A Dictionary of Artists of the English School: Painters, Sculptors, Architects, Engravers and Ornamentists; With Notices of Their Lives and Work (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Dictionary of Artists of the English School: Painters, Sculptors, Architects, Engravers and Ornamentists; With Notices of Their Lives and Work

This work was commenced upon an experience of the little information readily attainable respecting the Artists of the English School. For some years several special Opportunities which arose have been diligently used, and every means taken, to collect such facts as might be obtained: but it was painful to find how little was known, or could be learnt, of many who, in their own day, if not in ours, had been distinguished, and how often the few-facts which in some cases still existed were at variance. While it cannot be assumed that this work is free from errors, or that all who ought to find a place have been included, it will be a great satisfaction to the author to correct hereafter any mistakes or omissions that may be kindly pointed out.
