Excerpt from Methodism in Macclesfield
A severe judge will affirm, perhaps, that some of the pictures are too large and that others are too small; that, in some cases, colours have been used which are too glowing, and in others shades have been intro duced which are too sombre he will be unable, it may be, to discover any sufficient reason why some portraits have been placed in conspicuous positions and others almost out of sight he will, most likely, search in vain for some he expected to find, and may observe others which he' is of Opinion had better have been left undis turbed in family cabinets. Perhaps no critic will be fully satisfied. It is to be hoped, however, that the collector will obtain credit for industry and honesty of purpose.
