'Portrait of S. C.; aged 34.
The expression of this young man's countenance denotes silliness he was very docile, and willing to do what he was desired, but he had an unfortunate propensity to a solitary vice.
His head appeared to be considerably less than the usual standard. He lately died of consumption, having previously fallen out of a window and broken his thigh-bone.' |
