s' familiar to the ear
of all the reading public throughout the length and breadth of the land.
Those who would eschew the blues, and drive dull care away, should read
Doesticks--what he says."--_Lansingburg Gazette, N.Y._

"The 'Doesticks' book is before us. Its inimitable fun sticks to us long
after we have shut the book--its rollicking humor comes back to us in
gusts."--_Boston Chronicle._

"Doesticks is an original genius. His book is just the thing to pick up
at odd moments, when time hangs heavy, and the mind seeks to be
amused."--_Gazette and Democrat, Reading, Pa._

"The essays of the rich, racy, humorous, and original Doesticks will be
read by thousands."--_New Orleans Bee._

"Doesticks' fun is not of the artificial, spasmodic order, it arises
from a keen perception of the humorous side of things."--_New York
Tribune._

"His blows at humbug are trenchant, and his sympathies are ever with
humanity."--_Boston Evening Gazette._

"Doesticks comes to us like a full and sparkling goblet, overflowing
with the rich and brilliant sayings of an original mind. If you would
drive away the 'Blue Devils,' purchase Doesticks, and every sketch you
read will be better than any pill for the indigestion."--_The Uncle
Samuel, Boston._

"What Cruikshanks, Leech, or Gavarni does with the pencil, he
accomplishes with the pen."--_The N.Y. Dutchman._

"The author is 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."--_American and Commercial
Advertiser, Baltimore, Md._
