Casual essays of The Sun; editorial articles on many subjects, clothed with the philosophy of the light side of things. $1.50. Priv. ptd.
Extracts from the editorial pages of the New York Sun, which “touch lightly upon many subjects—upon the passing of the negro minstrel and the banjo, upon mince pie, ... famous men and institutions ... upon college yells, hairpins, Solomon, and the impropriety of addressing the president of the United States as ‘Excellency.’ There is some delectable and curious matter about poets old and new.... You may find also essays on English and reformed manners of spelling it, ... essays upon women of all ages, upon sweethearts and loves, essays upon mothers-in-law, and even essays upon the cup that cheers.” (N. Y. Times.)
