The original plan of the book included but a few full-page illustrations, but the sterling character of the work as revealed by reading the manuscript, its authenticity, incontro vertible facts, and startling revelations, - led the publishers to believe that it ought to be illustrated with more than common fullness and in the most truthful and realistic manner.
