Book Description
Excerpt from Sir Thomas Lawrence's Cabinet of Gems: With Biographical and Descriptive Memorials The father of Sir Thomas Lawrence seems to have united, to some glaring errors and weaknesses of personal character, many estimable and praiseworthy qualities, which in a great measure redeemed his venial faults. The bane of his early career, however, was evidently that( so called) personal vanity, which, shewing itself under another and more noble form in his gifted son, cast a glory round that name which at first it seemed destined to consign prematurely'to poverty and disgrace. It was, however, chiefly to his mother that Sir Thomas owed the finer qualities of his genius and intellect. But of this hereafter.
