Sinopsis
Excerpt from Lectures and Lessons on Art: Being an Introduction to a Practical and Comprehensive Scheme
Ihave little to complain of in the reception the book has hitherto met with. A man who goes to battle must expect hard blows, and having myself declared war against critics, I am bound to confess that even those that are hostile have generally exhibited a greater magnanimity than I had before credited them with. What strikes me the most (no doubt be cause I am a novice) is the startling and wholly irreconcilable contrast in their opinions. While I have to thank many for a more generous appreciation of my work than I ever expected or deserved, others can see no good in it whatever some, too, are so obviously unjust that I cannot help thinking they have fitted on the caps I purposely left about, and are irritated at the jingling of the bells most of their objections are already refuted in the book itself.
