Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letter to I*** An*****, Esq., A Connoisseur, in London
Manner, imitation and indolence, are evils which all young Artists have to drea If he can avoid these dangers, follow the lessons of commo sense, and practise an honourable economy, his success is certain. But whatever my hopes or wishes are, and I confess that they are high, I am no prophet. The fairest plant may droop for want of sunshine. The swift may loiter m the course; and the strong man slumber in the lap of idleness. In the estimate of contemporary genius, we are permitted to decide by w hat we witness. The possibilities of the future, are wholly beyond our investigation.
