Mr. Punch's Scottish Humour is a part of Punch Library of Humour, a book series of volumes of selected Punch Magazine sketches, described as cream of Scotland's national humor, contributed by the masters of the comic draughtsmanship and popular wits of the age to 'Punch'. The work is edited by Sir John Alexander Hammerton.
Around seventy-five percent of the jokes appearing in Punch came from Scotsmen, so it is a reasonable assumption that the bulk of the accounts in this collection have originated from the north of the border. The text prepares the reader to laugh with «Mr. Punch» at this collection of Scottish humor.
Expressing the objective, the text states that it was «Designed to provide in a series of volumes, each complete in itself, the cream of our national humour, contributed by the masters of comic draughtsmanship and the leading wits of the age to „Punch,“ from its beginning in 1841 to the present day.»
