Not illustrated.1815 Excerpt: ... LETTERS OM DRAWING AND PAINTING, PART THE FIRST. Letter I. To Miss B Madam, When I proposed assisting you in the Art of Drawing and Painting, with the best instruction I could possibly convey, by literary correspondence, I did not expect you would have been so very diffident, as to make your first question so general and comprehensive. Your humility in professing to know nothing, not even "what to ask," and your desire "to know all I can teach yon," has involved me in an undertaking, in which my success can only be comparative. The pleasure to be derived from the practice of this most rational and delightful art, must be proportionate to the refinement of that taste and judgment which is founded, or at least matured, by a knowledge of what is good. To possess so great an enjoyment, is well worthy the most earnest and arduous application, --" a work of merit must always be a difficult work;" but it is that sort of difficulty which is as opposite to trouble, as pleasure is to pain. The difficulty of the work in which I have volunteered my assistance, is greatly increased by your demand for "all I can tell you," because it comprehends a desire to be informed of " all that is necessary to be known on the subject: " to lessen this, will only require due candour on both sides. What I cannot teach you from my own acquired stock, shall be given by references, which you may depend on; of which, if you make the use I shall recommend, our success will be equal; and I shall derive considerable confidence from knowing that my best endeavours are addressed to one, who will readily excuse my plain style of writing, while the matters treated of are found to convey the information required. It is not my intention to make any drawings for you in the course of this undertaking, ...
