Bust of Mr. Alison, by Park, 1850. Portrait bust of Scottish historian and lawyer Archibald Alison '...from a drawing by Mr. Frank Howard...executed by Mr. Patin Park in the year 1846, and presented in marble to Mr. Alison by a body of his private friends in Glasgow, as a testimonial of their friendship for him as an individual; of their esteem and respect for him in his public capacity, as one of their local judges; and of their admiration of his writings...If Mr. Alison be not the most successful of modern historians, we know not to whom in preference to him the palm can be conceded. His work is to be found in every library, and bids fair to rank hereafter as the most valuable historical production of the age in which he lived'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
