Excerpt from Life of Benjamin Robert Haydon, Vol. 1 of 3: Historical Painter, From His Autobiography and Journals The principal additions made to this Edition are a paper (Appendix I.) on the indications of long-standing disease of brain afforded by post mortem examination of Haydon's head, - an additional letter of Wordsworth, at the end of the Third Volume, - some remarks by Mr. Watts on the question of the public employment of artists, - and a letter (also printed in Appendix I.) from Mr. Bewicke, Haydon's pupil and model for Lazarus, giving an interesting account of the painting of that picture. Besides these additions, many trifling errors have been corrected, and some inaccuracies in Haydon's recording, referred to by the Quarterly Reviewer, are noticed in foot-notes.
