famous Roman general, described in Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar."
8. Rev. Rowland Hill, an English clergyman.
9. Lavater, an eloguent Swiss preacher, poet, and physiognomist.
10. Paul I, Emperor of Russia, as his feeble face indicates, he was one of the weakest rulers in Europe.
