Volume xvii., “Miscellanea,” contains The Mystery of a bloody hand together with the Translated Stories, and other papers that had appeared previously in Magazines.

In Volume xii., “Brothers of Pity and other tales of men and beasts,” will be found Among the Merrows; A Week spent in a Glass Pond; Tiny’s Tricks and Toby’s Tricks; The Owl in the Ivy Bush, and Owlhoots I. II., whilst Sunflowers and a Rushlight has been put amongst the Flower Stories in Vol.  XVI., Mary’s Meadow, etc.

The Letter with which this volume concludes was one of the last that Julie wrote, and its allusion to Gordon’s translation seemed to make it suitable for the End.

After her death the readers of Aunt Judy’s Magazine subscribed enough to complete the endowment (L1000) of a Cot at the Convalescent Home of the Hospital for Sick Children, Cromwell House, Highgate.  This had been begun to our Mother’s memory, and was completed in the joint names of Margaret Gatty and Juliana Horatia Ewing.  So liberal were the subscriptions that there was a surplus of more than L200, and with this we endowed two L5 annuities in the Cambridge Fund for Old Soldiers—­as the “Jackanapes,” and “Leonard” annuities.

Of other memorials there are the marble gravestone in Trull Churchyard, and Tablet in Ecclesfield Church, both carved by Harry Hems, of Exeter, and similarly decorated with the double lilac primrose,—­St. Juliana’s flower.

In Ecclesfield Church there is also a beautiful stained window, given by her friend, Bernard Wake.  The glass was executed by W.F.  Dixon, and the subject is Christ’s Ascension.  Julie died on the Eve of Ascension Day.

Lastly, there is a small window of jewelled glass, by C.E.  Kempe, in St. George’s Church, South Camp, Aldershot, representing St. Patrick trampling on a three-headed serpent, emblematical of the powers of evil, and holding the Trefoil in his hand—­a symbol of the Blessed Trinity.

The frontispiece portrait of Mrs. Ewing is a photogravure produced by the Swan Electric Engraving Company, from a photograph taken by Mr. Fergus of Largs.

All the other illustrations are from Mrs. Ewing’s own drawings, except the tail-piece on p. 136.  This graceful ideal of Mrs. Ewing’s grave was an offering sent by Mr. Caldecott shortly after her death, with his final illustrations to “Lob Lie-by-the-Fire."

    All hearts grew warmer in the presence
      Of one who, seeking not his own,
    Gave freely for the love of giving,
      Nor reaped for self the harvest sown.

    Thy greeting smile was pledge and prelude
      Of generous deeds and kindly words: 
    In thy large heart were fair guest-chambers,
      Open to sunrise and the birds!
