stance, including cutting, leading, &c., is done by the artist himself. As an instance of how little photography can do, it is worth while to describe such a small item as the _scroll_ above the figure. This is of glass most carefully selected (or most skilfully treated with acid), so that the ground work varies from silvery-white to almost a pansy-purple, and on this the verse is illuminated in tones varying from pale primrose to the ruddiest gold--the whole forming a passage of lovely colour impossible to achieve by any system of "copying." It is work like this and the preceding that is referred to on p. 266. [Illustration: III.--Window. St. Peter's Church, Clapham.] PLATE IV.--_Central part of Window in Cobham Church, Kent, by Reginald Hallward._ Executed under the same conditions as the preceding. [Illustration: IV.--Part of Window. Cobham Church, Kent.] PLATE V.--_Part of Window in Ardrahan Church, Galway--"St. Robert" by Selwyn Image._ From the cartoon. See p. 83. [Illustration: V.--Part of Window. Ardrahan, Galway.] PLATE VI.--_Two Designs for Domestic Glass, by Miss M. J. Newill._ From the cartoons. [Illustration: VI.--From Cartoons for Domestic Glass.] PLATE VII.--_"The Dream of St. Kenelm," by H. A. Payne._ The author had the pleasure of watching this work daily while in progress. It was done entirely by the artist's own hand, by way of a specimen "masterpiece" of craftsmanship, and the aim was to use to the full extent every resource of the material. [Illustration: VII.--Window. "The Dream of St. Kenelm."] PLATE VIII.--_Six "Quarries"--"Day and Night," "The Spirit on the Face of the Waters," "Creation of Birds and Fishes," "Eden," and "The Parable of the Good Seed," by Pupils of H. A. Payne, Birmingham School of Art._ These lose very much by reduction, and should be seen with a lens magnifying 2-1/2 diameters. They are the designs of the pupils themselves (boys in their teens), and are examples of bold outline _untouched after tracing_. They are more elaborate than would be desirable for _ordinary_ quarry glazing; being intended for interior work on a screen, to be seen close at hand with borrowed light. [Illustration: VIII.--Quarries. (Size of originals, 4-1/2 by 4 ins.)] PLATE IX.--_Micro-photographs_. 1. _A piece of outline that has "fried" in the kiln._ Magnified 20 diameters. See p. 104. 2. _A small Diamond seen from above._ Magnified 10-1/2 diameters. The white horizontal line
