These designs have many faults in execution, as

therefore see the defects OF the artist strongly as
We ever shall and we see also much promise. For
here is soul the power Of poetical conception and
talent at effective grouping
The illustrations are seven IN number all OF merit,
sore or less. Such subjects must not be spoken OF

say he took it for sign that the man felt able TO
