Text Appearing Before Image:
antown, one of the fewdescendants of the Logan family. On one sideare the incised words, we must —(scil dial, />.,die-all). This clumsy joke is common on Englishdials. It appears under a mural sun-dial in theengraving of Hogarths picture of Chairing theMember. The painting had the fine motto, Pulviset umbra sumus — We are dust and shadows; wellsuited to the skull and cross-bones accompanying it.But the engraver evidently thought himself a betterhumorist than the painter, and replaced the Latinmotto with WE MUST—. The joke is older thanHogarth. The Horologiographia Optica by oneMorgan, published in 1652, ends with it. On achurch dial is this verse : — lifes but a shadow, mans but DUST;THIS DIALL SAYS DY ALL WE MUST. There is a very quaint variant of this motto on afarm-house dial at Millrigy, near Penroth, in theform of a dialogue between the Sun-dial and thePasser-by : — Diall. STAIE PASSINGER. TELL ME MY NAME,THY NATURE. Pass. THY NAME IS DIE ALL. I AM A MORTALLCREATURE.

Sun-dial at Ivy Lodge, Germantown, Pennsylvania; Seat ofHorace Jay Smith, Esq. Sun-dial Mottoes 271 Diall. SINCE MY NAME AND THY NATURE SOE AGREE,THINK ON THYSELFWHEN THOU LOOKEST UPON ME. Another beautiful dial, with musing figure point-ing to the dial-face, is at Ivy Lodge, the home ofHorace J. Smith, Esq., Germantown, Pennsylvania.It is shown facing page 270. On French dials there is a jocose motto which isnot uncommon. A cock is painted on the dial-faceand the words, Je chanterai quand tu sonneras; or,Lorsque tu sonneras je chante. This is, of course,the challenge of the silent cock to the silent dial. At Linburn, Midlothian, Scotland, Ebenezer Er-skine Scott, Esq., erected two very fine modern dials.One, shown facing page 172, is an obelisk-shapeddial of good proportions. The other, facing page274, is a facet-headed dial of great beauty. Bothare set on octagonal raised steps. The latter dialis nine feet in height, and was designed by ThomasRoss, Esq., F.S.A. On the upper step is
