Poems from Punch, 1841-84. With Introduction by Sir Francis Burnand.

(George G. Harrap. 5s. net.)—Here are sixty-four poems, some of them famous—" The Song of the Shirt," for instance, and " England's Welcome to Alexandra "—all of them good, and quite worthy of having a new lease of life given to them. The obituary poems, of which Punch has a fine series, may be specially mentioned.
