Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from George Inness, N. A<br/><br/>Young Inness's parents settled in Newark. N. J., while he was a.boy. In the latter city, at the age of about fourteen years, he received some, apparently not veryregular. Lessons in drawing from an old drawing-master named Barker. The condi tion of his health probably did not permit of his assiduous application to his instruo tions. But he himself considered that he had secured a fair groundwork for the future from his pedagogue of the pencil. His one ambition. While under his tutelage. Was to some day learn to draw as well as his master. And. As he once naively remarked to me. I think the best thing that can happen to a boy is to have some honest ambi tion stirred up in him. No matter how tri?ing it may be. That the ambition was not tri?ing in this case. Circumstances abundantly proved.
