The author, an historical painter was employed by Boydell to make drawings from the old masters for his publications, and the Society of Antiquaries for the same purpose. "He published in 1808 (this title), intended as a supplement to Walpole; but in his facts he was too accurate to please his contemporaries, and consequently the work and its author were much decried."
