OF THE 
VIGNETTE. 
H E elegant vignette in the title-page^ was engraved 
from a medallion which the ingenious Mr. Wedge- 
wood caufed to be modelled from a fmall piece of clay 
brought from Sydney Cove. The clay proves to be of a 
fine texture, and will be found very ufeful for the manu- 
fa61:ory of earthern ware. The defign is allegorical ; it 
reprefents Hope encouraging Art and Labour, under the 
influence of Peace, to purfue the employments neceffary 
to give fecurity and happinefs to an infant fettlement. 
The following verfes upon the fame fubjedl, and in alluiion 
to the medallion, were written by the author of I'he Bo- 
tanic Garden, and will fpeak more powerfully for them- 
felves than any encomium we could beftow.
