Transcriber’s Notes

Cover created by Transcriber, using the original cover (which contained only the artist’s signature) and one of the inside Title pages. The result remains in the Public Domain.

This eBook has no Table of Contents, but all of the cartoons are listed in the Index at the end.

Most of the cartoons contain names and comments that are in small print. These are important to understanding the satirical points being made, so all of the political cartoons are larger than normal. Clicking (or right-clicking) on any political cartoon will display a larger, more detailed version of it, making some of the smaller text within the cartoon more legible. Most browsers will let you zoom in to see the images full-size or oversize.

Most of the cartoons contain names and comments that are in small print. These are important to understanding the satirical points being made, so all of the political cartoons are larger than normal. You can see even larger versions of the wide cartoons by clicking on the “(larger)” link that follows each of them. (The tall cartoons already are larger, and the larger versions of the wide cartoons have been turned sideways). If the larger image exceeds screen size, many eReaders will let you expand the images to see portions of them in more detail. The HTML version, which is available at no charge at Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org), contains links to larger, higher-resolution versions of the political cartoons.

Other notes will be found at the end of this eBook.
