12mo: 2 pp. Very good. Relates to the photographic series 'English Artists of the present day', published by Seeley with accompanying essays 'by J. B. Atkinson, S. Colvin, F. G. Stephens, T. Taylor, and J. L. Tupper'. He is sending 'a copy of No. 3. The other we count as a presentation copy.' 'The Woolner photo. will I hope not be thought so bad by those who have not seen Elliott & Fry's. I was glad to find this morning that it had not struck Mr. Colvin (a keen critic) as unsatisfactory.' When Tupper is in London the following month hopes that they will 'be able to fix on something good for the Foley illustration. We were rather hurried over the Woolner, another illustration which had been intended for July having broken downn unexpectedly.' Ends 'Professor Seeley is my brother.'
