NOTICES.
" We could not have believed it possible to add to the
high estimation in which we have always held the most grace-
ful artist of our age and country. Yet this series has en-
hanced it, and so we venture to affirm it will be with all who
examine it. The prints are so full of beauty ; so natural,
and yet so abundant in grace ; so freely conceived, and so
admirably composed ; the figures being so faultlessly grouped,
and every detail so applicable and so fitting, that we must
Class the collection far above any book-illustrations of our
time. The volume of old John Bunyan, so embellished, is
worth a score of guadily-dressed quartos, that seem dwindled
by a sense of their own worthlessness. The drawings, more-
over, have been engraved as they ought to have been ; it is
absolutely refreshing in these days of stipple-poverty to find
such men as Mitchell, Goodall, It. Graves, Sangster, Watt,
and Stocks, engraving book-plates, and reminding us of the
great old man whose pencil was so eloquent, whose concep-
tions were akin to inspiration, and who has left us a store of
pictorial lessons as great in extent as they are wonderful for
wisdom. Mr. Seeley has entitled himself to the gratitude of
all who love art, by raking up these hidden treasures and
placing them where tens of thousands may learn from them."
—Art Union, December, 1839.
The lamented Stothard's charming and characteristic
designs from Bunyan's immortal work."—Literary Gazette,
December 28th, 1839.
" This is one of the most elegant volumes which have met
our eye for a long time. It is beautifully printed, and the
illustrations, which are numerous, comprising engravings en
.copper (steel) and wood, are of the very first excellence. The
former are from the designs of Stothard, and they are, in our
opinion, his chefs d'auvra."—Asiatic Journal, ;Tan., 1840.
" This is, without exception, the most beautifully-illus-
trated edition of any standard work with which we are ac-
quainted ; and when we mention that it is embellished by an
admirably engraved series of no fewer than seventeen of the
noblest productions of the pencil of our British Raffaelle, the
late lamented Mr. Stothard, and is printed and edited in a
style worthy alike the name of J ohn Bunyan, and the exquisite
engravings with which the work is embellished, our readers
will not consider praise so unqualified as hyperbolical. As a set
of book illustrations, executed in the hey day of the painter's
Power, they are unrivalled by any series of engravings which
have lately fallen under our notice."—United Service Ga-
zette, January 4, 1840.
" Stothard ' never touched a subject without investing it
with some new grace of beauty pecular to himself.' Were
this not sufficiently evident from any of his antecedent works,
it would be amply proved by the present, wherein he seems
thoroughly to have caught the spirit of the author, and lent
an additional charm to pages replete with interest before."—
Parthenon, Jan. 25, 1840.
" This is beyond all comparison, the most beautiful edition
of Bunyan's great enchanter than has yet seen the light.
The typography, paper, and pictorial illustrations, are equal
to the best specimens of this improving age, and, to our
taste, the illustrations are more happy and less disfigured by
exaggeration, than any we have ever had the opportunity of
examining."--Evanyelica/ Magazine, February, 1840.
" Without exception, the best and most beautiful edition
extant. The plates are from Stothard's designs, and this is
an ample guarantee for their elegatice and beauty."-o.iford
Herald, January 25.

" —the great attraction of this edition are the illustrations,
which consist of a series of the best designs we ever saw from
the pencil of Stothard, eminent as that artist was—we must
conclude with recommending this edition to every admirer
of Bunyan, as being, at the
,same time, the most splendid and
the most useful one extant,"—Hull Packet.
