Punch Drawings. By F. H. Townsend. (Cassell. 31s. 6d.)— The

late Mr. Townsend had a ready and vigorous pen to draw with. His work is always solid and thorough, even sometimes to the extent of making the fun, which is undoubtedly there, a little heavy-handed. Where he succeeds best is in street boys and village cricket. The drawings are always strictly illustra- tive of the legends beneath them and have little purely artistic quality.
