Book excerpt: Excerpt from Burlesques Mr. H. M. Bateman possesses in remarkable degree that rare gift, a real power of comic draughsmanship. He is capable not only of comic vision, but of comic expression. His "line" is an instinctive expression of the comic: it reveals an innate feeling for the essentially humorous. To put it briefly, if somewhat vaguely, he "draws funnily." He is the terse and witty pictorial raconteur - a shrewd observer who can sum up a character, or conjure up a scene, with a few strokes of such penetrating insight that they carry instant conviction. Humour of the kind which the drawings in this volume embody is so spontaneous, and the expression of it so direct and incisive, that there is perhaps a tendency to overlook the intensity of the effort which produces the seemingly effortless result. Mr. Bateman's method is sometimes described as caricature, but that is to miss its true significance, though the term may seem, upon the surface, appropriate enough. Caricature is the art of inducing humour, by dint of satirical exaggeration, in a subject not necessarily humorous of itself. Mr. Bateman's more difficult function is to reveal humour, not to impose it. There is no trace of the self-conscious humorist in these drawings. Facetiousness is a quality conspicuously and gratefully absent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Condensed Novels: New Burlesques When I state that I was own brother to Lord Burleydon, had an income of two thousand a year, could speak all the polite languages uently, was a powerful swordsman, a good shot, and could ride anything from an elephant to a clothes-horse, I really think I have said enough to satisfy any feminine novel-reader of Bayswater or South Kensington that I was a hero. My brother's wife, however, did not seem to incline to this belief. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Over the Garden Wall: A Musical Burlesque in One Act Scene. - The garden wall. Branches of willow or evergreen at sides and back of wall. At rise of curtain the prelude to the song "Over the Garden Wall" is played by the pianist. Reginald De Jones appears back of wall in centre. Reginald. Ladies, gentlemen and all fellow-citizens assembled before me to-night, - I take great pleasure in introducing to your notice the greatest travelling aggregation of the day. It has taken years of labor to form this gigantic company of "Stars," and there has never been seen such an array of beauty, grace and talent combined as you will find in this company. It is very seldom that we ever play in a town of this size, but last week when we were playing in Blueberry Corners, or name of some village near by) we located this town on the map and decided to make it our next stand, provided we could get a sufficient guarantee from the management of this house. We are the only company on the road travelling on what is now the popular mode of locomotion - namely, the "byke"; and could you see us when we start out you would discover that we all wear bloomers. Now, I am the manager, proprietor and bill-poster of this organization, and my wife, Evangeline, is the treasurer. I wanted that office myself; but as she furnished the money to start us out, she insists on handling all the cash. She also has full charge of the programme; and if you will give us your kind attention we will now proceed. (Calls, L.) Evangeline, my love! Evangeline (outside, L.). Yes, Reginald, my dear. Reginald. You may appear in front of the wall. [Evangeline Enters, L. This fair creature, ladies and gentlemen, is considered by the press and the public to be the most beautiful woman before the American footlights to-day. (To her.) Evangeline, my love, salute the ladies and gentlemen, especially the gentlemen. [She bows two or three times. Now, you may proceed with the programme while I go out and look after the proceeds of the box office. [Exit down behind the wall.
