⁂ _A Complete Library of Sensation Literature! There are plots enough
here to produce a hundred “exciting” Novels, and at least five hundred

those in “Master Humphrey’s Clock.”_
A Keepsake for Smokers.

“A pipe is a great comforter, a pleasant soother. The man who smokes,
thinks like a sage, and acts like a Samaritan.”—_Bulwer._
“A tiny volume, dedicated to the votaries of the weed; beautifully
printed on toned paper, in, we believe, the smallest type ever made
(cast especially for show at the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park), but
very clear, notwithstanding its minuteness.... The pages sing, in
various styles, the praises of tobacco. Amongst the writers laid under
contribution are Bulwer, Kingsley, Charles Lamb, Thackeray, Isaac
Browne, Cowper, and Byron.”—_The Field._
