Chantrey began his career by being a carver in wood. The ornaments on that mahogany sideboard, and on that stand in Mr. Rogers's diningroom were carved by him. Subsequently, when a gentleman informed Mr. Rogers that the truth of this last statement had been questioned, he entered into the following particulars: Chantrey said to me one day, "Do you...
