Excerpt from Analytical Catalogue of a Series of Cabinet Pictures, Illustrating the Plays of Shakespeare: Painted by Henry Singleton, With a Memoir and Introduction The unique collection analysed in the following pages, stands almost alone amongst the works of British artists, and was with Singleton a labour of love. The nearest approach to it which we have, is Smirke's illustration of Don Quixote; but the subject, though exquisitely handled by that artist, did not afford the wide and diversified range furnished by the works of one of whom it can be truly said, age cannot wither, nor custom stale his infinite Smirke's collection has been dispersed amongst various purchasers. It is to be hoped, that whoever becomes the possessor of that to which Singleton devoted sp much of the labour we delight in, which physics pain, will be careful to preserve it in its integrity. It would be gothic in the last degree, and greatly detract from the value of the collection, to deprive it of even the least attractive of the compartments which compose it.
