In 1869 Arthur Hughes has twenty-four drawings to George Macdonald's _At the Back of the North Wind_, and ten to the earlier chapters of Henry Kingsley's _Boy in Grey_. The art of A. Boyd Houghton is seen in three instances: _Cocky Locky's Journey_ (p. 49), _Lessons from Russia_ (p. 101), and _The Boys of Axleford_ (p. 145). J. Mahoney has about a dozen; H. Herkomer one to _Lonely Jane_ (p. 28); and G. J. Pinwell one to _Black Rock_ (p. 255). Although, following the example set by its parent _Good Words_, it credits the illustrations most faithfully to their artists in a separate index, yet it developed a curious habit of illustrating its serials with a fresh artist for each instalment; and, as their names are bracketed, it is not an easy task to attribute each block to its rightful author. The list which I have made is by my side, but it is hardly of sufficient general interest to print here; as many of the sketches, despite the notable signatures upon them, are trivial and non-representative. Other illustrations in the first volume include one hundred and fifty-five grotesque thumb-nail sketches by W. S. Gilbert to his _King George's Middy_, and many by F. Barnard, B. Rivière, E. F. Brewtnall, E. Dalziel, F. A. Fraser, H. French, S. P. Hall, J. Mahoney, J. Pettie, T. Sulman, F. S. Walker, W. J. Wiegand, J. B. Zwecker, etc. In 1870 Arthur Hughes contributes thirty-six illustrations to _Ranald Bannerman's Boyhood_, by George Mac Donald (who succeeded Dr. Macleod as editor), forty-eight to the continuation of the other serial by the same author, _At the Back of the North Wind_, four to the concluding chapters of Henry Kingsley's _Boy in Grey_, and one to _The White Princess_. A. Boyd Houghton has but two: _Two Nests_ (p. 13), _Keeping the Cornucopia_ (p. 33); _Miss Jane_ 'wandering in the wood' (p. 44) is by H. Herkomer, while most of the artists who contributed to the first volume reappear; we find also E. G. and T. Dalziel, Charles Green, Towneley Green, and Ernest Griset.
