"Interspersed through the Work will be found a number of Vignettes (reduced from Vere Foster's various Drawing-books), which are intended as incentives to the study of other branches of art.  It would even be good practice to copy them in the small size, and some of the sketches could be used for reproducing in color."--Contents.
