Synopsis
Excerpt from Sir Joshua Reynolds
But it hardly becomes me to criticise a work from which I have derived so much assistance, and without which a great deal of the information I here lay before my readers must have been withheld.
I must also acknowledge my obligations to two valuable articles on Reynolds which appeared in the Quarterly Review for April and July, 1866, and to Messrs. Redgrave's Century of Painters.
My own work has no pretence to originality. All I have endeavoured to do is to sum up in a Short form the results of the investigations of others, and to arrive at just conclusions respecting the merits of Sir Joshua's work.
