Excerpt from Sir Joshua Reynolds, P. R. A
The new attitude towards Sir Joshua's work is here dealt with, and the writer, who is neither so uncritical towards it as are some, nor yet so lacking in appreciation of it as are others, has tried to accord to it a frank treatment. In two instances a per sonal stand is taken: in chapter,vii., which treats of Sir Joshua Reynolds as teacher and writer, and in Chapter XIII., which treats of him as painter and man. Here opinion for and opinion against are weighed, and the writer's conclusions are stated.
