    And now to the patient reader of my portion of ' The Repository' I say farewell as regards this subject , though I fear it is probable that , in essaying any other , I shall be much like the monographic artist , who , when at length persuaded to attempt painting an angel , told his employer he might depend upon it that it would be very like a red lion .
