LONDON: JUDY" OFFICE, 99 SHOE LANE, FLEET STREET, E.G. RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED TO ALL ENGLISHMEN WHO LOVE THEIR COUNTRY, BY THEIR OBEDIENT AND OBLIGED SERVANT, JUDY. PREFACE O OME year and a half since we published a volume of Cartoons which might fairly *^ be said to represent the Political History of the years 1868 — 78, or, at all events, that portion of it in which the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone played a promi- nent part. We now supplement that volume by a second, of which Mr. Gladstone's successful Rival is the pictured hero. The pencil of the caricaturist spares neither friend nor foe, but it is hardly neces- sary that the public should carry their admiration of the wisdom, foresight, and talent of the Earl of Beaconsfield to his "counterfeit presentment." To the multi- tude the Premier is perhaps better known by " Hyperion's curls " than either Jove's front or the eye of Mars ; but it is not with the mere person of the man but with the principles he professes, with the views he holds, with the doctrines he teaches, we are concerned ; and it is upon the merits of his deeds during the nearly seven years that he has held the reins of office that the nation is now called upon to pass its verdict. For thirteen years we have steadily steered our course, never wavering ; for thirteen years we have upheld those who sought to maintain the dignity of their country and the honour of their Constitution, while with pen and pencil we have shown our scorn and contempt for the rising race of pettifogging politicians, whose love of country is self-interest, and whose diplomacy is the art of shopkeeping. Within a month England will be called upon to decide to whose charge her future welfare is to be entrusted, to either endorse the acts of Lord Beaconsfield's Government or to accept for her guides, philosophers, and friends those who, with no policy of their own and no ability to truly criticize that of their opponents, take refuge in hurling such unmeaning epithets as "Imperialism" and "Jingoism" at the Ministers who have succeeded in raising their country to her old position in the council of nations, and in proving that Englishmen have still souls above barter and ambitions above the counter. The issue to be tried at the General Election is not of Whig v. Tor)-, or Con- servative v. Radical, but the far higher one of Patriotism v. Peddling. Those who love the land of their birth and rejoice to see its rulers making a stand against the pusillanimous huckstering of the jobbing cobblers of politics, will put aside all petty questions, and give their votes unhesitatingly for men who value the presh'ge of England, who honour the glory won for her by their forefathers, and are jealous of the smallest blot upon her fair fame. With these few words we send forth our Book of Cartoons, believing firmly and sincerely in the cause we advocate, and never doubting that all true-hearted men will endorse our estimate of the political character of the Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield. Matih, 1880. CONTENTS. AN APOSTLE OF LIBERTY JUDY'S PARTY THE NEW COACHMAN NO SURRENDER ....
