Excerpt from Our River
I was finishing a picture some years ago for the Royal Academy exhibition, when Sir Edwin Landseer paid a visit to my studio for the purpose of giving me the benefit of his advice. I remember beginning in a nervous manner to excuse the shortcomings of my work, pointing out those parts of it with which I was dissatisfied, or on which I intended bestowing more labour, when he stopped me at once, saying, Never do that, always leave your faults for others to find out. I have not forgotten this valuable piece of advice, and in presenting this book to the public, shall waste no words in apologising for what incomplete.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Preface. I WAS finishing a picture some years ago for the Royal Academy exhibition, when Sir Edwin Landseer paid a visit to my studio for the purpose of giving me the benefit of his advice. I remember beginning in a nervous manner to excuse the shortcomings of my work pointing out those parts of it with which I was dissatisfied, or on which I intended bestowing more labour, when he stopped me at once, saying, Never do that, always leave your faults for others to find out I have not forgotten this valuable piece of advice, and in presenting this book to the public, shall waste no words in apologising for what incompleteness, or want of literary skill, there may be in its Qcomposition. I have written as a labour of love, with the desire of leaving a slight record of the many happy days of my life that have been spent on the upper reaches of our noble river.
