The _Saturday Review_ says of this most amusing work:—“Enormous burlesque—unapproachable and pre-eminent. We venture to think that this very queer volume will be a favourite. It deserves to be so; and we should suggest that, to a dull person desirous to get credit with the young holiday people, it would be good policy to invest in the book, and dole it out by instalments.”

NEW SOCIETY BOOK BY THE AUTHOR OF “PUNIANA.”

DROLL ILLUSTRATIONS, IN COLOURS, AFTER THE ORIGINALS. Cloth extra,

the Georges.”) 4to, profusely illustrated by FAIRHOLT. 21_s._

_CARICATURE HISTORY OF THE GEORGES (House of Hanover)._ Very
Entertaining Book of 640 pages, with 400 Pictures, Caricatures,
Squibs, Broadsides, Window Pictures. By T. WRIGHT, F.S.A. 7_s._
6_d._

⁂ _Companion Volume to “History of Signboards.” Reviewed in almost every English journal with the highest approbation._

“A set of caricatures such as we have in Mr. Wright’s volume brings the surface of the age before us with a vividness that no prose writer, even of the highest power, could emulate. Macaulay’s most brilliant sentence is weak by the side of the little woodcut from Gillray, which gives us Burke and Fox.”—_Saturday Review._

“A more amusing work of its kind was never issued.”—_Art Journal._

“It is emphatically one of the liveliest of books, as also one of the most interesting. It has the twofold merit of being at once amusing and edifying.

an India-paper tone, and elegantly bound, gilt, gilt edges, price
10_s._ 6_d._ only.

⁂ _This most amusing work has already passed through Five Editions, receiving everywhere the highest praise as “a clever and brilliant book.” To no other work of the present day have so many distinguished Artists contributed Illustrations. To the designs of_ GEORGE CRUIKSHANK, JOHN LEECH, JULIAN PORTCH, “PHIZ,” _and other Artists_, Sir NOEL PATON, MILLAIS, JOHN TENNIEL, RICHARD DOYLE, _and_ M. ELLEN EDWARDS, _have now contributed several exquisite pictures, thus making the New Edition—which is Twice the Size of the old one, and contains irresistibly funny pieces—the best book for the Drawing-room table now published_.

“A book which will delight all.”—_Spectator._ Fourth Edition, 580
pp., price 7_s._ 6_d._ only.

_From the “Times.”_

“It is not fair on the part of a reviewer to pick out the plums of an author’s book, thus filching away his cream, and leaving little but skim-milk remaining; but, even if we were ever so maliciously inclined, we could not in the present instance pick out all Messrs. Larwood and Hotten’s plums, because the good things are so numerous as to defy the most wholesale depredation.”—_Review of three columns._

⁂ _Nearly 100 most curious illustrations on wood are given, showing the various old signs which were formerly hung from taverns and other houses._

_ROMANCE OF THE ROD: An Anecdotal History of the Birch, in Ancient and
Modern Times._ With some quaint Illustrations. Crown 8vo,

“A pipe is a great comforter, a pleasant soother. The man who smokes, thinks like a sage, and acts like a Samaritan.”—_Bulwer._

“A tiny volume, dedicated to the votaries of the weed; beautifully printed on toned paper, in, we believe, the smallest type ever made (cast especially for show at the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park), but very clear, notwithstanding its minuteness.... The pages sing, in various styles, the praises of tobacco. Amongst the writers laid under contribution are Bulwer, Kingsley, Charles Lamb, Thackeray, Isaac Browne, Cowper, and Byron.”—_The Field._

18

THE TRUE CONSOLER.

He who doth not smoke hath either known no great griefs or refuseth
himself the softest consolation, next to that which comes from
heaven. “What, softer than woman?” whispers the young reader. Young
reader, woman teases as well as consoles. Woman makes half the
sorrows which she boasts the privilege to soothe. Woman consoles us,
it is true, while we are young and handsome: when we are old and
ugly, woman snubs and scolds us. On the whole, then, woman in this
scale, the weed in that. Jupiter, hang out thy balance, and weigh
them both; and if thou give the preference to woman all I can say
is, the next time Juno raffles thee—O Jupiter! try the weed.

“An extraordinary work: violent, extravagant, perverse, calculated to startle, to shock, and to alarm many readers, but abounding in beauty, and characterized by intellectual grasp.... His power of word-painting is often truly wonderful—sometimes, it must be admitted, in excess, but always full of matter, form, and colour, and instinct with a sense of vitality.”—_Daily News_, Feb. 12, 1868.

“It is in every way worthy of Mr. Swinburne’s high fame. In no prose work can be found passages of keener poetry, or more finished grace, or more impressive harmony. Strong, vigorous, and musical, the style sweeps on like a river.”—_The Sunday Times_, Jan. 12, 1868.

BUCKSTONE. Crown 8vo, 500 pages, 7_s._ 6_d._

⁂ _Admirers of genuine old English wit and humour—irresistible and always fresh—will be delighted with the collected edition of George Colman’s humorous works. As a wit, he has had no equal in our time; and a man with a tithe of his ability could, at the present day, make the fortune of any one of our so-called “comic journals,” and bankrupt the rest._
