Another book of the season worth noting is _Heber's Hymns_ (Sampson Low, 1867). It contains 100 illustrations by T. D. Scott, W. Small, H. C. Selous, Wilfrid Lawson, Percival Skelton, and others; but they can hardly be styled epoch-making. _Christian Lyrics_ (Sampson Low, 1868) (re-issued later in Warne's _Chandos Classics_), contains 250 illustrations by A. B. Houghton, R. Barnes, and others. _The Story of a Feather_ (Bradbury, Evans, and Co. 1867), illustrated by G. Du Maurier, is a book that deserves more space than can be allowed to it. It holds a large number of drawings, some of which, especially the initial vignettes, display the marvellously fecund and dramatic invention of the artist. _The Spirit of Praise_ (Warne, 1867) is an anthology of sacred verse, containing delightful drawings by W. Small (pp. 57, 97, 149, 189), by Paul Gray (p. 89), by G. J. Pinwell (pp. 19, 157), by A. Boyd Houghton (p. 53), and others by J. W. North and T. Dalziel. To 1866 belongs most probably _Gulliver's Travels_, illustrated with eighty designs by 'the late T. Morten,' in which the ill-fated artist is seen at his best level; they display a really convincing imagination, and if, technically speaking, he has done better work elsewhere, this is his most successful sustained effort. _Moore's Irish Melodies_ (Mackenzie) contains many illustrations by Birket Foster, Harrison Weir, Cope, and others. _Art and Song_ has thirty original illustrations engraved on _steel_, which naturally looks very out of date among its fellows. _A New Table-Book_ by Mark Lemon (Bradbury) is illustrated by F. Eltze. Mackay's 1001 _Gems of Poetry_ (Routledge) numbers among its illustrations at least one Millais. Books containing designs by artists whose names appear after the title, may be noted briefly here. _Little Songs for Little Folks_, J. D. Watson; _Æsop's Fables_, with 114 drawings by Harrison Weir (Routledge); _Washerwoman's Foundling_, W. Small (Strahan); _Lilliput Levée_, J. E. Millais, G. J. Pinwell, etc. (Strahan); _Roses and Holly_ (Nimmo); _Moore's Irish Melodies_, Birket Foster, H. Weir, C. W. Cope, etc. (Mackenzie); _Chandos Poets: Longfellow_, A. Boyd Houghton, etc. (Warne); _Things for Nests_ (Nisbet). The popularity of the illustrator at this time provoked a critic to write: 'Book-illustration is a thriving fad. _Jones fecit_ is the pendant of everything he does. The dearth of intellectual talent among book-illustrators is amazing. The idea is thought less of than the form. Mental growth has not kept pace with technical skill'--a passage only worth quoting because it is echoed to-day, with as little justice, by irresponsible scribblers.
