AGENTS HAVE BUT TO SHOW THE BOOK TO OBTAIN A SUBSCRIBER.
The satire of the book is pungent enough to have grown on a red pepper plant,
and the accuracy of aim with which it is delivered is not excelled by that of a Wimbledon
prize winner.
—Hearth and Home N. Y.
The result has been a careful reading of the book from beginning to end: and what we
undertook as a duty we finished with no little zest. We wish some Tract Society would see that
it is widely circulated at Washington.
—Boston Congregationalist.
They have given most of the falsities of the time a sound thrashing that will be appreciated,
and of all the levers wherewith to topple over the thrones of Sham, ridicule such as this is the
strongest.
—Appleton's Journal.
It is one of the most active pieces of composition we have lately read. It is wonderfully
varied and vivacious, a broadside discharge of heavy guns at everything hollow in modern
society.
—Utica Herald.
Just what might be expected from Twain and Warner. It hits about every head that shows
itself prominently above the surface of society, politics, and finance.
—Syracuse Journal.
