Excerpt from John Raphael Smith: His Life and Works

Mr. Theobald, to whom I was a complete stranger, has, in the same generous manner, opened his portfolios to my mezzotint artists, lending his priceless proofs without any other security for their safeguarding than his know ledge of our mutual interest in their preservation.

Sir Charles Tennant has positively dismantled the walls of his staircase at 40 Grosvenor Square, in order that the readers of the Life of yalm Raphael Smith should be able to gaze at the rarest works of the artist, so far, at least, as I could have them reproduced.
