Herbert Wilson Foster provided three illustrations for the 1870 Memorial Edition, as well as the portrait of George Heath. The 1880 edition includes an additional drawing of Mow Cop. I have included these at the relevant points within the online editions of the book. They can also be viewed here alongside new photographs of the same places.
