See also:Burnand's New See also:Sandford and Merton (1872), and in See also:Charles See also:Kingsley's See also:Water Babies (1885), which contains some of his most delicate
and delightful drawings. The design for the Diploma for the See also:Fisheries See also:Exhibition (1883) is of its See also:kind one of the most extra-See also:ordinary things in English art.
