_A Sequel to the Antidote to the Miseries of Human Life, containing a Further Account of Mrs Placid and her daughter Rachel.

By the Author of the Antidote._ What _does_ it all mean?
'Squire Bustle'-- 'Miss Finakin'-- 'Uncle Jeremiah'-- used people to read books like this when grandfather was a little boy?
It looks quite charming, but I think we'll put it by for the present.

What's this?
Oh, a daguerreotype, I suppose--an extraordinary-looking, smirking old person in a great bonnet with large roses all round her face, and tied with huge ribbons under her chin.

Dear auntie, why don't you wear bonnets like that?
You _would_ look so sweet! Pamphlets--tracts--oh dear, these are all dreadfully dry.

What a mixture it all is, to be sure.
