""John Leech and Other Papers"" is a collection of essays and articles written by John Brown, a Scottish physician and essayist, in the mid-19th century. The book is named after one of the essays, which is a tribute to the famous English caricaturist John Leech. The other papers cover a range of topics, from social commentary on the working class and the poor, to literary criticism of the works of Charles Dickens and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Brown's writing style is witty and engaging, and his observations on Victorian society provide a unique perspective on the era. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a prominent 19th-century intellectual and is a must-read for anyone interested in Victorian literature and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
