Before the remembrance of the good old times, so fast passing, should have entirely passed away, the present artist, R. Caldecott, and engraver, James D. Cooper, planned to illustrate Washing­ton Irving's " Old Christmas " in this manner. Their primary idea was to carry out the principle of the Sketch Book, by incorporating the designs with the text. Throughout they have worked together and con amore. With what success the public must decide. November 1875.

Frontispiece
The company, which was assembled in a large old-fashioned hall
Indeed, so great was her indifference, that she was amusing herself with plucking to pieces a choice bouquet of .hot-house flowers
On reaching the church-porch, we found the parson rebuking the gray-headed sexton
The orchestra was in a small gallery, and presented a most whimsical grouping of heads
Never did Christmas board display a more goodly and gracious assemblage of countenances
Tne rest of the train had been metamorphosed in various ways
The old family mansion, partly thrown in deep shadow, and partly lit up by the cold moonshine
