"All the world's a joke, and all the men and women merely
jokers."--_Shakspeare_. From the text of Joseph Miller.
Messrs. GAG and GAMMON beg most respectfully to call the strict attention
of the reading public to the following brief prospectus of their
forthcoming work "On Jokes for all subjects." Messrs. GAG and GAMMON
pledge themselves to produce an article at present unmatched for
application and originality, upon such terms as must secure them the
patronage and lasting gratitude of their many admirers. Messrs. GAG and
GAMMON propose dividing their highly-seasoned and
warranted-to-keep-in-any-climate universal facetiae into the following
various heads, departments, or classes:--
General jokes for all occasions; chiefly applicable to individuals' names,
expressive of peculiar colours.
A very superior article on _Browns_--if required, bringing in said Browns
in Black and White.
Embarrassed do., very humorous, with _Duns_; and a choice selection of
unique references to the copper coin of the realm. Worthy the attention of
young beginners, and very safe for small country towns, with one wit
possessed of a good horse-laugh for his own, or rather Messrs.
