Comments
'Mr. W. Simpson's lecture to the boys of Eton College, on Saturday evening, on "Illustrated Journalism," with an exhibition of sketches by him and the engravings from them published in the 'Illustrated London News', was received with much applause, and our Special Artist was deservedly complimented. Mr. G. E. Marinder, M.A., one of the masters of Eton College, presented over the boys, who had Lord Ampthill for their own president.'
