Natural humorists are rare, say the publishers of Mr. Stanley

Salvidge's Salvaged Trifles (James Clarke, 3s. 6d.). However that may he,and although Mr. Salvidge's sketches are uneven in their effects there are gleams of good fun in them all, and the best of them are really clever and original. For instance, " The A.B.C. of Christmas," which first appeared in the Spectator, is a delightful piece.
