Illustrated from original designs by F. A. Lydon. One of the best of this prolific artist's works. The engravings were executed by Benjamin Fawcett, a Yorkshire printer who "was in his chosen field unsurpassed by anyone, including Baxter; he set himself, and all his work people, the very highest standards that were possible"--McLean. The book contains a frontispiece, title-page and 28 plates in color.
