In vol. iii. 1863 there is a drawing, _The Confession_ (p. 37), engraved by Dalziel, that is possibly by Pinwell. Three by T. Morten, _After the Opera_ (p. 39), _A Struggle in the Clouds_ (p. 287), and _Ruth Grey's Trial_ (p. 59), are good, if not the best of this artist's work. Two by George Du Maurier (pp. 209, 216) employ, after the manner of the time, a sort of pictured parable entitled _On the Bridge_ and _Under the Bridge_. _Our Honeymoon_, by Marcus Stone, is interesting. _Struck Down_ (p. 106) and _The Heiress of Elkington_ (p. 345), both by J. D. Watson, are as good as his work is usually. _A May Morning_ (p. 428), by George H. Thomas, is also worthy of mention, but the rest, by E. K. Johnson, E. H. Corbould, W. Brunton, W. Cave Thomas, Louis Huard, etc., are not peculiarly attractive. The concluding volume for 1863 has a very dainty figure, _Honey-Dew_, by M. J. Lawless (p. 554). The three Du Mauriers are _A Little Hop in Harley St._ (p. 469), _Lords: University Cricket Match_ (p. 161), and the _Worship of Bacchus_ (p. 192) at first sight so curiously like a Charles Keene that, were it not for the signature, one would distrust the index. Nine drawings by T. Morten to _The First Time_ are good, especially those on p. 180, and _A First Attempt_, Charles Green (p. 205), is also worth notice. Two drawings by G. J. Pinwell, _Wolsey_ (p. 311) and another (p. 319), are characteristic. For the rest, C. H. Bennett, Louis Huard, Felix Darley, W. M'Connell, W. Brunton, Matt Morgan, Florence Claxton, T. Godwin, Waldo Sargent, George Thomas, and C. A. Doyle, provide _entrées_ and sweets a little flavourless to-day, although palatable enough, no doubt, at the time. In 1864, M. J. Lawless's _Not for You_ (p. 85); a fine J. D. Watson, _The Duet_ (p. 268); _Charley Blake_, by G. Du Maurier (p. 385); _At Swindon_ (p. 41), M. E. Edwards, and _Little Golden Hair_, by R. Barnes, are the only others above the average. Adelaide Claxton, W. M'Connell, H. Sanderson, and J. B. Zwecker provide most of the rest. The second half of the year (vol. vi.) is far better, contains some good work by the 'talented young lady,' M. E. E. (to quote contemporary praise); that her work was talented all students of the 'sixties' will agree. _A Holocaust_ (p. 433), _Dangerous_ (p. 353), _Gone_ (p. 185), _Magdalen_ (p. 553), _Milly's Success_ (p. 269), and _Unto this Last_ (p. 252) are all by Miss Edwards. A fine Millais, _Knightly Worth_ (p. 247), and a good J. D. Watson, _Blankton Weir_ (p. 416), would alone make the volume memorable. C. A. Doyle has some of his best drawings to _A Shy Man_, and G. H. Thomas and others maintain a good average. Rebecca Solomon has a good full page (p. 541). In the extra Christmas number you will find E. J. Poynter's _A Sprig of Holly_ (p. 28), J. D. Watson's _Story of a Christmas Fairy_ (p. 24), a notable design, besides capital illustrations by Du Maurier, R. Dudley (_The Blue Boy_), R. Barnes, and Marcus Stone.
