Excerpt from Essays on the Fine Arts The present edition of Hazlitt's Essays on the Fine Arts proceeds on the plan of collecting together, so far as was found practicable, all the papers written on this subject, and not included in the new collection of Hazlitt's miscellaneous works. A few articles, properly belonging to the series, have been already included in Table-Talk and the Plain Speaker to which the author originally contributed them. The articles headed The Character of Sir Joshua Reynolds, and An Inquiry whether the Fine Arts are promoted by Academics &c., were afterwards incorporated with that entitled the Fine Arts written for the Encyclopædia Britannica in 1824. This circumstance had escaped the editors notice, or those two earlier essays would not have, of course, been given in their separate and original shape also.
