"It is not fair on the part of a reviewer to pick out the plums
of an author's book, thus filching away his cream, and leaving
little but skim-milk remaining; but, even if we were ever so
maliciously inclined, we could not in the present instance
pick out all Messrs. Larwood and Hotten's plums, because the
good things are so numerous as to defy the most wholesale
depredation."--_The Times._
*** _Nearly 100 most curious illustrations on wood are given,
showing the various old signs which were formerly hung from
taverns and other houses._
