"Lettre sur les aveugles à l’usage de ceux qui voient" by Diderot, 1749.
"He was here at the Concert on Wednesday, & as a great Favor staid late on purpose to give us a Couple of Songs when most of the Company were gone. It is vastly agreable as well as Odd to hear him. His Skill is certainly very great, & his Songs are as much suited to his Expression in Singing as his Solos are to his Playing.
He is an Odd Creature, & the more I see him the more curious I am to know something about him. He is everything with everybody: he talks Ingeniously with Mr. Wray , Philosophy with Ld. Willoughby , & is gallant with Miss Yorke, Miss Carpenter & all the Young Ladies. …I can't but fancy he is a great Pretender in all kinds of Science, as well as that he really has acquired an uncommon Share in some. - Well! so much for Monsr. le Comte de St. Germain, whom neither you nor I have anything to do with…"
btw: My then interpretation of "An artist's studio" was wrong. Christina was referring to "G's" vision of "maiden Liberty" as it-and his then half known story- had evolved in England in her time.

Manufacturing patterns by innocent fiction authors!
The Manufacture of Mozart: an upcoming book by Robert Newman
English author shows Jesuit control of the arts dating back 400 years
By Greg Szymanski, JD
May 14, 2009
It’s hard for Americans to believe that the Jesuits and Vatican have had their control fingers on entertainment and education for at least four centuries, perhaps more.
But if you are doubtful, take the time to look at how they even controlled and manufactured the most famous composer of all time, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Be assured if they could control and manufacture Mozart, they can do the same to the likes of Bono, Madonna, Tom Hanks and Ron Howard.
To prove this point English author Robert Newman has dedicated 15 years of his life uncovering how the Vatican and Jesuits perpetrated the Mozart fraud.http://www.arcticbeacon.com/greg/?p=1156
