Sut Lovingood. Yarns spun by “A Nat’ral Born Durn’d Fool.” Warped
and Wove for Public Wear by George W. Harris. Illustrated with
eight fine full page engravings from designs by Howard. It would be
difficult, we think, to cram a larger amount of pungent humor into 300
pages than will be found in this really funny book. The Preface and
Dedication are models of sly simplicity, and the 24 Sketches which
follow are among the best specimens of broad burlesque to which the
genius of the ludicrous, for which the Southwest is so distinguished,
has yet given birth.
