_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

_Pall Mall Gazette._--"A humorist of high excellence."
_Daily Express._--"Really clever and admirably good fun."
_Star._--"Some day there will be a Leacock Club. Its members will
all possess a sense of humour."
