"_The illustrations of this volume ... are of quite sterling and
admirable art, of a class precisely parallel in elevation to the
character of the tales which they illustrate; and the original
etchings, as I have before said in the Appendix to my 'Elements of
Drawing,' were unrivalled in masterfulness of touch since Rembrandt
(in some qualities of delineation, unrivalled even by him).... To
make somewhat enlarged copies of them, looking at them through a
magnifying glass, and never putting two lines where Cruikshank has
put only one, would be an exercise in decision and severe drawing
which would leave afterwards little to be learnt in
schools._"--_Extract from Introduction by_ JOHN
RUSKIN.
