Todhunter, John, 1839-1916

"The Black Cat A Play in Three Acts"



=IN THE GREEN PARK=.
By F. NORREYS CONNELL.
WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY F.H. TOWNSEND.
_Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d._
"Excellent fooling. Teems with classical chaff and latter-day
badinage. The chief attraction is the uninterrupted flow of
exuberant animal spirits which permeates its pages. Mr. Townsend's
illustrations to this quaint work are decidedly funny."--_Daily
Telegraph._
"Full of clever and whimsical conceits. Will best be appreciated by
Londoners, and welcome to the general reader."--_Morning Post._
"Not at all a bad specimen of the New Humour."--_Truth._
"The newest New Humour."--_National Observer._
"Very clever. Mr. Connell's next volume is sure to be good."--_Black
and White._
"A fantastic and amusing work. Mr. Connell is a humorist, and a
humorist of a distinctly original type. We have laughed heartily
over this book. The whole is so piquantly flavoured and seasoned.
Stories of the after-dinner type, audacious occasionally, but never
coarse, and always redeemed by a pretty and nimble art. The author
is a good fellow with his quips, and jests, and cranks; and nobody
will regret making his acquaintance.
