Excerpt from Mr. Punch in the HighlandsOf all Mr. Punch's contributors, we may say, without risk Of being invidious, that Charles Keene was by far the happiest in the portrayal of Scottish character. His Highland types are perhaps some what closer to the life than his Lowlanders, but all are invariably touched off with the kindliest humour, and never in any way burlesqued. If his work over shadows that Of the other humorous artists past and present represented in this volume, it is for the reason stated, yet it will be found that from the days of john Leech to those of Mr. Raven-hill mr. Puncn's artists have seldom been more happily inspired than when they have sought to depict Highland life and the lighter side of sport and travel north of the Tweed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
