Volume v. also contains but two, _Tannhäuser_ (p. 211) and _Swing Song_ (p. 434), a small boy in a Spanish turban swinging. Volume vi. houses a dozen: _Schwerting of Saxony_ (p. 43), _The Battle of the Thirty_ (p. 155), _The Child of Care_ (pp. 2, 39), five designs for Miss Martineau's _Sister Anne's Probation_ (pp. 309, 337, 365, 393, 421), _Sir Tristem_ (p. 350), _The Crusader's Wife_ (p. 546), _The Chase of the Siren_ (p. 630), and _The Drowning of Kaer-is_ (p. 687). The seventh volume contains eleven examples by this artist: _Margaret Wilson_ (p. 42), five to Miss Martineau's _Anglers of the Don_ (pp. 85, 113, 141, 169, 197), _Maid Avoraine_ (p. 98), _The Mite of Dorcas_ (p. 224), (which is the subject of the Academy picture, _The Widow's Mite_ of 1876; although in the painting the widow turns her back on the spectator), _The Parting of Ulysses_ (p. 658), _The Spirit of the Vanished Island_ (p. 546), and _Limerick Bells_ (p. 710), a design of which a eulogist of the artist says: 'the old monk might be expanded as he stands into a full-sized picture.' In the eighth volume _Endymion on Latmos_ (p. 42), a charming study of the sleeping shepherd, is the only independent picture; the other nine are by way of illustration to Miss Martineau's _The Hampdens_ (pp. 211, 239, 267, 281, 309, 337, 365, 393, 421, 449). These are delightful examples of the use of costume by a great master. Neither pedantically correct, nor too lax, they revivify the period so that the actors are more important than the accessories.
