"We have here a book to be thankful for. We recommend the present volume, which takes us through antiquity, the middle ages, and the present time, illustrating all in turn by advertisement—serious, comic, roguish, or downright rascally. The volume is full of entertainment from the first page to the last,"—Athenæum.
