" We could not have believed it possible to add to the high
estimation in which we have always held the most graceful
artist of our age and country. Yet this series has enhanced
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 col-
lection 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, moreover, 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, R. Graves, Sangster, Watt, and Stocks,
engraving book-plates, and reminding us of the great old man
whose pencil was so eloquent, whose conceptions 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,

THE PRODIGAL'S RETURN,
from a Picture by EDWARD PRENTES, now in the possession
of Robert Napier, Esq., Glasgow.

" 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 on
aopper, 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'eeuvre."—Asiatic Journal, Jan., 1840.
" This is without exception the most beautifully illustrated
edition of any standard work with which we are acquainted ;
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 John 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 heyday of
the painter's power, they are unrivalled by any series of en-
gravings which have lately fallen under our notice."—United
Service Gazette, Jan. 4, 1840.

Stothard " never touched a subject without investing it
with some new grace of beauty peculiar 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 that 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 ex-
aggeration than any we have ever had the opportunity of
examining."—Evangelical Magazine, Feb. 1840.
