Until they are satisfactorily mounted, for instance, it is impossible to allow the portfolios to be turned over except by responsible persons who are accustomed to handle delicate drawings on thin old paper and under close supervision. The long task of preparing these draw- ings for study must be set about at once, and when the new Turner Gallery, the generous gift of the late Sir Joseph Duveen, is completed there will be more space available for their proper display. The system of framing the coloured drawings to fil in cases devised by Mr. Ruskin, and their exhibition in the desks designed by Mr. Charles L. Eastlake, appears to be the most useful arrangement yet suggested, as it allows for the frequent changing of the exhibits. It is sufficiently evident that these delicate visions are not fit for permanent exhibition, but must only be exposed to daylight for short periods. By changing the drawings on view every three months, as has been the custom in the past, Turner students will be continually finding new things to interest them in the gallery, and the drawings will have a needed rest in the darkness of the cases for long periods. Perhaps even then the summer months may be too dangerous for the water-colour draw- ings, and collections of pen and pencil work may be prepared for exhibition at that season. Indeed the pencil drawings might be made more use of for permanent exhibition. As far as I can see they do not suffer by exposure to light, and their beauty has never been enough emphasized. They are the most wonderful landscape drawings for truth and direct interpretation of nature that exist, and as they were nearly always done out of doors on the spot are of especial value as expressing Turner’s thoughts in nature’s own presence. Students will find them full of instruction and inspiration. If they are photographed and the prints compared with the actual scenes represented, Turner’s genius gains a new aspect and the student experiences a marvellous delight. By re-arranging the sketch books in order Mr. Finberg has rendered a special service to students of the master. A method must be devised for keeping them together by mounting the 1000. wt 7593. 12/08. D& 8. 26. 32796. b iv drawings on separate sunk mounts so as to see both sides of the leaves and then binding them together or arranging them in special portfolios. It is delightful to follow the master’s rambles page by page and town by town. Some of the best of these books might be framed and hung on turning desks for this purpose. Mr. Finberg and many of the Turner students who have so generously assisted him in his difficult task have identified the subjects of a great number of the drawings, but there are still many without their local names. I need hardly add that the officials of the gallery will be very grateful, and will heartily welcome anyone who is able by his local knowledge or experience to help in identifying these unnamed drawings. It is most desirable that all should be known for what they are. As these drawings are mounted and arranged it will gradually be possible to make several more collections illustrating the whole life work of Turner, without really weakening the central collection. Such collections to be added to the loan sets already in circulation in the Provinces, where they appear to be much valued, as they are frequently asked for, and some of the galleries have to wait a considerable time before the drawings are free for them. So, gradually, it is hoped that the nation -will enter more fully into the possession of this great heritage and will learn duly to appreciate its unique value. There is nothing like it anywhere in the world. Mr. Finberg’s catalogue for the first time gives us a full and true account of the treasures committed to our charge. Charles Holroyd. Director. V PREFACE. Before saying a few words in explanation of the scope of the present volume, it seems advisable to give a short account of the circumstances under which the Drawings of the Turner Bequest came into the possession of the National Gallery, and their history up to the time when the present re-arrangement was undertaken. This history is clearly recorded in the Annual Reports of the successive Directors of the National Gallery, so that little more is needed for our purposes than the bringing together of these scattered references. The Drawings in question formed part of the Turner Bequest, which came to the Nation under a Decree of the Court of Chancery made for the administration of Turner’s will. The decree was dated Wednesday, 19th March, 1856. In this order all Turner’s Pictures, Drawings and Sketches which were in his possession at the time of his death, were given “ for the Benefit of the Public ” to be “ retained by the Trustees for the Time being of the National Gallery.” No conditions were attached to this gift ; but in order to prevent the inclusion in the gift of any works not from Turner’s hand, it was ordered that two Assessors or Referees should be appointed to make the selection, and in case of disagreement they were to appoint an Umpire. The Assessors chosen were Sir Charles Locke Eastlake, President of the Royal Academy, and Mr. John Prescott Knight, the Secretary of the Royal Academy. They were expressly ordered to select only “such of the Pictures, Drawings, and Sketches, as shall in their opinion have been painted, drawn, or sketched by the Testator’s Hand without any Distinction of finished or unfinished, such Selection to be verified by Affidavit.” All the Parties to the Chancery suit agreed through their Counsel to abide by the selection of the Assessors, or in the case of disagreement, to the selection of the Umpire they should appoint. Turner’s death had occurred on the 19th of December, 1851, so that a period of over five years intervened before the legal questions raised by his will were disposed of. During the course of the litigation Turner’s Executors became anxious about the safety of the pictures, drawings, and engravings stored in the house in Queen Anne Street. They therefore applied to the First Lord of the Treasury for permission to store all the pictures, &c., in the vacant rooms on the ground-floor of the National Gallery. The request was granted, and the removal, begun on the 31st of August, 1851, was completed on the 7th of October follow- ing. After the Chancery decree a subsequent and final delivery of Turner’s works was made on the 25th September, 1856. The two Assessors or Referees made their selection during October and November, 1858, and the catalogue they delivered b 2 3279G VI was verified by affidavit during the month following. The works they selected consisted of — “ Finished pictures ... ... ••• ••• ••• 100 Unfinished pictures, including mere beginnings ... 182 Drawings and sketches in colour and in pencil, including about 300 coloured drawings 19,049 19,331” The public were naturally desirous of seeing as many of these works as could be shown to them. The first duty, therefore, which devolved upon the authorities was to decide what could and what could not be advantageously exhibited. With a view to assisting the Director and Keeper in this work, a small Committee was formed, consisting of Mr. H. A. J. Munro, Clarkson Stanfield and David Roberts. This committee attended at the gallery on the 5th December, 1856, and assisted in the selection of drawings for exhibition, and in deciding on the modes of mounting and framing to be adopted. They also inspected such of the paintings as required lining and recommended that a certain number should be so protected. Of the oil paintings 34 were almost immediately placed on exhibition. These were constantly added to, until by May, 1857, they had reached the number of 105. During the last year or two further selections have been made from the unfinished canvases. Turning now from the oil paintings on canvas, we will confine our attention to the “drawings and sketches in colour and pencil.” The colour sketches and drawings are mostly in water colour, but a few are in oil on paper or millboard, and there are a few pastels. During February, 1857, 102 of these coloured drawings were placed on exhibition. Writing in April, 1858, the Director said, “ The plan which Mr. Ruskin originally proposed for the preservation of the more delicate coloured drawings from the effects of light, by placing them in cases fitted to contain a given number, has been carried out. A selection of other drawings, requiring only to be carefully mounted, will in due time be made.” (Report, 1858, p. 56.) The drawings placed in the cabinets designed by Mr. Ruskin numbered 400. These were ready for exhibition on 15th May, 1858. In addition to these 1,000 drawings were provided with raised mounts, “ so that they can be shown and handled.” Although in his report to the Director Mr. Ruskin speaks of the 400 drawings as selected for exhibition, he did not apparently contemplate that they should be hung on the walls in the ordinary way, They were enclosed in portable mahogany cases, and only handed out when any one wanted to examine them. The additional 1,000 drawings were apparently intended to be kept in portfolios, and to be shown on special application. “ In order,” Mr. Ruskin says in his report, “to render this series of 1,400 drawings completely available to