THE HUMOUR OF AMERICA.
Selected byJames Barr. With an Introduction and a Comprehensive Biographical Index of American Humorists. Eighty Illustrations byCharles E. Brock.
“Certainly these 462 pages of queer stories and good illustrations are as exceptional for amusing narration as they are for excellence of printing and binding.”—Liverpool Mercury.
“Sparkles and ripples with good things.”—Manchester Examiner.
“Mr. Barr has made his volume as representative as it could well be, and it would be difficult to mention any American writer having a claim to be considered a humorist, who has not had that claim recognised.”—Glasgow Herald.
“The selection is judiciously made, and displays a catholic taste.... The book is a really representative collection of humour, and what passes for humour, in America.”—The Academy.

THE HUMOUR OF HOLLAND.
Translated, with an Introduction and Notes, byA. Werner. With numerous Illustrations byDudley Hardy.
“Apart from the quality of humour, one is much struck by the evidence that in Holland during the present day there is a genial literature, of which we know nothing at all.”—Bookman.
“There are some quite irresistible pieces in the volume. The illustrations are excellent, and the whole style in which the book is produced reflects credit on the publishers.”—British Weekly.
“There are really good things in the book—things of quaint or pretty fancy, things of strong or subtle satire.... Even Mark Twain, in ‘Tom Sawyer’ and ‘Huck Finn’ does not show a finer knowledge of the humours of imaginative boyhood than is displayed by Conrad van der Liede in ‘My Hero.’”—Daily Chronicle.
“The new humour has grown wearisomely old, but here is something to again stimulate.”—The Graphic.
“Interesting sketches of life and manners.”—Daily News.
“The pictures are numerous and good, the dramatic literature of the people is well represented, and the work altogether is so truly excellent that it will always be in season.”—Liverpool Mercury.
“Those who wish to compare the humour of several countries must needs have in their possession such a rich storehouse as this is of the Humour of Holland.”—Irish Times.
