FROM THE CONTEMPORARY PAGES OF

#"PUNCH."#

"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._

In 3 Volumes, Royal quarto, elegant, price L2 2s.

[Illustration: "PUNT SAILING WITH THE STREAM" (_Reduced._)]

"Mr. Leslie has a keen sense of the picturesque, while a genuine
enthusiasm for the beauties of scenery to be found in the course of a
leisurely boat-trip from Putney to Oxford, gives life and even force
to what he says.... 'Our River' is not an exhaustive work, but it
should be read by all persons who are in any way interested in the
subject."--_Times._

"The diction moves in a sort of endless ripple, now telling of
water-weeds and bank-flowers and birds, now lingering pleasantly
over some of the traditions and old-world lore of which the Thames
furnishes such a goodly quantity."--_Graphic._
