OPINIONS OF THE AMERICAN PRESS.

 

"One of the most amusing books of the year. Mr. Graham is a fluent and ingenious rhymester, with an alert mind and a well-controlled sense of humour."--_The Times_ (New York).

""Misrepresentative Men" shows so high-spirited a mastery of words and metre (the result, we take it, of laborious days) that it will be read with pleasure by the most fastidious lover of what is amusing."--_The Nation_ (New York).

"Mr. Graham"s verses are exceedingly clever, and Mr. Strothman"s ill.u.s.trations add to their cleverness."--_The Bookman_ (New York).

"A very amusing little book, by that cleverly humorous versifier "Col. D. Streamer," whose "Ruthless Rhymes for Heartless Homes"

has had such a deserved vogue."--_Town Topics_ (New York).

"The most amusing biographical caricatures of celebrities that we have read for a long time. There is not a dull line in the entire collection."--_The Bookseller_ (New York).

"These satirical verses have the same ingenious humour as the writer"s previous rhymes. The book is altogether refreshing."--_Town and Country_ (New York).

"The hit of the season."--_The Lexington Herald._

"A most attractively humorous work."--_The Pittsburg Despatch._

"A little book of really clever verse."--_The Milwaukee Sentinel._
