DR . OLIVER ' S PORTRAIT . SIR AND BROTHER , —It is with regret I have heard of complaints of the portrait of the Rev . Dr . Oliver , executed by me for the Freemasons ' Quarterly Review , and , I am bound to say , with some justness ; trusting that by this candid acknowledgment I shall be exonerated from blame , after the statement I am about to make . Having executed a miniature of the Rev . Dr . Oliverwhich was declared by competent
, judges to be a faithful likeness , and being anxious to send forth to the Masonic world a print which should convey a characteristic portrait , of one who has done so much for the cause of Masonry , I took some pains to execute the plate myself , which I flatter myself the proof prints will justify ; but , unfortunately , through the neglect of the printer , and the severity of the frost at the time of printing , the portrait was spoiled ; the consequence was , a great number of the plates were obliged to be
supplied in the imperfect state complained of ; and it being imperative to deliver the Review by a certain day , there was no time for executing another plate . I shall therefore execute another portrait immediately , and supply it to those who may wish to have a faithful likeness , at the lowest possible price—say 6 d . each , and for proofs on India paper Is . Gd . I remaindear Sir and Brother
, , Yours very truly , 40 , Sidmouth Street , Regent Square , JOHN HARRIS . 25 th January , 1841 . [ We feel obliged to Br . Harris for his ingenuous admission . Our subscribers will probably avail themselves of his proposition . —ED . F . Q . R . ]
