Charlotte Bronte to her publisher W. S. Williams, 13 July 1848:
'I have just read your article in the "John Bull"; it very clearly and fully explains the cause of the difference obvious between ancient and modern paintings. I wish you had been with us when we went over the Exhibition and the National Gallery: a little explanation from a judge of art would doubtless have enabled us to understand better what we saw'.
