15*8 History of the Society of Dilettanti
John Peter
Gandy.
'Resolutions
as to
publication.
Congratula-
tions to
members of
mission.
according to their own wishes, on which shall be engraven an
Inscription to be furnished to them by the Committee expressive of
the satisfaction the Society feels at their successful and laborious
exertions during their late voyage.'
John Peter Gandy, one of the draughtsmen in
question, was a younger brother of Joseph Michael
Gandy, a well-known architect. On his return from
Greece he was patronized by Lord Elgin, and
afterwards associated in further works by Gell and
Wilkins. He inherited from a friend, a Mr. Deering,
an estate in Buckinghamshire, and assumed his name.
He became M.P. for Aylesbury, and was elected
a member of the Society of Dilettanti in May, 1830.
The expenses of this mission to Ionia had proved
rather heavy, and as it was not the only matter which
the Society had in hand, the funds available for the
purpose of publication proved insufficient. It became
necessary therefore to appeal to the liberality of the
members to further this important sequel to the
mission. It was resolved by the joint Committee
' 1. That it will be impossible to proceed with any despatch in
the publication of the Drawings Measures & Inscriptions, collected
by the Gentlemen employ'd by the Society in the late expedition to
Greece & Asia Minor, without some aid from the members of the
Society.
' 2. That it will be proper to print for the use of The Members
(and the information of the public) A short report of the proceedings
of the Mission.
'3. That this report do consist—1. of the Abstract of their
Journies published by them in the Zante Newspaper & 2^ of
a List of the Drawings plans and maps made by the Mission, 3rd
of the Report drawn up by Mr. Wilkins on the value & importance
of these Drawings, 4* of a general Estimate of the expenses
necessary for the publication in a manner worthy of them, & suitable
to the honour of The Society; 5* Of the Report read by the
Secretary at the last meeting of the Society on that subject.'
It was further resolved by the said committee (or
Ionian Committee) at a meeting in 1814, at which
Mr. William Gell was present,
John Peter
Gandy.
