This work is too remote from the science which has occu pied the greatest part of my life, too many subjects differing in appearance are treated of, for me not to indicate to the reader the cause which induced me to undertake it: sub sequently I shall speak of the circumstances which made me extend the limits within which it first seemed natural to restrain it.

"To derive all from native power, to owe nothing to another, is the praise which men, who do not much think on what they are saying, bestow sometimes upon others, and sometimes on themselves; and their imaginary dignity is naturally heightened by a supercilious censure of the low, the barren, the grovelling, the servile imitator."

Sir Joshua Rtynolds' Sixth Discourse.

"The arts would lie open for ever to caprice and casualty, if those who are to judge of their excellencies had no settled principles by which they are to regulate their decisions; and the merit or defect of performances were to be determined by unguided fancy; and indeed we may venture to assert, that whatever speculative knowledge is necessary to the artist, is equally and indispensably necessary to the connoisseur."
