Excerpt from The Turner's Companion The primary object of the author, in offering the turner's companion to the notice of the public, is the hope of explaining, in a clear, concise, and intelligible manner, the rudi ments of this beautiful art; an art immortal ized by the pen of Virgil, practised by the Greeks and Romans, and, as we are told, still existing in those exquisite chef-d'wuvres of former years, so much admired and sought after in our century.
