"A set of caricatures such as we have in Mr. Wright's volume
brings the surface of the age before us with a vividness that
no prose writer, even of the highest power, could emulate.
Macaulay's most brilliant sentence is weak by the side of
the little woodcut from Gillray, which gives us Burke and
Fox."--_Saturday Review._
