Hard Cover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: 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.

Early printing (no edition/printing statement provided per Bobbs-Merrill's erratic contemporary practice). 276 pages. Hardcover: H 20.75cm x L 13.75cm. Lacks dust jacket. Brown cloth; obtrusive surface abrasion to spine cloth with underlying backstrip visible at several points; spine's lettering perished; mild mottling to boards; front board's lettering heavily flaked away resulting in most being difficult to discern. Toning and staining to edges; toning to endpapers; some toning and foxing spots to interior pages. Front free endpaper has past bookseller's pencil notes as well as an ink signature "Luther Spencer, Jr." which seems likely to be novelist Elizabeth Spencer's elder brother James Luther Spencer, Jr. as the book was acquired from a Greenwood, Mississippi estate from a family with roots in Leflore County and Carroll County, Mississippi. Binding is firm. Only a fair copy for the book's exterior cosmetics. Although ghost written by newspaper columnist Charles Leroy Edson, THE IRON PUDDLER is the autobiography of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Republican Party politician James John Davis, aka "Iron Puddler" or "Puddler Jim," who served as the second U.S. Secretary of Labor from March 1921 to November 1930. Published in 1922, the book covers his immigrant childhood through his ascension to the cabinet post but, of course, precedes his long tenure in that position as well as his election to the United States Senate from Pennsylvania in which he served from 1930 to 1945.

The organization of a scheme of study adapted to American wants is the educational problem, immediately before us, and the present volume, it is hoped, will contribute valuable suggestions toward its solution." - Preface.
