I am just returned from Sir F Palgrave
where I have been to put the following plan
before him, for his opinions & advice. The plan is
as follows. I have for more than 2 years wished
to publish or rather to have published for me
a work in Mezzotint similar in effect to
Turner's 'Liber Studiorum'. The times & my
circumstances were against it. The annuals
are now passé, & unfashionable.
