Lamentasi di tanto a ragione, poiché convenevole non solo, ma necessario è giustamente riputato lo studio della storia patria : esso dovrebbe formare, quandocchè fosse, parte delle nostre utili occupazioni, ma, più convenientemente, nel corso della nostra educazione. E' questa una verità sentita da tutti, nè può venir mai contrastata; però, in quanto spetti a noi, vi ha egli un libro, in cui la nostra istoria sia ingenuamente dettata, con brevità di parole, senza molte pretensioni, e (ch'è più) in un linguaggio e modo da piacere, o almeno, da soddisfare alla generalità ? Tale il libro che sarebbe acconcio ali' uopo; ma tale libro, se io avverto bene, manca del tutto.

In process of time almost every Branch of Drawing had been added, and the course had reached fifty numbers. Encouraged by the favourable notice the books received, and especially by the results that were obtained, as shown by the annual competitions (instituted in 1859), Mr. Vere Foster was induced to add a further section of Artistic Copy-Books to his series. These were very successful, and being very moderate in price, they seemed to popularize the taste for Drawing in Water-Colors. Many of the Examples of the earlier Colored Books were beautifully copied by young people in remote parts of the Empire, and who had never even seen Water-Color Drawing-Books until these were published. Description: The item contains several reproductions of drawings and watercolour paintings. https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/119298 https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/119292 Title: The Malta Court at the London Exhibition of 1886 : catalogue of objects exhibited Abstract: THE OBJECTS SENT FROM MALTA ARE EXHIBITED UNDER THE FOLLOWING CLASSES.