the public, nothing more is now necessary than the appropriation of a room to them, and the appointment of an attendant to give out the cases of drawings, as * vii iu the Print Room of the British Museum. The observance of such regulations of admission,” he added, “ as are adopted in the Reading-room of that establishment will be necessary ; but no further restrictions need be imposed on the exhibition of the drawings.” (Director’s Report, 1858, pp. 67 and 68.) Mr. Ruskin’s suggestion was not then acted on. The mounted drawings were packed at the time in the tin cases in which the remainder of the unexhibited drawings were kept, but a large number of them were subsequently utilised for exhibition. The mahogany cases, however, with their contents have remained as Mr. Ruskin left them and are still in use. The drawings form Nos. 1-400 of the present series of exhibited drawings. But only 60 of them are exhibited at one time. These are placed in the desks in the first of the Turner Water Colour rooms. They are changed every three months (on the 1st of January, April, July, and October), but the remainder can be examined at any time in the inner room by any one who chooses to get special permission from the Keeper for that purpose. In addition to this work Mr. Ruskin selected and arranged 338 drawings, in 153 frames, to take the place of the 102 drawings which had been placed on exhibition at Marlborough House. The majority of these frames were transferred to South Kensing- ton during August, 1859. But the number was periodically increased until it amounted to 194 frames. (Report, 1862, p. 111.) During June and July, 1869, three small selections of Turner’s sketches were prepared for exhibition in the provinces. These were lent respectively to Dublin, Edinburgh, and Leeds. 1st Loan Collection consisting of 64 sketches in 53 frames. 2nd ,, ,, ,, 62 „ ,, 53 ,, 3rd „ „ „ 70 „ „ 58 196 164 In Sir Frederic Burton’s Report for 1878 it is stated that “in conformity with a request made by His R.H. Prince Leopold on behalf of the Curators of the University Galleries, Oxford, 249 drawings and sketches by Turner, together with 8 sketch books, specially selected from those not ordinarily exhibited to the public, have, with the approval of the Trustees of the National Gallery, been lent to the University Galleries at Oxford.” This selection was made by Mr. Ruskin, although bis name is not mentioned in the Report. The enlargement of the National Gallery having made it possible to withdraw the British pictures and drawings from South Kensington Museum, “ a selection of nearly 300 drawings and sketches by Turner was hung in two rooms on the ground floor of the eastern wing of the Gallery,” during the month of June, 4878. “ The rooms have since remained open to the public,” the Report added, “ who are admitted on signing their names in the entrance hall. The drawings are changed from time to time.” (Report, 1879.) Vlll These two rooms were increased to four in 1889. In the Report for the following year it says; “For many years past a large number of drawings and sketches by Turner (slight and unfinished in many instances, but forming an interesting series) have, for want of hanging space in the Gallery, remained stored in tin boxes in a room on the ground floor. From the original Collection, a certain number have, from time to time, been selected for loan to provincial galleries, and in 1879, at the request of Professor Ruskin, 219 (sic) of them were lent to the University Galleries at Oxford, where they still remain. “ Last year 319 more of the same series were, by order of the National Gallery Board, mounted, framed, and glazed. Of these 200 have been arranged and hung in the ground-floor rooms in the east wing of the Gallery by the keeper (Mr. C. L. Eastlake).” (Report, 1890, p. 6.) The following year “ a fourth collection of Turner’s drawings and sketches, comprising 50 examples selected from those not hitherto exhibited to the public,” was formed and lent for twelve months to the Ruskin Art Museum, at Meersbrook Park, Sheffield (Report, 1891.) And in the 1896 Report it is stated that the 5th and 6th Loan Collections had been constituted and were “ ready for dispatch.” Thus in various ways about 1,800 of Turner’s sketches and drawings have been exhibited to the public. Of the remaining unexhibited drawings, Mr. Ruskin wrote in his 1858 Report that the larger portion “ consists of pocket note-books, containing pencil-sketches on both sides of every leaf. Owing to the dilapidated state of the bindings, the pages in many instances could not be turned or examined without injury to their contents. When this was the case, I have first numbered the pages, and written on the bottom of each leaf the number of the volume to which it belongs in the schedule. I have then taken off the binding, carefully separated the leaves, placed each leaf in a flolded piece of smooth paper, and fastened the w'hole firmly between pasteboards, thus securing the drawings from all injury for the present. Whatever number of them it may hereafter be thought desirable to exhibit, may now be mounted, and shown without difficulty ; only this final arrangement cannot but be a work of time. The mode of mounting adopted, though it conceals one side of the leaf, does not injure the drawing so hidden ; and if it should be thought desirable, any of the leaves may be afterwards removed from the mounts, and attached by their edges in the usual way ; but I thought that where the quantity of drawings was so large, the attainment of ease and safety in the handling might justify, at least for the present, the concealment of drawings on the reverses of leaves. “ Thirty-six of the note-books, containing collectively 3,132 leaves, most of them drawn on both sides, have been thus divided, and all the note-books, 267 in number, have been examined, and their principal contents (in subject), stated on their envelopes for convenience of reference. My attention has been principally turned during the present season to the pencil drawings, because I saw that these were likely to suffer much more injury, if left ix unprotected, than could, under any ordinary circumstances, happen to the coloured ones ; and many of these pencil sketches have been mounted, not as being specially interesting, but merely because they had been left by Turner in confusion, and I wanted to get them out of the way of chance injury at once, so as leave free room for other operations. A large quantity of very beautiful studies of skies in colour, beginnings of drawings in colour, early finished drawings and studies in Indian ink, are put aside for the present in safe parcels, as I have not yet had time to deal with them. Most of these, being of considerable size, would require, after being mounted, large cabinets to hold them, and I thought it best to defer the planning of these cabinets until some determination had been arrived at respecting the new Galleries. The remainder of the collection consists of drawings of miscellaneous character, from which many might be spared with little loss to the collection in London, and great advantage to students in the provinces. Five or six collections, each com- pletely illustrative of Turner’s modes of study, and successions of practice, might easily be prepared for the Academies of Edinburgh, Dublin and the principal English manufacturing towns. “ Among these loose parcels there are also large numbers of sketches so slight or careless as to possess hardly any value. It is difficult at present to determine the extent of this inferior class, as many drawings which at first appear useless, will be found to possess documentary interest in connexion with others. Ultimately, however, there will certainly be a large mass which it would not be desirable to exhibit with the rest of the collection, as their inferiority would cast unjust discredit on the finer works with which they were associated. I should therefore recommend them to be bound in volumes, and shown only on special applica- tion. They ought not to be scattered or parted with, because they form illustrations, often dependent as much on their quantity as on their style, of the habits of life and tones of temper, and, too often, errors of judgment, of the greatest landscape painter who ever lived. 27 March, 1858. (Sgd.) JOHN Ruskin.” (Report, 1858, pp. G8 and 69.) These extracts will no doubt be sufficient to indicate the point of view from which the Bequest had been regarded in the past. The only questions that had been seriously considered were, what and how many drawings could be publicly exhibited ; and even Mr. Ruskin’s partial arrangement of the unexhibited drawings seems to have aimed chiefly at the indication of their degrees of suitability for public exhibition. The exact nature of this “ partial arrangement ” is perhaps best displayed by the endorsements made on the wrappers of the various parcels (these have been carefully transcribed and will be found embodied in the text of the present volume) and by the manuscript catalogue which Mr. Ruskin handed in to the Gallery on the 14th May, 1862. In this catalogue the whole of the unexhibited drawings were divided into 308 parcels. The cata- logue is too long to be given here in its entirety, but the following 10 TURNER DRAWINGS.

