The printed captions of illustrations usually are shown here in upper-case, as they were in the original book. Some illustrations bore signatures, rather than printed captions; those are shown here in lower-case, followed by the full names, taken from the List of Illustrations. Many captions in the original book did not exactly match the words in the List of Illustrations; those differences have been retained here. The symbols in the lists of books at the beginning and end of this eBooks are right-pointing hands. End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Fifty Years Ago, by Walter Besant
