THE GRAND EXHIBITION OF sTATUARY,

tious Plate in group of Twenty-three Figures the
Size Of Life splendidly dressed in apPropriat cos
tune, will open at the


APOLLO HALL, W.aSHLNGTO.A, THURSDAY,
a DECEMBER l4tk, l643. 81.


This splendid Exhibition is the production Of a
celebrated Female Artist, and is intended to repre-
sent that moment in the trial of our Saviour, when
Caiaphas says to him, IL adjure thee by the living
God that thou tell us whether thou be Christ, the
Son Of God" Jesus answers, /" Thou hast said,
nevertheless say unto you, hereafter shall ye see
the Son of man sitting the right hand of power,
and coming in the clouds of Heaven!" This was
equivalent 10 calling himself the Son Of God which
of course was considered by the High Priest as BIAS
phemy; and he Immediately raised his hands in af-
fected horror, and says, He hath spoken blasphemy
what further need have of witnesses Behold now
yc have heard his bIasphen.y!"


The scene illustrates the appear ance OF the Roman
Court under Pontus Plate, and the Jewish Court,
under Caiaphas the High Priest-and the Grouping,
Costume and the Decorations Of the figures, are all
in strict acs sordance with ancient history.


This piece Of Stauary is universally considered a
magnificent Work Of Art: beautiful and interesting
spectacle, and an impressive and valuable commen-
tary on the passage Of Holy Writ to which it refers.
