This is a satire, parodying the writings of the Times publisher John Stoddard using the name Mr. Slop.

Illustrated by George Cruikshank (1792-1878), a British caricaturist and illustrator, most renowned for his work for Charles Dickens and on 'The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman'.

Containing a folding plate.

Loosely inserted is the original newspaper clipping containing this work.

A very scarce and important satire.
