Paper expressly prepared for the reception of woodcuts was used; and all the modern improvements of typography have been enlisted in order to secure brilliant and effective impressions. The last volume is prefaced and annotated by Mr. AUSTIN DOBSON, in whose hands Bewick's papers and correspondence, together with the original MS. of the "Memoir," were placed by the late Miss Isabella Bewick's Executors.
