 In 1863 was published Dalziel's "Parables of our Lord," containing some of the finest black and white work of Millais. Among the best of the wood engravings is The Sower, The Tares, and The Prodigal Son.

In 1865 other names appear:—J. D. Watson, G. J. Pinwell, A. Boyd Houghton, W. J. Lawless, J. Mahoney, F. Walker, J. W. North, and W. Small. Even Burne-Jones and Whistler did not disdain to draw on wood blocks destined for use in a magazine. There is a characteristic drawing by the former in Good Words for 1863, placed in the list of illustrations as by "Christopher Jones," and in Once a Week for 1862 there are four illustrations by Whistler.

Among some of the best known illustrated books of this period may be mentioned Defoe's "Plague" (Longmans), 1863, with designs by F. Shields, "Wayside Posies" (Routledge) and Jean Ingelow's "Poems" (Longmans), both published in 1867, with illustrations by North, Pinwell, and Edward Dalziel. Concerning "A Round of Days," 1866 (Routledge), "Ballad Stories," by Robert Buchanan (Routledge), the illustrated Goldsmith, and the "Arabian Nights" (Ward, Lock & Co.), first published in parts from 1863 to 1865, mention is made later in detail, nor should the edition of the "Arabian Nights" published in 1866 by Messrs.

To the list of magazines worthy of note may be added London Society and the People's Magazine, both of which had fine drawings.
