_The Home Journal_ (_N.P. Willis, Esq., Editor_), _says_:
"Things so copied, so talked of, so pulled out of every pocket to be lent to you, so quoted and so relished and laughed over, as Doesticks' writings never were launched into print."
"This book will 'take,' and is bound to sell."--_Boston Post._
"One can read the book again and again, and not tire."--_Detroit Daily Advertiser._
"Any mirth-inclined reader will get the book's worth of fun out of four chapters in the work. It is beautifully illustrated."--_N.Y. U.S. Journal._
"We can promise our readers a hearty laugh over this book."--_New Bedford Mercury._
"The reader is advised to see to his buttons before procuring the volume."--_Salem Register._
"No _original_ comic writer has appeared in this country before Mr. Thompson, alias Doesticks; he will, we think, achieve a position as a literary humorist, of which he and his country will have occasion to be proud."--_N.Y. Critic._
"We cordially recommend this volume, not only as a successful _debut_ in a new field of literature, but as a quaint teacher of morality, a promoter of good works, and an improver of public taste."--_Newark (N.J.) Advertiser._

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.
"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 fellows--but 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._
