It is curious to find 1864 the date of the 'new' illustrated edition of _The Ingoldsby Legends_ (Bentley).[6] Those familiar with contemporary volumes would have hazarded a time ten to fifteen years earlier, had the matter been open to doubt. It is profusely illustrated by Leech, Tenniel, and Cruikshank, but in no way a typical book of the sixties. _English Sacred Poetry of the Olden Time_ (Religious Tract Society, 1864) was issued this year. It contains F. Walker's _Portrait of a Minister_ (p. 184); _The Abbey Walk_ (p. 6), and _Sir Walter Raleigh_ (p. 60), by G. Du Maurier; ten drawings by J. W. North, three by C. Green, three by J. D. Watson, and many by Tenniel, Percival Skelton, and others, all engraved by Whymper; _Our Life illustrated by Pen and Pencil_ (Religious Tract Society, undated), is a similar book with designs by J. D. Watson, Pinwell, C. H. Selous, Du Maurier, Barnes, J. W. North. Aytoun's _Lays of the Scottish Cavaliers_ is another book of 1863 that is noticeable for its illustrations, from designs by [Sir] Noel Paton. _Robinson Crusoe_, with one hundred designs by J. D. Watson (Routledge); Wordsworth's _Poetry for the Young_, illustrated by J. Pettie and J. M'Whirter (Strahan, 1863); C. H. Bennett's _London People_, and the same artist's _Mr. Wind and Madam Rain_ (Sampson Low); _Hymns in Prose_ by Mrs. Barbauld, illustrated by Barnes, Whymper, etc.; Dr. Cumming's _Life and Lessons of our Lord_, with pictures by C. Green, P. Skelton, A. Hunt, and others; yet another _Pilgrim's Progress_, this time with illustrations by H. C. Selous and P. Priolo (Cassell), and another _Robinson Crusoe_, illustrated by G. H. Thomas (Cassell); The _Family Fairy Tales_, illustrated 'by a young lady of eighteen,' signed M. E. E., the first published works of M. Ellen Edwards, who soon became--and deservedly--one of the most popular illustrators of the day; _Homes without Hands_, by J. G. Wood, with animal drawings by F. W. Keyl; _Hacco the Dwarf_, with illustrations, interesting, because they are (I believe) the earliest published work by G. J. Pinwell; and _Golden Light_ (Routledge), with eighty drawings by A. W. Bayes, are some of the rest of the books of this year that must be dismissed with a bare record of their titles.
