This volume of engravings was intended, as the title states, to illustrate the work of Sir Charles' brother, John Bell (see No. 1186 ff.), who had himself done the drawings to illustrate the first volume. The delicate shading and tinting of these engravings make it a work of beauty as well as of practical value for its painstaking detail and accuracy.
