⁂ This work has been in preparation since 1858. Nearly 500 curious old Jest Books and collections of famous Witticisms are being examined for materials. It is believed that no similar compilation issued since the days when Jack Mottley compiled the book of Jests usually attributed to “Joe Miller” will be found to excel the above for true wit and refined humour.

Vere Vereker’s Vengeance,
A SENSATION
IN
SEVERAL PAROXYSMS.
BY
THOMAS HOOD.
IDIOTICALLY ILLUSTRATED BY
WILLIAM BRUNTON.
⁂ One of the most amusing volumes which have been published for a long time. For a piece of broad humour, of the highly sensational kind, it is perhaps the best effort of Mr. Hood’s pen.
