With a Show in the North: Reminiscences of Mark Lemon (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from With a Show in the North: Reminiscences of Mark Lemon

Conduct of Punch he soared above the satirist, he repudiated the mere cap and bells. He had a romantic faith in the power which he directed. In this enthusiasm and devotion may be found the secret of his success as an editor. Years hence, it may almost seem beyond belief, that the founder of Punch died without deserving the enmity of any man, beloved by all who had laboured with him, respected by men of all creeds and parties; being, nevertheless, one who had never sacrificed the independence of his paper, regarding it always as an estate of the realm, a power that belonged to the coun try, a national institution.
