Among the numerous testimonials from the press in all sections of the country, we select the following, proving that the author's productions will be sought for and read by thousands of admirers. NOTICES OF THE PRESS. "A humorist and a satirist of a very high order. His blows are aimed with severe accuracy against a vast number of the follies, frailties, and humbugs of the day."-Baltimore American, Md. "He shows up many of the modern popular humbugs in a very strong light, and handles them most unmercifully."-Dayton (Ohio) Daily Empire. "Doesticks is a wonder. The same happy spirit seems to pervade the author and the artist-the illustrations of the latter are quite up to anything Cruikshank ever achieved in the same line. If anybody can look at these spiritings of the pencil without a loud laugh, he is certainly out of our list of even grand fellowsbut to enter fully into the pleasing features of the work-to laugh over the jokes, to enjoy the home-thrusts of wit and satire, our friends must buy the book itself." -Sunday Mercury, N. Y. "Doesticks is one of the few immortal names that were not born to die. Doesticks will always be with us. We have only to step into our library, and behold there is the ubiquitous Doesticks! We take him by the hand-we listen to the thoughts that breathe-the quaint philosophy-the piquant illustration! Doesticks all over-Doesticks in every page-in every line! Do you wish to make the acquaintance of Doesticks? Every body does."-New York Railway Journal. "The illustrations are in admirable keeping with the general tone of these 'unprecedented extravagances,' and will help to introduce Doesticks and his companions to a large circle of acquaintances."-McMakin's Philadelphia Saturday Courier. "Doesticks' is irresistibly funny."-P. T. Barnum's Letter to the N. Y. Tribune. "Renown has made the euphonious name of 'Doesticks' familiar to the ear of all the reading public throughout the length and breadth of the land. Those who would eschew the blues, and drive dull care away, should read Doesticks-what be says."-Lansingburg Gazette, N. Y. "The Doesticks' book is before us. Its inimitable fun sticks to us long after we have shut the book-its rollicking humor comes back to us in gusts."—Boston Chronicle. "Doesticks is an original genius. His book is just the thing to pick up at odd moments, when time hangs heavy, and the mind seeks to be amused."-Gazette and Democrat, Reading, Pa. "The essays of the rich, racy, humorous, and original Doesticks will be read by thousands."-New Orleans Bee. "Doesticks' fun is not of the artificial, spasmodic order, it arises from a keen perception of the humorous side of things."-New York Tribune. "His blows at humbug are trenchant, and his sympathies are ever with humanity."-Boston Evening Gazette. "Doesticks comes to us like a full and sparkling goblet, overflowing with the rich and brilliant sayings of an original mind. If you would drive away the Blue Devils,' purchase Doesticks, and every sketch you read will be better than any pill for the indigestion."-The Uncle Samuel, Boston. "What Cruikshanks, Leech, or Gavarni does with the pencil, he accomplishes with the pen."-The N. Y. Dutchman. "The author is a humorist and a satirist of a very high order. His blows are aimed with severe accuracy against a vast number of the follies, frailties, and bumbugs of the day,"-American and Commercial Advertiser, Baltimore, Md. LIVERMORE & RUDD, Publishers, 310 BROADWAY, NEW YORK. WILL APPEAR IN MAY, GREEN PEAS, PICKED FROM THE PATCH OF INVISIBLE GREEN, ESQ. A quaint title, dear reader, is it not? Yet one that will answer well to introduce to the public in book form a series of graphic delineations which have at irregular intervals enlivened the columns of one of the principal journals of the Queen City. They have attracted much attention not only there, but in all parts of the Union, for their genial humor and sprightliness, the faithfulness with which the writer has sketched the peculiarities of the "characters" with whom he has come in contact during his daily rambles, and also for the excellent moral tone which pervades them throughout. They convey many an earnest lesson in life, even while causing the reader to shake his sides at the ludicrousness of the picture drawn. His happy manner of hitting off the foibles, holding up to contempt the vices, and enlisting the better feelings in favor of the often undeserved miseries of those in the lower walks of city life, have made "Invisible" hosts of friends in all parts of the country; and their number has been largely increased by the frequency with which his shorter sketches have "gone the rounds of the press." To the lovers of true humor we can recommend this volume. It will be extensively illustrated with cuts, from designs by McLenan, who is already favorably known to the public, especially in his inimit able illustrations of "Plu-ri-bus-tah." LIVERMORE & RUDD, Publishers, 310 BROADWAY, NEW YORK, OF REV. SPENCER H. CONE, D.D., A BAPTIST PREACHER IN AMERICA. (PREPARED BY HIS SONS.) DR. CONE, late Pastor of the First Baptist Church, city of New York, was President of the AMERICAN BIBLE UNION, correspondent and friend of ADONIRAM JUDSON, the eminent missionary, and one of the most remarkable men of the present age. The Bible Union Quarterly thus speaks of him— "Whose heart is not heavy with the swelling emotions of sorrow, as he seeks in vain in his wonted place for that beloved form, whose very presence in our meetings was a strength and a joy; and the thought rises that he shall 'see his face no more,' no more hear that familiar voice which ever rung like a clarion-peal in defence and advocacy of the highest and holiest truth, and in cheer and encouragement to its faithful friends, and whose very name was a guaranty of success to every enterprise and principle to which he gave his heart and soul. May God have mercy on the man who can cherish aught but honor, bve, and gratitude for the character and services of SPENCER H. CONE." The New York Chronicle in announcing this work in press, says"As this work has been prepared under the immediate inspection of the family of Dr. CONE, there is every reason to suppose that it will be a complete, accurate, and in every way reliable memoir of our lamented brother, and we believe all of our readers will wish to possess it." DR. CONE'S life was full of romance and incident, as well as a bright example of Christian virtues; and the volume is one which should find a welcome at every fireside, and a place in every family library. 480 pages 12mo, Bound in Muslin, Printed on fine White Paper, Price $1 25, and Embellished with a STEEL PORTRAIT, Engraved by BUTTRE, whose reputation as an Artist is unapproachable. 810 BROADWAY, NEW YORK.
