PUNCH'S HISTORY OF THE LAST TWENTY YEARS.

From its Commencement in 1841 to the end of 1860.

In Volumes, 58, boards, uncut, monthly; and in double Vols., 10s. 6d. cloth gilt, every other month.

In arranging this re-issue, two modes of publication have been adopted. One in MONTHLY Volumes, each containing the numbers for half-a-year, price 58. in boards, with the edges uncut, so as to enable purchasers to rebind them according to their fancy.

The other, in volumes published every ALTERNATE MONTH, and containing the Numbers for a year, so that each year will form a distinct volume. The price of these volumes is 108. 6d., handsomely bound in cloth, gilt edges. To each Volume is prefixed an Explanatory Introduction.

The following Volumes are already published:-In boards, price 5s. each, Vols. 1 to 21. In cloth, gilt edges.

Amongst the contents of the published volumes are the following complete Works:

"As a current comment on our social history, the volumes of Punch will have in their way as real, if not as grave, an interest to future students as the tomes of any serious historical compiler. The pencil sketches show the English year by year in their habits as they lived, and chronicle incidentally every shift and turn of outward fashion. Thus in a pleasant and handy volume one can recover the whole body of English gossip for a bygone year. To the shelves, then, of all household libraries not yet possessed of their enlivening store of wit and wisdom, we recommend the volumes of Punch in this their complete re-issue. They are rich in wholesome comic thought, and they are, we believe, the best repertory of comic sketches within the whole range of English and foreign literature."-Examiner.
