Anecdotes of painting in England, with some account of the principal artists and Virtue's catalogue of engravers by Walpole, Horace have been born or resided in England [1876].Walpole,
- When Walpole bought George Vertue's notes in 1758, he had already published his catalog of his father's collection of paintings. He then corrected, added to, and started printing on his own press in 1762. Between 1826 and 1828, Dallaway's edition was published in 5 volumes.
- The Anecdotes are still a valuable resource and compendium for learning about British art history.
- Most of the pictures on the plates are of artists; a few are of benefactors. They are signed or labelled with the name of the source artist and the name of the sitter. J. Reynolds, A.S. Damer, J. Mabuse, H. Holbein, A. More, J. v. Cleeve, C. Kelet, N. Hilliard, I. Oliver, N. Bacon, P. Vansomer, C. Jansen, Van Dyck, Rubens, Diepenbeck, C. Polenburg, G. Jameson, Dobson, Lievens, and P. are some examples of the artists who served as sources.
