• The following letter to the Royal Academy will explain
the particulars of this melancholy case. The gentleman re-
duced by a shocking calamity to this painful necessity, is Mr.
John Scott, the eminent animal and landscape engraver. To
all persons who have the slightest acquaintance with the works
of living artists, the mention of the name is a sufficient intro-
duction. In the course of an industrious life (and what life
tan be more industrious than the Engraver's?) 111 r. Scott has
• finished several hundred plates, which are all in high estima.•
lion. The Sporting Magazine, Mr. Daniel's Rural Sports,
and other works of a similar nature, owe a large portion of their
reputation to the exquisite delicacy and truth of Mr. Scott's,
graver. liis two large plater—" Breaking Cover," and " the
Death of the Fox," after Gilpin and Remagle—are possessed
by ever lover of Art who prizes pictures of animals and field
*pow. Indeed many good judges conceive, that these plates
are alone sufficient to place Mr. Scott at the top of his profes-
sion in that line. We cannot conceive any thing more distress-
ing, than a man of high talent, who was living respectably by
his Itibours, in a profession of which he is ardently fond, laid.
doily cut 'oft from his means of subsistence, and thrown into
utter despair by an affiection so dreadful as a paralytic stroke.
" To ths,Preitident and Members of the Royal Academy.
" Gentlemen—l am reluctantly compelled by necessity to
makethe pfcsent appeal to your benevolence in behalf of my-
self, a wife, and a numerous family.
4, For many years past, by indefatigable exertions, I have
been enabled by my humble abilities as an Engraver to support
an increasing family, now amounting to nine children, in re-
spectability and comfort, and still enjoyed the cheering prospect
of a continuance in such honourable endeavours as every tilde.
pendent mind delights in. But by one of those awful vial.
cations of Providence, which it is not for us to question, I was
rendered wholly incapable of further professional labours. I
suffered a violent paralytic stroke in March) 1821. My medical
advisers recommended a visit to my native air, as the only means
likely to restore my shattered frame. A stay at Newcastle or
some months affording no change for the better, I returned to
London. In my absence, ray enemies injured my interests by
insidiously lamenting my total. loss of intellect, while they se-
cretly promoted their own selfish and mercenary views. The
consequence of such conduct was, that I have been deprived
of work, amounting to many hundred pounds, which was trans-
ferred to the hands of the men who had thus assailed me in the
hour of affliction.
" In this state of sickneEs and distress I was advised by my
mends to take a house in Regent-greet, 'for the better sale of
my prints, and to let a part furnished ; and although this step
has answered my most sanguine expectations, and would enable
me and my family to live rent-frees, yet the previous embarrass-
ments arising from a total loss of income, had brought me to
such a state, that nothing can save me from inevitable ruin but
the interposing hand or benevolence. To aggravate the ills
with which I am encompassed, my wife has fallen sick from
over exertion to avert them ; and the husband of my only mar-
ried child is consigned to prison for debt, leaving his wife and
two helpless laws an additional burden on me.
" I trust, Gemletnen, this recital of my misfortunes will be
a sufficient apology for the boldness with which I have ventured
to address you. I plead urgent distress, and feel confident I
shall not plead in vain to those who know the difficulties with
which Artists are .often beset, and who have on various occa.
alone stood unitild to their assistance. Although I have not
the honour of being a member of the Royal Academy, I trust I
shall receive the sympathy andcommiseration of its members,
and influence them rescue
ii file froni irretreivable ruin by a
timely donation, which enable me to complete the works
confided, to my execution, again to support my family
.by
toy own xertions. Trustinga_n you will not deny me that assist-
ance, for which I shall feel for ever grateful,.--I remain,
gentlemen, with sentiments'.
of the greatest respect, your °be:
client and humble servant, " JOHN SCOTT."
This appeal was not without its effect. Seconded by Sir
Thomas Lawrence (who has behaved with a feeling and deli-
clic, which double the value of hisigeterity), Mr. Sloane the
architect, and other Gentlemen; have hearts to appreciate
unfferings like those above detailed, the Academy voted to Mr,
,Soott a donation. of thirty guineas to head the subscription.
teWhat adds to the iopesof Mr. Scott's friends on this
easion is, that the aid now sought from, the sympathy of the
lifootseoesaorns and Patrons of Art, and the benevolence of the Pub.
,s. of extend to the support of himself and his family
