⁂ The Times, in a review of three columns, remarked that the “good things in the book were so numerous as to defy the most wholesale depredation on the part of any reviewer.”
Nearly 100 most curious illustrations on wood are given, showing the various old signs which were formerly hung from taverns and other houses. The frontispiece represents the famous sign of “The Man loaded with Mischief,” in the colours of the original painting said to have been executed by Hogarth.
