EXPLANATION OP THE PLATES. 



The Frontispiece is a view of " Castle-hills," the seat of Miss Askew, taken 



from near the Grove. 

 The etching inserted to front page 221 is a group of trees, such as may bf 



found in some of our woodiest and deepest deans, where childi'en love 



to go a bird-nesting. For this very clever etching, I am indebted to 



the warm friendship of Mrs. Gatty of Ecclesfield.
