“A ready wit and a fluent tongue are valuable auxiliaries. But force of character, consciousness of power, masculine ability in grappling with complicated questions, and that species of eloquence, the effect of which arises rather from earnestness, straightforwardness, and elevation of sentiment, than from sparkling or elaborate rhetoric, give a man a position in the House of Commons which leaves him little in need of such other gifts as we have mentioned.”—Standard, Dec. 30.

## HARRY FURNISS’s

# ROYAL ACADEMY.

he Exhibition consisted of eighty-seven pictures, in black and white of course, but otherwise similar in size and general appearance to those annually seen on the walls of Burlington House. Anyone who visited it must have seen that it was the result of many years of labour, and not a few of the pictures possessed an artistic value quite apart from their interest as pictorial travesties. A wish has been very generally expressed that some permanent record, in a portable shape, but in character consonant with the artistic purpose of the Exhibition, should be procurable by the public at large, both those who saw and those who did not see the originals at the Gainsborough Gallery and elsewhere.

To meet this wish an ALBUM, containing Reproductions of these EIGHTY-SEVEN PICTURES, with which will be included the contents of THE ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE, has been prepared and largely subscribed for. The issue of these Albums, however, which will be the only reproductions of the Exhibition, is strictly limited to ONE THOUSAND COPIES, each of which will be signed by the Artist.

It may be mentioned that the whole of this undertaking, from its conception to the present time, has been in Mr. Furniss’s own hands. This has enabled Mr. Furniss scrupulously to maintain the artistic character of the whole enterprise. In the preparation of this Album he has spared no time or expense in trying reproductions by the different processes at home and abroad, similar to those used in the Album of the Royal Academy Pictures of 1886, and the annual reproductions of the French Salon. Not, however, being satisfied with any of these cheaper methods, he has, regardless of the great cost, adopted the finest method of photogravure—viz., the Photo Intaglio process of A. and C. Dawson, No. 3, Farringdon Street, and Hogarth Works, Chiswick, the reproductions being made under his own supervision. Each plate is hand-printed, and will in every way surpass, for artistic quality, anything of the kind ever published.

As Photogravure is the best and most faithful, as well as the most expensive method, this Album is certain to be valuable, and a worthy and complete memorial of the “Artistic Joke”; whilst the price charged will be only £3 3s., the same as fixed, originally, when the adoption of the cheaper process was contemplated.

The size of the Album is Imperial Quarto (11 by 15 inches); the plates range, on an average, from 4 × 6 to 7½ × 9 inches. The whole is handsomely and tastefully bound in cloth and gilt edged.

After the Thousand Veritable Édition de Luxe were Printed, the Plates were Destroyed.

The whole Edition is rapidly being exhausted and the price will be raised to FIVE Guineas in a few days.

* * *Orders should be forwarded to The Typographic-Etching Co., No. 3, Farringdon Street.

“The genius of Leech has never been seen to greater advantage than in this gallery.”—Morning Post.

“We doubt whether in the whole range of the literary or pictorial art of the period, the earlier portion of the Victorian era has been elsewhere so vigorously, so truthfully, as well as so humorously portrayed as in John Leech’s inimitable pictures. The series has an importance beyond the amusement of the moment—it serves both to commemorate the genius of the artist and the character of the age.”—Country Gentleman.

“There can be no better book for a drawing-room table, to suggest subjects of talk. The arts of engraving have made rapid progress since these pictures first appeared, but it would be hard to surpass the pregnant humour of the more famous of the political cartoons. They put the points on all the critical periods of our Parliamentary history, and indicate in effective outline the action of political celebrities.”—Times.

“It is surprising to find how complete a history of the times they present in vivid form, at least in its most salient features; and a history which is not confined to political events, but which catches and stereotypes many of the evanescent phases of popular fashion and opinion, which could hardly be preserved in any other way.”—Guardian.

“This chronicle must have a place amongst standard books of reference.”—Spectator.

“Mr. Leslie has a keen sense of the picturesque, while a genuine enthusiasm for the beauties of scenery to be found in the course of a leisurely boat-trip from Putney to Oxford, gives life and even force to what he says.... ‘Our River’ is not an exhaustive work, but it should be read by all persons who are in any way interested in the subject.”—Times.

“The diction moves in a sort of endless ripple, now telling of water-weeds and bank-flowers and birds, now lingering pleasantly over some of the traditions and old-world lore of which the Thames furnishes such a goodly quantity.”—Graphic.

1.F.
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.
1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
