SCULL. You see, Ma’am, there is a new work to come out at Christmas, which is to be entitled,--_The Mouse on the Mantelpiece_. The letterpress is in very able hands,--a very pretty little fairy-tale for grown-up children,--that’s all the rage now, you know, in this enlightened age. But the illustrations will be the great thing. A steel-plate frontispiece, of course, in which will be introduced a number of winged mice in a variety of positions,--a very clever thing, I can assure you; and then wood-cuts,--I have the honour of being intrusted with the designs for them. We are to have a different illustration for the top of every column.
