Summary

"Mr. Punch's History of Modern England, Vol. 3 (of 4) — 1874-1892" by Charles L. Graves is a funny yet insightful view of British history from 1874 to 1892. Through witty writing and cartoons from the magazine "Punch", the book looks at important events and people in England. It talks about big topics like the British Empire, political fights, and problems in society. The book uses smart jokes and funny pictures to show what "Punch" thought about the Victorian times. It brings up important politicians like Lord Beaconsfield and Mr. Gladstone, and talks about issues with other countries, especially Russia and Turkey. Also, it shows how Britain was involved in different wars and the problems it faced at home, like the Irish Question and new feelings of nationalism while poking fun politics with illustrations and poems.
