Dainty and unique in style, it will provide bright and amusing Summer reading, appealing to the taste of cultivated people of society. The papers are quite unconventional, and are treated with a rare sense of humor. The versification has the genuine ring. The volume will undoubtedly make a hit.—Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.

Bright and full of fun.—Boston Globe.

Graceful in fancy, and bright in wit and spirit. The author's drollery is irresistible, and we should think young ladies would enjoy the book as much as the beings of the opposite sex.—Quebec Chronicle.

The author is anonymous—as usual, now-a-days—but he is known as one of the foremost of a band of clever young writers.—Springfield Republican.

Writes always like a gentleman.—N. Y. Mail.

The volume is of a high order.—Boston Herald.

Suggests Hood at his best.—Boston Journal.

One of the most charming of Summer books.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Written in the approved modern Vers de Societie style, with a singular mixture of wit and deep feeling. Many of the verses would not be disowned by Praed, the master-genius of witty verse, or by Calverly, who wrote "Fly Leaves," a few years back.—Boston Advertiser.

Bret Harte created quite a sensation in London society by reading these verses in manuscript.—N. Y. Pub. Weekly.

The books contain some of the lightest and brightest bits of verse it has lately been our good fortune to lead.—The Critic.
