'SUNDAY MAGAZINE' 1868, p. 704 MADAME DE KRUDENER] In 1867 A. Boyd Houghton is well to the fore with twelve illustrations to the serial story by Sarah Tytler, _The Huguenot Family in the English Village_, besides full-page drawings, some in his best manner, to _A Proverb Illustrated_ (p. 33), _Heroes_ (p. 129), _Luther the Singer_ (p. 256), _The Martyr_ (p. 348), _The Last of the Family_ (p. 393), and _A Lesson to a King_ (p. 817). W. Small is only represented twice, with _Wind me a Summer Crown_ (p. 65) and _Philip's Mission_ (p. 752). J. W. North has three admirable drawings, _Foundered at Sea_ (p. 280), _Peace_ (p. 560), _Anita's Prayer_ (p. 609), the first and last of these, both studies of shipwrecks, deserve to be remembered for the truth of movement of the drawing of the waves, and one doubts if any sea-pieces up to the date of their appearance had approached them for fact and beauty combined. Both are engraved by Dalziels in an admirably intelligent fashion. F. W. Lawson's _The Chained Book_ (p. 104) and _The Revocation of the Edict of Nantes_ (p. 496), and _In the Times of the Lollards_ (p. 529), all deal with acrimonious memories of the past. After the scenes of cruelty, persecution, and martyrdom which unfortunately are too often the chief dishes in the _menu_ of a religious periodical, it is a relief to turn to the _Cottar's Farewell_ (p. 417), by J. D. Watson, or to the 'Norths' before quoted. This most straightforward and accomplished study of a dying peasant and his family shows the dignified and simple treatment which the artist at his happiest moments employed with complete mastery.
