Excerpt from Lectures on Painting and Design: Fuzeli; Wilkie; Effect of the Societies on Taste; A Competent Tribunal; On Fresco; Elgin Marbles; Beauty Never was a finer Opportunity for a series of frescoes than in the Royal Exchange, to illustrate the progress of British Commerce, from the first trading of the Phwnicians, to Hong Kong: and yet, what has been the result?
