Historical Background

Weinglass (p. 234) thinks that the enclosed paper was probably the account of Fuseli's second lecture, written by Farington in advance for the True Briton (24 March 1801). Farington had objected to Fuseli's observations on Salvator Rosa and Poussin in the original text shown him by Fuseli (Farington diary, IV, 1525).

Content Description

Farington asks Fuseli to examine an enclosed paper [not present], to mark any alterations in pencil, and to return it; remarks on Salvator and Poussin.
