Abstract
The article presents footnotes on several topics including the statued galleries, the cradle of the world, and fawns round the God. The art of painting in a statued gallery has appeared in the early state of all societies before the invention of the alphabet. The cradle of the world clarifies that the nations, which possess Europe and a part of Asia and of Africa, appear to have descended from one family. The idea of fawns round the God is copied from a painting of the descent of Orpheus.
