 Landscapes, Figure subjects, and Ornamental designs, expressly prepared for this Edition. The Landscape views have been drawn 

 from Nature, and have been entrusted to the best Artists of America, whose efforts will be supplemented by designs from Eminent 

 English Artists, among whom may be mentioned P. H. Calderon, R.A., and Frank Dicksee, whose appreciative and hearty 

 co-operation will render this magnificent Edition a truly International Tribute, worthy of the world-wide fame which America's 

 Great Poet enjoys.
