NOTICES OF THE PRESS. "We said of Doesticks' first work that it was a quaint teacher of morality and a promoter of good works, we are ready to reiterate in respect to this volume. There is not a vulgarity nor an indecency in its pages, but clothed in unusual garb, the burden of its song is morality, virtue, temperance, economy, patriotism. It rebukes pretension, it scathes deception, it withers arrogance, it exposes emptiness. Chapter IX.--What a Woman Did--is one of the best arguments for national union to be found."--_Newark Daily Advertiser._ "'Plu-ri-bus-tah' is a burlesque--broad almost beyond the scope of the imagination."--_Charleston, S.C. Standard._ "Doesticks loves to indulge in a merry laugh at the expense of his neighbors, as a good Christian is bound to do."--_New York Tribune._ "This is far the cleverest thing that Doesticks has done."--_N.Y. Evening Post._ "It overflows with fun, and doctors should recommend it to all their patients who may be troubled with the spleen. Every leaf contains a sketch worthy of Punch."--_Boston Traveller._ "It is full of wit, sarcasm and fun. It is longer than Hiawatha, broader than Hudibras, and deeper than Punch."--_Philadelphia Sun._ LIVERMORE & RUDD, PUBLISHERS, 310 BROADWAY, N.Y. DOESTICKS.
