PREFACE.

That the REPERTORY of ARTS and MANUFACTURES is considered by the Public eminently useful, the Proprietors, from its very extensive and long-continued circulation, cannot doubt; they hope to escape the imputation of arrogance in this idea, as the work is not merely the labour of their own minds, but a select collection of every thing which has been thought worthy of publication by all the scientific societies of Europe, and by all the journals and other works which have treated, within the period of its own existence, on the subjects to which it relates.

To a work which has enjoyed the public favour for so many years, and which it is hoped, for the advantage of the commerce of this nation, will be perpetuated, the necessity of a separate General Index, published as often as the number of voJumes shall require it, is obvious. The Proprietors, therefore, now present to the Public, an Index to the Sixteen Volumes of the First Series; and, to render it the more useful, it is made, not a mere Index of Words only, but an Index which, in some degree, analyzes every subject; and, as far as the nature of such a work will admit, exhibits the object or design of the respective papers in a condensed or abridged form; by which the reader is enabled to make a tolerable estimate of their importThis Index, it is presumed, will prove highly satisfactory to those who possess the work to which it refers; and (being a species of abridgment) a source of useful information to others who may wish to consult it only occasionally. It will enable the curious reader to penetrate to the foundation of almost every matter relating to the useful Arts and Sciences that has been made known to the world, through any medium, during the several years in which the Re

Subscription for the Family of Mr. Palm.

The fate of the late unfortunate Mr. PALM cannot be read without emotion by those whose bosoms glow with sentiments of patriotism, justice, or humanity.

This Man, a Bookseller at Nuremburgh, one of the free Imperial Cities of Germany, was suddenly seized by a detachment of French troops, dragged before a Military Commission assembled at Brannau, tried on a charge of having sold Publications reflecting on the Government of Bonaparte, condemned, and executed. He was offered his life, on condition of giving up the names of the Authors whose writings had offended the Despot; but he scorned this breach of confidence, and magnanimously sealed his faith with his blood; bequeathing to those whose lives he had thus saved, at the expense of his own, the task of recording to the world the history of this outrage on the Rights of Nations, the Freedom of the Press, and the Liberty of the Individual, this fresh violation of all those sacred ties, on which a ferocious Usuper has too long, and too successfully, trampled.

Mr. PALM has left a disconsolate Widow, and five destitute Children; by providing for whom, Britons will, at the same time, proclaim their admiration of the principles of this heroic Martyr, their detestation of the Tyrant under whose murderous mandate he fell, and fulfil one of the noblest duties of humanity.

ADVERTISEMENT TO THE SEVENTH
EDITION.

After an experience of thirteen years, and the sale of several Editions, an entirely revised impression of this work is now presented to public candour. There can be, it is presumed, little need to expatiate on the merit and usefulness of a work, which, during so long a time, has enjoyed the favourable opinion and the support of the public. Nevertheless, we may be permitted to suggest, that, if in its first appearance, and under the disadvantages attending a periodical publication, it has been constantly well received, it may now expect to give increased satisfaction to its readers.

The present Edition has been wholly revised by the Author, and many important changes and enlargements are made in various parts. Those articles of the former Edition which were of a temporary nature have been omitted; or such only as were esteemed proper for insertion have been transposed to their more regular places. Among other improvements,

In the first Volume, for instance, the number of LECTURES is increased from Eight to Ten; and, in some of them, not only are the former observations extended, but others wholly new are introduced; and the order of the whole is fresh regulated. The Plates also, from about sixty Plates, are now increased to above double that number; and beside a variety much greater than that of the former Edition, we have

The Artist's Repository, and Drawing introduced Principles, some more simple,

Magazine.

This day is published, by C. TAYLOR, 108, Hatton Garden, London, and sold by all Booksellers, in 4 vols. 8vo. Price al.10s. or in 50 numbers, Price is. each, the Seventh Edition, very carefully revised, of

The ARTIST's REPOSITORY, and DRAWING MAGAZINE.

This Work developes, in a familiar manner, the Principles of the Polite Arts, for

and others more finished, than before, which contribute greatly to the completeness of

the whole.

The Plates throughout the work have been generally revised; such as had suffered in printing have been either re-engraved, or carefully inspected, and restored to their first beauty; and the whole, it is hoped, is now well adapted to the wants of those for whom it is designed of which wants, and of what might suit them, no

estimate could be formed without experience. The preceptive subjects are also arranged in an order somewhat different from what they were before; and each division is kept more distinct: but if any should prefer the placing them, as formerly, at the end of the volume; or to make a separate volume of the Plates, a list is given for that purpose. Not less care has been bestowed on the succeeding volumes.

This Edition has been some time in preparation; and in fact a considerable portion of it has been presented to the Public, in a SUPPLEMENTARY or FIFTH Volume, published since the others, and in the LANDSCAPE MAGAZINE, which has already seen a second Edition. These Works may now be had, by any who wish to add them to the former parts; and by this means we have as much as possible consulted the convenience of our friends who had purchased the former Editions.

It will naturally be supposed that these improvements have been attended with a proportionate expense; nevertheless we Hatter ourselves, the approbation of the public, and the increasing reputation of the work, will compensate every exertion of the Proprietors; especially when it is considered, that they have endeavoured to render it as little expensive to the purchaser as possible.

As this Work, for the convenience of the public, is published in Numbers, it may be proper to inform those who have not before seen it, of the subjects it contains, and of their order when made into Volumes; which is independent of the order of publication.

Vol. I. The Introduction: and the Human Figure.

Vol. II. Perspective, Architecture.

Vol. III. Landscape. A Compendium of Colours, &c. and of their Applications. Painting, Engraving, &c.

Vol. IV. A Dictionary of Terms of Art; with Discourses on certain Principles of Art; and the History of Art, Ancient and Modern.

The Author feels himself impelled by every sentiment of gratitude, not to close this Advertisement, without acknowledging, in the most respectful manner, the favours he has received from the public, as well a regard to this Work as to others: whether it be Vanity or Gratitude, which inclines hima to hope that his labours are in esteem as friendly assistants to Virtue and good Man. ners, he is not solicitous to determine; but he is more and more solicitous, that even the amusements of life should contribute to the confirmation of those excellent priaciples, whose absence no acquisition, however elegant, can compensate.
