Excerpt from Life of William Etty, R. A, Vol. 1 To express a due sense of the kind attention re ceived personally, in regard to the subject of my inquiries, during some stay made in Yorkshire, would be difficult. I may perhaps be allowed to recognise, generally, the uniform obligingness of all whom I troubled on the matter; and in particular, the in formation obtained from Mr. John Etty, and Mr. Thomas Etty, two of the Painter's surviving brothers; from Dr. Simpson of York, at the cost, on his part, of valuable time; and, as elsewhere mentioned, from Mr. Sunter the bookseller.
