THE CHOICEST HUMOROUS POETRY OF THE AGE.

READER.

The Times of 25th July, 1864, says :-"To associate the names of eminent persons with ludicrous images ** keen and caustic political satire. America has produced an excellent specimen of this kind of writing in the celebrated Biglow Papers of Mr. Lowell."

The work has frequently been alluded to in the House of Commons, and is acknowledged by the most fastidious of our English critics, to be the keenest piece f satire and the best humorous poetry of the present century.
