NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
"The writings of Judge Haliburton have long been regarded as the
production of the finest humorist that has ever attempted the
delineation of Yankee character, and the entertaining work before us
shows that he has lost none of his original wit and humor. It will be
difficult to find a volume so full of fun and good sense as this, which
chronicles the last experiences of Sam Slick."--_Commercial Advertiser._
"Since Sam Slick's first work he has written nothing so fresh, racy,
and genuinely humorous as this. Every line of it tells, some way or
other--instructively, satirically, jocosely or wittily."--_London
Observer._
"We sincerely pity the man who cannot find in it the materials for the
loosening of several of his coffin nails. It is full of oddity and fun,
and must sell like new tomatoes."--_Buffalo Express._
