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; that is, a series of jokes
By: by a wonderful quiz, who accompanies himself with a rub-a-dub-dub, full of spirit and grace, on the top of the tub. Set forth in October, the 21st day in the year '48, by G. P. Putnam, Broadway.
