Excerpt from Life of Thomas Stothard, R. With Personal Reminiscences In the year 1836, two articles of mine, entitled "Reminiscences of Stothard, " were published in the May and June numbers of Blackwood's Magazine. In 1845, Mr. Alfred Stothard, son of the late historical painter, and himself a medallist of great ability, palled some little time with us at Tavistock. During his visit, he expressed his regret that he had not been made acquainted with my intention to write the articles on his father, as he could have furnished me with some additional information. These, therefore, I revised, corrected, and re-modelled, and embodied in them not only the particulars I received from so authentic a source, but added also many from my own recollections, till at length, the work grew so much upon me, that I determined to throw it into a more biographical form. After I had thus enlarged and completed my talk, it was suggested to me by Mr. Murray, that it would be desirable, if possible, to obtain some original letters of Stothard.
