Graphic._--"The book is a joy all through, laughter on every page." _Times._--"Further examples of the diverting humour of Professor Leacock." _Bystander._--"'Further Foolishness,' in a word, is the most admirable tonic which I can prescribe to-day ... the jolliest possible medley." _Daily Chronicle._--"Mr. Leacock's fun is fine and delicate, full of quaint surprises; guaranteed to provoke cheerfulness in the dullest.
