boldly on the page, so that the general effect is grey and colourless. As to the personality of the designers and cutters we know nothing. Day at one time was anxious to get leave to keep more than the permitted maximum of four foreigners in his employment, but we have really no sufficient ground for arguing either for an English or a foreign origin for these illustrations. A few years after this, in 1569, when the new edition of the _Book of Martyrs_ was in preparation, Day issued another illustrated book: _A christall glasse of christian reformation, wherein the godly maye beholde the coloured abuses used in this our present tyme. Collected by Stephen Bateman_, better known as the "Batman uppon Bartholomew," i.e. the editor by whom the _De Proprietatibus Rerum_ of Bartholomaeus Anglicus was "newly corrected, enlarged, and amended" in 1582. The _Christall glasse of christian reformation_ is a dull book with dull illustrations, which are of the nature of emblems, made ugly by party spirit. A more interesting book by the same author and issued in the same year was _The travayled Pylgrime, bringing newes from all partes of the worlde_, to which Bateman only put his initials and which was printed not by Day, but by Denham. This, although I cannot find that the fact has been noted, is largely indebted both for its scheme and its illustrations to the _Chevalier Delibere_ of Olivier de la Marche, though the woodcuts go back not to those of the Gouda and Schiedam incunabula, but to the Antwerp edition of 1555, in which these were translated into some of the most graceful of sixteenth century cuts. Needless to say, much of the grace disappears in this new translation, although the cutting is more effective than in the _Book of Martyrs_.
