'Anecdotes of the life of Canova', The annual register, or a view of the history ... of the year, 1825, volume 67, pp. 189-212, p. 198 ("This was Giambattista Falier, to whom is dedicated the print of the beautiful statue of “John the Baptist in infancy,” published at Rome in 1817,and engraved by Consorti. But this was not the only mark of grateful respect paid by Canova to this this early friend. "Non ho lettera," says the younger Falier, “del Canova ove non ricordi anche per il mio maggior fratello, la sua gratitudine." "I have not a letter of Canova's in which he does not mention his gratitude to my elder brother.” A grateful sense of past favours was one of the many aimable traits of Canova's character an obligation once conferred was never forgotten."")
