Excerpt from Orley Farm, Vol. 3: May, 1861 In Volumes, 53. Boards, uncut, Monthly; and in Double Volumes, 103. 6d., cloth gilt, Alternate Months. OR several years it has been a source of earnest inquiry from correspondents in every quarter of the globe, whether punch from its commencement could not be had at a price within reach of persons of moderate means. It is urged that, extending as it does over a period of twenty years; embracing as it were a complete History of the Times; and illustrating with rare fidelity the various social and political changes of the period, punch' forms a valuable work of reference as well as amusement. But to those especially to whom the early years of punch are unknown, its re-publication at a moderate price would be most acceptable. The Proprietors, influenced by. These considerations, have determined to re issue 'punoh' from its commencement in 1841 to the end of 1860. At the same time, feeling that many of the past allusions are obscure, if not forgotten, they propose to prefix an introduction to each volume, which will furnish a Key to the events satirised or commented on; thereby perpetuating in its original freshness the wit and humour which have made punch so famous throughout all lands. In arranging this re-issue, two modes OF publication have been adopted. One in monthly volumes, each containing the Numbers for half-a-year, price 58. In boards, with the edges uncut so as to enable purchasers to re-bind them according to their fancy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
