520 2 # $a This work was written in response to attacks by J. Elmes and B. R. Haydon in Annals of the Fine Arts, nos. 8 & 9. Haydon's feud with the Academy had begun in 1815, when his painting, 'Dentatus', had been exhibited in what he regarded as an unfavorable position. In the Annals of the Fine Arts, edited by his friend the architect James Elmes from 1816 to 1819, he had a vehicle in which to express his dissatisfaction.

Carey, too, believed in encouraging British artists. Since 1801 he had been publishing books and pamphlets advocating annual art exhibitions - under the aegis of the national and regional institutions.
