Mr. Meredith Nicholson characterizes Abe Martin as a “Plato on a cracker barrel; or radiant Socrates after Xantippe’s departure to visit her own folks in Tecumseh township.” Cartoons of Abe’s neighbors who are characterized in epigram appear, accompanied by brief bibliographical bits. Then follow the “mirth-provoking epigrams” themselves, which do justice to an Artemus Ward.
