    Vll In the Preface, I have endeavoured to bring to- gether such observations as have at various times occurred to me upon the comic or ludicrous in art, rather with a view to point out the fertility of the subject to those whose leisure and abilities may enable them to afford the Public an ample and a con- nected history of Caricature, than with any expecta- tion that either my powers or my opportunities would suffice for such a purpose ; and I shall there- fore deem myself fortunate, if I simply escape cen- sure for obtruding upon the province of the critical and the erudite. R. DAGLEY.
