[80] Large line engravings, I mean, in which the lines, as such, are
conspicuous. Small vignettes in line are often beautiful in figures
no less than landscape; as, for instance, those from Stothard's

the vignettes to Tennyson to be done by line engraving.

[82] Gary's or Cayley's, if not the original. I do not know which
are the best translations of Plato. Herodotus and Aeschylus can only
be read in the original. It may seem strange that I name books like
these for "beginners:" but all the greatest books contain food for
all ages; and an intelligent and rightly bred youth or girl ought to
enjoy much, even in Plato, by the time they are fifteen or sixteen.
