Punch (77.1879)

278 PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. [December 20, 1879.

PUNCH'S DREAM-AFTER STUDY OF THE WEATHER-CHART.

Hather too Hard on Him.

Addressing a Liberation Society; Conference, held, in prospect of
a General Election, at the " Memorial Hall," Farringdon Street—

_ " The Bev. J. Or. Rogers, B.A., said the first thing to be done was to get
rid of Lord Beaconsfield and all his works."

_ Is not this suggestion a little too sweeping ? Say that it is expe-
dient, if practicable, to get rid of Cyprus, and of a " Scientific fron-
tier," acquisitions that may be enumerated among the works— even the
works of fiction, according to Mr. Gladstone—of Lord Beaconsfeeld,
still does the Rev. Mr. Rogeks consider it either possible or neces-
sary to get rid likewise of Vivian Grey, Sibyl, Henrietta Temple,
Coningsby, and the other literary works of the same author ?
