Title	Every Body out of Town : Plate 1st
Date	14 Feb 1800
Description	A dishevelled translator talks to a stout publisher. The translator, on the left, is tall and shabbily dressed, wearing an ill-fitting tie-wig. In his pocket he has scrolls of paper marked 'adventure' and 'poems', and in his he hand he holds a manuscript entitled 'HORACE Book'. He addresses the publisher: "This - my dear sir is the best part of the Translation - I'll read it to you." The publisher, a short, stout, well-dressed man wearing glasses, has his hands in his pockets, and replies: "It wont do I tell you - Every Body is out of Town - besides the weather is too hot for long Translations - nothing will go down but light summer reading - such as neat cool poems and light refreshing Novels." Available on CD 160.
