My first attempt was on 'Ben Block the Sailor' and I succeeded in blocking out my Ben in a style that proved I was no blockhead. Mr Hardy Sen. Carver who is still living materially assisted me in cutting of my heads. I worked away and in a short time I finished nine excellent figures which I named in the following order: - 'Ben Block' was my eldest born. Then followed 'The Grand Mogul Turk' 'The Indian Juggler' 'Morgiana the Musical Rope Dancer' 'Pantaloon and Pantalina' 'Scaramouch'' The Boy and the Butterfly' and lastly the figure that always must come last 'Death or the Skeleton!' whose astonishing convolutions evolutions dislocations and evaporations were witnessed by thousands with unmitigated pleasure". From T. Arthur's "The life of Billy Purvis : the extraordinary witty and comical showman; with many facts not before published" 1878."Now he felt that he had so many strings to his bow that it could not fail to hit some marks. He was a comic singer dancer conjuror Phantasmagoria Fantoccini exhibitor all of which he was well up in; and the public yielded their patronage willingly. His figures completed he prepared for the October Fair and he attended Houghton Feast next Sunderland Fair." Printed by R. Stobbs, Durham. c.1823. unknown
