Synopsis

John Bright: Cartoons From The Collection Of Mr. Punch (1878) is a book that showcases the work of John Bright, a prominent English cartoonist of the 19th century. The book features a collection of cartoons that were originally published in the satirical magazine, ""Punch"".

Each cartoon is accompanied by a brief description that provides context and insight into the meaning behind the illustration. The book also includes an introduction that provides background information on John Bright and his career as a cartoonist. This book is a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century British satire and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of political cartoons.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Preface A history of John Bright scareer must needs be largely a record of opinions. In constructing this record I have tried, as far as possible, to use his own words, although the limits of this book do not permit extended quotations from his speeches. Such a method is facilitated by the terseness of his style; and inasmuch as his opinions were always clearly defined, and, being notably independent of circumstances and conditions, were subject to very little change, I may reasonably hope to have escaped the error of misrepresenting occasional utterances as definite judgments. I have not, however, been content merely to summarize Bright sacts and views, but have throughout tried to form and to suggest a critical estimate of his work and its results. With one exception the controversies in which he was engaged are now sufficiently remote, and their issues sufficiently developed, to bear historical treatment. The exception is the controversy raised in 1886; upon this subject, therefore, I have added no comment to the account given of Bright sopinions. The space allotted to the different subjects treated is proportional, not to their importance, but to the importance of Bright sdealings with them. For some details of Bright sparentage and early life I rely on the authority of the biography written by Mr. W. Robertson of Rochdale. In studying his parliamentary career I have resorted throughout to Hansard and the newspaper files. The books of which I have made most use are Mr. Morley s Life of Cohden Prentice s History of the League the Histories of Mr. J. F.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
