Excerpt from Denizens of the DeepAnother reason for writing this short Preface is that it enables me to call attention to the artistic and sympathetic work of Mr. Theo. Carreras, my artist coadjutor. The liberality of the Religious Tract Society has enabled us,to give no less than forty of these really beautiful illustrations, and I cannot feel too grateful to them for having thus assisted me. For the making-of those drawings has been a labour 'of love, Mr. Carreras having brought all his artistic knowledge to back up and reproduce my recollections of the attitudes of the various creatures, and the result is to me most gratifying. I feel confident that it will not be less so to my readers.And so I leave my book in your hands, friendly reader, with pleasant remembrances of your kind ness to me to buttress my hopes that this latest effort will meet with the same appreciation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
