This scheme was set forth in a letter written by Henry Warren, the President of the " New Society," to Frederick Tayler, who was then at the head of the " Old Society." In this letter, which is quoted in Mr. Roget's history, reference is made to the rumoured intention of the Government to provide the Royal Academy with a site for an exhibition building, and a suggestion is advanced that the claims of the water-colour painters to consideration ought to be put forward in the event of any such gra...nt being decided upon. The Academy was at that time in possession of rooms in the National Gallery viii R 1 OF PAINTERS IN WATER COLOURS building in Trafalgar Square, and as these rooms were required for the proper accommodation of the national collections, negotiations had been opened with a view of determining in what form it was to be compensated for its approaching ejection. The idea favoured by the Government officials was that the Academy should be assigned, on certain conditions, a piece of ground on which it could erect its own rooms ; and it was the probability that this idea would be adopted that induced Warren to invite the co-operation of the body over which Tayler presided.
