The biographical sketch of Samuel Butler, prefixed by Mr, Festing

Jones to the Humour of Homer, &o., has now been issued separately as No. 2 of the Life and Colour Series (Jonathan Cape, 2s. 6d.). It is a charming introduction to Butler, but everyone who reads it will immediately want to turn, or return, to the full-length portrait from the same pen.
