LIVERPOOL ACADEMY, • -
la THE ENCOURAGEMENT 0? PAINTING, SCULP.
TuitE, AND ARCHITECTURE.
WHETHER a taste far the Vine Art'c naturally
precedes, accompanies, or folloves, the progress of the hu.
nwirlellect in other departments, is t questiol that would open a
wide WI of inquiry; it is sufficient, however, for the present pur-
pose, to observe that the cultivation of these arts has always mark-
ed a contemporary excellence in oth-r pursuits, and that their
reelect and depression is the characteristic of a barbarous age.
The principle of taste in ancient times, was not a narrow selfish
sentiment confined to a few distinguished profieients, whose ta-
bours claimed exclusive admiration, but was diffused and expand-
ed through the community at large, and Most distinctly influenced
Vie manners and habits ot the people • the eye, the ear, the heart.
iclz improved, and not a fragment of their productions remains,
ea does not indiate the purity of their taste.
it what pa.-tieular means this general sentiment, which adjust-
ie:se varying. form.; of fashion to one common standard, was
(07 fostered and dEesed we cannot with certainty decide, but
Reis every resell to surkioe that it was the united result of
assoeii on, and emitiztion. If every improvement in
Set Ativatior, of conside:-ed as a.secret, then every person
its earn eence a new c steer. and to week out his own improvs-
tust bj the efforts rf hi; own genius. If there be not a free and
fneidly commuLdcation lelween the professors of art, then a ge-
rm' a•AI unr,xin *ante will not be promoted, those habits which
tre essectial to a liberal profession will not he forined; e~resy in-
iteidual will become a law to himself, and his productions, even
t! nigh th result of superior ability, will be debased by the pecu-
ku manner of the artist ; even emulation itself, the •strongest
euiternent to excellence, will in such case, be wanting; for, to
awaken this feeling, it Is necessary to have a common object in
new, at which all may direst their aim ; but whilst every artist
disregards the general standard, and guides himself by his own pi..
cnler i,!eas, all rival hip is extinguished, every one purities Ids
oen track, and regards those who difier from him not with jea-
busy but contempt.
Considerations of this nature have undoulitedly led to the esta-
blithment of thri.e schools and academies which, since.the revival
si art, have been formed is various parts of Europe, and which
iase tended in an eminent degree to keep alive the principles of
tate handed down from the ancients, and to apply them to the
Induction of rival excellence. • _ - .

F-r these reasons it is proposed to erect an Andel* in the
'awn of Liverpool, on a plan nearly similar to that of the Royal
Academy it Luildon, and to connect it with similar Institutions
tat are or may be formed in other parrs of the kingdom ; so that
CI: merits of the artists of our own country may be more gene-
r-Ily known, and publicity given to their works—And it is pre-
,aned front the various promises of support which have been al-
ready received, that the exhibitions which will annually take place
lip:antic:7,i, drawings, and sculpture, will reflect the highest cre-
dit on the present state of art, and prove an honour and ornament
'to t ii opulent town.
At a Meeting of the Artists in Liverpool, held at the'Crown
anti Anchor Tavern on the 30th of March, to take into cothide-
:atien the most effectual means of affording instruction and en-
oraragement to young Artists, and of givlng to those-who have
obtained some degree of proficiency in their profession an oppor-
tunity of displaying their works; it was Resolved unanimously,
that an Annual Exhibition would be the most likely method to
obtain that end, by offering the best means of raising a fund ne-
cessary for the establishment of the Academy.
ReNclved, That the laws of the Royal Academy of London he
cal,idered as tht:ground work for the regulation of this Institution.
hesolved,That the utmost endeavoors of this society be exerted
!a udte itself as a br4nch of the Royal Academy, and to obtain
,h?i: sanction altd support.
Resolved, That the Exhibition shall open on Wednesday, the
Ist of August next, and that the works of art shall be received
fur the decision of the Council,'from the P.d to the 14th of July,
.ISio.

Resolved, That the artists of Great Britain be solicited to con-
t.:bete their aid to this institution, by sending their works for
pleJition and s4e
Resolved, That the Gothic Rooms and Gallery its Marble-
°tett are the most suitable for the exhibition, and that the thanks
of the meeting be given to Mr. Thomas Winstanley, for hislibe.
IA offer of the use of theta gratis for the benefit of the society.
Resolved, That these resolutions be made public in the LOW.
dun std Provincial Papers, and that all letters be addressed and
communications made to the Secretary.
Liverpool, April 11, 1810. JOHN BIRD, Secretary.
N.B. The works of art are to be addressed to thsbecietary at
