" We have here a book to be thankful for. A mong the many interesting illustra- 

 tions is a photographed copy of t fie ' Times' for January ist, 1788, ivhich may be 

 easily read by means of a magnifying glass. IVe recommend the present volume, 

 which takes us through antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the present time, illustrat- 

 ing all in turn by advertisements serious, comic, roguish, or downright rascally. 

 The chapter on 'swindles and hoaxes' is full of entertainment ; but of that the 

 volume itself is full from the first page to the last." ATHENJEUM.
