Simeon) Solomon (p. 571), L. Huard, D. H. Friston, H. C. Selous, T. Macquoid, W. M'Connell, T. Sulman, E. K. Johnson (_Spenser_, p. 576), and J. B. Zwecker--a very fairly representative group of the average illustrator of the period. The second half of 1863 (vol. ii.) enshrines the fine Frederick Sandys, _The Waiting Time_, an incident of the Lancashire cotton famine (p. 91). Another of M. J. Lawless's most charming designs, _One Dead_ (p. 275), (reprinted under the title of _The Silent Chamber_), will be found here. M. E. Edwards contributes two, _Ianthe's Grave_ (p. 128) and _Child, I said_ (p. 405); G. J. Pinwell is represented once with _By the Sea_ (p. 257); and T. Morten with _The Bell-ringers' Christmas Story_ (p. 513). The other artists include H. C. Selous, C. W. Cope, F. R. Pickersgill, E. Armitage, A. W. Cooper, E. H. Wehnert, E. H. Corbould, Marshall Claxton, P. W. Justyne, P. Skelton, Paulo Priolo, D. H. Friston, H. Sanderson, Creswick, and T. B. Dalziel. In vol. iii. (1864) M. J. Lawless has _Harold Massey's Confession_ (p. 65); C. Green, _Thinking and Wishing_ (p. 223); G. J. Pinwell, _March Winds_ (p. 232); M. E. Edwards, _At the Casement_ (p. 354); and T. Morten, _The Twilight Hour_ (p. 553). Among other contributors are Florence Caxton, L. Huard, H. M. Vining, W. M'Connell, Rebecca Solomon, H. Fitzcook, John Absolon, Percy Justyne, F. W. Keyl, W. J. Allen. [Illustration: M. J. LAWLESS 'CHURCHMAN'S FAMILY MAGAZINE' VOL. II. p. 275 'ONE DEAD'] [Illustration: FREDERICK SANDYS 'CHURCHMAN'S FAMILY MAGAZINE' VOL. II. p. 91 THE WAITING TIME] In vol. iv. are J. D. Watson's _Crusaders in Sight of Jerusalem_ (p. 557), T. B. Dalziel's _In the Autumn Twilight_ (p. 441), and A. W. Cooper's _Lesson of the Watermill_ (p. 339); Florence Caxton illustrates the serial. And in vol. v. M. E. Edwards's _Deare Childe_ (p. 114), and _The Emblem of Life_ (p. 64), and A. Boyd Houghton's _A Word in Season_ (p. 409), are best worth noting. Vol. vi. has a good study of a monk, _Desert Meditations_ (p. 493), and a _Gretchen's Lament_ (p. 82), by M. E. Edwards. From vol. vii. onwards portraits, chiefly of ecclesiastical dignitaries, take the place of pictures. THE SHILLING MAGAZINE This somewhat scarce publication is often referred to as one of the important periodicals of the sixties, but on looking through it, it seems to have established its claim on somewhat slender foundation. True, it contains one of Sandys' most memorable designs--here reproduced in photogravure from an early impression of the block, a peculiarly fine drawing--to Christina Rossetti's poem, _Amor Mundi_. It was reproduced from a photograph of the drawing on wood in the first edition of Mr. Pennell's admirable _Pen Drawing and Pen Draughtsmen_, and in the second edition are reproductions by process, not only of Mr. Sandys' original drawing as preserved in a Hollyer photograph, but of preliminary studies for the figures.
