OF A PAINTER :

BEING

A Genuine Biographical Sketch

OF THAT

CELEBRATED ORIGINAL AND ECCENTRIC GENIUS,
THE LATE

MR. GEORGE MORLAND.

Drawn from the tolerably authentic source of more than twenty years' intimate
acquaintance with him, his family, and connections.

TO WHICH IS ADDED,

A COPIOUS APPENDIX,

Embracing every interesting subject relative to our justly admired
English Painter, and his most valuable works.

Author of the Slave Trade, a Poem; an Ode to Sir Jeffery Dunstan, an Heroic
Effusion; with several detached Pieces in Prose and Verse; several of which have
appeared in most of the public Papers, under various signatures, since the Year
1788, to the present Period.

The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together; our virtues
would be proud, if our faults whipp'd them not; and our crimes would despair,
if they were not cherished by our virtues.
