sharp knife, not letting it cut quite

No one could ask for a richer store than these works of Thackeray, from which to
draw for literary recreation during the evenings of the winter or the days of the summer
outing.
Thackeray was the king of satirists. His brilliant wit scintillates llko the gleams of
light from the facets of the diamond. His shafts pierce like tho point of a rapier.
The foibles and fashions, the fads and follies of the upper crust are held up to
scathing ridicule, while the habits and habitations of the masses are laid bare for instruc
tion, amusements and general edification. No man or woman should be without
Thackeray's 'Works.
No household has tho right to withhold Thackcay from its youths and maidens.
Everyone should avail themselves of the following
