Reader! walk up at once (it will soon be too late) and buy at a perfectly ruinous rate a fable for critics
Subtitle: or, better, (I like, as a thing that the reader's first fancy may strike, an old fashioned title-page, such as presents a tabular view of the Volume's contents) a glance at a few of our literary progenies (Mrs. Malaprop's word) from the tub of Diogenes; a vocal and musical medley
By: That is a series of jokes by a wonderful quiz, who accompanies himself with a rub-a-dub-dub, full of spirit and grace, on the top of his tub
