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.<br /> <br /> Field 225. Tooley 475. Schwerdt II 237. Podeschi 207.
