The image contains the following text:
with his worthy brother artist, Mr. Thomas Smytb, I was
indebted for the original design,) has, with a kindness I
can better appreciate than acknowledge, anastaticized the
humorous drawing of the ape and the goat, (page 21,)
with which their joint talents enriched my Lecture. Mr.
Russel has also very skilfully introduced into the title
page, reduced copies of the three views of the Greek head
of Jupiter, referred to at page 14.
Since its delivery, many notes have been added to the
Lecture, which it is hoped will afford both amusement and
information. It now only remains for me to make my bow,
wish my "fratres barbali" long life to their Beards, and
shout
