This is a delightful little story, interesting from its incidents and
characters, and conveying excellent morality and humanity in a
pleasing dress. The illustrations are those of the London edition, and
are admirably graphic. Cruikshank's mode of making a face expressive
of character by caricaturing it, is well exhibited in his sketches in
the present volume.
_The Book of Visions, being a Transcript of the Record
of the Secret Thoughts of a Variety of Individuals
while attending Church._
The design of this little work is original and commendable. It is
written to do good, and we trust may answer the expectations of its
author. It enters the bosoms of members of the cabinet, members of
congress, bankers, lawyers, editors, &c
., and reports the secret
meditations of those who affect to be worshipers. It is published by
J. W. MOORE of this city.
