Excerpt from Robert Adam, Artist and Architect: His Works and His System It will be seen from the list of societies to whom I retailed my Adam story, that I went pretty far afield, and brought the subject before a fairly representative audience. These were The Society of Arts-who gave me the silver medal for my performance - The Society for the Encouragement of the Fine Arts; The London Society of Architects; The Architectural Societies of, Edinburgh, Manchester, Liverpool, Oxford, Glasgow, Newcastle, Carlisle, Birmingham, Dublin, Hull, York, Bath, Sheffield. These visits were exceedingly interesting. I was always cordially received, and I could see that the hearers were much interested in a subject to which hitherto but little attention had been paid. It was a difficult and even awkward situation to be speaking in presence of experts. I found the best way was to say out plainly what I thought on the matter, and say it boldly, without showing hesitation, or the fear of falling into mistakes or of displaying one's ignorance. My preservation was an unaffected enthusiasm for Adam and all his work, with a native instinct for what was artistic. At these lectures of mine, sometimes the attendance was large, at other times rather moderate; but the students were always attracted; I calculate that on the whole I must have brought the subject within the knowledge of some thousands, and many of these must have worked on, or have been led to take up the matter, to apply it and study it seriously. Nor was I slack in the direction of writing. From the earliest days, old buildings having grace and beauty had always' the most extraordinary attraction for me. I am ashamed to say none of the boasted scenes of nature - the mountains, lakes and plains - appealed to me in the way that a small ancient town did. In a building - particularly of the renaissance type - there seemed to be something more living and suggestive. A well-designed building was company - it seemed to speak. I had a particular delight in the renaissance buildings, on account, I believe, of the sincerity and unobtrusiveness of their ornamentation, with a sort of general delicacy of treat ment. The old classical or Greek elements seemed to me to be a little obtrusive and coarse, also a little uninteresting. The cornices and pediments stood out and claimed attention noisily. To see a picture even of one of these palaces affects one, their ornamentation is so telling, and yet so retiring. Adam's work always offered much of this charm and feeling, its detail invariably interested and attracted the eye, or set the mind in motion. There was always some striking or graceful little arrangement that repaid inspection. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Robert Adam His Brothers: Their Lives, Work Influence on English Architecture, Decoration and Furniture Some years have elapsed since I was invited to become the author Of this book. Then I was filled with admiration for some Of the finest works Of the brothers; for long I had been generally familiar with their best known undertakings and with the collection of engravings of their work. Published in the eighteenth Century and at the beginning of the nineteenth, but these had hitherto failed to convey to me an adequate conception of their remarkable ability as designers. It was not until I saw the actual works. That have been preserved with care in many of the great houses Of this country, that I became able to properly appreciate the value Of their work. And to ascertain the true position of the brothers among the architects and art workers Of their day. In addition to visiting the works Of the brothers in London and the vicinity, I have familiarised myself with examples in the more distant parts Of the provinces, as well as in both Scotland and Ireland. I have also been able, whilst upon the Continent, to pay Visits to most of the places at which both Robert and James Adam Stayed, when engaged abroad upon study and research; and in these and Similar ways I have sought to do what in me lay to render this book more useful and of greater interest.

Robert and James Adam dominated British architecture for the second half of the 18th century. The key period in the development of the Adam style was their time as Grand Tourists in Italy - three years for Robert, four for James. As architects they studied and drew after the Antique, as Grand Tourists they formed a vast collection of paintings and drawings. It was this collection that was sold during the years 1765-1821. The drawings themselves were acquired by Sir John Soane in 1833 for his new Museum in Lincoln's Inn Fields, London. These drawings, together with the brothers' fascinating letters and James's journal, form a unique picture. This book gives an account of the brothers' aspirations and achievements in making their Grand Tours, tracing James's role as well as Robert's. The way in which they composed their architecture and even the manner in which they drew in watercolour and wash was the achievement of these years as Grand Tourists. AUTHOR: Professor Tait is an art historian with a particular interest in 18th-century architecture and landscape. He published a survey of the Soane Adam collection in 1996, Robert Adam, the Creative Mind. He is also the author of Robert Adam: drawings and imagination (1993). SELLING POINTS: *First of a planned series of five illustrated books on the works of the Adam brothers held at Sir John Soane's Museum (25 September 2008 to 14 February 2009), described by Robert Adam as 'the whole Soul, Body and Guts' of their architecture *The text by world-renowned art historian Professor Alan Tait accompanies the stunning reproduction of 1,000 or so drawings, including many that have never been published before *These drawings, together with the brothers' personal letters and James's journal make up a remarkable document for all those interested in 18th-century architecture and Italy 115 colour & 11 b/w illustrations
