The plates based on water color drawings were printed by Nims and Knight the noted Troy New York publisher who specialized among other subjects in illustrated books and botanical art. Sprague was the younger brother of Hosea Sprague the meteorologist and local historian of Hingham Massachusetts who at an early age was apprenticed to a carriage painter where his skills were quickly recognized. His ability to translate observed object into drawings caught the attention of James Audubon and in 1840 he accompanied him on his trip up the Missouri River to sketch quadrupeds. Upon is return he was introduced to Asa Gray and began a long collaboration of rendering botanical specimens into drawings for Gray's works. Gray was quoted as saying that Sprague "raised the level of botanical illustration in this country to that of the great European centers." John Galluzzo.

The Oxford Clasical Dictionary "Etruscan language" 559-560. Oxford DNB C.E.A. Cheesman "Taylor Isaac 1829–1901". Isaac Taylor was a grammatologist a philologist and a historian. He was descended from both the engravers named Isaac Taylor. After spending a winter in Italy Taylor composed a history of the Estruscan language arguing it was a member of the Altaic and Finno-Ugrian language families. To this day the exact origin of the Etruscan language is still debated although modern scholars generally agree that it's a pre-Indo-European language unique to one region of Italy and to Lemnos Greece. The Etruscans were an important and complex people their legacy is now shrouded in questions thanks to the loss of Etruscan papyri and other artifacts. Though Taylor was incorrect about the origins of the Etruscan language he was a pioneer of comparative philology and made huge contributions to the historical study of ancient and modern Indian and Mediterranean writing systems and alphabets.
