Forgotten Books

Excerpt from Portraits of Patrick Henry I knew Mr. William Wirt Henry personally. He was one of the orators at the centennial celebration held in Independence Hall on July 2, 1876, in commemoration of the introduction into Congress of the Resolutions respecting Independancy, when a congress of authors convened, each one bringing a biographical sketch of a revolutionary worthy, and as the sequel will show the history he gave shortly priorto this occasion of the Sully portrait of Patrick Henry was the correct one and the story he subsequently remembered having been told by his father an apocryphal one. This is made clear and emphatic by the production of the original miniature that belonged to the syme-fleming family and compar ing it with the Sully painting and the latter again with an engraving of Dance's portrait of Captain Cook.

Painting

Excerpt from A Register of Portraits Painted by Thomas Sully Arranged and Edited: With an Introduction and NotesThomas Sully did for posterity that, for which many other artists would have received the blessings of posterity had they done. He kept a register of his work day by day, noting the name of the subject, the size of the canvas, the dates when each was begun and when finished, for whom painted and his price for the same. At the end of each year he added up the total number of his works during the year and their total value; and as his artistic career covered the span of three score and ten, he has recorded the painting of 2520 pictures, of a value of $240,744.00, or an average of 36 paintings a year, of an average annual value of $3525.00, a very comfortable income for the greater part of his life, during the period he lived.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

History

Excerpt from Benjamin West's Family: The American President of the Royal Academy of Arts Not a Quaker So very little is known of the family of Benjamin West, the Pennsylvanian President of the Royal Academy of Arts, London, that every little counts, and mayhap by exploiting that little it will act as the magnet and draw more ample data to itself. John Galt, who was the o icial biographer of West, was a romance writer and not a historian; conse quently he coined many pretty fictions that have taken root and spread by being served up by all subsequent writers, so that now it is almost impossible to lop them off and eradicate them, although mere romances. What seems strange, too, is they appear to have received the sanction of West himself, who, however, was noted for his vanity, which they helped to atter. Ashmead, in his History of Delaware County, Pennsylvania (p. Says: His biographer, Galt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
