This, another periodical of the same class, started on September 12, 1868, but unlike its fellows relied at first solely upon a double-page political cartoon. From the second number these were contributed by J. Proctor until and after April 17, 1869, when other pictures were admitted. With the 31st of July another hand replaces Proctor's vigorous work. The volume for 1870 contains many woodcuts (I use the word advisedly), unintentionally primitive, that should please a certain school to-day. Whether the journal ceased with its fourth volume, or lasted into the seventies, the British Museum catalogue does not record, nor is it worth while to pursue the inquiry further. THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS To notice this important paper in a paragraph is little better than an insult, and yet between a full monograph (already anticipated partially in Mr. Mason Jackson's _The Pictorial Press_) and a bare mention there is no middle course. As a rule the drawings are unsigned, and not attributed to the artists in the index. The Christmas numbers, however, often adopt a different method, and print the draughtsman's name below each engraving, which is almost always a full page. In that for 1865 we find Alfred Hunt, George Thomas, S. Read, and John Gilbert, all regular contributors, well represented. In the Christmas number of 1866 there is Boyd Houghton's _Child's Christmas Carol_, and other drawings by Corbould, S. Read, J. A. Pasquier, Charles Green, Matt Morgan, and C. H. Bennett. OTHER ILLUSTRATED WEEKLIES _The Illustrated Times_, first issued in October 1855, maintained a long and honourable effort to achieve popularity. A new series was started in 1867, but apparently also failed to gain a footing. The artists included many men mentioned frequently in this volume. The non-topical illustrations occasionally introduced were supplied chiefly by M. E. Edwards, Adelaide and Florence Claxton, Lieut. Seccombe, P. Skelton, and T. Sulman. Yet a search through its pages revealed nothing sufficiently important to notice in detail. _The Illustrated Weekly News_ and _The Penny Illustrated Weekly News_ are other lost causes, but the _Penny Illustrated Paper_, which started in 1861, is still a flourishing concern; yet it would be superfluous to give a detailed notice of its work. _Pan_ (date uncertain[5]), a short-lived sixpenny weekly. Its cover was from a design by Jules Chéret. Facsimiles of _A Head_ by Lord Leighton, and _Proud Maisie_ by Frederick Sandys, appeared among its supplements. THE GRAPHIC
