The edition was illustrated by aquarelles. The book contained an introductory memoir of Sheridan by J. T. Ford. This memoir is illustrated with the portraits of many literary men and women contemporary with Sheridan, also several portraits of Sheridan's first wife, Miss Smiley. The play is illustrated by the portraits of every actor who appeared in the piece on its first production at Covent Garden in 1776. There are also many playbills arranged in chronological order as the play was produced i...n Europe and America, with portraits of the principal charac- 276 ters, — Bob A ores, Sir A nthony A bsolute, Sir Lucius G Trigger, Mrs. Malaprop, etc., — views of the- aters, and scenes at Bath. Every care was taken to make this as perfect an extra- illustrated book as possible. It was bound by Stikeman in half crushed levant. He also illustrated Carlyle's " Life and Works of Schiller " with a great many portraits and views; also the "Life and Works of Goethe." We believe that Mr. Florence was the owner of many other privately illustrated books, but he was in Europe when we called, and we were not able to get a sight of his collection.
