For a contemporary review of this exhibition published in 1797 see: The Royal Academy, or, A touchstone to the present exhibition. : By the assistance of which, the merits and demerits of every picture are, with the greatest candour, and much critical labour, made manifest to the observation of the public. These criticisms, now considerably and momentously metamorphosed, meliorated, and augmented, were first promulgated in the Morning post, under the signature of Anthony Pasquin [pseud. of John Williams]. 1797.
