Lay Morals

CHAPTER III--BAGSTER'S 'PILGRIM'S PROGRESS'
6/41

'A Lamb for Supper' is the name of one of his designs, 'Their Glorious Entry' of another.

He has the same disregard for the ridiculous, and enjoys somewhat of the same privilege of style, so that we are pleased even when we laugh the most.

He is literal to the verge of folly.

If dust is to be raised from the unswept parlour, you may be sure it will 'fly abundantly' in the picture.

If Faithful is to lie 'as dead' before Moses, dead he shall lie with a warrant--dead and stiff like granite; nay (and here the artist must enhance upon the symbolism of the author), it is with the identical stone tables of the law that Moses fells the sinner.
