practised by the 〃new American School。〃
〃Of making many books；〃 'twais said； 〃There is no end；〃 and who

Footnotes：
｛1｝ This is the technical name for people who 〃illustrate〃 books with
engravings from other works。 The practice became popular when
Granger published his 〃Biographical History of England。〃
｛2｝ Mr。 William Blades； in his 〃Enemies of Books〃 （Trubner； 1880）；
decries glass…doors； 〃the absence of ventilation will assist the formation
of mould。〃 But M。 Rouveyre bids us open the doors on sunny days； that
the air may be renewed； and； close them in the evening hours； lest moths
should enter and lay their eggs among the treasures。 And； with all
deference to Mr。 Blades； glass…doors do seem to be useful in excluding
dust。
｛3｝ 〃Send him back carefully； for you can if you like； that all
unharmed he may return to his own place。〃
｛4｝ No wonder the books are scarce； if they are being hacked to
pieces by Grangerites。
｛5｝ These lines appeared in 〃Notes and Queries；〃 Jan。 8； 1881。
｛6｝ In the Golden Ass of Apuleius； which Polia should not have
read。
｛7｝ M。 Arsene Houssaye seems to think he has found them； marked
on the fly…leaves with an impression； in wax； of a seal engraved with the
head of Epicurus。
｛8｝ This chapter was written by Austin Dobson。DP
｛9｝ The recent Winter Exhibition of the Old Masters （1881）
contained a fine display of Flaxman's drawings； a large number of which
belonged to Mr。 F。 T。 Palgrave。
｛10｝ By Mr。 Cosmo Monkhouse。
｛11｝ These words were written before the 〃Art Journal〃 had
published its programme for 1881。 From this it appears that the present
editor fully recognises the necessity for calling in the assistance of the
needle。
｛12｝ The example； here copied on the wood by M。 Lacour； is a very
successful reproduction of Clennell's style。
｛13｝ He also illustrated the 〃Memoirs of Joseph Grimaldi。〃 But
this was simply 〃edited〃 by 〃Boz。〃

｛14｝ The reader will observe that this volume is indebted to Mr。
Crane for its beautiful frontispiece。
｛15｝ Since this paragraph was first written an interesting paper on
the illustrations in 〃Scribner；〃 from the pen of Mr。 J。 Comyns Carr； has
appeared in 〃L'Art。〃
