Rossetti summarizes the life and work of Sir George Henry, President of the Royal Academy of Scotland. Beyond the listing of Henry's major works, Rossetti likens his style to that of Scottish painter Sir David Wilkie.
Rossetti notes that Harvey was elected to the presidency over the presumed favorite, Sir J. Noel Paton, whom Rossetti suggests should now be elected to the post.
