Excerpt from Opie and His Works: Being a Catalogue of 760 Pictures; Preceded by a Biographical Sketch

This attempt at registering the works of the Cornish painter, John Opie, originated in a lecture which I was invited to deliver at the Polytechnic Hall at Falmouth in 1854, in order to illustrate a collection of some of his more important works in Cornwall, which were exhibited there in September of that year.

The object being rather to register than to criticize, no pains have been spared to attain accuracy in the details, by inviting owners of his pictures to furnish exact descriptions; and I beg most gratefully to acknowledge the ready kindness with which my enquiries have been met, and information has been offered to me by many persons unknown to me previously, whilst I cannot too warmly thank those personal friends who have more actively encouraged my efforts.

One serious disappointment has, however, occurred. It is well known among the living relations of the Painter, that he was in the habit of entering in a private ledger every picture which he painted after his arrival in London in the autumn of 1781. This ledger was used many years ago as evidence in a suit at law in which Opie's representatives were interested.
