ARTEMUS WARD: HIS BOOK. The Author’s Enlarged Edition.

Containing the whole of the Original, with the following extra chapters:—Babes in the Wood; Tavern Accommodation, Betsy-Jain-Re-Organized; A. Ward’s First Umbrella; Brigham Young’s Wives; Artemus Ward’s Brother; Mormon Bill of Fare.
NOTICE.—Mr. Hotten’s Edition it the only one published in this country with the sanction of the Author.
The Saturday Review says of Mr. Hotten’s edition: “The author combines the powers of Thackeray with those of Albert Smith. The salt is rubbed in by a native hand—one which has the gift of tickling.”
“We never, not even in the pages of our best humorists, read anything so laughable and so shrewd as we have seen in this book by the mirthful Artemus.”—Public Opinion.
ARTEMUS WARD: His Travels Among the Mormons and on the Rampage. Edited by E. P. Hingston, the Agent and Companion of A. Ward whilst “on the Rampage.” New Edition, price 1s.
