_OF VERE FOSTER'S DRAWING-BOOKS_
_The STANDARD says_--There is no book of instruction in drawing, no
matter what its price, so well calculated to aid self-help as Vere
Foster's books. Even in schools that possess the advantage of apt and
experienced teachers of drawing, their advantages will speedily become
manifest. Mr. Vere Foster has done a public service by the production
of this series.
_The GRAPHIC says_--If any parent who reads these lines has a boy or
girl who wishes to learn how to be an artist, let us boldly recommend
Vere Foster's Drawing-Book. It is not only the cheapest, but by far
the best that we have seen.
