Admirers of the genius of Randolph Caldecott—and who that knows

his work will not be found among them ?—will be glad to see the First and Second Collection of Pictures and Songs (Frederick Warne and Co.)

How absurd the "Great Panjandram with the Little Button at Top " ! But it is useless to praise what everybody knows.
