FLAXMAN’S LECTURES ON SCULPTURE

A review of John Flaxman’s (1755–1826) _Lectures on Sculpture_ (1829). The review was republished in _Criticisms on Art_ (1843–4) and in _Essays on the Fine Arts_ (1873). Flaxman had been professor of sculpture at the Royal Academy from 1810. In his _Memoirs of William Hazlitt_ (II. 269) Mr. W. C. Hazlitt gives a number of marginal notes made by Hazlitt upon his copy of Flaxman’s Lectures probably with a view to this article.
