The illustrations alone are worth the cost of the book."--_Manchester Guardian._ "Mr. Hayden's book is filled to overflowing with beautiful and most instructive and helpful illustrations, and altogether it is one that will give immense pleasure to collectors, and much information to the admiring but ignorant."--_Liverpool Courier._ LONDON: T.
