OUT OF THE HURLY-BURLY

Charles
Heber Clark, though almost forgotten today, was a very successful humourist of
the last half of the 19th-Century. Out of the Hurly-Burly was
his most successful work, selling upwards of a million copies, and is entirely
typical of the funny papers of the period. The episode of the Department of Obituary Poetry is one of the high spots of
C19th facetiousness. The illustrations, too, of which there
are nearly 400, are very good.
