He laid it down as a truism that particular methods of study are of little consequence, and that little of the art can be taught.
The love of method, he considered as often arising from, a disposition to mental idleness, whilst at the same time he acknowledged that " Pittori improvisator!, " as he terms them, are apt to be careless and incorrect, and are very seldom either 318 MEMOIRS OF original or striking ; defects proceeding from their not paying the proper attention to the works of Nature
...and the great masters.
From some observations in the early part of this discourse, it seems as if its subject had been, in some measure, pressed upon Sir Joshua, or rather perhaps hinted to him ; for in taking a view of the " Method of Study, " he expressly said that all the necessary information had already been given in his former discourses, and that any other would merely consist of plausible but ostentatious amplification, and would therefore be totally useless. On this point he made an observation highly worthy of general notice in this educating age.
