125 ORIGIN OF THE SOCIETY OF ARTS. " To this Society, " a well-informed writer has said, " some of our best artists have owed the most priceless of all services that can be rendered to men of genius at the outset of their career appreciation on the part of an enlightened few introduction under favourable auspices to the many. " The Society of Arts was established in 1754, chiefly by Mr. William Shipley, a drawing-master ; but it was not until 1774 that the institution was fairly located in its ...own premises, built in handsome style by the Adams', in John Street, Adelphi ; the object being denoted by the inscription upon the entablature of the pediment in the front of the mansion, in these words : " Arts and Commerce promoted. " There are many interesting anecdotes of the early awards of this Society. Thus, in 1758, Bacon, the sculptor, received for a small figure of Peace a reward of ten guineas ; and the same artist gained the highest premium upon nine different occasions. In 1761, Nollekens received ten guineas for an alto-relievo of Jephtha's Vow ; and two years later, fifty guineas for a more important piece of sculpture.
