od Prevaricators," and "Ballads of Capers and Actions," give an
idea of the nature of the contents, which are fully equal in freshness,
vigour, and manly feeling to the poems by which Mr. Day has already won
an established reputation.
"It is impossible to think of any person or class of people in America

ballads will fail to please."--_The Chicago Record-Herald._

BY OLIVER HERFORD
=ALPHABET OF CELEBRITIES, AN=
"Mr. Herford, less considerate than Dr. Holmes, always dares to be as
funny as he can, and the wicked glee with which he groups persons
incongruous and antipathetic and shows them doing things impossible to
them, and makes pictures of them, is a thing to shock the Gradgrinds and
dismay the Chadbands. The book is printed in two colors to divert the
reader's mind from the jokes, lest laughter be fatal to him."--_New York
Times._
Paper boards, 9-3/8 x 7-1/8 in.
With 26 illustrations by the Author. =$1.50=

Little poems, full of fancy and sweetness, for grown people as well as
for children.
"It is pleasant to observe that Father Tabb is not afraid of the pun. He
uses it very felicitously in a number of his verses. It is good to see

rimes, without chuckling and forgetting her woes, will be indeed deeply
dyed in cerulean."--_The Bookseller, Newsdealer, and Stationer._
