A  REPRODUCTION  in  facsimile  of  the  crudely  printed  and
often  humorously  illustrated  pamphlets  that  were  hawked
about  the  country  by  the  chapmen  of  a  bygone  age.  ^ok
collectors,  antiquarians,  and  lovers  of  the  quaint  and  curious
will  be  charmed  with  the  reproduction  in  volume  form  of  the
literature  that  amused  the  leisure  hours  of  their  forefathers.
From  first  to  last  the  tales  are  literally  crowded  with  amusing
and  characteristic  cuts,  all  hand-coloured.  The  type,  though
purposely  thick  and  coarse,  is  very  legible,  while  the  illustrations, ­
  charming  in  their  unique  humour,  will  provoke  smiles
from  the  gravest.
