TO THE EDITOR OF THE SPECTATOR. 13th January 1841.

SIR—I felt much interested while perusing the article in your paper headed " A Lesson in Drawing." I am very much in the same situation as the little boy you have described, though not quite so young. Can you recommend a work containing sufficient instruction in perspective, form, and light and shade, to enable me to acquire (with a little assistance from a master) a proper know- ledge of drawing, that I may be able to sketch from nature 7 An answer in your next paper will greatly oblige A CONSTANT READER. [Our correspondent should join one of Mr. MOORE'S classes at the University College, for a session.—En.]
