 illuminated titles, and exquisitely coloured designs, which precede and accompany the tales, 

 seem rather the splendid realisation of a fairy's conception than the simple production of the 

 architect and the graver. A more magnificent book for the drawing-room table it has never 

 been our lot to behold.'" — Court Journal.

 the first time. There is not a chapter that does not offer a great number of novel and 

 important suggestions, well worthy of the careful consideration alike of the public and the 

 professions. It is, besides, full of curious illustrations ; the descriptions and application of 

 the 'principles' 1 being interspersed throughout, with a variety of amusing anecdotes bearing 

 upon the general subject." — Morning Chronicle.
