Summary "The Comic Almanack, Volume 2" by Thackeray, À Beckett, Mayhew, Mayhew, and Smith is a humorous collection written during the mid-19th century. This volume serves as an anthology of wit, satire, and comic relief, featuring various anecdotes, poetry, and illustrations that reflect on societal norms and events of the time. It likely combines insights on politics and everyday life with a lighthearted approach, intending to entertain and provoke thought. The beginning of this almanack introduces a range of humorous topics and light-hearted takes on serious subjects, including a satirical examination of Parliament and the economy, offering simple yet witty rules for interpreting legislative acts and navigating financial advice. Among the amusing content are discussions on emigration, gardening, predictions, and humorous societal observations, all embellished with illustrations meant to enhance the comedic effect. The opening portions effectively set the tone for a playful exploration of contemporary issues, engaging the reader with a clever mix of jest and insightful commentary.
