Vi PREFACE.

dered the less necessary here, as they have been already
fully entered into and explained, in two works, compris-
ing portions of the series to which the present treatise
belongs.* One of these, written by the Author of this
hook, in conjunction with his son, treats of the elementary
port ion of landscape painting in water-colours, and in the
other, the subject is continued through its advanced
stages by Mr. Aaron Penlcy, who has laid down, in a full
and clear manner, all the details of colouring, and the
rules for its manipulation, with which it is requisite for
the landscape-sketchcr to become acquainted.

The instruction attempted to be conveyed in the
following pages, is the result of many years' active
practice of the Author's profession ; and his hopes will be
realized if he should be hereby instrumental in assist-
ing the student in his endeavour to acquire the power of
" Sketching from Nature."
