Excerpt from Half-Hour Lectures on the History and Practice of the Fine and Ornamental Arts
My dear Sir Walter,
Allow me to have the honour and the satisfaction of inscribing to you the following series of papers. Written as they were originally for students in the Arts, and delivered to them, it was necessary to recount some matters sufficiently well known to the initiated; it was desirable also to give a popular, though not necessarily a superficial, character to the Lectures.
