"There can be no better book for a drawing-room table, to suggest
subjects of talk. The arts of engraving have made rapid progress since
these pictures first appeared, but it would be hard to surpass the
pregnant humour of the more famous of the political cartoons. They put
the points on all the critical periods of our Parliamentary history,
and indicate in effective outline the action of political
celebrities."--_Times._
"It is surprising to find how complete a history of the times they
present in vivid form, at least in its most salient features; and a
history which is not confined to political events, but which catches
and stereotypes many of the evanescent phases of popular fashion and
opinion, which could hardly be preserved in any other
way."--_Guardian._
"This chronicle must have a place amongst standard books of
reference."--_Spectator._
