The Virginia Gazette

We hear from England that the ingenious Mrs. Wright, whose surprising imitations of nature, in wax work, have been so much admired in America, by a diligent application and improvement in the same employment, has recommended herself to the general notice and encouragement of persons of the first distinction in England, who have honoured her with peculiar marks of their favour; and as several eminent Personages, and even his Majesty himself, have condescended to sit several times, for her to take their likeness, it is probable she will enrich her collection, and oblige her friends in America with a view of the most remarkable persons of the present age, among which will be the immortal, inimitable Garrick, whom she had began. She has already completed, and sent over to her house in this city, where they may be seen, the most striking likeness of the celebrated Dr. Benjamin Franklin, of Philadelphia, now in London, and of Mrs. Catherine Macaulay, so much admired for her great learning, fine writing, and amiable character.
