THE

HISTORY ОF

T O M T H U M B.

This is an amusing little history, abound- ing with so many ludicrous incidents, that it almost never fails to excite the merriment and risible faculties of the young freader. Tales of enchantments and transformations by fairies and magi- cians, being mere chimeras of the brain, are believed by no one; and although the wonderful achievements of the re- nowned Tom Thumb are of this descrip- tion, yet the many laughable adventures which our hero goes through makes the story be eagerly sought after and greed- ily devoured by juvenile readers of both Sexes.
