O'Brien, Sir William Hamilton, the Duke of Richmond, Sir George Saville, 'R.J.L.', Ld. Aldborough, Ld. Radnor, C.J. Fox and Ld. Buchan. It is followed by Barry's six Academy lectures on painting, which are devoted to: 1. The History And Progress Of The Art; 2, 3. Design; 4. Composition; 5. Chiaro-scuro; 6. Colouring. The plates in Volume I show: (frontis.)

In the second volume, Barry's Observations and Remarks on works of art, his Fragment on Pandora, his Inquiry into obstructions to the arts in Britain and his Account of his paintings at the Society of Arts are followed by a lengthy Letter detailing his relations with the Royal Academy and a short one about a Naval monument.
