DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from A History of Caricature and Grotesque in Literature and Art The contents of the following pages, in which it was, in fact, my defign to give, as far as may be done within fuch moderate limits, and in as popular a manner as fach information can eafily be imparted, a general view of the Hifiory of Comic Literature and Art. Yet the word comic feems to me hardly to exprefs all the parts of the fubjee't which I have fought to bring together in my book. Moreover, the field of this hiftory is very large, and, though I have only taken as my theme one part of it, it was neceffary to circum fcribe even that, in fome degree; and my plan, there fore, is to follow it chiefly through thofe branches which have contributed moft towards the formation.

Not illustrated. 1875 edition. Excerpt: ... be in labour Meanwhile the shepherds awake, discover the loss of a flieep, and percerring that Mak has disappeared also, they naturally suspect him to be the depredator, and pursue him. They find everything very cunningly prepared in the cottage to deceive them, but, after a large amount of roundabout inquiry and research, and much drollery, they discover that the boy of which Mak's wife pretends to have been just delivered, is nothing ell' but the sheep which had been stolen from their flocks. The wife frill asserts that it is her child, and Mak sets up as his defence that the bab had been ' forfpoken," or enchanted, by an elf at midnight, and that 1' had thus been changed into the appearance of a sheep; but the shepherds refuse to be satisfied with this explanation. The whole of this list's comedy is carried out with great skill, and with infinite drollery. The shepherds, while still wrangling with Mak and his wife, are seized with drowsiness, and lie down to sleep; but they are aroused by the voice of the angel, who proclaims the birth of the Saviour. The next play in which the drollery is introduced, is that of " Herod and the Slaughter of the Innocents."
