`By far the fullest and most careful account of Girtin is to be found in the early chapters of Mr. Roget’s History of the “Old” Water-Colour Society; and the following study is very greatly indebted to those pages. I wish also to express my cordial thanks for kindness in showing me drawings and in permitting reproductions, to Mr George Girtin, the artist’s grandson, to Mr. Horatio Micholls, and to the Directors of the Whitworth Institute at Manchester.’ L.B.
