THE PRINCE OF WALES, WITH FOX, SHERIDAN, AND HIS WHIG ASSOCIATES, TRYING
IN VAIN TO BLOW OUT POOR OLD GEORGE.]

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.
