evidence that in Holland during the present day there is a

=The Humour of Ireland.= Selected by D.J. O'DONOGHUE. With numerous
Illustrations by OLIVER PAQUE.

"A most conscientiously, exhaustively, excellently compiled
book; the editor could not have done his work better."--_The
Speaker._

"Does all that such a volume possibly could do for the
magnificent genius with which it grapples."--_Chronicle._

=The Humour of Spain.= Translated, with an Introduction and Notes, by
SUSETTE M. TAYLOR. With numerous Illustrations by H.R. MILLAR.

"Mirth and entertainment are in the book entitled the Humour
of Spain, as well as many quaint and unexpected side-lights on

be very largely read."--_Daily Chronicle._

Introduction by STEPNIAK. With 50 Illustrations by PAUL FRENZENY.

"This is one of the most entertaining of the 'International
Humour' Series, since it comprises some really exquisite
examples of humour, such as Gogol's diverting little comedy,
'Marriage,' and Ostrovsky's delightful sketch,
'Incompatibility of Temper.'"--_Saturday Review._