Ils ne savent pas, par example, si le second voyage continental de Turner, celui de 1804, est une realite on une fiction. (Arm- strong, p. 57.) 11s ne savent pas s’il y eut voyage en Italie en 1822. (Chignell, pp. 79-80.) Ils ne savent pas quelle est la date positive du premier voyage de Turner en Hollande. Ils ne savent meme pas la date exacte de la premiere visite a Venise. (Chignell, p. 138 et Armstrong, p. 167).” (Christian Cherfils. “ Canon de Turner.” Paris, MCMVI. p. 23). Similar complaints could also be cited from all recent books on the subject, and the list of events about which trustworthy information is lacking might easily be extended. The chief source of information about the facts of Turners life is undoubtedly Thornbury “ Life and letters, &c.,” first published in 1862 ; but Thornbury’s proved inaccuracy and other defects make it necessary to regard almost all his statements with suspicion. Thornbury is the common source of all subsequent biographies, though writers like the late Mr. Cosmo Monkhouse and Sir Walter Armstrong have brought some valuable facts to light. The question of dates had little or no interest for Mr. Ruskin ; on such questions he is as M. Cherfils grimly remarks “ plus que sobre.” More reliable sources of information than Thornbury’s “ Life” are the list of Turner’s exhibited works, compiled from the catalogues of the Royal Academy, British Institution, &c., and the record of Turner’s engraved work. But the information contained in these records though reliable is yet extremely limited. When dealing with the list of exhibited works it is not always possible to trace the pictures themselves simply from the bare record of the title, which is all we have to go upon in many cases. Mr. C. F. Bell’s careful and accurate study of “ Turner’s Exhibited Work” (George Bell & Sons, London, 1901) and Mr. Edward Dillon’s admirable list of the Oil Pictures and Water Colours have here been of great assistance. Another difficulty is connected with the fact that Turner did not always exhibit his pictures immediately after they were painted. No doubt he did so as a rule, but there were exceptions. The dangers of taking the year of exhibition as proof of the date of the work in question is illustrated by the con- tention of the French writer I have cited above, who points to the fact that the “ Venus and Adonis ” was exhibited in 1849, as evidence that Turner was doiug his best work during the last year or two of his life. (Christian Cherfils, op. cit. p. 22, note.) The “Venus and Adonis,” I may add, was designed and painted immediately after Turner’s visit to the Louvre in 1802, though it was not exhibited till over 40 years later. A similar caution is needed in making use of the record of the engraved work. Sometimes the engravings w T ere made and published within a year of the completion of the drawings upon which they were founded ; in other cases, periods of from two to thirty or forty years elapsed between the date of the drawing and the date when it was engraved. On such points as these the labours and researches of Mr. W. G. Rawlinson have frequently shed a welcome light. (“ Turner’s Liber Studiorum,” 1st Edn. 1878, 2nd Edn. 1906 ; and “ The Engraved Work of J. M. W. Turner, R.A.” Vol. I., MacMillan & Co!, 1908.) In addition to all these published sources of information I had the advantages of access to a large collection of private papers and xiii documents in the possession of Mr. C. Mallord W. Turner. Mr. Turner’s legal knowledge was often especially useful in the elucidation of these documents, and I shall ever remember with gratitude the unwearied kindness with which he has helped me in all my difficulties and the unflagging ardour of research with which he pursued every clue. Sometimes our researches produced the happiest results, as when Mr. Turner discovered Sprigg’s “ Catalogue of the Rooker Sale,” and thus proved beyond all doubt that the drawing of “ Margam Priory,” which had long been exhibited as a work of Turner, was really by Michael Angelo Rooker, A.R.A. ; in other cases, however, as it is perhaps needless for me to say, we had to rest content with a merely negative result. But the information supplied from all these sources would have been insufficient for the present undertaking, if it had not been supplemented by the information which a careful and minute examination of the sketch books and drawings themselves brought to light. Thus, one of the earlier sketch books was found to contain a list of places with notes of the chief antiquities and curiosities which were to be found there. ( See XIX., “ Matlock ” Sketch Book, pp. 26-28 of Catalogue). On studying the relative positions of these places and the order in which they were arranged, it became evident that they represented the itinerary of a sketching tour. The book in which this list occurred contained sketches of some of the places mentioned ; among them I recognised a sketch of Northampton, which was ' evidently connected with the water colour engraved and published in the “ Pocket Magazine,” 1st July, 1795, and another, of the Bridge and Gatehouse, Bridgnorth, connected with the engraving published in the “Copperplate Magazine,” 1st August, 1795. This suggested that the proposed tour had actually been made, and that its date was prior to 1795. I then drew up a sketch map of the tour and found that six of the subjects exhibited in May, 1795, at the Royal Academy were connected with it, as well as several others engraved in the “ Copperplate Magazine,” the earliest of which — that of “Notting- ham” — was published on 28th February, 1795. All this pointed to 1794 as the date of the tour. Almost all Turner’s important drawings made during this sketching tour happened to have been made upon loose single sheets of paper, which were scattered at random among the drawings exhibited in the Turner Water Colour Rooms, the six loan collections, the Oxford loan collection, and the three hundred odd parcels of unexhibited drawings. But with the sketch map as a clue I was able to draw them gradually together, and as a result we have the two groups of drawings described as “ First Midland Tour ” (XXI. and XXII.). In a case like this, where the chronology of a group of drawings has seemed to me guaranteed by its connexion with the whole series and by its concordance with all the external facts, I have ventured to assume that we may take the date as established. But when, for one reason or another, I have not felt quite satisfied on this point I have printed the date with an asterisk. All the dates xiv marked with an asterisk must therefore be taken as more or less hypothetical, but in each case the degree of uncertainty varies considerably. Thus I have marked the date of the “ Marford Mill Sketch Book ” (XX.) as hypothetical, because its connexion with the first Midland Tour depends at present upon the doubtful identification of the water colour drawing in the Manchester Whitworth Institute, entitled “ An Old Mill,” with the drawing exhibited at the Royal Academy in 179f), which bore the title of “ Marford Mill, Wrexham.” If the drawing at Manchester does represent Marford Mill, then the sketch on pp. 18a-19, of the sketch book also represents Marford Mill, and the book is certainly rightly classed among the work of this tour. But until this point is settled, or until some of the other drawings in the book are identified with some of the places included in the tour, there remains a certain doubt about the exact place of the book in our chronological series ; and it is this doubt that the asterisk is meant to call attention to. But as the nature of a series does not permit of a gap I have been compelled to come to at least a provisional conclusion on all doubtful points. The actual place in the series must therefore be taken as an indication of what seems to me the most probable conclusion under the circumstances. Thus, on the whole, I think it probable that the “ Marford Mill ” book does belong to the 1794 tour, but this opinion is subject to the reservations made above.* The proved usefulness of a sketch map in the case of the First Midland Tour drawings suggested the advisability of its general application. Having arranged the whole of the drawings roughly upon stylistic and other grounds, 1 therefore began to work out in detail the itinerary of each separate sketching tour. I should have liked to have published several of these maps on the present occasion, but it has been found practicable to give only one of them — that of Turner’s first continental tour in 1802. By working in this way the various sketch books were drawn together, or rather the actual * The list of bank notes written on p. 2a of this book ( see p. 30 of Catalogue) may perhaps be taken to point to 1802 as the probable date of this book. Similar lists of notes are a frequent feature of the sketch books and they have presented a series of difficult problems to me. Apparently Turner did not keep a banking account, at least during the earlier part of his life. When he had money he seems to have bought stock of one kind or another, and when he wanted money he sold stock (see pp. 298-299). In this way lumps of ready-money were at intervals brought into the household, and on their arrival it seems to have been felt advisable to make a list of the dates, numbers and face value of the bank notes of which they consisted. These lists are generally either in Turner’s hand- writing or in what I take to be his father’s. In the present case the list is I believe in the father’s hand, and the dates of the notes point to 1802 as the year when the entry was made. But it does not follow that these memoranda would necessarily be made in the sketch books either in use at the time or in the book most recently used. When Turner made the entry he may cf course have taken out any book he had on his person, that is to say the one in use at that time, or he may have taken up any one which may have been at hand and which may have been in use years before. When the father made the record it seems to me probable that he would have been tempted to utilize some of the blank leaves in the older sketch books, and that is what I fancy has happened in the present case. Generally speaking the character of the actual sketches seems to me ought to outweigh the evidence of more or less accidental data. XV bonds of connection between them were clearly brought out ; as sketches of the same places sometimes occurred in