THE
WIDOW RUGBY'S HUSBAND,
AND OTHER STORIES.
By JOHNSON J. HOOPER, Esq.
Author of "Adventures of Captain Simon
Suggs."
WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY ELLIOTT.
"A collection of humorous stories well calculated to provoke laughter. We advise the immediate purchase of the book, but a temperate use of it—one story at a sitting will be sufficient; a greater indulgence might result seriously. The very pictures have set us in a roar, and we can scarce compose our nerves sufficiently to make our words intelligible to the compositor."—Philada. Advertiser.
"This is, of course, quite full of fun—'all sorts' of fun; and those who want a good laugh, should take a peep at Elliot's very original comic illustrations."—Am. Courier.
"This book is by the favorite and witty author of 'Adventures of Simon Suggs,' with original designs by the inimitable Darley. It is a capital illustration of the laughable side of Western and Southern life. If you would enjoy a broad laugh, buy it."—City Item.
"There is enough 'fun' in this volume to 'spice' a magazine for a twelvemonth."—Southern Literary Gazette.
"Excellent for dispelling care are the humorous works with which Mr. A. Hart, Chestnut and Fourth streets, is supplying the lovers of mirth. His is the only 'library' of the kind in the country, where genuine humor is measured out in periodical doses, and always warranted to make a man 'laugh and grow fat.' That is the motto, and a capital one it is. The last lot is labelled 'Widow Rugby's Husband,' divided into a number of the most comical and amusing stories imaginable. The illustrations of 'A Ride with Old Kit,' 'A Night at the Ugly Man's,' 'Captain McFadden,' and the 'Poor Joke,' are among the richest provocatives to a hearty laugh."—American Courier.
