London, June 19. The device of Admiral Tyrrel's monument,
executed by Mr. Read, in St. Martin's-Lane, [(]successor to
the late ingenious Mr. Roubiliac) is taken from that
expression in the burial service, "and the sea shall render
up their dead." The Admiral is represented rising into the
clouds from the sea, surrounded with angels, one of whom is
sounding the last trump, while a second reaches out his hand
to assist him in his flight.
. . . The figure of Hope is greatly admired, but the critics
in sculpture say the whole is too crouded to be easily
distinguished but by the eye of an artist: one satisfaction
remains, that it is the work of an Englishman.
