Extract from Life of J. G. Brown.

"But while engaged in Original Composition, Mr Brown was likewise keeping before him the advantages of improving himself in the technicalities of his Art.  He accordingly took drawing lessons for two years in the Studio of Cummings, a delightful old gentleman whose memory is pleasantly cherished by numbers of his pupils who have brought credit on their teacher by their subsequent efforts.

Cummings' speciality was miniature painting which naturally required both firmness, and delicacy of designing, and it is doubtless to know that Mr Brown was in fact the Exhibition of similar qualities in his own paintings."
