Extract from the Minutes. SAMUEL LEWIS, Secry. pro tem : To the Cultivators and Encouragers of the fine Arts. * In communicating our ideas to you as fellow labourers, we are persuaded that we (hall make a fuccefsfull appeal to feelings on your part, correspondent with those which have dictated this address on ours. Similarity of views, and unity of interest, entitle us to a claim on your attention, while we un fold the motives which juftify the esta blishment of our Institution, designed to fofter the fine arts. The Philosopher has declared, and experience confirmsthedeclaration, that man owes his greatness to the principle of association. Who knows not that genius often has its birth in obfeurity ; that it as often courts the (hade, where it may languish, or expire, nalefs invi ted into notice by fomefriendly patron ; and when brought into view, is admi red and rewarded. Until within a few years past, the e legant art of painting has been in its in fancy in this country, and this has ari sen, not from a poverty ofgenius in the American character, for we need only to cast our eye on England, and fee there in the foremoft ranks, a Wejl, a Coptly, and a Trumbull; but from the want of those means of patronage, which the leisure and the opulence of Briton* have put into their hands. This leisure & this opulence has alrea dy crowned the efforts of industry in many of our citizens, and is every day gaining aecefiions in theincreafe of their numbers. This in short, appears to be the crilis molt favorable to the aus picious birth of our Institution, combi ning in its plan individual emolument, with national reputation. It has too frequently been the re proach of men of genius, that in the the treatment of one another, instead of yielding to that benevolence which true genius ought to inspire, they too often, gi»* themlelves up to an ignoble spirit ofjer.loufy and ill-will: Strangers to the virtues of each other, they have too hastily furiendered themfclvrstoimprefii ons, illiberal and unsocial. This institu tion, inviting Foreign, as well as Ame rican Artists, to a friendly and frequent communication of sentiments will dispel unfoundedfu'fpicions, «iore the offspring of a hasty mind tl"an of malevolence. Such arethe leading motives jhat have induced us to furmthisinftitution,which we have denominated the Columbiannum: or American Academy of Painting, Sculp ture, Slrchitedurc, ana Engraving. — Should it meet with your approbation, and receive the general encouragement of our brethren we anticipate effedU, the rftoft flattering and animating to the vigorous profecutien of our pursuits. In awakening the public attention, we shall be convincedofthe neceflityof sum moning all our powers, that such atten tion may be followed by gratification. The impreffionof this in its turn, by the patrons of taste, may be expc&ed to excite amongmany of us, an cnthufiafm, the parent of every thing great in the Arts. In conformity with the foregoing i deas, we have the pleasure to announce to you that thefchools for drawing from plaiiler and natural figures have already commenced; as being considered the, most important part of our Institution, for cultivating the rising genius of the American Republic. We have hasten ed to this undertaking, on small means, with the hope that we (hall not want the aid of the Public to t ncreafe our stock, and extend the means of improve ment ; and we invite those whose talents lead them to the study of the tine arts, to make their applications for adrmfllon.