two or more of the books, they were found to dovetail into one another in a most satisfactory way. In the case of the 1802 tour no list of the places proposed to be visited came to light, as in the case of the 1794 tour, but by marking on the map all the places of which we actually possessed sketches I was enabled to form a tolerably accurate inference as to the route Turner pursued. One great advantage of such knowledge was the help it afforded in the identification of the very large number of undescribed drawings in the collection, both by pointing out the likely places within the route and by offering a prim a facie case against places distinctly off the route. I will venture to give one instance of the way this method worked, both because it will serve to introduce a subject which I must allude to, viz. the presence in the collection of a considerable number of drawings by other artists than Turner, and also because I think it will help to draw attention to the kind of mutual support and corroboration which the present arrange- ment possesses. When I came to work out in detail the North of England tour of 1797 I traced Turner as far north as Melrose, when he seemed to turn off in a south-westerly direction for Carlisle and the Cumberland lakes. But amongst the group of sketches which seemed to belong to this tour was a single pencil drawing of the Cathedral at Glasgow (Exhibited Drawings, No. 460, N.G.). Now if Turner went to Glasgow on this occassion it seemed reasonable to expect to find either some more sketches of that city or sketches of some of the places between it and Melrose. There were indeed sketches of Edinburgh as well as others of Glasgow in the collection, but these clearly belonged to a later tour — that of 1801, and the particular drawing of Glasgow to which I refer was so clearly marked off on stylistic grounds from the work of that year that I could not possibly include it in that tour, or connect any of those drawings with the 1794 tour. After exhausting all kinds of desperate hypotheses I found myself driven to ask, “ Can the Glasgow drawing be by some other artist than Turner ? ” As a result of the researches thus prompted I came to the conclusion that it was not by Turner but by Girtin. The drawings included in the Appendix which I have described as probably not by Turner are drawings which were certainly in Turner’s possession at the time of his death, and which the two referees or assessors referred to above had judged to be “ by the Testator’s hand.” In a sense too these drawings may be described as those which my system of arrangement and classification was unable to assimilate. But it would be wrong to take the rejection of these drawings as due merely to this fact. Such rejection simply formed the starting point for further investigations. “ If these drawings are not by Turner,” I asked, “ whose are they, and how did they come to be in his possession ? ” For the results of these researches I must refer the reader to the text of the Appendix, but I may add that the discovery of the occasions upon which a number of these drawings had been bought, and the proofs that the entries in the auctioneers’ catalogues afforded that Turner had bought the drawings in the open market as xvi ostensibly the work of de Loutherbourg, Dayes, Rooker, &c., could not but seem to me welcome evidence in support of my arrangement. Further justification of my rejection of the drawings in the Appendix seems to me to be supplied by the agreement in points of style and material which exists between the various batches of drawings, and the correspondence in these respects which they exhibit with the known works of the various masters to whom they are ascribed. One of the most formidable difficulties I have had to face has been the absence of any precise indication as to the subject- matter of a very large proportion of the drawings. In the case of the sketches from nature the absence of this kind of informa- tion has often seriously interfered with the system of geographical arrangement. On a small proportion of the drawings Turner has indeed scribbled some kind of note which no doubt would have been sufficient indication to himself of the name of the place represented ; but the artist’s phonetic methods of spelling (especially in the case of foreign names), and the appalling illegibility of his handwriting render these indication less useful than they might have been. I have done all I could, both by the use of engravings and photographs and by hurried visits to various neighbourhoods, to establish the identity of the places and buildings Turner has sketched, but to introduce a satisfactory kind of order into the large mass of Continental sketches would have involved the making of several journeys abroad, and these would have unduly retarded the present work. But the need for the kind of informa- tion which can only be obtained in this way still remains ; its possession would add considerably to the interest, value and usefulness of the collection ; and in my opinion the task of gathering this information ought to be now undertaken. Indeed the work which is represented by the present publica- tion must on no account be regarded as anything more than a beginning or first instalment of the task of putting the Drawings of the Turner Bequest into proper order and making satisfactory arrangements for their preservation and public use. At present the unexhibited drawings are arranged in 108 solander cases, duly numbered and labelled with their contents, and I have done what I can to protect these drawings from being rubbed or soiled by a liberal employment of sheets of clean white thin paper. But they cannot be shown to the public until large numbers of them have been mounted and until the dismembered sketch books have been rebound. A large number of the drawings on the reverses of the leaves mounted by Mr. Ruskin ought not, in my opinion, to be concealed in this way ( see p. viii.). The present selection of exhibited drawings is neither representative nor in a satis- factory condition. Amongst them are included works not by Turner, and a large number of the authentic drawings have been seriously affected by prolonged and undue exposure to the light. The history of the collection shows that much of this damage is due to what are invariably called the “ temporary ” exhibition of drawings, that is to say, valuable works which are well known to be highly susceptible of injury by light are exposed to the full xvii glare of the exhibition galleries for what is announced to be a “ temporary exhibition ” ; they are then left in this position for thirty or forty years or until it becomes evident that the work has been completely ruined. When the first batch of finished drawings was exhibited, February, 1857, Mr. Ruskin and others drew attention to the dangers of continual exposure to the light. For the reassurance of all lovers of English art a statement was published in the Director’s Report dated April, 1857. After announcing that 102 of Turner’s drawings were then on exhibition at Marlborough House the Report added : “ It is well known to those who are conversant with tinted drawings, that such works are in time injuriously affected by light. It is, therefore, to be understood that the exhibition of the drawings above mentioned, or of others which may be added, is a temporary exhibition only ” (National Gallery Report, 1857, p. 38). Several of the drawings in question are still on exhibition, and their condition proves that Mr. Ruskin’s apprehensions for their safety were only too well founded. The damage already done in this way to the collection is irreparable. I would urge, therefore, that the question of the conditions of exhibition of the coloured drawings should be seriously reconsidered, and that a time limit should be fixed and adhered to. I cannot bring these remarks to a close without a word of public acknowledgment and thanks to those who have helped me in this work. I have already referred to the assistance which Mr. Mallord Turner has given me in the matter of research ; 1 have also to thank him for the loan of practically the whole of Turner’s engraved work for the purposes of reference during my work at the gallery. I cannot think but with gratitude of the ready kind- ness with which the private owners of Turner’s pictures have given me access to their treasures, and done all in their power to facilitate my investigations and make my visits enjoyable. On all hands I found the present undertaking hailed with the utmost satisfaction, and the satisfaction provoked by the initiative of the authorities found vent in kindness to their agent. Some of those who encouraged and helped me at the commencement of the work have not lived to see it finished. Amongst those who have thus passed beyond the reach of my thanks I think with particular affection of the late Mr. John E. Taylor, who came to the gallery to look through Turner’s first sketch-book only a few days before his death, and of the late Mr. Irvine Smith and Mr. R. D. Holt, all three whole-hearted, though discriminating, lovers of Turner’s genius. Amongst those fortunately still with us to whom I wish to offer my grateful acknowledgments are the Earl of Yarborough, the Earl of Lonsdale, Lord Leconfield, Lord Joicey, the Honourable Lady Leighton Warren, Sir Alexander Acland- Hood, Mr. F. H. Fawkes, Mr. W. G. Rawlinson, Mr. Thomas Brocklebank, Mr. Ralph Brocklebank, Mr. Naylor, the Rev. W. MacGregor, the Rev. E. S. Dewick, Mrs. Beausire and Mrs. Holt. In addition to their other kindnesses Mr. Frederick H. Fawkes, the present master of Farnley, lent me the diary which Mrs. Fawkes had kept during the years that Turner was a visitor and friend of the family, and the Lady Leighton Vvkirren has favoured me with copies of Turner’s letters and receipts XV111 referring to the pictures painted for her grandfather, Sir John Leicester (afterwards Lord de Tabley). A number of gentlemen have also been good enough to aid me in the attempt to identify the scenes of Turner’s undescribed sketches. Amongst those whom I wish to thank most heartily for help of this kind are the Earl of Carlisle, Mr. J. P. fleseltine, the Rev. E. S. Dewick, the Rev. T. W. Jackson, Professor C. J. Holmes and Mr. Iiallam Murray. The Director and Keeper of the Gallery have both helped me repeatedly in this way and have also given me the most valuable assistance and encouragement in all my difficulties. A. J. FINBERG.

