Excerpt from The Unknown River In the revival of the too long neglected art of etching, we who in England and France have tried to recover the right use of the needle, have had to contend against many difficulties, and little of what we have hitherto done can be considered more than tentative and experimental. Etching, however, has this advantage over line-engraving, - that the comparatively rapid and spontaneous nature of the process, and its purely artistic and intellectual aims, obtain indulgence for many imperfections which would not be tolerated in a craft professing great mechanical finish. In etching, the spirit of the work is of more consequence than manual accuracy, and I have therefore allowed several plates to be published in this series, in which the manual work is rude, because they expressed my meaning, though in a rough way.
