Fable for Critics

James Russell Lowell. Reader! Walk up at once (it will soon be too late) and buy at a perfectly ruinous rate A fable for critics : or, better, (I like, as a thing that the reader's first fancy may strike, an old-fashioned title-page, such as presents a tabular view of the volume's contents) A glance at a few of our literary progenies (Mrs. Malaprop's word) from The tub of Diogenes; a vocal and musical medley. That is, a series of jokes / by a wonderful quiz, who accompanies himself with a rub-a-dub-dub, full of spirit and grace, on the top of the tub. Set forth in October, the 21st day in the year '48. New York: G.P. Putnam, 1848.
