Wycherley borrowed Alceste, and turned him we quote the words of so lenient a critic as Mr. Leigh Hunt into "a ferocious sensualist, who believed himself as great a rascal as he thought everybody else." The surliness of Molière's hero is copied and caricatured. But the most nauseous libertinism and the most dastardly fraud are substituted for the purity and integrity of the original.
In view of all these facts, is it not a humiliating circumstance; or rather, is it not an outrageous insult to the American people, that Madam Stowe, after having basely caricatured, slandered and misrepresented her own country, to flatter and please the English people, and their Northern allies in the United States; should with her ill-gotten gains fly across the ocean, to join the slanderers, denunciators and libelers of our beloved country?
Campaign of 1872.% At the beginning of the campaign there were thus seven presidential candidates before the people. But some refused to run, and others had no chance, so that the contest was really between General Grant and Horace Greeley, who was caricatured unmercifully.
They twisted his words to make them look absurd: they told anecdotes about him, true for the most part, though the rest were a tissue of lies, nicely calculated to set him at loggerheads with the whole town, and, worse still, with the Court: even his physical appearance, his features, his manner of dressing, were attacked and caricatured in a way that by dint of repetition came to be like him.
Pitt Motive of his going out of office Error of the English Government Pretended regard for the Bourbons Violation of the treaty of Amiens Reciprocal accusations Malta Lord Whitworth's departure Rome and Carthage Secret satisfaction of Bonaparte Message to the Senate, the Legislative Body, and the Tribunate The King of England's renunciation of the title of King of France Complaints of the English Government French agents in British ports Views of France upon Turkey Observation made by Bonaparte to the Legislative Body Its false interpretation Conquest of Hanover The Duke of Cambridge caricatured The King of England and the Elector of Hanover First address to the clergy Use of the word "Monsieur" The Republican weeks and months.
Undeniably he was very plain, when you had time to think of it, but it was with him as with the celebrated advocate, M. Cremieux, so much caricatured, neither of them seemed at all plain to me as soon as they spoke; both had expressive eyes and countenance, and the interest awakened by the varying expression of the features did not allow one to think of their want of symmetry and shape.
Suleiman is represented as reading the Koran, in the character of a devout and good man. The present Sultan is hit off capitally, with one hand holding a bag of money behind him, and with the other stretched out before him, begging for more. H B could not have better caricatured the three Shereefian Sultans.
Her race, alas! is now all but extinct the race of Frétillon, of Francine, of Lisette, Musette, Rosette, and all the rest of that too fascinating terminology the race immortalized again and again by Béranger, Gavarni, Balzac, De Musset; sketched by a hundred pencils and described by a hundred pens; celebrated in all manner of metres and set to all manner of melodies; now caricatured and now canonized; now painted wholly en noir and now all couleur de rose; yet, however often described, however skilfully analyzed, remaining for ever indescribable, and for ever defying analysis!
His wig helped him to look like some strange kind of animal, very queer, but yet with a sagacious, and, on the whole, beneficent aspect. During the session some mischievous young barrister occupied himself with sketching the judge in pencil; and, being handed about, it found its way to me. It was very like and very laughable, but hardly caricatured.
It has been my object to describe these persons, not by a caricatured and exaggerated use of the national dialect, but by their habits, manners, and feelings, so as in some distant degree to emulate the admirable Irish portraits drawn by Miss Edgeworth, so different from the 'Teagues' and 'dear joys' who so long, with the most perfect family resemblance to each other, occupied the drama and the novel.
