ABSTRACT

Leaving the Sepulchral Chamber, we enter the Egyptian Crypt, the ceiling of which is composed of massive blocks of stone, . supported by stone pillars. On the south side is a Sleeping Cupid, opposite to which are cork Models of the Temple of Fortuna Virilis at Rome, and of the Druidical remains at Stonehenge. In the centre is Britannia Triumphant, holding in her hand the trident of Neptune, and pointing to the Dying Patriot of Banks, l and the Rostral Monument of Flaxman, in honour of the services rendered to their country by Captains Riou and Moss. To the right of the Britannia is a Cast of the Infant Hercules; and in another part of the Crypt is a Cast of a Female Torso, sculptured with hieroglyphics.
