"It is impossible to describe this work: the prose instructions are illustrated by examples from the pencil and both seem judicious. All who desire to understand landscape as well as those who wish to paint should consult this work. We have not Burnet's* work at hand, otherwise we might have been tempted to compare the opinions and directions of the two artists.
