A Collection of Sketches from all the Artists who have contributed to "PUNCH," and containing in all In nearly 4,000 pictures. Pictures from Punch'" there has been brought together the best of the pictures and sketches that have appeared in Punch for the last fifty years. These volumes contain the cream of Punch-the pictures that have made the journal famous throughout the world. Good wine needs no bush, and the pictures of Punch need no recommendation. There is not one of these four volumes over which you could not linger. There is not a page that you will willingly allow to escape you. Is not Mr. Punch at home everywhere? His wit is racy of the soil, a light soil, rich, fertile, fruitful; while as a laughing philosopher, knowing when to be merry, but always wise, and when to be serious, he beams upon the whole world, his eyes twinkling with mirth, while his sympathies are cosmopolitan. His rule of life is contained in the first two lines of the old familiar quatrain :— ""Tis good to be merry and wise, 'Tis good to be honest and true." What rich veins of humour, fun, and, mind you, moral teaching into the bargain, if you only dig deep enough! Du Maurier in the park and the drawing-room; Keene in the street and in the kitchen. Phil May with his marvellously lifelike gutter-snipes, his real 'Arriets and 'Arries, is incomparable. Then there is the fun and " go" of Jalland's scenes in the hunting-field. Examine the work by Bernard Partridge; what rare humour inspires the pencil of this veritable magician, skilled beyond compare in the black (and white) art! Irresistibly absurd is the quaint work of Edward T. Reed, the exceptionally gifted catcher of likenesses in the Houses of Parliament, all taken on the spot "while he waits." Mark Twain declares that he is happy if he can have one good laugh a week. Here is a work which will give you a laugh for every day of the year. The volumes appeal to every age-men, women and children will find them equally attractive. The collection is a veritable history of the social movement, the caprices of fashion, the amenities and the varieties of life in the Victorian era— and very much that will amuse.

This inimitable series of volumes is absolutely unique, there being nothing approaching to them in all the wide range of modern or ancient literature.
