Misadventures at Margate : a Legend of Jarvis's Jetty. Written

by Thomas Ingoldsby. Pictured by Ernest M. Jossop. (Eyre and Spottiewoode.)—We hardly recognised under this fine title our old friend, "The Little Vulgar Boy." But here he is, never before, Barely, no handsomely dressed up. Mr. Jessop's pictures are capital. He will, we are sure, not take it ill if we say that he has sat at the feet of Randolph Caldecott. But he is nothing like a copyist. The "boy" is a distinct creation ; no are the sailors ; so, above all, is Mrs. Jones, the very ideal of a lodging-house keeper.
