CANTO XXVIII.
Reading edition
Just across the River Lethe there lies a small territory where the explorer finds the caricaturists who ridiculed public men for money—not principle.
He describes their punishment, which is to look forever at pictures of themselves made after they have been rolled, kneaded, pulled and twisted out of all semblance to their former selves.
Mr. Hunt is not disturbed by pangs of pity as he journeys on.
THE POLITICAL CARTOONISTS.