Most of these drawings were probably made in the Royal Academy Schools, but a few may repre- sent the preliminary work that would have been done before being admitted to the schools. One of the executors has written on the wrapping paper, — “ Very doubtful. (Sgd.) George Jones.” But I see no good reason for rejecting them. They are evidently the work of a beginner and by the same hand ; the note on the back of “ D ” is in Turner’s boyish handwriting ; and we know that Turner worked in the Plaster Academy of the Royal Academy Schools [V.] DRAWINGS PROM THE ANTIQUE. 7 Several of the Academy Registers are now in the Library of the National Gallery, having been gene- rously presented by Mr. C. Fairfax Murray. The earliest register begins on 21st July, 1790, and as Turner’s name appears among the students’ signatures on that day, it is probable that it was not his first attendance. His latest signature appears under the date, 8th October, 1793. Between 21st July, 1790, and 8th October, 1793, Turner’s signa- ture appears 137 times, but two of the registers (viz., one between 27th November, 1790 to 24th March, 1791, and one between 10th November, 1792 to 8th March, 1793) are missing.

Worked more cautiously than preceding sketch. Point of view a little to the left and higher. (The drawing “Malmesbury Abbey,” in the possession of Mr. Herbert A. Day, seems to be a combination of this and the preceding sketch. The alterations and omissions show great skill and taste. See Illustration, p. 43, Arm- strong’s “ Turner.” This is probably the drawing exhibited at the R.A., in 1792.) E. West End of Malmesbury Abbey. 7§- x 10. Different view from “ C.” and “ D.” Watercolour with brown ink outline, but stained, dirtied and partly rubbed or washed out. Based on sketch, pp. 12 and 13 of “ Bristol and Malmesbury ” sketch book.

