Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The most important of them are, Dr. Dibdin's celebrated bibliographical works; A Treatise on mod-engraving; by w.a. Chatto, of which a new edition has lately been issued 'wood-engraving in Italy in the 15th Century,' by Dr. Lippmann; and, above all, The Masters of wood-engraving: a magnificent folio volume written by Mr. v. J. Linton himself a. Master - who, besides giving us the benefit of his technical knowledge obtained by the practice of the art for fifty years, presents us with copies, from blocks engraved by himself, of the most celebrated woodcuts of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
