Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fetish Worship in the Fine Arts
And accomplished. He built the Granville Hotel, or rather a series of small pokey adjoining dwelling-houses, that were sub sequently pinned together, ornamented with a few atrocious lions' heads and dubbed the Granville Hotel. This was presumably in honour of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, Lord Granville, with whose crest or coat of arms the heraldic lions probably have something to do. Those who are in the habit of drawing fanciful deductions from Darwin's writings, might almost go so far as to pretend that the peculiar construe tion of Lord Granville's features may have some connection with those wide-mouthed lions. But that is neither here nor there.
