 H E Gems, of which this collection contains imprcfllons, 
 were executed chiefly at Rome, whither Mr. Marchant had 
 gone to prepare himfelf for engaging in the moft diftinguifhed 
 province of the art he profefled; and he was induced to re^ 
 main there fixteen years, as well on account of the opportuni- 
 ties it afforded for profecuting his ftudies, as of the patronage 
 and encouragement which he there received, both from his 
 countrymen and foreigners. 
 
 It was his wifh, by a diligent and accurate examination of 
 the antique, to form himfelf, if pofiible, upon thofe principles 
 of art, which enabled the ancients, in every branch of fculp- 
 ture, to cany their works to a degree of perfection which has 
 not been attained in modern times. By a deep and fcientific 
 knowledge of nature, they came to felecl: the beauties of many 
 individual forms, and to combine them into one, arranging 
 them with fuch fymmetry and order, as to exhibit not an 
 aflemblage of detached parts, but fuch a complete and uniform

 whole, as united their ideas of beauty and grace, and fome- 
 times of fublimity : thus we fee prefented, in the moft perfect 
 of their works, what is neither fo remote from ordinary na- 
 ture as to appear incredible, nor fo exactly copying and refem- 
 bling it, as not to have in it fomething fuperior and more 
 noble. 
 
 Since the revival of the arts, engraving on hard ftones has 
 been cultivated, at different periods, with confiderable fuccefs, 
 and principally in Italy; where genius, never wanting examples, 
 has frequently found great and liberal patrons to encourage it : 
 but, in England, it has made lefs progrefs than moft of the 
 other arts ; not indeed, fo much from want of encouragement 
 and employment, as from having been principally applied to 
 the purpofes of Heraldry, where the devices and forms are 
 generally as contrary to nature and beauty as the manner of 
 treating them is ungraceful, but of which the profits are 
 confiderable and certain. 
 
 How far the author of the works now offered to the public 
 has fucceeded in his endeavours, the judicious and candid en- 
 couragers of the prefent undertaking muft decide : — He pre- 
 fumes only to fay for himfelf, that he is the firft Englifhman 
 who has examined thofe ineftimable remains of ancient art on 
 the fpot, where alone they can be ftudied to advantage, with a 
 view of extending this particular branch of fculpture, and 
 of purfuing it upon thofe principles before referred to, which 
 run through all the beft works of the ancients, and which an 
 accurate obferver may difcovcr as much in the fmallcft of their 
 intaglios, as in their CoIoHa! ftatues.

 One of his works, the portrait of the reigning Pope, from 
 life, he had the honor to place in the Cabinet of Gems belong- 
 ing to the Vatican ; — that, and the portrait of the Emprefs of 
 Ruffia, engraved for the King of Poland, from an original 
 picture fent from Warfaw for the purpofe, are, of the many 
 he has executed, the only two which he has ventured to admit 
 into the prefent collection. — To have introduced them all 
 would have enlarged it too much ; and to have felected fuch 
 as, from accidental circumftances, might appear to be beft en- 
 graved, or fuch as are more interefting by reprefenting diftin- 
 guifhed characters, might have feemed difrefpectful to the reft. 
 
 The copies from the antique are rendered with all the fide- 
 lity he is capable of beftowing upon them ; and a particular 
 attention has been fhewn to preferve, as much as pofiible, the 
 diftinguiihing character and ftyle of execution which pervade 
 the originals. The very confiderable difcoveries which were 
 made during his actual refidence at Rome, and the tafte of the 
 prefent Pope, as well as his attention to add every thing which 
 is of diftinguiflied merit to the Mufeum of the Vatican, have 
 enabled the fculptor to enrich his collection with many beauti- 
 ful fubjefts, of which there have hitherto appeared fcarcely 
 any copies in this country ; and to give the portraits of feveral 
 great and eminent perfons of antiquity, whofe characters are 
 peculiarly interefting from their connection with the hiftory, 
 learning, or philofophy of ancient times, and whofe refem- 
 blances were, before, either totally unknown, or miitaken.

 of Terra Cotta, as mentioned by Winkclmann, Storia delk 
 Arti del Difcgno prcjj'o gli Anticbi, tomo ii. p. 255, Italian 
 edition by Carlo Fea. The fculpture appears, by the ftyle, to 
 be much anterior to that of the fmall bronze head of De- 
 mofthenes, found at Herculaneum, now in the Mufeum at Por- 
 tici, near Naples, which has the name on the pedeftal. It 
 muft be remarked, that before this difcovery, the heads of De- 
 mofthenes had always been mi (taken for thofe of Pythagoras ; 
 and the head, before generally called Demofthenes, and now 
 Solon, has the name of Solon inferibed upon its pedeftal.

 SARDONYX. INTAGLIO. Rt. Hon. Sir R. WORSLEY, Bt. 
 
 From a Terme found in the year 1780, in the Oliveto del

 alfo found another head of Pericles, now in the collection of 
 Charles Townley, Efq. and a Terme without a head, with the
 
 ( 2 7 ) 
 
 name of Phidias inferibed upon it. Pericles, from the peculiar 
 form of his head, was called by the Attic Poets Schinocephalus,* 
 and his ftatues, probably for this reafon, were almoft allgaleated. 
 See Plutarch's Life of Pericles, London edition, by Bryan, p. 339. 
 The fculpture in this Terme appears to correfpond wit!) 
 the character given by Plutarch, as it difcovers the hair through 
 the eye-hole of the helmet, which carries the head higher 
 than what is generally feen in nature. This has been care- 
 fully copied in the Intaglio.

 difcovery : they are engraved in the fame characters on the 
 exergue of the gem. Both thefe Termes are in the Mufeum 
 Pio-Clementinum.
