Extract

The figures, sculptured in full relief, and here represented by the four drawings in Plate XXIV., are idols brought from India in the year 1800, by Francis Simpson, Esq., which I had the honour of presenting to the Society at his request.

According to information with which I have been favoured by gentlemen conversant with the literature of India, these idols are Cali, Suria and Buda.
