THREE MEN IN A BOAT
(TO SAY NOTHING OF THE DOG)

"The present opportunity has been taken
to re-set in new type the letterpress,
and to re-engrave (from the originals)
the whole of the drawings.
The publisher trusts that Three Men in a Boat,
appealing as it does so much to human nature
both in its pathos and its humour,
will still continue its pleasant voyage,
and find new friends in every home
in the land which gave it birth."

BRISTOL, March, 1909.
