Summary: "Mr. Punch's History of Modern England, Vol. 3 (of 4) — 1874-1892" by Charles L. Graves is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work is part of a series chronicling British history in a satirical style, using illustrations and commentary from the well-known periodical "Punch". The volume covers notable events and figures in British politics and society during the specified years, focusing on key topics such as imperialism, political strife, and social issues. At the start of this volume, the text sets a tone of critical observation and commentary, detailing the political landscape of England during the Victorian era. Graves introduces significant political figures like Lord Beaconsfield and Mr. Gladstone, while touching on international tensions, especially concerning Russia and Turkey.
