Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Comic Almanack: An Ephemeris in Jest and Earnest, Containing Merry Tales, Humorous Poetry, Quips, and Oddities; First Series, 1835-1843 Stubbs' Calendar, or the Fatal Boots, which subsequently appeared as Stubbs' Diary; and Barber Cox, or the Cutting of his Comb, formed the leading attractions in the numbers for 1839 and 1840. The Almanack was published at 28. 6d., but in 1848 - 9 the size was reduced and the price altered to 13. The change did not produce the increased circulation expected, and in 1850 it was again enlarged and published at 28. 6d. In this year some very spiritedly designed folding plates were added, and this feature continued until 1853, when Mr. Tilt's partner, the late Mr. Bogue, thought proper to discontinue the work.
