. Sketches of great painters for young people. 90, when he first began to exhibit at theAcademy, and 1802, when he became a member, Turnerexhibited seventy-three pictures, and during this timeforty-four engravings were made from his works.These facts show how productive he had been, and howgreat an interest his pictures had excited.
