proud."--_N.Y. Critic._

a new field of literature, but as a quaint teacher of morality, a
promoter of good works, and an improver of public taste."--_Newark

NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

"A humorist and a satirist of a very high order. His blows are aimed
with severe accuracy against a vast number of the follies, frailties,
and humbugs of the day."--_Baltimore American, Md._

"He shows up many of the modern popular humbugs in a very strong light,
and handles them most unmercifully."--_Dayton (Ohio) Daily Empire._

"Doesticks is a wonder. The same happy spirit seems to pervade the
author and the artist--the illustrations of the latter are quite up to
anything Cruikshank ever achieved in the same line. If anybody can look

"Doesticks is one of the few immortal names that were not born to die.
Doesticks will always be with us. We have only to step into our library,
and behold there is the ubiquitous Doesticks! We take him by the
hand--we listen to the thoughts that breathe--the quaint philosophy--the
piquant illustration! Doesticks all over--Doesticks in every page--in
every line! Do you wish to make the acquaintance of Doesticks? Every
body does."--_New York Railway Journal._

"The illustrations are in admirable keeping with the general tone of
these 'unprecedented extravagances,' and will help to introduce
Doesticks and his companions to a large circle of acquaintances."
--_McMakin's Philadelphia Saturday Courier._

"'Doesticks' is irresistibly funny."--_P.T. Barnum's Letter to the N.Y.
Tribune._

"Renown has made the euphonious name of 'Doestick
