Preface to Discourse I.
TO THE MEMBERS
OF
THE ROYAL ACADEMY
ОглавлениеGentlemen,
That you have ordered the publication of this discourse is not only very flattering to me, as it implies your approbation of the method of study which I have recommended; but, likewise, as this method receives from that act such an additional weight and authority, as demands from the students that deference and respect which can be due only to the united sense of so considerable a body of artists.
I am,
With the greatest esteem and respect,
Gentlemen,
Your most humble
and obedient Servant,
Joshua Reynolds.
