LONDON AND NEW YORK: FREDERICK WARNE AND CO. TWO HUNDRED SKETCHES, HUMOROUS AND GROTESQUE. BY GUSTAVE DORE. FOURTH EDITION. LONDON AND NEW YORK: FREDERICK WARNE A^N D CO. PRE FACE. MONG the many drawings by GUSTAVE DORE which have of late been pubHshed in England and elsewhere, comparatively few represent the Artist in the direction in which his real strength is gene- rally confessed to lie. "As a grotesque designer," says one of the principal London literary journals, " he has no living rival, and few equals in former times;" but the works "with Illustrations by DORE" put forth to show his excellence, not unfrequcntly present him in that phase in which his peculiar talent is not exhibited to advantage. The present volume shows GUSTAVE DORE as a master of the grotesciue ; and the Publishers appeal to the Public, to whom the volume is offered, confident in the expectation that the high estimate formed by those to whom these Sketches are alread}- familiar, will be corroborated by the uencral verdict.

This is how two of our bucolic neighbours acted upon the advice of the local justice, who recommended them to come to an amicable arrangement between themselves on a disputed point.

GoDiNOT, who requests the pleasure of his company, as he feels bored in the couutry. P.S.— M. Godinot will ex- pect him at ten o'clock to- morrow moi'nin Accordingly, M. Bcrniquet sets out with the courier, after once nioro reading the last paragraph, which leaves on his mind an im- pression that he is "to be bored in the country." The provincial courier having dropped him at the nearest point, M. Berniquet is gratified to hear from a native, in answer to his inquiries, that M. Godinot's "chateau" is only six short miles off, straight before him, after turning round by Claude's field. On reaching the ancestral domain of Godinot, he is received, in the first instance, by a mastiff, who is evidently anxious to ascertain if his calves are those of a robber. But Godinot himself cries out from afar that the dog never bites any one who does not seem afraid of him. Godmot's first care is to display to his guest his possessions in the way of cabbage and beetroot, and to give a complete dissertation on their production. Berniquet, who has not the most distant idea of cultivating those vegetables, feels considerably bored. 3 18 LIFE O TEE PRO YOCES.— History of an Invitation into the Country, Then Godinot drags him off to make acijuaintance with the live stock. Berniquet wouki be quite satisfied if he could only get on a friendly footing with the dog. Godinot proceeds to lecture on the antiquities in his park.

These young ladies give themselves airs of great sim- plicity — but, no, wc can hardly say "give themselves airs," for the simplicity is evidently natural to them. A gentleman ■who gives himself the airs of a great draughtsman, and especially affects facility of execution. Monsieur gives himself tlie airs of a musician, because he knows just enough to turn over the leaves. The idiot represented above gives him- self the airs of an enemy of the public press.

Until the resurrection of the journals takes place, advertisers will be compelled to seek new methods of publicity. * Our superfine livery servants, no longer satisfied with the substantial wages they now demand, will expect to be waited on by their masters.

The newspapers will continue more than everj by accounts of sea serpents and other monsters, to spread horror and consternation among their subscribers. But they will likewise continue, in the morning, to contradict the horrifying facts they have announced overnight. In short, they will go on making the public believe that tlicir wind-bags are lamps. { PEOPHECIES COKCERJ^llvG THE EUTUEE OE THE ERETfCH PEOPLE. 49 Aubert's coloured caricatures will continue to delight childreii of all ages. 7 Ever anxious to offer novelty to its patrons, the management of the Hippodrome will send for some Esquimaux, and change its arena into a polar sea. 50 PROPHECIES CONCERNING THE FUTURE OP THE FRENCH PEOPLE. The worthy grocers will continue to clispous^e their merchandise with the most scnipnlous justice. Their weights will be as exact as those of Themis. Colonists in Algeria will continue to experience the varied amenities of colonial life. Gentlemen of the above profession will continue to be very popular in France, especially amonij servant maids.
