Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Artist is, undoubtedly, to be found in an account of some of his principal Works; for in those are usually displayed the qualities of his mind, the nature of his studies, and the depth of his knowledge; and when the subjects are chosen by himself, they are fair transcripts of his thoughts and affections, and present as true a reflex of his heart and mind, as a clear mirror would of the features of his face: and never was this more strongly exemplified than in the present instance; for in the works of Mr. Flaxman wherever are found the representations of Wisdom, Magnanimity, Piety, or any of the Christian Virtues and Charities that exalt human nature, they were his own.
(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
