Note. The frontispiece is a photogravure by John Andrew and Son from a painting made by Joseph Severn in his old age after the picture painted by him in his youth. The painting was in the possession of the late John W. Field, Esq., and is now the property of Williams College, by whose courtesy this copy was made.

The vignette is from a portrait by the same artist in the National Portrait Gallery, London.
