In 1869 That Boy of Norcott's supplies the subjects for three others by M. E. Edwards, and Lettice Lisle for four by F. W. Lawson. The first chapters of Put yourself in his place, Charles Reade's trades-union novel, are illustrated by ten drawings by Robert Barnes, F. Walker has one to Sola, for which tale Du Maurier supplies another, as well as one to the Courtyard of the Ours d'Or, and the three for Against Time.

In 1870 Robert Barnes continues illustrating Charles Reade's novel with seven full pages. Du Maurier contributes ten to Against Time, and four to George Meredith's Adventures of Harry Richmond, and S. L. Fildes (more familiar to-day as Luke Fildes) comes in with three admirable compositions to Charles Lever's Lord Kilgobbin.

CLEOPATRA

In 1871 the latter story engages twelve full pages, and Harry Richmond and eleven others, Du Maurier has the first to a Story of the Plébiscite.

In 1872 Du Maurier continues The Plébiscite with one full page (the others to the same story are signed 'H. H.'), and has four others to Francillon's Pearl and Emerald, and ten to The Scientific Gentleman. Fildes concludes his embellishment of Lord Kilgobbin with three full pages. Hubert Herkomer (the 'H. H.' of The Plébiscite probably) appears as a recruit with two most satisfactory designs to The Last Master of the Old Manor-House, and G. D. Leslie, also a fresh arrival, finds, in Miss Thackeray's Old Kensington, the themes for nine graceful compositions.

In 1873 to Du Maurier are devoted twelve subjects illustrating Zelda's Fortune. G. D. Leslie has four others concluding Old Kensington. S. L. Fildes illustrates Willows with two, and Marcus Stone is represented by half-a-dozen idyllic and charming, if somewhat slight, designs for Young Brown.

In 1874 H. Paterson, W. Small, and Du Maurier contribute all the pictures excepting one by Marcus Stone. Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy, illustrated by the first artist, and A Rose in June, and Black's Three Feathers by the second.
