Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Points of Humour, Vol. 2
The best preface to this set of the points OF HU mour is the former set, which, we are credibly informed, has favorably disposed the muscles of our readers for repeating a certain cackling sound, which is heart food to our friend George Cruikshank.

Discerned wedging his way through sundry piles of books in a remarkable part of Newgate-street, being Opposite to the huge prison of that name. N 0 one ever asked him after the sale of this little work, without Oh serving an instantaneous distension of that feature of the face which is used for more purposes than merely grinning. It is to be devoutly hoped that this second set will not spoil his merriment, and that, as rather a coarse saying goes, he will not be made to sing to another tune.
