Content Description

He thanks Eastlake for the accurate outline drawing of St. Peters; he has seen Eastlake's picture at the British Institution and does not baulk at criticising it, he does so in an extended rumination of colouring; the [Royal Academy] has voted another £50 to the Rome Academy, but they are unable to promise such a gift year-on-year.
