Sut Lovingood. Yarns spun by “A Nat’ral Born Durn’d Fool.” Warped and Wove for Public Wear by George W. Harris. Illustrated with eight fine full page engravings from designs by Howard. It would be difficult, we think, to cram a larger amount of pungent humor into 300 pages than will be found in this really funny book. The Preface and Dedication are models of sly simplicity, and the 24 Sketches which follow are among the best specimens of broad burlesque to which the genius of the ludicrous, for which the Southwest is so distinguished, has yet given birth.
