=The Humour of France.= Translated, with an Introduction and Notes, by
ELIZABETH LEE. With numerous Illustrations by PAUL FRENZENY.

"From Villon to Paul Verlaine, from dateless _fabliaux_ to
newspapers fresh from the kiosk, we have a tremendous range of
selections."--_Birmingham Daily Gazette._

"French wit is excellently represented. We have here examples
of Villon, Rabelais, and Moliere, but we have specimens also
of La Rochefoucauld, Regnard, Voltaire, Beaumarchais,
Chamfort, Dumas, Gautier, Labiche, De Banville, Pailleron, and
many others.... The book sparkles from beginning to
end."--_Globe._

"An excellently representative volume."--_Daily Telegraph._

"Whether it is Saxon kinship or the fine qualities of the

=The Humour of Italy.= Translated, with an Introduction and Notes, by
A. WERNER. With 50 Illustrations and a Frontispiece by ARTURO FALDI.

"Will reveal to English readers a whole new world of
literature."--_Athenaeum._

"Apart from selections of writers of classical reputation, the
book contains some delightful modern short stories and
sketches. We may particularly mention those by Verga, Capuana,
De Amicis.... Excellent also are one or two of the jokes and
'bulls' which figure under the heading of newspaper
humour."--_Literary World._

=The Humour of America.= Selected, with a copious Biographical Index
of American Humorists, by JAMES BARR.

"There is not a dull page in the volume; it fairly sparkles
and ripples with good things."--_Manchester Examiner._

=The Humour of Holland.= Translated, with an Introduction and Notes,
by A. WERNER. With numerous Illustrations by DUDLEY HARDY.
