In Edinburgh's stately Square the Charles II statue in lead draws satire from Boswell and others. A poem mocks the Lord Provost for painting it white and questions replacing it with Ramsay or a better artist. The verses recall Allan Ramsay as a painter and note his Essay on the English Constitution.
