"GENERAL COMPLAINT" 11 _Both by permission of Messrs. Chatto & Windus._

The author desires to express his sense of obligation to the several publishers who have courteously granted him permission to reproduce drawings, the copyrights of which are vested in themselves; and at the same time to state his regret that other publishers, similarly situated with respect to other works, have not seen their way to render it possible for him to supply specimens of the style of certain artists, two of whom in particular, John Leech and H. K. Browne, must needs be conspicuous by their comparative absence.

Such Caricatures and Book Illustrations as have seemed specially desirable--of which the copyrights have lapsed and no editions are at the present day in print--have been engraved for this work by MR. WILLIAM CHESHIRE.
