The book began life as an Oxford thesis, and retains a few traces of its origin: It could have been more thoroughly reconceived for a wider public, with a brief introduction on Fuseli, describing the whole story of the Milton Gallery, the early rivalry between publishers to get hold of it, its financial failure and the results. So we learn nothing further about them. We do, on the other hand learn much fascinating information about the exhibitions from which the gallery emerged, and how they were reviewed at the time.

And we are treated to many highly detailed discussions of the theory of how to set stories or events before the eye of a spectator who may or may not have read the original book. The book does not signal loudly enough that at least two of the paintings have been rediscovered only recently. It is reproduced in exciting colour in the Tate catalogue, but in sombre black and white here, and too dark.

The first chapter of the book assesses the impact of exhibitions on the reading public. When he projected the same scene for the gallery, he was nonetheless going to give it the elaborate title Figures from a simile in allusion to the contracted form of the Spirits assembled in the new raised Hell of Pandaemonium.

That would certainly have anchored the picture to the text, almost as if he was afraid to let it fly off on its own. But Fuseli reverses the order of centrality. The hell-hounds are barely visible, like the Night-Hag, in the background.

At the centre is a naked child on a table and the Lapland witch bends over it, looking backward as if checking to see if she can go ahead with her meal. One can just make out the two large hands bottom right, and the weapon they hold, a sharp blade that will presumably be used on the child at any moment. The weapon is the one Satan brandished against Death, and the Lapland orgies picture is actually a witches Sabbath.

We are still part of the Satan and Sin sequence, and therefore still in the world of parody.
