"Although Surtees approached his publishers in July 1861 with the idea of bringing out 'Mr. Facey Romford' they preferred not to undertake the matter until Mr. Leech's services were definitely secured and there would be no questoin of such delays as had occurred in the illustrations of 'Handley Cross.' Leech promised, however, to being in January 1862, and the situation seemed sufficiently secure to set up the type, but just at this time the artist held his first exhibition of oil paintings which proved so successful and diverting that the 'Facey Romford' illustrations were again postponed. Surtees in despair at last offered the book, in August 1864, to The Field, where is was refused. In March of that year Leech finally undertook the drawings, but never lived to complete the work, which was carried on byPhiz" (Field). Field 225. Tooley 475. Schwerdt II, 237. Podeschi 207.
