First Impressions

This week's competition, in which you have to identify a book from its opening sentence, is from a 19th-century essayist who originally wanted to be a philosopher or a painter:

"There is a pleasure in painting which none but painters know."

The winner receives a £25 Blackwell's voucher and the closing date is September 25.
