510 0 # $a A.C. Grayling, The quarrel of the age: the life and times of William Hazlitt (2000); J. Simon, 'James Northcote's account book 1770-1830', in Walpole Society, 58 (1996), p.21-125; S. Jones, Hazlitt (1989); E. Fletcher, ed., Conversations of James Northcote R.A. with James Ward (1901).
520 2 # $a Northcote had published several articles and memoirs himself, before Hazlitt's vivid accounts of his conversations appeared in various journals between 1826 and 1829 and in the present volume. The revelation of some of his derogatory speculations about artists and others is said to have annoyed Northcote; but the Conversations probably do provide some accurate information on the artists of Britain in the age of Reynolds and Lawrence. Unfortunately the publication contains no index.
