Note 63 — A CHAPTER ON English Engraving. By WILLIAM WALKER.

Robert Alan Mowbray Stevenson translation

Woollett was buried in Old St. Pancras Churchyard; on a plain tombstone which marks the spot were found one day written in pencil the two lines—

"Here Woollett rests, expecting to be sav'd He graved well, but is not well engrav'd."

Shortly afterwards a subscription was raised, to which Benjamin West and John Boydell contributed, for the purpose of erecting the above-mentioned tablet which now stands in the West Cloister.
