Perfection of a Form of

Actual obedience depends

National Iconium

The image, face
especially, to be coloured
from Nature
Peers to be dressed
in their Robes

The At the back
of each mans effigy
place his Mummy
The Mummies to be
all in the same costume -
either natd
with a only a cloth
round the middle
or in a winding -
-sheet.

- Thus the Effigies
will form one line
on show: the Mummies
another.

If the Mummy
was placed by the
side of the Effigy,
horror and disgust
might in some
persons pairs on the
enjoyment derived
from the gratification
of curiosity.

By putting them in
different rows (inclosed
in cases) spectators
would take their choice.
For the sake of confrontation
the Mummy
in its case might
be made to swivel
round to a line with
the Effigy in our vision.

It would be more
comfortable to the
magnitude and
in the feeings of a
man to think of inhabiting
a magnificent
mansion of
this sort after death,
and in such company,
then to be
a prey to vermin
and putrefaction in
a vault or a
grave.

That the whole
coup d'oeil might
be the more striking
the Effigies might
be ranged in concentric
circles rising one
above another, but
not so close as to
exclude near approach

The Effigies of the
King - one to be kept
with the Iconium of the Royal Family,
the other with
the Iconium of the
Peerage.

Mould the Effigy
of the Peer be deposited
only in the
Chamber of the King
in whose reign he
took his seat, or in
that of every King
under whose reign he
sat?

the same dimension,
or larger or less according
to the numersousness
of the family.
