illustrations were Harrison Weir, George Cruik-

 Maurier and Ernest Griset. 



Although intended to be issued yearly, the 

 series stopped short at Number II., and only 

 one more volume of the Papers has since been 

 published. This was in the year 1897, and 

 Number III. was edited by J. E. Preston-Muddock 

 (" Dick Donovan ") with the late Herbert Johnson 

 as art editor, and was published by Hutchinson 

 & Co., of Paternoster Row. The preface to this 

 has a true " Savage " touch in the conspicuous 

 mis-statement that the first volume was published 

 in 1868, and the second volume in 1869. How- 

 ever, to correct the effect of the error in the 

 dates, the writer in quoting alters the original 

 phrase, " The Savage Club was founded ten 

 years ago," to " eleven years ago," and further 

 adds, in a footnote, the correct date, viz. "1857" 

 — thus ultimately arriving at the truth in a 

 characteristically " Savage " way. The list of 

 contributors to Volume III. contains the names 

 of, inter alia, G. A. Henty, Lord Charles Beresford, 

 Charles Collette, Koulson Kernahan, G. M. Fenn, 

 and a few others who had contributed to the 

 previous numbers, among the artists contributing 

 being W. H. Pike (" Olivier Paque "), Phil May, 

 Paul Renouard, Bernard Gribble, T. B. Hardy, 

 Paul Frenzeny, Yeend King, Sir James D. Linton, 

 Harrison Weir, J. F. Sullivan, W. Ralston, and
