Book Description

Excerpt from The Royal Academy and Its Members, 1768-1830 A considerable portion of the matter contained in this volume has appeared in the pages of the Art journal, the proprietors of which magazine have kindly given their sanction for its use. The approval which the articles in their original form met with from members of the Academy and others, encouraged me to think that, with certain alterations and additions, they might meet with acceptance from the public as an authentic history of the Royal Academy and its members for the first sixty years of the existence of the Institution.