Carefully worked water colour with large number of figures ; on left, firemen in their uniforms with hoses and engines, crowd of spectators and passers-by on right and in centre. Signed and dated, “ Wm. Turner, 1 792 ” ; the date being very indistinct and perhaps questionable. (A drawing entitled “ The Pantheon, the Morning after the Fire ” was exhibited at the R.A. in May, 1792. It was bought from the exhibition by Mr. P. C. Hardwick, the architect in whose office Turner had been working, and it was in the possession of his family in 1887. Mr. Hardwick’s drawing is thus described by Dillon : — “ 11| x 9|. Ruins, with brick columns and arched door- way. High walls beyond. Two figures in F.”) B. Sketch of the Ruins (1). 9| x 7f. Brick columns and arched alcove, with walls behind. Probably sketch for Mr. Hardwick’s picture. Water colour with brown ink outline. C. Sketch of Ruins (2). 8 x 12|. Ink and pencil. On back, in pencil, — “ Neale Joiner ,” and “ James V., Oxford Road."

Pencil. On back, in pencil, “ Mr. Dashwoocl ” (crossed out) ; “ Mr. Clithero, /, New Ormond Street" ; and “ Mr. Clutterhuck , 2 On. ^.” The unfinished water colour of “ Llanthony Abbey,” No. 688, N.Gr., appears to have been based on this drawing. A later, and completed, version of this subject — on a smaller scale — is now in possession of T. E. Watson, Esq., J.P. of Newport, Mon., signed and dated 1795. G. Ruins of Llanthony Abbey. 10| x 8|.

Dover Castle and Pier. 6| x 10. Pencil. Wooden pier with shipping from the sea, Castle Cliff rising beyond. A water colour connected with this drawing is in the Print Room, B.M. (Henderson Bequest), described as “ by Turner, after J. Henderson, Senr.” If it is actually by Turner it must have been based on this drawing, which is probably by Turner, and therefore the drawing is incorrectly described as “after Henderson.” But in my opinion the Print Room drawing is not by Turner ; it is probably a copy by Henderson, Senr., of a water colour which Turner may have made from this drawing. B. Wooden Wharf, with Shipping 1 . 9| x 7. Pencil. A drawing, in Indian ink and blue, based on this sketch was sold at Christie’s, in Mrs. Worthington’s sale, April, 1905. C.

Schools in June, 1792. His first signature in the Registers is on 25th June, 1792, and his last on 17th October, 1799. The Registers, however, are missing after the 25th November, 1799, as are also those for 24th January-4tli December, 1795, and from 4th December, 1795, -18th February, 1799. Turner’s signature appears 26 times between 25th June, 1792, and 13th November, 1792, and between 14th November, 1792, and 26th February, 1793, he put in 50 attendances out of a possible 70. Between 27 th February, 1793, and 14th October, 1793, he attends 11 times and is absent 104 times. From 15th October, 1793,-23 January, 1794, he only attends once. From 22nd January, 1794, -17th August, 1794, he only attends twice. From 18th August, 1794, -23rd January, 1795, he only attends once. The Register for 24tli January, 1795, to 4th Decem- ber, 1795, is missing. From 4th December, 1795, to 16th August, 1796, he puts in 10 appearances. The Registers from 4th December, 1795, to 18th February, 1799, are missing. Between 18th February, 1799, and 25th Novem- ber, 1799, there are three appearances. Total number of signatures 104. It is very doubtful whether all these drawings are by Turner. Mr. George Jones’s endorsement, “ Very doubtful,” referred to these drawings as well as to the studies from the antique, which were in the same parcel. See also a reference to Academy studies by “ Ryley, R.A.,” which Turner had in his possession (CXXIX., p. 8). Some of the drawings may probably be copies from other drawings or from engravings. The drawings on blue Michallet paper (A, G, H, and I) seem to me most probably by Turner. A. Lower Portion of a Male Ascending- Figure. 14 x 11R Black and white chalk on blue.

A water colour entitled “ Inside of Tintern Abbey ” was exhibited at the R.A. in 1794. The exhibited drawing is pro- bably the “ Interior of Tintern Abbey,” now in the V. and A. M. (1683-71). This resembles in a few details the original study from nature (XII, E.) rather more closely than the present drawing. I have also seen another version of this view in the collec- tion of the late John E Taylor, Esq. (O.M. 1887, No. 26), which Mr. Bell describes as a “view looking down the transept, ”f and which he therefore suggests may have been the drawing of the “ Transept of Tintern Abbey ” which Turner exhibited at the R.A. in 1795. But it is a view of the choir, like the above two drawings, and is probably not by Turner. t “ List of the Works contributed to Public Exhibitions by J. M. W. Turner, R.A.,” by C. F.

Examine it for a quarter of an hour through a magnifying glass and you will see something of what it is.” See Cook’s “ Ruskin on Pictures,” p. 232.] „ 94. Study of pigs.

XXXI.— MONOCHROME DRAWING COPIES- It is difficult to account for the existence of these drawings or to be sure that they are Turner’s work, the style being so different from his ordinary manner. It is possible that they may have been done as drawing copies, or improvised in the presence of pupils, as was the habit with drawing masters of this period. The notes at the back of some of the drawings — “ Win. Turner” and “Mr. Turner’s drawing,” with a number — also point to their use as drawing copies. A. " Pont-y-Pridd, Glamorganshire.” 10^ x 14f.

(7 leaves drawn on.) Note. — In the late Mr. J. E. Taylor’s Collection there are at least five leaves of this Sketch book. One of these is of Merton College, Oxford, while others are, I believe, of Lauffenbourg. The measurements and water marks of four of the leaves agree with the above, but the “ Merton College ” drawing is slightly smaller — viz., 15| x 10 — having been trimmed. In the Ruskin Drawing School, at Oxford, there are six other leaves belonging, I believe, to this Sketch book, viz. : — No. 126 (Case VI.)— “ Durham Castle and Bridge.” Pencil. 15§ x 10^. No. 141— “ Coast of Yorkshire.” Pencil. 16 x 10^. (“ Liber ” subject (R. 24) based on this sketch.) No. 143— “ Solway Moss.” Pencil, with wash of neutral tint. 7. 15| x 9f.

It will be noted that all these subjects belong to the North of England and Scotch tour which Turner made in 1800 or 1801, see below.

