Excerpt from Companion to the Bryan Gallery of Critical Art: Containing Critical Descriptions of the Pictures, and Biographical, Sketches of the Painters; With an Introductory Essay, and an Index
The Proprietor of the Bryan Gallery having requested the author to prepare a Hand-book for it he undertook the task with pleasure; but, though not altogether without experience in such labors, he did not foresee either the extent of the demand which the work would make upon his time, or the great satisfaction which would accompany the study needful for the proper appreciation of the pictures which he was called upon to describe.
