Daisy's Necklace, and What Came of It

by Thomas Bailey Aldrich

THE 'FROGPOND GAZETTE,'
(high authority), in a long review
of this work says: 'Daisy's Necklace
is the King of all Novels.'
'The Blundertown Journal' (also
high authority) remarks:
'This Book is an emanation from the
culminating mind of glorious genius!'
'Nothing like it has been produced
in this century!'
'It has all the fine elements of
Dickens' Novels, without any of their
numerous defects!'
Our first edition (20,000 copies) is
exhausted, and we beg our friends to
have patience for a few days.
WANTED, 4,000 Agents to sell the
above work!!

Printem & Sellem,

Publishers."

"Four thousand agents!" quoth Barry, looking over my shoulder; "I rather think it would take forty thousand to sell an edition of 'Daisy!'"

I laughed at my irate friend, and, igniting a fresh regalia, crossed my feet on the mantel-piece, and remarked, composedly,

"Now for the Critics!"
