The typography is extremely beautiful, and the pictorial illustrations, which are very numerous, possess, as works of art, the highest excel lence. They are not merely of an ornamental description, but exquisitelyfinished representations of costume, monuments of ancient art, and objects of natural history, and are the production of some of the finest artists of the present day.
