I have been told that the original picture was some years since found at an inn in Gloucestershire, and is now in the possession of J. Calverley, Esq., of Leeds, in Yorkshire.


THE SLEEPING CONGREGATION.

"Beneath this antique roof, this hallow'd shade,

Where wearied rustics holy Sabbath keep,

Compos'd as if on downy pillows laid,

The sons and daughters of the hamlet sleep."
