Hard Cover. Condizione: Near Fine. Near Fine. 4th Printing. 4th printing (Ford-Smith, Folio 76 #1140). Includes publisher's slipcase. Fine book in near fine slipcase. Slipcase faintly scuffed. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2003 Hard Cover. 288 pp. A collection of humorous vignettes by various authors, with contributions by William Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson, Charles Dickens, Winston S. Churchill, the Queen of England, G.K. Chesterton, P.G. Wodehouse, Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker, Groucho Marx, etc., etc. Ever since Chaucer's day, when the host of the Tabard Inn in Southwark rose to welcome the Canterbury Pilgrims with a joke, the After Dinner Speech, designed, if possible, to reduce the assembled company to helpless merriment, has presented the ultimate challenge. The best speakers are natural story-tellers - Gerard Hoffnung, reading a selection of letters from continental hoteliers: 'There is a French widow in every bedroom affording delightful prospects'; John Mortimer telling the woeful tale of a man's numerous unsuccessful attempts to murder his wife: 'At no time did Mrs Scott feel that the magic had gone out of their marriage' - and in this collection of post-prandial treasures you will find the very best of them, from Groucho Marx on how to resist a femme fatale, to Ralph Steadman surreally addressing the Lewis Carroll Centenary Dinner. 'Goodness', said a friend on greeting Mae West, 'where did you get those beautiful pearls?' 'Goodness', replied Mae, 'had nothing to do with it.' Shaggy dog stories, practical jokes, sporting anecdotes, rousing toasts, travellers' tales and risque reminiscences rub shoulders in this essential collection with real-life revelations and moments of history. Among the guests are Peter Ustinov, Jilly Cooper, Brian Johnstone, Charles Dickens, Dorothy Parker, Robertson Davies, Henry Grady and A.P. Herbert. There is food and drink in abundance. There is gentle reflection and endearing charm as well as defiant frivolity. Above all there are stories for every occasion - witty, absurd, momentous, philosophical, fascinating, poignant, and forever entertaining.…

Condizione: very good. With a foreword by Lord Macmillan. London : Edward Arnold, 1937. First edition. Orig. cloth binding. 205 pp. 19x13,5 cm. - This book offers a narrative exploring legal justice through human-centric storytelling. Published between the interwar period's rising global uncertainty, it reflects on the inefficiencies and moral challenges of legal systems. Against a backdrop of social change and legal reforms, the authors aim to illuminate how the law is perceived by those on its receiving end - clients, litigants, accused - presenting cases that engage broader debates about fairness, rights, and the human face behind legal proceedings. Both female authors were working at the University of London and Barrister-at-Law. Dorothy Knight Dix (1909-1970), later Dorothy Waddy, was a trailblazing British legal professional. She studied at University of Lausanne and University College London before being called to the Bar at Inner Temple in 1934. In January 1946 she became Recorder of Deal - one of the first women ever to serve as a judge in a jury trial in England - and in 1968 was appointed a County Court judge, only the second woman to do so after ElizabethLane DBE. Her contributions to public understanding of law were matched by her judicial milestones, making her a significant figure in modern British legal history. Condition : very good copy.
