*** _These are the designs which Mr. Ruskin has praised so
highly, placing them far above all Cruikshank's other works of
a similar character. So rare had the original book (published
in 1823-1826) become, that £5 to £6 per copy was an ordinary
price. By the consent of Mr. Taylor's family a New Edition is now
issued, under the care and superintendence of the printers who
issued the originals forty years ago. A few copies for sale on
Large Paper, price 21s._
