EDITORIAL NOTE.
The author of "La Gravure," of which work thepresent volume is a translation, has devoted so littleattention to English Engraving, that it has beenthought advisable to supplement his somewhat inadequateremarks by a special chapter dealing withthis subject.
In accordance with this view, Mr. William Walkerhas contributed an account of the rise and progressof the British School of Engraving, which, togetherwith his Chronological Table of the better-knownEnglish Engravers, will, we feel sure, add much to thevalue of the Work in the eyes of English readers.
