Part 11

--_Chicago Evening Post._

“Every one of the sketches is clever, humorous, but never unkind. An analytical gift of character reading is one of the salient attributes of Mr. Leacock’s style, and his present volume is one that will be seized with avidity and read with delight.”

--_Buffalo Express._

“A master of keen, pointed satire, a lover of a good laugh, a writer capable of dexterously holding up to the light the foibles, weaknesses, craftiness and guile of his fellow man and woman, is this Stephen Leacock, and never before has he exemplified all this so patently, and withal so artfully, as in the present volume.”

--_Cleveland Town Topics._
