Notes

Humorous verse. The following is from the untitled poem devoted to the spirit of cant (pp. 18-21): "I might go to Milton, and steal, bit by bit, A description to suit my Spirit of Cant, A second-hand suit, but a ‘shplendid’ fit, As a Jew would assure me, but I shan’t." On cover: Nothing to Say. By Doesticks. Illustrated.
