Excerpt from Lectures on Art
It is rather through the accident of my having been offered the Slade Professorship at University College than through any conviction on my part that I had a call to instruct the public by my pen, that the ten lectures which compose this book came to be written. The first of the series, it is true, was delivered at the college before my appointment there was talked of, but I was much pressed to do it, and I undertook it with much misgiving. My position as Professor seemed to require a certain number of formal lectures, although practical instruction in art was the main object of my appointment; and these led to others being given outside for the benefit of a public which lies in wait for any one they can catch for an evening"s instruction. As regards the lectures, they speak for themselves.
