 NOTABLE BOOKS OF AMERICAN HUMOR FROM THE LIST OF SMALL, MAYNARD & COMPANY, BOSTON BY FINLAY PETER DUNNE ( MR.

MAX PEMBERTON, in The London Daily Mail. " Full of wit and humor and real philosophy which rank their pos- sessor among those humorists who have really made a genuine con- tribution to permanent literature."
