General note"Originally published in the New York Sunday mercury."
General note"The great popularity acquired by the short patent sermons of 'Dow, Jr., ' published originally in the New York Sunday Mercury, and where each week they still are, and will be, continued, first suggested the idea of giving them to the public in a volume. They teach morality in so exquisite a manner--with such a mingling of humor and pathos--that they find their way where works of graver matter are seldom read ... and 'Dow, Jr., ' has proved, that, for original humor and genuine wit, he is scarcely, if at all, exceeded by 'Boz.' ..."--Publisher's pref., p. [vii].
General notePublished in parts. "The work will in future be issued in parts of 16 pages, price 6 1/4 cents, and in a corresponding style to the two already given and when completed will make an elegant volume of nearly 300 pages."--P. [4] of wrapper, part II.
General note"Notice: the title page with a full index of the texts will be given in the last number"--Cover, pt. I.
