Sinopsis
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.

Excerpt from Sir Joshua Reynolds
Probably there is no artist who has had more biographers than Sir Joshua Reynolds, nor is there any name in the list of England's great painters better known than that of the first President of the Royal Academy. Shortly after his death his pupil Northcote and his friend Malone put forth lives of Reynolds, both of which are extremely valuable as original authorities. They were succeeded by Farrington and Beechey, both artists themselves, but who have in their turn been supplanted by the magnificent work begun by Mr. Leslie and completed by Mr. Tom Taylor. It is to this latter book that all future biographers of Sir Joshua must go for materials. It is a perfect mine of information, and no praise can be too high for the careful and diligent manner in which the authors have collected from all sources information about the great master.
