In 1862 Walker concludes his _Philip_ series with eight full-page drawings, including the superb _Philip in Church_, of which he made a version in water-colours that still ranks among his most notable work. The first two illustrations to Miss Thackeray's _Story of Elizabeth_ are also from his hand. Millais is represented by _Irené_, a kneeling figure (v. p. 478), and by the powerfully conceived _Bishop and the Knight_ (vi. p. 100), and the first four illustrations to Trollope's _Small House at Allington_. Richard Doyle continues the series of _Pictures of English Society_; but now that their actuality no longer impresses, we fail to discover the special charm which endeared them to contemporaries. F. Sandys is represented by _Manoli_ (vi. p. 346), the second of his three contributions, which deepens the regret that work by this fine artist appeared so seldom in this magazine. But the most notable feature this year is found in the drawings contributed by Frederick Leighton, then not even an Associate of the Royal Academy, which illustrate George Eliot's _Romola_. With these the _Cornhill_ departed from its ordinary custom, and gave two full-page illustrations to each section of the serial month by month. Consequently in the volumes in 1862 and 1863 the usual two-dozen plates are considerably augmented. In 1863 twelve more of the _Romola_ series complete Leighton's contributions to the magazine. Millais has twelve more to _The Small House at Allington_, Walker is represented by one drawing, _Maladetta_, another to _Mrs. Archie_, two to _Out of the World_, and one more to The _Story of Elizabeth_. Du Maurier, destined to occupy the most prominent position in later volumes, appears for the first time with _The Cilician Pirates_, _Sibyl's Disappointment_, _The Night before the Morrow_, and _Cousin Phillis_. Possibly a drawing entitled 'The First Meeting' to a story, _The ... in her Closet_, is from his hand; but the style is not clearly evident, nor is it included in the _Cornhill Gallery_ which, published in the next year, drew its illustrations from the few volumes already noticed, with the addition of five others from the early numbers of 1864. Another drawing, signed A. H., to _Margaret Denzil_, is by Arthur Hughes.
