BY JOHN KENDRICK BANGS
Mr. Bonaparte of Corsica.
Mr. Bangs is probably the generator of more hearty, healthful, purely good-humored laughs than any other half-dozen men of our country to-day.--_Interior_, Chicago.
The Idiot.
"The Idiot," continues to be as amusing and as triumphantly bright in the volume called after his name as in "Coffee and Repartee."--_Evangelist_, N. Y.
The Water Ghost, and Others.
The funny side of the ghost genre is brought out with originality, and, considering the morbidity that surrounds the subject, it is a wholesome thing to offer the public a series of tales letting in the sunlight of laughter.--_Hartford Courant_.
Three Weeks in Politics.
The funny story is most graphically told, and he who can read this narrative of a campaigner's trials without laughing must be a stoic indeed.--_Philadelphia Bulletin_.
Coffee and Repartee.
Is delightfully free from conventionality; is breezy, witty, and possessed of an originality both genial and refreshing.--_Saturday Evening Gazette_, Boston.
