_Once a Week_, it is an interesting collection of representative work, with some really first-rate drawing. [Illustration: Frederick Sandys,del. "Oh, what's that in the hollow, so pale I quake to follow? Oh, that's a thin dead body which waits th'eternal term." _Christina Rossetti._] CHAPTER V: OTHER ILLUSTRATED PERIODICALS OF THE SIXTIES. 'CHURCHMAN'S FAMILY MAGAZINE,' 'SUNDAY MAGAZINE,' ETC. In devoting another chapter to periodicals one must insist upon their relative importance; for the time and money expended on them in a single year would balance possibly the cost of all the books mentioned in this volume. In a naïve yet admirable article in the Christmas _Bookseller_, 1862, written from a commercial standpoint, the author says, speaking of some pictures in _Good Words_: 'Some of these, we are informed, cost as much as £50 a block, a sum which appears marvellous when we look at the low price of the magazine'; he instances also the celebrated 'J. B.'[3], 'whose delineations of animals are equal to Landseer. The magazines to be noticed are those only which contain original designs; others, _The National Magazine_, the _Fine Arts Quarterly_, and the like, which relied upon the reproductions of paintings, are not even mentioned. THE CHURCHMAN'S FAMILY MAGAZINE Any periodical containing the work of Millais and Sandys is, obviously, in the front rank, but _The Churchman's Family Magazine_, which started in January 1863, did not long maintain its high level; yet the first half a dozen volumes have enough good work to entitle them to more than passing mention. This, like _London Society_, was published by Mr. James Hogg, and must not be confounded with another of the same price, with similar title, _The Churchman's Shilling Magazine_, to which reference is made elsewhere. In the familiar octavo of its class, it is well printed and well illustrated. The first volume contains two full pages by Millais, _Let that be please_ (p. 15) and _You will forgive me_ (p. 221); three illustrations by E. J. Poynter to _The Painter's Glory_ (pp. 124, 131, 136); three by T. Morten (pp. 137, 432, and 531); five by J. D. Watson, _Only Grandmamma_ (p. 89), _Christian Martyr_ (p. 104), _Sunday Evening_ (p. 191), _The Hermit_ (p. 260), and _Mary Magdalene_ (p. 346); three by Charles Green to _How Susy Tried_ (pp. 57, 64, 71), and one each to _Henry II._ (p. 385), and _An Incident in Canterbury Cathedral_ (p. 482), a drawing strangely resembling a 'John Gilbert.' H. S. Marks is represented by _Home Longing_ (p. 113) and _Age and Youth_ (p. 337); H. H. Armstead by _Fourth Sunday in Lent_ (p. 245) and _Angel Teachers_ (p. 539); J. C. Horsley by _Anne Boleyn_ (p. 136); F. R. Pickersgill by _The Still Small Voice_ (p. 586); G. H. Thomas by _Catechising in Church_ (p. 225), and R. Barnes by _Music for the Cottage_ (p. 289) and _The Strange Gentleman_ (p. 293). Besides these the volume contains others by Rebecca (sister to
