About this book
Lectures on Art is a book by Washington Allston, edited by Richard Henry Dana, Jr. The preface by the editor says that, upon the death of Mr. Allston, it was determined by those who had charge of his papers to prepare his biography and correspondence. The preface says there have been frequent calls for a publication of the poems of Mr. Allston and of the Lectures on Art he is known to have written.
The text states that the senses, in this relation, are merely passive, and can do no more than transmit the external in its actual forms. The text says that the despised feeling which the schools have scouted is yet the mother of that science of which they vainly boast. The text has a speaker who jumped into the first stage-coach that passed the door, the object being men, not places.
