Note 10 — BRAMSTON'S "MAN OF TASTE"

Reading edition

See post, "M. Ronquet on the Arts," p. 51. [11] "Sir Cloudesly Shovel's Monument has very often given me great Offence: Instead of the brave rough English Admiral, which was the distinguishing Character of that plain, gallant Man, he is represented on his Tomb [in Westminster Abbey] by the Figure of a Beau, dressed in a long Perriwig, and reposing himself upon Velvet Cushions under a Canopy of State" (Spectator, March 30, 1711).
