Go into any boys' school to-day, and turn over the slates and copy-books, or visit an inclosure where men are obliged to pass idle days, and you will be likely to find pictures conceived in this taste, and executed with this degree of artistic skill.

Illustrations above chapter headings

Here there is an illustration above a chapter heading, but it is also above the book title. Some, but not all, post-processors prefer four blank lines above an illustration that is just above a chapter heading. (There always should be four blank lines above the heading itself.) Since this is not covered in the Formatting Guidelines, if it isn't covered in the project comments or discussion, ask about it.
