Description
Excerpt from The History of the Mastiff, Gathered From Sculpture, Pottery, Carving, Paintings, and Engravings: Also From Various Authors, With Remarks on the Same
Poets and Painters are often the unintentional historians of their age and the following pages will disclose that they have handed down to us much history of the mastiff. The great Poet of the age, our Visionary Laureate has been very silent about the English mastiff. To me this is a little grief as with his powers of weaving semi-historical semi-mystical romances, he could compose a poem on the breed that would eclipse what Gay, Shakespeare and even Virgil have left us.
