Notes On Some Pictures In The Royal Academy

Excerpt from Notes on Some of the Principal Pictures Exhibited in the Rooms of the Royal Academy 1875 It is now just twenty years since I wrote first number of these notes; and fifteen, since they were discontinued. I have no intention renewing the series, unless occasionally, should accident detain me in London during the spring. But this year, for many reasons, it seemed me imperatively proper to say as much as is here said.
