later--in 1860--the places had changed, partly through death,
partly through rearrangement:--

WILLIAM BRADBURY*
W. M. THACKERAY (when he came) JOHN LEECH
TOM TAYLOR HENRY SILVER
HORACE MAYHEW CHARLES KEENE
SHIRLEY BROOKS JOHN TENNIEL
PERCIVAL LEIGH MARK LEMON
F. M. EVANS*

Here the artistic element is seen to be asserting itself to
some extent, the proportion between artist and writer being
further readjusted after the lapse of another five years: for
in 1865 the constitution of the table became--

F. M. EVANS*
TOM TAYLOR G. DU MAURIER
W. H. BRADBURY* HENRY SILVER
(his father seldom came now)
HORACE MAYHEW CHARLES H. BENNETT
CHARLES KEENE F. M. EVANS, JR.[9]
F. C. BURNAND SHIRLEY BROOKs
PERCIVAL LEIGH JOHN TENNIEL
MARK LEMON

--the editor for the first time taking his proper place at the table,
although, it is true, it was only at the foot.

To-day the number of the staff has been increased, and the right
proportion struck between the pen and the pencil--the editor, too,
presiding.

MR. F. C. BURNAND
SIR JOHN TENNIEL MR. F. ANSTEY
MR. LINLEY SAMBOURNE MR. HENRY LUCY
MR. ARTHUR A BECKETT MR. E. T. REED
MR. R. C. LEHMANN MR. BERNARD PARTRIDGE
MR. HARRY FURNISS
(until Feb. 1894) MR. PHIL MAY
MR. DU MAURIER MR. E. J. MILLIKEN
SIR WILLIAM AGNEW (sometimes)
MR. LAWRENCE BRADBURY or
MR. PHILIP AGNEW

In the decade or so following the death of Douglas Jerrold--roughly
corresponding with the period within which the arrangements varied as i
have shown--six new appointments were made to the table. These were: Mr.
Henry Silver, In August, 1857; Charles Keene, February, 1860 (after a
nine years' probationership); Mr. F. C. Burnand, June, 1863; Mr. G. Du
Maurier, November, 1864; Charles H. Bennett, February, 1865 (though
ill-health prevented him from taking his place until the following
June); and Mr. R. F. Sketchley (till 1894 of the South Kensington
Museum), January, 1868. The present Staff, I may add, since Mr. du
Maurier's accession, have taken their places at the Table in the
following order: Mr. Linley Sambourne, Mr. Arthur a Beckett, Mr. E. J.
