The author is writing about a book published in England in 1855 entitled Route From Liverpool to Great Salt Lake Valley. The book 'was illustrated with thrity-six steel engravings and nine wood cuts prepared from sketches made by Fredrick Piercy...' Mr. Piercy, an accomplished artist, made the trip from England to Salt Lake and back again in 1853-55 and prepared the sketches himself, which 'make up what is probably the first and only journal of drawings made by such a competent craftsman over the route.'
