The _Saturday Review_ says of this most amusing work:—“Enormous burlesque—unapproachable and pre-eminent. We venture to think that this very queer volume will be a favourite. It deserves to be so; and we should suggest that, to a dull person desirous to get credit with the young holiday people, it would be good policy to invest in the book, and dole it out by instalments.”

⁂ _Companion Volume to “History of Signboards.” Reviewed in almost every English journal with the highest approbation._
“A set of caricatures such as we have in Mr. Wright’s volume brings the surface of the age before us with a vividness that no prose writer, even of the highest power, could emulate. Macaulay’s most brilliant sentence is weak by the side of the little woodcut from Gillray, which gives us Burke and Fox.”—_Saturday Review._
“A more amusing work of its kind was never issued.”—_Art Journal._
“It is emphatically one of the liveliest of books, as also one of the most interesting. It has the twofold merit of being at once amusing and edifying.

To the designs of_ GEORGE CRUIKSHANK, JOHN LEECH, JULIAN PORTCH, “PHIZ,” _and other Artists_, Sir NOEL PATON, MILLAIS, JOHN TENNIEL, RICHARD DOYLE, _and_ M. ELLEN EDWARDS, _have now contributed several exquisite pictures, thus making the New Edition—which is Twice the Size of the old one, and contains irresistibly funny pieces—the best book for the Drawing-room table now published_.

_From the “Times.”_
“It is not fair on the part of a reviewer to pick out the plums of an author’s book, thus filching away his cream, and leaving little but skim-milk remaining; but, even if we were ever so maliciously inclined, we could not in the present instance pick out all Messrs. Larwood and Hotten’s plums, because the good things are so numerous as to defy the most wholesale depredation.”—_Review of three columns._
⁂ _Nearly 100 most curious illustrations on wood are given, showing the various old signs which were formerly hung from taverns and other houses._

“An extraordinary work: violent, extravagant, perverse, calculated to startle, to shock, and to alarm many readers, but abounding in beauty, and characterized by intellectual grasp.... His power of word-painting is often truly wonderful—sometimes, it must be admitted, in excess, but always full of matter, form, and colour, and instinct with a sense of vitality.”—_Daily News_, Feb. 12, 1868.
“It is in every way worthy of Mr. Swinburne’s high fame. In no prose work can be found passages of keener poetry, or more finished grace, or more impressive harmony. Strong, vigorous, and musical, the style sweeps on like a river.”—_The Sunday Times_, Jan. 12, 1868.
