shooting folly as it flies,

_Truth._--"Full of practical wisdom, as sober as it is sound."

_Morning Post._--"He is the subtlest of all transatlantic
humorists, and, as we have pointed out before, might almost be
defined as the discoverer of a method combining English and
American humour. But he never takes either his subject or himself
too seriously, and the result is a book which is as readable as any
of its mirthful predecessors."

_World._--"Those readers who fail to find pleasure in this new
volume of Essays will be difficult to please. Here are discourses
in the author's happiest vein."

_Daily News._--"All are delightful."

_Bystander._--"No sane person will object to Professor Leacock
professing, so long as he periodically issues such good
entertainment as 'Essays and Literary Studies.'"

_Daily Telegraph._--"The engaging talent of this Canadian author
has hitherto been exercised in the lighter realm of wit and fancy.
In his latest volume there is the same irresistible humour, the
same delicate satire, the same joyous freshness; but the wisdom he
distils is concerned more with realities of our changing age."

_Outlook._--"Mr. Leacock's humour is his own, whimsical with the
ease of a self-confident personality, far-sighted, quick-witted,
and invariably humane."

_Times._--"Professor Leacock's paper on American humour is quite
the best that we know upon the subject."

_Spectator._--"Those of us who are grateful to Mr. Leacock as an
intrepid purveyor of wholesome food for laughter have not failed to
recognize that he mingles shrewdness with levity--that he is, in
short, wise as well as merry."
