Capital news for the boys and girls—for all those
young people who like the good things of this life,
and among those good things one of the best of all,
a good innocent hearty laugh ! Capital news, that

citron peel, and muscatol raisins,and sugar and spice,
and all that's nice, as tho nursery song has it, there
may be found by all those who care to .peculate to
the extent of that little rough-edged fourpenny bit,
all sorts of comicalities in prose and verse and
woodcut illustrations. Among these—a collection
of rhymed nonsense, written by Charles Matthews !
