Subsequently, on seeing the volume, "The Poets of the Nineteenth Century," he wrote:

"Let me take this opportunity of expressing my admiration of the work you last brought out, and the drawings by Dalziel[12] in particular, which are most poetic and took us by surprise, although whether yours or your brother's I, as yet, know not. The Millais' are admirable, both as regards him and the engraver."

"There, ye wise Saints, behold your Light, your Star—
Ye would be dupes and victims, and ye are."

In "Home Affections with the Poets," Millais again stands pre-eminent in his two contributions. "There's Nae Luck About the House," when compared with his drawing of the "Finding of Moses," is an apt illustration of his wonderful versatility, and a proof that in art all subjects were equally within his power.
