Note 11 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
“The Mr. Hurleston who went with Mr. Wright of Derby, to Italy in 1773, was my great uncle. He was a very promising young artist, but immediately after his return to this country, was killed by lightning while riding across Salisbury Plain in a storm. His name occurs in the early catalogues of the Royal Academy.”—Extract from a letter from F. Y. Hurleston, President of the Incorporated Society of British Artists, August, 1850.
