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 be found in some of our woodiest and deepest deans, where children love to go a bird-nesting. For this very clever etching, I am indebted to the warm friendship of Mrs. Gatty of Ecclesfield.
