FIRST EDITION. This book "has collected over 200 of the finest works of
Phiz. They present a cavalcade of humor and pathos illuminated by an
acuteness of observation and a deftness of caricature rarely matched
either by his contemporaries or by his successors. In his witty and
erudite introduction, Mr. Buchanan-Brown outlines Phiz's life and works
and evaluates the latter in the contexts of the novels that they
illustrate and the productions of Browne's rivals." Jacket blurb.
