If one dwelt long enough upon this train of thought, enumerating all the elements of value in the Punch volumes, one might well arrive at the conclusion that it was a crime to tamper with those volumes at all, and burn this small anthology unopened. But one may pause before that point of view has been attained, and express a hope that the reader who glances at these pages will remember that they pretend to be no more than chips from Mr. Punch's quarry.
