THE BOOK OF BALLADS.

By Bon Gaultier. One volume, 12mo., cloth, price 75 cents.

"Here is a book for everybody who loves classic fun. It is made up of ballads of
all sorts, each a capital parody upon the style of some one of the best lyric writers of
the time, from the thundering versification of Lockhart and Macaulay to the sweetest
and simplest strains of Wordsworth and Tennyson. The author is one of the first
scholars, and one of the most finished writers of the day, and this production is but the
frolic of his genius in play-time."

Courier and Enquirer.

"We do not know to whom belongs this nom de plume, but he is certainly a humerist
of no common power."
