Excerpt from The Civil Engineer and Architect's Journal, 1843, Vol. 6: Scientific and Railway Gazette

No. 8 is perhaps the least pleasing of the series. There is a total want of unity in the composition, which is merely a repetition of similar designs, and these not a little stiff and formal. There is like wise too great a weight, both of form and colour, toward the top but the scroll in the half pilaster is beautiful, and closely resembles that in N o. 4.

It will be unnecessary to dwell upon No. 9, since it is precisely the same in general character as No. 5, though varied in its details, in the disposition of the animals, and the mode of spreading the lighter ramifications at the top.

No. 10 bears nearly the same relation to No. 4, upon which we have already remarked at some length. It may be further observed in reference to Nos. 4 and 10, that folds of drapery are too broad and heavy to be successful in arabesque, its effect is seldom pleasing. I must also protest against the birds which crown this composition. Nature has provided a variety which makes it quite unnecessary to seek novelty by combining the neck of one species and the tail of another with imaginary wings. The first impression is that these birds are meant for swans; the second, and abiding one, that the artist did not know how to draw a swan - he has not mended them by dress ing them in trousers. The scroll in the half pilaster is composed in the same manner as in No. 5, but is better filled.
