Excerpt from The Literary Works of Sir Joshua Reynolds to Which Is Prefixed a Memoir of the Author, Vol. 1 of 2: With Remarks on His Professional Character, Illustrative of His Principles and Practice WE cannot properly judge to what extent the arts of this country are indebted to the labours of Sir Joshua Reynolds, without turning our attention to the state in which he found them at the period when he came to their rescue; and, if we estimate, at the same time, the results of the labours of others, who had pre viously endeavoured to advance or to maintain the art of painting in England, we may be led to consider the nature of the means which they employed in their professional pursuits, and the difference between these and the means employed by Reynolds to for ward his own views of art.
