Literature / and science are taught upon a scale sufficiently extensive / to furnish principles and Theory for the practice of every useful / Art and Employment, for the same reason in Colleges and / Institutions established for less general purposes and con / =fined to the cultivation of particular science or Arts, their / systems of Education become more valuable and effective / as they promote a diligent and successful practice upon / upon the principles of a sound and rational Theory. / The Royal Academy situated in this palace / by the munificence of our revered sovereign King / George the 3d. has continued it's exertions without ceasing / for the improvement of the schools, by their united labors[sic] / in supporting it's funds, by supplying the best living / models, casts from the finest specimens of Antiquity for the / students imitation and practice, and by rewards for the / encouragement of distinguished merit. verso ink To these advantages a noble Library has been added containing / the most approved works on Painting Sculpture and / Architecture, opened twice a week to the Members and / Students, and to render this system as perfect as possible / and unite the most approved principles with a diligent prac / =tice, professors of eminent merit in Painting, Architecture / Perspective and Anatomy have been appointed to deliver public / instruction, the professorship or Sculpture has been added within / these few years, which in relation to the vale & beauty / of the art it is intended to illustrate may justly be considered / as a valuable addition and it were devoutly to be wished a person had been raised to this office capable of honoring[sic] / his art by the Eloquence of his discourses and the excellence / of his discourses and the excellence of his practice. / A reference to the advantages of Education & Materials / for study in this Institution will immediately renew / sentiments of gratitude towards our Patron the Prince / Regent for the extensive magnificent and Invaluable / collections of casts from the most sublime works of / Greek sculpture given by H.R.H. to the Academy. / This collection was executed with great skill and / precision from the original marbles to supply their places on the pedestals of their prototypes, when those / originals became the prey of barbarous rapacity - / The pillage was restored by the interference of British / justice and the Regent's magnanimous councils, The / Sovereign pontif in acknowledgement presented these / casts to the Regent, His Royal mind preferring public / advantage to individual gratification, bestowed them on / the Schools of Design to disseminate Taste, promote know / =ledge, an equal gratification to the Artist and Connoisseur / and an invaluable subject of contemplation and Study / to the Painter and Sculptor. reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference agent-153239 adlib-agent-153239 d8e74e61-a4a9-37b7-9e13-326601bb5bec Murray, Charles Fairfax 1916 1912 1916-12 given ? draughtsman reference agent-45771 adlib-agent-45771 b9e1e92c-edf1-3a4c-a4eb-f5fbaae070a3 Flaxman, John Possibly not Flaxman's hand (see watermark and date of death of artist). reference term-32656 adlib-term-32656 71b38be4-d251-39f7-8e2d-a0df2dd6e135 ink reference term-102337 adlib-term-102337 dcd9270a-081e-3495-9cca-52c4cea5a94d inscription 1 reference object-41076 adlib-object-41076 93a20393-de53-3900-89a9-8cc330a8c862
