! &9Se: e: Geo. p Putnam ch'easo: SIS. aiisssa
We have before spoken Of the distinguish
ing trait OF this edition Of Hoods Works. It
is beside this, all that the typography aud me
chan1cal execution can make it. The matcri-
ais OF the present {the third) volume have been
chiefly dram from the collections Of his hu-
morous pieces, published by the author uu-
der the title Of Hoods Own, WhimsicalitIes.
and Whims and Oddities, with few poems
IRON the London and New Monthly aa5a
zincs, thus giving in i permanent form many
fugitive pieces Of lesser value, and stu marx
ed with Hoods genius. Among these ara
some Of his earlier efasions and .jeux d'esprit,
based On temporary and local incidents, and
which have outIycd the themes that gave
them origin. This .AldiRs edition will be q
tre:1suse to many libraries and to the many
American admirers Of the humorlst and
bard.
