Fortunately, however, the teacher relieves him from any embarrassment which might result from his not knowing the answers to his own questions, by adopting that system...

But this will hardly be regretted when it is considered that the result will be a number of excellent reproductions to be had at cost, and which will help greatly towards our art-education, as we may have them continually about...
