...satire his genius lay, and in his productions of this kind we have fit members of the great body of English literature. His language was direct, emphatic, incisive, - there was an impetuous flow about his verses, every line struck a blow, every epithet had its significance, every simile its effect.

The illustrations of "A Comedy of Counterplots" are the worst in the number; one is a fanciful portrait of two men dancing hand in hand in a most unnatural position. It would be far pleasanter to have appearances left to the reader's imagination than to have...
