FOREWORD

This book is made up from my contributions to _Punch_--a casual
selection from the four hundred or so which have appeared in the last
nine years. It is offered to the American public as a sample of that
_Punch_ humour (and perhaps, therefore, British humour) which Americans
so often profess not to understand. According to whether they like it or
do not like it, I hope they will consider it a representative or an
unrepresentative sample.
