Minor Queries.
_Chantrey's Sleeping Children in Lichfield Cathedral._--In reference to a
claim recently put forth on behalf of an individual to the merit of having
designed and executed this celebrated monument, Mr. Peter Cunningham says
(_Literary Gazette_, June 5.),--"The merit of the composition belongs to
Chantrey and Stothard." As a regular reader of the "NOTES AND QUERIES," I
shall feel obliged to Mr. Cunningham (whose name I am always glad to see as
a correspondent) if he will be kind enough to inform me on what evidence he
founds the title of Mr. Stothard to a share of the merit of a piece of
sculpture, which is so generally attributed to the genius of Chantrey?
