The Testimonial presented to Dr. Hassall, on Thursday, 1856. Gift to British chemist and microscopist Arthur Hill Hassall, ...in recognition of the benefits which he has conferred on the community by his scientific labours in connection with the subject of adulteration...[Dr Hassall] cited some striking instances of the value of the microscope in the detection of adulteration...The Testimonial...Modelled by M. Freret...has been designed from Milton's "Paradise Lost." It represents the Angel Ithuriel, clad in armour, touching with his spear Satan, who, having assumed the shape of a toad, sat close to the ear of Eve, tempting her...The Spirit of Good, as represented by, the Angel, is employing Science, symbolized by the Spear, for the discovery of Truth, under the talismanic touch of which the fraud and falsehood of Adulteration, in the semblance of a Toad, spring to light'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
