EPISTLE DEDICATORY
TO
BRITANNIA

Madam,
I venture to dedicate this volume to you because you have
always been very kind to me, and because I cannot think why you
have always been so kind to me.
You have never, since you came to woman's estate, smiled much
on caricaturists, or on satirists, in general. During the eighteenth
century you were indulgent enough to them; but then you were still
a headstrong girl ! there was still a strain of brutality in your nature,
to which caricature and satire were agreeable. That strain worked
itself out of you long ago. You had become mild and buxom long
before I had the honour to behold you. And the recent War has left
you as mild as ever ; though less buxom.
