Excerpt from Matthew William Peters, His Life and Work

I Desire to express my grateful thanks to all those who have so kindly placed at my disposal information relating to the life of the Rev. Matthew William Peters. Among others, I must especially mention Mr. E. R. Turton, of Upsall Castle, and Mr. Samuel Peters, who have supplied me with much hitherto unknown material regarding the painter. I am also indebted to Mr. J. Thorpe and to Mr. Dixon for very many details regarding Peters's masonic career, especially to the latter's interesting work, "History of Freemasonry in Lincolnshire."

For particulars of Peters's life in France I have drawn chiefly from Mons. See's interesting article published in the "Gazette des Beaux Arts" for November, 1911, and I have also been much aided in compiling the list of pictures by Mr. Algernon Graves's works on the Royal Academy. I must also express my thanks to Mr. W. P. Courtnay for his notes relative to the literature of the eighteenth century, and to Mr. C. R. Grundy for his great interest and advice in compiling this monograph.

I feel I owe a deep debt of gratitude to all those owners of pictures and engravings who have so kindly allowed me to reproduce so many interesting and beautiful examples of Peters's art, and I trust that this sketch of the artist's life may lead to a better appreciation of the great merits of this half-forgotten eighteenth-century master, whose work I feel convinced is, in many instances, now attributed to Reynolds and Gainsborough.
