Introduction by E. P. KINGSTON, companion of Artemus Ward when on his "Travels."

**For many years past the sayings and comicalities of "Josh Billings" have been quoted in our newspapers. His humour is of a quieter kind, more aphoristically comic, than the fun and drollery of the "delicious Artemus," as Charles Reade styles the showman. If Artemus Ward may be called the comic story-teller of his time, "Josh" Although promised some time ago, Mr. Billings" "Book" has only just appeared, can certainly be dubbed the comic essayist of his day. but it contains all his best and most mirth-provoking articles.
