Ancient Castellated Mansions in Scotland. Part II. Drawn on Stone
and printed by C. HULLMANDEL.
This second number is an improvement upon the first, both in the execution of the plates and as regards the interest of the subjects. The drawings are in a plain, bold, and effective style of lithography, and the impressions clear, bright, and decided ; reflecting much credit on Mr. MILL MANDEL in his double capacity of artist and printer. The plates would derive great additional interest from the introduction of descriptive letterpress ; which, as the work is one having for its aim the illustration of a curious and neglected class of antiquated structures, rather than the delineation of merely picturesque views, seems necessary to its completeness, and would greatly enhance its value. It may per- haps be intended to supply this omission, and we mention it only because there is no intimation given of any such intention.
