“Mr. Hotten has conceived the happy idea of printing Artemus Ward’s ‘Lecture’ in such a way as to afford the reader an accurate notion of the emphasis, by-play, &c., with which it was delivered. We have no hesitation in saying that Mr. Hotten has almost restored the great humourist to the flesh.”—Daily Telegraph.
“The tomahawk fell from our hands as we roared with laughter—the pipe of peace slipped from between our lips as our eyes filled with tears! Laughter for Artemus’s wit—tears for his untimely death! This book is a record of both. Those who never saw Artemus in the flesh, let them read of him in the spirit.”—Tomahawk.
“It actually reproduces Ward’s Lecture, which was brimful of first-class wit and humour.”—Daily News.
“It keeps you in fits of laughter.”—Leader.
“One of the choice and curious volumes for the issue of which Mr. Hotten has become famous.”—City Press.
“The Lecture is not alone droll: it is full of information.”—Examiner.
“It adds one to our books of genuine fun.”—Sunday Times.
