He engages in discussions about the nature of artistic expression, the distinctions of warm versus cold coloring in painting, and the principles of perspective in art. Each letter presents his personal reflections on the evolution of language, expressions of genius, and the various forms of superstition prevalent in society. Through a blend of personal musings and critical analysis, Jackson's letters provide a nuanced view of the cultural and artistic tensions of his time, showcasing the role of the writer as both a critic and a philosopher.
