LITERARY NOTICES.

"The plan adopted is the chronological, so that the sertes will be not only # collection of the Puet's works, but a history of his mind." Athenaeum.

"We are glad to find that the Editor has included in this edition many fugitive pieces, which in a few years hence it would have been impossible to identify. Everything calculated to throw light on the development of Hood's genius will be welcome to the public, whom he moved at will to tears or laughter." Daily News.

"Mr. Thomas Hood has fulfilled his task as Editor remarkably well. His arrangement of the material at his command is most satisfactory, and his notes—not many—are always succinct and to the purpose." Morning Post.

"But what an ingenious and whimsical punster was Hood, and what an exquisite lyrist! Fantastic ideas that would never occur to any other man, came naturally to him." The Press.
