Excerpt from A Philosophical and Critical History of the Fine Arts, Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture, Vol. 1 of 4

Sire,

A history of the Fine Arts, making it's appearance in this age, can look up to no other character on the earth, at whose feet it may throw itself so properly and so confidently for protection as before your Majesty. In all the other sovereignties, and in all other countries, of the world, we only see the relics of that patronage, of those schools, and of those arts, which were once so animated, and so proudly brilliant.

Yet it is not merely by succession that your Majesty now stands at the head of these. Their fame was never higher in the modern world than that which is now their claim in this country; and that fame is wholly the growth of your own reign. How old soever may have been the history of those footsteps, by which they have been marked in Great Britain, the history of their elegance and refined spirit is comprized within the compass of that period, which has given the generous and amiable influence of your Majesty's exemplary mind to spread it's general ornament over these kingdoms.
