LETTER XIX.<br />

TO J. H. GRAHAM, ESQ.<br />

MY DEAR GEAHAM, ROME, April St!i.,W19.<br />

If my accounts of pictures and things<br />

please you, I am content.<br />

I keep no journal,<br />

and do not attempt to interest the many,<br />

A<br />

perception of the beautiful characterises<br />

those who differ from ordinary men, and the<br />

number of those who can appreciate it is not<br />

large enough to cover the expense of printing<br />

my observations.<br />

I wish I could devote more<br />

time to the contemplation of the works of art<br />

with which Rome abounds; but our short<br />

stay, and the state of my health, hardly<br />

admits of it.<br />

Walking through the gaUeries,

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
