TO THE READER.
I HAVB referred to the VHth Number of THE ARTIST so fre-
quently in the following pages, that I thought it necessary to print
it at the end of them; nor was I sorry to have an excuse for in-
troducing it into the present work, as I wished that so honourable
and so unquestionable a testimony to Mr. Opie's worth, borne by
contemporaries of known talents and integrity, should meet the
public eye at the same moment with my more partial and conse-
quently less forcible evidence.
