The Christmas number of the Lampoon, with its four extra pages of matter, is very presentable. The best work is in the special cover by F. G. Hall and in the two drawings by R. Edwards, both of which are distinctly high class work. The centre picture, by R. H. Greeley, though original and pleasing in style, is carelessly executed. Most of the smaller drawings are well done, especial improvement being noticeable in headpieces and initials. Little is added by the leading story, which, though good in conception, drags in the telling.
The editorials are readable and the shorter articles, particularly the verses, are amusing; but, on the whole, in point of merit, the reading matter still lags behind the illustrations.
