With seventeen humorous cuts drawn by
ROBERT SEAVER and appropriate
setting. Square 18mo, 50 cents, net.

The classic and pathetic ballad of the fortunes of Ben
Battle is perhaps the most famous of Hood’s humorous
poems. The seeming crudity of the laughable
pictures heightens the humor of Hood’s punning
verses, and the result is a holiday booklet which
cannot fail to amuse.
