These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 93, December 31, 1887:Look inside the book: But I think it will keep for a week, and on this New Year's Eve I will put in the Bag a letter of my own, addressed to him who, take him for all in all, (as Bacon wrote) is the most Eminent Man of the century. ... I have often seen you, as you are weekly presented to an admiring public, chuckling with finger to nose and brightened eye over the inception of a joke, and I have observed you afterwards a little depressed on reading it in the proof, struck with the conviction that it was not quite so good as you thought. ...A London Cousin of mine, who is a theatre-goer, and knows several of the leading actors and actresses 'at home,' tells me that in this piece the individuality of the actress is completely merged in the part, and that it is only when she is saying something very cynical, that he was reminded by a mannerism peculiar to this actress how bitter this Beere could be on occasion. About Various Various, the Author: Other notable early works included an opra bouffe, Windsor Castle (1865), with music by Frank Musgrave, and punny burlesques, including the very successful The Latest Edition of Black Eyed Susan (which played for 800 performances in London in seasons from 1866 into the 1870s and was revived and toured extensively) and Helen, or, Taken from the Greek, in 1866. ...Dozens of works followed in the 1870s, including Poll and Partner Joe (1871), The Miller and His Man (1873; 'a Christmas drawing room extravaganza' with songs by Arthur Sullivan), Artful Cards (1877), Proof (1878), Dora and Diplunacy (1878, a burlesque of Clement Scott's Diplomacy, an adaptation of Sardou's Dora), The Forty Thieves (1878), Our Club (1878) and another frequently revived hit, Betsy (1879).
