		Political cartoonist and social reformer John Wilson Bengough was one of a number of English Canadian liberal Protestants who sought to reform society by laying the foundations for a Christian republic; concern with Canadian national identity was central to his project of social and moral reform.

		John Leech lived for many years rent-free in Chorltonville and Chorlton Green and was as cunning and disloyal as Richard III, as well as the present day.
		This man (John Leech) is one of the most unctious MP's that I have ever investigated, some of the anecdotes, that I have gathered from former friends and aquaintances beggar belief.

		After the downfall of Napoleon (1815), however, when strife was over and men were weary and satisfied, a change in matter and manner came over the caricature of the period.
		Among its early illustrators were John Leech (1817-1864) and Richard Doyle (1824-1883), whose drawings were full of the richest grotesque humour.
		In the field of humorous portraiture also, as in cartoon-designing, Mr Sambourne has made his.mark, and he may be said almost to have originated, in a small way, that practice of illustrating the doings of parliament with comic sketches in which Mr Furniss, Mr E. Reed and Sir F. Gould were his most notable successors.

		John Bull then became better known as a cartoon character, originally as a rather stupid figure weighed down by taxation but later as a portly and prosperous one.
		Both John and Bull are common English names, and Arbuthnot originally chose the latter because his satiric purposes required the name of an appropriate animal, but it is interesting to note that there was an actual and famous John Bull (1562-1628) who is sometimes said to be the composer of the British national anthem.
		John Doe and Richard Doe are, to this day, mandated in legal procedure as the first and second names given to unknown defendants in a case (followed, if necessary, by John Stiles and Richard Stiles).

		The fact that John Leech won't contribute to the site on a fortnightly basis just goes to show what a spineless politician he is. He has devoted a ridiculous amount of his time emailing people about this site in addition running to the papers complaining.
		John Leech's campaigns were successful not because they were based on real issues but because they were based on scaremongering lies!!!
		John Leech has already shown himself to be a person more concerned with feathering his own nest, than with pusuing the interests of his constituents.

		Much of John Bright's public correspondence was collected and edited by H.J. Leech in 1885 under the title "The Public Letters of the Right Hon.
		John Bright, M.P." While some of these letters would seem rather mundane today many present Bright's views on the burning issues of the day and in many cases provide useful overviews of important political ideas.
		In old age, John Bright wrote a memoir of his youth, covering his first thirty years in varying degrees of fullness.

		John Leech used the caricature of a baby for the purposes of a scorn that was not angry, but familiar.
		Leech did but finish him in the same spirit, with dots for the childish eyes, and a certain form of face which is best described as a fat square containing two circles--the inordinate cheeks of that ignominious baby.
		His precedent might be cited to excuse every politician who cannot remember whether he began his sentence with "people" in the singular or the plural, and who finishes it otherwise than as he began it.

		Since the cartoon tended to be destroyed in the process or was subsequently discarded as serving no further purpose, few old cartoons have survived.
		Among those which have been preserved, the best known are by Italian painter Raphael, drawn about 1516 as designs for wall tapestries for the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, Rome; and The Virgin and Child with Saint John the Baptist and Saint Anne (1499?, National Gallery, London), by Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci.
		The meaning of the word cartoon changed in the 1840s, when Prince Albert, who wanted to decorate the walls of the new Houses of Parliament in London with frescoes, opened a competition for their design.

		The change was reflected in the drawings of John Leech (1817-1864) which, incidentally, were the first "cartoons," in that sense of the word, to be so called.
		Though some of Leech's earlier cartoons against Catholics and Jews were sufficiently biting and direct to excite anger at home, and others against Napoleon III and Nicholas I of Russia had Punch banned abroad, Leech's work later mellowed into social pleasantries.
		Among his contemporaries was John Tenniel (1820-1914), the apotheosis of a dignified school, who had become the most significant English cartoonist of his day.

		Sydney Smith declared that when Lord John first contested Devonshire the burly electors were disappointed by the exiguity of their candidate, but were satisfied when it was explained to them that he had once been much larger, but was worn away by the anxieties and struggles of the Reform Bill of 1832.
		Their conversation supplied Lord John with an anecdote which he used to bring out, with a twinkling eye and a chuckling laugh, whenever he heard that any public reform was regarded with misgiving by sensible men.
