      WE give , in a subsequent note , are ' sume * of the interesting and eminently practical paper § on * Book Illustration , ' read at the last meeting of the Royal Society of Literature by I

      Mr . J . S . Hodson , whose name is well known to all our readers , and indeed throughout , the f publishing and printing trades , as the Secretary of the Printers' Pension , Almshouse , and

      Orp ¦ han _ Asy - lum -bi Corporation _^^ M _ . The . ¦—__ i comparativel — A « bV y limited M . Taj A « ah space available A aftTa * bbi ^ K in A the * ^ Societ . aa ^ . - y ' s rooms in St . Martin's Place , and the rules in force as to the admission of strangers to its

      meetings , necessarily limited the number of Mr . Hodson's audience ; but all who were present will , we believeagree with us in thinking that the paper via was so eminently calculated to be ~~

      w , j v ^^^ ^ h ^ * ^ mm ^ r ^ r useful that its repetition before a larger assembl »^_ ^* B y is aB . much to be «¦ desired BBH aB ^_ . We BBBBB > aBB * BhdBBBl would dbk _ therefore suggest whether the Master and Wardens of the Stationers' Company might not be

      induced to invite Mr . Hodson to read his paper in their Hall , and to place tickets of admission admission at at tne the disposal disDosal of or some some of 01 tne the leading leadiner firms nrms in in the tne metropolis Metropolis for ror their tneir employ emvlovfa ^

      to whom such a lecture , with its numerous illustrations , would be highly interesting . The efforts which many of the ancient city guilds are making to promote technical education have

      met with such warm approval that a similar movement in the craft in which our readers aTe engaged would , we believe , meet with cordial support <¦* , and the delivery of Mr . Hodson ' s

      lecture w r ^ bb ^ p might possibl * y pave the way for the adoption of some further steps ^ bf to associate the ancient company with the promotion of the technical education , of those who may fairly look

      to it for encouragement and assistance .
