My present bufiness then in short is tp endeavour to persuade our nobility, and gentry to become lovers of Painting, and connoisseurs; which I crave leave to do (with all humility) by shewing the dignity, certainty, pleasure, and advantages of that science. One of the principal causes os the general neglect of the science I am treating of I take to be, that very sew gentlemen have a just idea of Painting; it is commonly taken to be an art whereby nature is to be represented, a fine piece of workmanship, and difficult to be persormed, but produces only pleafant ornaments, mere superfluities. This being all they expect from it no wonder they look no farther; and not having applied themselves to things of this nature, overlook beauties which they do not hope to find;...