A group of drawings belonging to the nineteen days’ tour, on which the “ Scotch Lakes ” and “ Tummel Bridge ” Sketch Books were in use. They are drawn on loose sheets of Whatman, prepared with a wash of brown. Some of them appear to have been drawn on the spot in black and white chalk, and finished afterwards with pencil and washes of Chinese white, but Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 17, 18, 41, 42, 46, 47, 51, 56, and possibly others, may have been based on sketches in “ Tummel Bridge ” or “ Scotch Lakes ” Sketch Books. t As this Bridge is obviously the same as that in LVIII. 42 and 41. which Mr. Ruskin thinks is 11 Tummel Bridge,” I have named rhese drawings and the sketch book accordingly; but I have not been able to verify Mr, Ruskin’s surmise. [LVIII.] SCOTTISH PENCILS. 158 The average size of sheet is 13-g x 19^, but a number are as small as 11 x 17. The sheets are of irregular shape and do not appear to have formed part of a sketch book. These drawings appear to have been all mounted on the pages of a large folio book (23j x T7^), with heavy leather covers, handsomely tooled, with gold lettering — “ Italiaanse Tekeningen.” On top right-hand corner of first page is written in ink the numbers “ GO ” and “ 68 ” ; also “ Lot 8.” Inside the front cover is written in ink, “61 Leaves ,” in what may be Turner’s handwriting. Also, in pencil : — “ St. Helen's Church. Abingdon on the right hand of the road to London." Generally the leaves on which the drawings were mounted have been cut out, but in some cases the drawings, which were only stuck at the foirr corners, have been taken off. On these pages, in what would have been the margins of the drawings, a number of initials have been placed. Among these are — “ S. W. P.” (three times), “ W. F. W.,” “ Ed.,” “ F.,” and “ E. D.” On the narrow slip that remains of one of the pages that has been cut out, Turner has written in pencil : — “ In verary Town 1 Inverary Castle. ' 7 Guineas. Patterdale Church. 20 G. Water mark, “ J. Whatman, 1794,” and “ 1797 ” (See No. 52). Thirty-seven of these drawings were done up in a parcel labelled, A.B. 290 P.R., and endorsed by Mr. Ruskin — “ 37 Scottish Pencils. Of very great value. Too large for mounting or exhibiting till there is more room.” (Note . — As hardly any of the subjects have been identified, it has been impossible to arrange them according to the order of the tour. The present arrangement is more or less arbitrary, and should be altered when the drawings have been identified.) 1. Loch Lomond, with Ben Lomond in distance. 13i x 191.

All beyond is of a true deep ton'd greyish green. The sky rather heavy , but well managed, but usurps too much of the picture and the light. The Objects near to the light are poor and ill jud(g)ed particularly about the Windmill inclin'd to be chalky. The foreground dark, violently so near the bright light that gives a crudeness inconsistent with the purity of the distance. The base of the picture par- ticularly happy as a grey tone that ecisies the eye and gently glides into the shadow {somewhat the color of this paper'). The figures are by Bergem but they do not accord with the general tone of the picture. Fortunately they are placed on the defective part of the piece and therefore create some kind of interest." (Perhaps the picture referred to is Ruysdael’s “ Coup de Soleil,” now in the Louvre (No. 2560) ; see copy on p. 81.) „ 23. “ Sea Port. Rysdael. A brown picture which pervades thro' the water so as to check the idea of it being liquid, altho ' finely pencil' d. The introducing of the House on the Embankment destroys all the dignity of the left. An o ffing ivitli Ship riding in stress of weather happily disposed' and color'd, and a heavy sombre grey sky with warm lights ( the half tint this leaf). The chief light is upon the surge in the foreground — but too much is made to suffer — so that it is artificial — and shows the brown in a more glaring point of view and this inattention of the forms which waves make upon a lee shore embanked ( the ships all in shadow)." (Tbe picture referred to is probably “Une tempete sur le bord des Digues de la Hollande.” [Louvre, No. 2558].) ,, 24. “ Titian and his Mistress. A wonderfull specimen of his abilities as to natural color, for the Bosom of his mistress is a piece of Nature — in her happiest moments. The Arm beauti- fully colour'd, bust rather heavey — and the shadow perhaps too Brown for the shadow of the neck ( which appears to have been produced by a body of grey colour over a rich ground of the colour of the face , then heighten'd (?) in the lights which are truly brilliant. The green drapery is glazed over a similar color but the lights nearly white as they are cold funlike the Drapery of Joseph — ” [LXXII.] STUDIES IN THE LOUVRE. 183 (continued on page 23a) : “ in the entombing of Jesus which has been rather yellow first). The ground pervades thro' the Portrait and the red under is Vermilion and V.R. or Lake over. His hands are Bt. Sienna but her left hand is granulated with minute colours and toucht with brown , and is not dependt (dependent) upon the ground as the other parts of the picture , which proves , as well as the Hair over the white drapery , that he had some means of using the ground color in a body or uniting solid coloring with the ground, altho' 1 must confess I think it taken off practically , which gives the Hand so granulate an appearance. The white drapery is like this leaf but colder, then the high lights a warm color firmly touch'd." Page 25. Copy of Titian’s so-called “ Mistress,” now known as “Alphonse de Ferrare et Laura de’ Dianti ” (Louvre, No. 1590). Water colour. „ 25a. The following is written in ink : — “ Diogenes and his Scholar. A charming and grand composition. The distant houses are chiefly light, the foreground large as to parts and beautifully pencil' d, and the figures happyly introduced. The yellow colour of Diogenes and the grey of the Boy with a light tinge (? toga ) of Red unites with the whole half deep tone in the foreground and makes the picture possess three broad strata of (1) the sky, distance and Houses, the second the fore- ground, the third with the figure and the immediate foreground rather lighter. Yet upon the ivhole the picture is rather too green and cold, as the trees are und ly and the ivhole of the Buildings White." (The picture referred to is doubtless Poussin’s “ Diogene jetant son ecuelle.” Louvre, No. 741.) „ 26. “ Orpheus ancl Eyridicee." The sky rather heavy and of a leaden color. The Buildings a yellowish colour but finely disposed. The middle ground light and the figures scatter' dcind Euridice falsely lighted, and am inclin'd to think that the red drapery of Orpheus and what is on the tree ( which is beauty fully disposed) is to (? too) disimulcir (? dissimilar) and distracts the majesty of the whole composition, which is fine contrasted. The inferior part is the left bank which is unnaturally dark — unusefully so, for it over balances all, and renders the light Bank hard ancl crude, which for want of richness renders the sky heavy, and Painter thought to have remedy' d this by the colouring of the Figures positively, but it here proves that strong colour'd figures without proximity civaild nothing."

