Overview

Excerpt from The Literary Works of Sir Joshua Reynolds, Vol. 2 of 2: First President of the Royal Academy; To Which Is Prefixed, a Memoir of the Author; With Remarks on His Professional Character, Illustrative of His Principles and Practice The estimation in which we stand in respect to our neighbours, will be in proportion to the degree in which we excel or are inferior to them in the acqui sitiou of intellectual excellence, of which Trade and its consequential riches must be acknowledged to give the means; but a people whose whole attention is absorbed in those means, and who forget the end, can aspire but little above the rank of a barbarous nation. Every establishment that tends to the cultivation of the pleasures of the mind, as distinct from those of sense, may be considered as an inferior school of morality, where the mind is polished and prepared for higher attainments.
