A note appears in manuscript in the British Museum catalogue that " The
Exhibition will end this evening, May 27, 1768."

In this year was published a pamphlet of" Critical observations on the pictures
which are now exhibiting, &c.," printed for J. Murdoch, opposite the New Exchange
Coffee House in the Strand; the preface is as follows:

" As our readers may possibly be at a loss to know, why a great many of the
articles in the Catalogue are passed over without any notice ; it is proper to
acquaint them, that such articles are, in general, either too trifling for criticism, or
placed in the classes of Sculptures, Designs in Architecture , Models^ Drawings, &c,,
none of which come under our plan of observation."

1768 {Special),

On September 30th, 1768, a second exhibition was held in honour of the
King of Denmark. The catalogue is very scarce. I have only seen two, one in the
Anderdon collection in the British Museum, and the other in the National Portrait
Gallery. The title-page is as follows: "A catalogue of the Pictures, Sculptures,
Designs in Architecture, Models, Drawings, Prints, &c., which the Society of Artists
of Great Britain have the Honour to Exhibit to His Majesty the King of Denmark,
at their Room in Spring-Garden, September the thirtieth, 1768."

{There is a note in the British Museum copy: " N,B. This catalogue may be the
only record of this effort of the Artists to do honor to Denmark^)

The exhibition consisted of 225 works.