[LXXII.] Page 26a. “ The Gathering of Manna* * * § Is the grandest system of light and shadow in the Collection. Two figures of equall power occupy the sides and are color'd alike. They carry severally their satellites of color into the very centre of the picture , where Moses unites them by being in Blue and Red. This strikes me to be the soul of the subject , as it creates a harmonious confusion — a confusion of parts so arranged as to fall into the sides and by strong colour meeting in a background to the side figures which are in Blue and Yellow , so artfully arranged that the art of causing this confusion without distraction is completely hid. The centre has been touch'd , particularly Moses, and I think all the Red draperies in their shadows. 27.

The force with which he appears to bound towards you is an effort of the highest powers. The angels ( finely intro- Page 28. duced and ) are boyant.

Much has been said upon this subject more as an extenuation of an excentric color than as a Beauty or rule. Tho ’ a (sic) charged with colour it should be uniform and accord with sentiments of Nature. But here the tender green of the foreground and the foliage of the large trees are rendered Black by the vivid Blue of the Sky, which not doubt was glazed, over with the nuteralizing tint that pervades in the Saints but has been removed which has (End of page) „ 27 a. surely been removed, from, the right hand and leg of St. Peter, for it is of the same tone as the stone near it, while the Assassin is brown and, full of color — fear is full (sic) — when Nature rather demanded less of color, therefore the nuterlizing tint, alias historical color, has been partially removed.

The following notes in ink : — “ This picture may be ranked among the first of Titian's pictures as to colour and pathos of effect, for by casting a brilliant light on the Holy Mother and Martha the figures of Josephe and the Body has a Sepulceral effect. The expression of Joseph is fine as to the care he is undertaking , but without grandeur. The figure which is cloatlied in striped drapery conveys the idea of silent distress, the one in vermilion attention, while the agony of Mary and, the solicitude of Martha to prevent her grief and view of the dead Body, with her own anguish by seeing are admirably described, and tho' {on the first view they appear " „ 31. “ but collateral figures yet the wholef'js dependent upon them; * they are the Breatdh of and the expression of the Picture. Mary isUn Blue, which * La Mise au tombeau. No. 158t, Louvre. 186 TURNER DRAWINGS. [LXXII.j Page 30a. partakes of crimson tone , and by it unites with the Bluer sky. Martha is in striped yellow and some streakes of Bed, which thus unites with the warm streak of light in the sky. Thus the Breadth is made by the 8 primitive colours breaking each other, and are connected by the figure in vermilion to the one in crimson'd striped drapery ivhich balances all the breadth of the left of the picture by its Brilliancy. Thus the body of Jesus has the look of" “ death ivitliout the affected leaden colour often resorted unto, and the tvhole of the half-tints resemble the colour of this (? Book or Robe), the lights warmer, more of oker. The drapery of the „ 30. Body is the highest light or more properly the first that strikes the eye. Of great use it is, gives colour to the dead Body and Breadth to the center, for Joseph being draped' in dark red and green cuts off all connection with the former Breadth of Mary and Martha. Thus brilliancy and contrast of effect are produced on the left, this shadow is balanced by the broad one upon the Head and part of Body of Jesus, whose countenance is meak, but the shadow obliterates any other ideas, and is " “ rather over-charged , for Titian could have balanced Joseph's shadow by other means, viz., the rock above the striped figure, for it * is so sombre that Mary and Martha tells it must be Jesus and' thus hold the very sentiment and where the eye returns to with sym- pathy and satisfaction of Titian so obscuring the principal figure. 1'he flesh is thinly painted, first by a cold color over a Brown ground, so that it is neither purple or green, some red is used in the extremities, and the lights are warm.

Schedule No. 229. 197 This book has been entirely disintegrated, and as no record has been kept of the sequence of the pages, it has been impossible to reconstitute it. A number of leaves had been taken out of the book and mounted, and about forty-three of these are now among the exhibited drawings. Turner seems to have written the titles of these drawings on the margin of the mount, but these titles have all been cut off during framing. Some of these titles have been preserved in a separate parcel, but no record has been kept of the drawings to which they refer.

The misfortune is that we look not in this depravity, nor consider how it stands, in less degrees, &c" [CVI.] DERBYSHIRE SKETCH BOOK. 283 Page 67 a. “ There is not a quality or endoivment, faculty or ability which is not in a superior degree possess t by women.

The intensity of light upon any plane is re- ciprocally as the square of the distance of that plane from the illuminating quality body. For examples if parallel planes are at the distance of one 2. 3 ft. from the illuminating point, the intensity of light upon them would be iff —f. All planes are equally lighted, by the sun at the same time. For then ray being parallel a 600 the squares are equal a 660.

The sepia drawings are all studies for pictures, and are in various stages of definition. With regard to the number of leaves which have obviously been cut or torn out of this book, it is evident that some at least, if not all, contained similar studies to those which have been left. How many of these are in the present collection (among the exhibited “ Liber ” drawings) it is impossible to say, as nearly all the exhibited drawings have been mounted and cut down.

It is difficult to determine the date of the delivery of Turner's lectures on Perspective. He was appointed Professor of Per- spective at the Royal Academy in 1807. But the first lecture was probably not delivered before 1810, if then. However, immediately after his appointment he began collecting ma- terial for the lectures, as his sketch books show. The manuscripts of these lectures are now in possession of Mr. C. Mallord W. Turner, who has kindly lent them, together with other personal relics of the artist, to the Tate Gallery for exhibition.

CXC VI. —COLOUR BEGINNINGS AND MISCEL- LANEOUS, 1802-1820 (1). These are mostly projects for designs which may or may not have been carried out. Owing to their undeveloped condition it is extremely difficult to be sure of their connexion with the finished works or to say what the artist was aiming at. As a rule these studies are of a highly abstract character, i.e., they deal only with the composition of fundamental colour masses — the ground tones, as it were, of a picture, which in the final result are largely con- cealed under the subsequent embroidery of secondary incidents and motives. [CXCVI.] COLOUR BEGINNINGS. 599 These considerations must draw attention to the hypothetical nature of the identifications and chronological suggestions which I have ventured to make, as well as to excuse the absence of definite information. I have tried on the whole to arrange the series in a chronological sequence. But I am sure that the arrangement will require modification. Even the inclusion of some of the studies under the rubric “between 1802-1820” is merely tentative, and it is quite probable that some at least of the studies grouped together as “mostly between 1820- 1835 ” might properly have been placed here. The present arrangement must therefore be taken as a merely temporary basis to serve as the point of departure for future scholarship. A. Moonlight among ruins. About 13 x 19^. Water colour.
