Excerpt from Caricature History of the Georges: Or, Annals of the House of Hanover, Compiled From the Squibs, Broadsides, Window Pictures, Lampoons, and Pictorial Caricatures of the Time So far I had written as a preface to the first edition of this book, which appeared in 1848. I have only to add that, for this new edition, I have carefully revised the whole, and that I have made corrections where they seemed to be called for. It is further to be remarked that the title of this book having been originally England under the House of Hanover, it has been judged desirable, for several reasons, to change it in the second edition to that which it now bears - which, in fact, describes it to the general reader more intelligibly, as well as more correctly; for it is, strictly speaking, the History, by Caricature and Poli tical Satire, of the Reigns of the Three Georges.
